Have you experienced a natural disaster before?
Tornado
Earthquake
Hurricane
Wild Fire
Flood
ect ect.
Ive experienced an earthquake that reached 7.0 on the richter scale, i was travelling through New Zealand. It was SO scary, i was just laying in bed chilling with a friend then out of nowhere we heard a rumbling then after about 10 seconds the rumbling stopped & BANG everything started to shake (you can hear when an earthquake is coming) We jumped up and ran down stairs into the street and all the trees were shaking and the concrete cracked, a few buildings fall down and yeah  so scary.
Have you ever been through a natural disaster?

No, none of these ever happen in Holland, so boring.
Well we do have a flood every 100 years or so.

Also, Australia is an enormous place with an incredibly diverse ecosystem. We have incredible coastal cliffs in Victoria next to the most incredible rain forests, we have enormous continuous desert which is absolutely stunning, we have the most beautiful beaches and islands (Whitehaven Island is breathtaking) We have wetlands up north as well as epic rainforests. In South Australia there is the most beautiful rural river system surrounded by some of the best foods and wines in the world. Then there is Sydney which has the harbor which speaks for itself Melbourne which swallows the Yarra whole. Not to mention Tasmania where some of it feels like you're the first person to ever walk there.
Australia is the most incredible place, we are incredibly friendly and love tourists, don't be put off by some doomsday ATRL's because almost everyone on this site is delusions and has no ****ing clue what is going on 5 minutes away from their computer.
