Ok but western Australia has everybody here beat

Americans don't really care about how big AUS is, we just can't figure out how your wildlife is as deadly as our high school students

It's mostly the emus that you need to watch out for... Just ask our army

[–] GreenEnigma@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is there a secret emu army? Ready to repel all potential land invaders somehow crazy enough to attempt Australia?

The American mind cannot comprehend this!

I just punched it into my GPS to find out and it came back with results for plane tickets lol, I didn’t even know my GPS app could do that

I was coming in with this cause it's straighter haha.

Then see you WA post.

I've done both of these trips before too and them some to get where I'm actually going

[–] tristan@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't done the WA one but I've done Adelaide to Darwin which was a very barron but beautiful drive, would love to do the WA trip one day

[–] GreenEnigma@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds like the perfect place to go for a drive and listen to the Left Right game.

And there's about a 40% chance to survive the trip.

True. Everyone there lives on the southeast side, though.

Well there's a European country where you need a week long train trip from one part of it to the other.

It's only 1hr longer than Tweed Heads to Cape York in QLD
