Post something Weird or Random

@Outdated, I was watching Outback Car Hunters last night. Two guys were driving through the outback, the camera panned over a desolate landscape and a voiceover said "Western Australia, over 1 million square kilometers of scorched land". And I was thinking worst tourism ad ever. 😆
Sounds like a good place for a aspie to go to. No one for millions of miles. On my most remote canoe trip, way before all this satellite stuff, I calculated that I was 300 miles from the nearest human habitation or road. It was heaven. (Snows a lot in the winter though :oops: )
 
I'm a little sceptical to sitting in the swamp like that. 🤔
I was living in Darwin when Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter series first went to air on public television. It was pulled halfway through the first episode and never shown in Darwin again because of complaints from parents.

It's perfectly natural that kids are going to go out and play at being crocodile hunters after seeing that, the problem in Darwin is that they're going to find crocodiles.

I like this place, this is an island in Iceland. Elliðaey island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. With one house and nothing else. 🙂
It's called 'the worlds loneliest house'.

Have a look at Tasmania, larger in area than Florida and only has 500,000 people. It does get cold and snow there but not as bad as some US states.

Kayaking and Canoeing in Tasmania | Tasmania Travel Guide
I'd love to visit Tasmania. It looks like most of the paddling requires an ocean kayak. I really can't do kayaking. I've really been trying how to figure out how to get to Australia and try some of the rivers there, but it is pie in the sky right now.

In New Zealand they have this, my sister tried it. It's like a very fast kayak. ;) She doesn't scare easily but this freaked her out a little.

I can easily terrorize myself on this hemisphere. I took a guided raft ride down a river in Costa Rica and I could tell even the guide was afraid. The water was too high for the regular put-in, even the bottom scared me to death.

There's nothing holding you onto the raft. You sit on the edge and tuck your feet under the edge, which I can tell you is totally insecure. Then you are supposed to lean out over your side to paddle. There was no way for me to hold onto the raft with my feet and get my paddle in the water.
 
And it reminds me of this russian guy, I don't know the point of this except that it was just some funny photosession
He wasn't saying "And now for something completely different!" by any chance?
