Reply to comment by Poopi-Doopi in Dandenongs National Park, Victoria, Australia [1080x1350] [OC] @steven.sandner by steven_sandner

Grew up in the Dandenongs, now living in NZ. Genuinely couldn’t look much more different. Stringybark gums, tree ferns, muted greens and shallow inclines are very different to here. I guess it’s green and not hugely populated, though!

NZ has tree ferns. The silver fern is one of the symbols of the country.

We also have water, rocks, and some introduced gum trees. They grow differently, and the species are different. The landscape looks pretty different between the two countries. Australia is more of a muted blue/grey palette, and NZ is much brighter green. Everything is dry in Australia, but you often can’t get a fire started in NZ because of all the moisture in the air, even on a clear night in the middle of summer.
