Not many folks realise how big Australia is. Three million squ miles and a huge chunk of it desert. Interesting desert, mind you. And Tassie looks small by comparison, yet it's as big as the Irish Rep, for instance. Def worth a trip, especially in Jan,Feb, Mar, April, Oct, Nov, Dec, unless you prefer cool climates. My cousin is currently on a very extended RV trip stateside. Began in Washington State, I think. Currently in Fla, most recently having viewed Manatees. His pix have blown me away. He and his wife have visited EVERY SINGLE NP in your country. You guys really know how to do National Parks. Not just the scenery, which is spectacular. It's the cultural museums, the interpretative guides etc that impress me. You are right to say there is less development here. Pretty rough and raw in places. BTW, I know Canberra well; lived and studied there in my 20s.
