Perhaps worse than sharks, snakes, spiders, box jellyfish, and whatever other fauna nasties lurk on or around that large, red, mostly desert continent, perhaps the second-most scary thing about Australia is what it does to your face.
After a day or two, you’ll start to look like you’ve been swimming in a pool with too much chlorine in, a bit like David Moyes.
After an over-winter (aka summer) trip there, you’ll start to look… really old.
After an entire childhood/youth of growing up there, your average Aussie surfer, at 25, looks 40. He could probably come to Europe and clean up in the legends division, without needing to show any ID. At 40, he looks about 90. Sure, you got the weather, the surf, the mineral wealth, the chocolate paddle pops and the fishing, but your grid is ruined.
If you treasure your youthful looks, go to NZ instead… preferably the South Island.
