Very attractive country this but then I've always had a preference for the uplands. I also love the exotic feel of all those gorges, Australia being so old and worn in geological terms we don't have many good gorges left and the ones we have are mostly in remote locations.

Western North America is fairly young in geological terms, so it isn't so worn down.
