Surprisingly I found Sydney not that all it is made up to be - yes it is friendly, has the Opera house and the Bridge and the nearby three sisters mountains ( which I liked). Melbourne was a cultured city.
The Blue Mountains have the 3 sisters, which are beautiful.
Sydney is a naturally pretty city, but Melbourne is interesting in its own way, but I am bias as Melbourne is my home city.

But the highlight was the outback - Especially the ride in an off road vehicle from Alice Springs through Kings mountain to Uluru, camping under the stars, seeing wild camels, dingos and the Roos. There is nothing like that in the world. Pure magical.
Camping under the stars, is one of the best things to do... stunning... I'm glad you had a good time, and got to see all parts of the country
We are not talking about SIZE OF THE COUNTRY but development!
I'm using the night time satellite image to measure the development, it looks like just the USA east of the Mississippi river is far more developed than the UK, Canada and Australia.
Yes EAST of the Mississippi but west of it population density goes down dramatically. Out of all the Countries the most developed would be the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland not the USA.
Look at the night image of the UK its like one megacity.
Agreed - The UK is the most densely populated of the bunch by far.. Its also bery bery small
I'm really failing to see how the UK has more development than the USA.
Obviously the U.S has more absolute development it has 5 times the population of the UK - around there..
11 times the population of Canada and around 15 times that of the Australia - in and about but in terms of pound for pound density the UK just looks more red and orange to me lol.. The U.S has alot of ground to cover to match the bright colours of the UK on a pound for pound basis...Admittedly for large countries like the U.S/Canada and Australia its more difficult.
