Yup, have been to sth. Oz and it was scary in places. But it was exactly this feeling of emptiness that attracted my husband, not that one has to live in the middle of it, but that it's there, that one can drive for an hour and see NO houses, two cars and just empty space. And the beaches were bril - miles and miles of white sand and the wonderful light one rarely gets here - and don't start on the beach thing again, please Dotty.

Yes most people cluster in certain areas for very specific reasons, but one hour's drive out of e.g. Adelaide and you have bigger, emptier spaces than you'll ever find here in Europe - to some extent scarily empty spaces. Hubby loves it, I like people within the next 10 kilometres.
