Australia and Oceania

Personally, I usually scroll through mattresses as quickly as possible. They also spoil the mood.

Romyald, c'mon make excuses, you're just being envied
And if you really do not catch a lot of everything for sale, then they are three times more envious! )))

I'm also jealous, but I have other motives, I don't understand how you can return from such a place, although I wouldn't want to live on that island either, in the Amazon it's better

Should we chip in Roman for a one-way ticket to the Amazon?

Does he promise to go only one way?

Yeah, probably so much organic matter was taken out that not only the birds were left without food - the nitrogen cycle of the island was broken forever )))) There is nothing to say about the impact on global processes!!! Remember the "butterfly effect"? And this is from one butterfly! And in this case..
So now the crazy cataclysms will start, the Antarctic anticyclone will move to Eurasia, Communism peak will become the deepest pit on the planet, Atlantis will pop up, and the wild west will be covered with volcanoes, and eventually the Moon will explode and the Sun will go out!
This is what the re-release of collectible material leads to!

Mda, write such crap, Herofis, admit it, do you smoke something strong or do you throw the same thing in the vein?

Better on the island of Cook and it will be like in the song: "We wanted a coke, but we ate Herofis!!!"

Mda, write such crap, Herofis, admit it, do you smoke something strong or do you throw the same thing in the vein?

Nooo, you didn't guess right!
He burns for mushrooms)) Even topic there's something about it here somewhere. See still found " fun " mushrooms....

Mda, write such crap, Herofis, admit it, do you smoke something strong or do you throw the same thing in the vein?

Horseradish is yaga, and it seems to be already flooded )))) Completely knocks off the cognitive component, along the way )
And the terminology is what, you can immediately see that you have a wide range of experience! In the meantime, I'll go read a dictionary of drug-addicted jargon, otherwise it's hard to read your message without it!

it looks like it's already flooded

"Yaga" was drunk 15 hours ago. And it has long been processed by my body for the benefit of me.

I'm going to go read a dictionary of junkie jargon in the meantime

Watch out everyone, Herofis is now reading a lot of drug jargon and will give out even more delusional messages.

Should we chip in Roman for a one-way ticket to the Amazon?
   

Why discount? If in one direction, then he can take a lot of loans Well, or sell a kidney

Heh, credit, that's a good idea! But who will give it now, it seems like a crisis, deposits on the contrary, require)))

But as for the kidney, I think that you can run into such a service, if you are particularly lucky, in the Amazon itself, and they will probably try to remove the kidney, and not only it, unnoticed!
And how this can be done unnoticed-well described in the "Diamond Hand"))))

Roman thank you for such a great report! Everything is super! And photos and a story from the heart!

I wish everyone who is going to go there this year and beyond a Happy Journey and a Successful Hunt .
I'll be right there ." The ticket is already on the table, the backpack is packed . It remains to get a visa .

We wish the chief of staff a fair wind in the back,and the request-Roman,do not throw out beetles-take everyone to us!

Oddly enough, my good friends have encountered the fact that the French do not understand English in Paris. All attempts to communicate with the locals in English elicited a polite, steady response: "I don't understand anything," and to fairly simple questions. After another unsuccessful conversation with the owner of a small cafe, they began to discuss among themselves the complete ignorance of French English, this madame approaches them and asks, in Russian with a terrible French accent, if they are Russian. After that, they had a rather heartfelt conversation in the great and mighty, as it turned out, my aunt does not have any Russian roots, just studies Russian at her leisure, speaks good English, but like most French people "does not understand"English. Later, the comrades were interested in: "Parle vous russ?" (as it turned out, many French people can communicate quite tolerably in a mixture of Russian and French) and after they were answered"But not prarl pa russ " already calmly communicated in English, when trying to communicate first in English, they again caused complete misunderstanding. The French can't stand the English, like that. That's why there are no English tourists in the French provinces.

The problem is solved simply - I started talking to the French in my well-spoken French-Ryazan. The French winced and suggested switching to english

Well, I'm talking about the same thing, you need to make it clear that you are not anglez and you can safely speak English.

I dedicate my report to the forest, wild animals,
small and rare insects,
as well as the people who created modern Australia.
MacPherson's Ambulyx or the Gifts of the Great Diving Range.
My first trip to Australia was in December 2011. The place of visit was the state of Tasmania. This time, it was decided to send Entomological Special Forces to the mainland and explore one of the most interesting parts of Australia – a section of the Great Dividing Range from Victoria (Melbourne) to the northern border of the state of South Wales.
Looking ahead, it was the most difficult trip ever made. The difficulty was not so much in the huge material costs, but in the possibility of its implementation as such.
In Australia (unlike Tasmania), there is very little available land for naturalist work. All the land is practically bought out or under sale, all fenced with barbed wire and has the same annoying inscription-private property. Despite the fact that the forest area created by nature in Australia is still large, it is almost impossible to approach it, since All private property cuts off approaches from federal highways. When you drive dozens of kilometers along the barbed wire and see a similar picture, you get the impression that the Australians have "blown the roof off" on the basis of personal property. Well, in fact, who will claim the empty land of the devil knows where in the real "Muhosransk"? However, the driving forces of capital have already put everything in its place. The most delicious lands (and not so much) already have a virtual owner, and the penetration of these lands into the National Economy is not limited.Parks have a frightening character. The boundaries of farms are blurred and can go deep into the wilderness, and so-called settlements can suddenly appear in the very depths of the Park. Australia is not the Moscow region, which our government has given up on by building up all the cottage villages ( here you can freely approach the border of the forest) and not even Colombia, in which the barbed wire entangled all the Nats.Parks ( here you can climb over it and walk freely in the closed area or easily negotiate with the farmer). Breaking into "nobody's" private property in Australia is one hundred percent the arrival of the police and detention with the payment of a large fine. In some places in Australia, I even saw the inscription Private property shoot without notice on the gate.
The only place of communication between man and nature in Australia are only the National Parks.Parks that you need a permit to visit. The permit is a ticket for visiting the park (in wed $ 16 per day), which can be purchased at the information center of the region and the Park that the tourist wants to visit. This is probably the right decision. The tourist pays a monetary reward to the state budget, receives the necessary information in the center, a map, and is insured in case of an accident, and also has the opportunity to use magnificent picnic areas where you can recover after many hours of hiking.
Australian laws are very difficult to cross. They are almost perfect, although, in my opinion, unnecessarily harsh. Here everything is fine-tuned, like a high-precision clockwork mechanism. But it is probably impossible to live a high-quality life in any other way.
During my trip, I visited fifteen national parks.Parks of which only two were paid for ( Wilsons Promontory NP, Kosciuszko NP). I simply did not see the need to spend time getting information and spending a limited material budget , because I drew all the information from the stands located at the entrance to the Parks. It was really like being a scout. In writing these lines, I am ashamed that I did so, because I deceived Australia, a country in which all laws are implemented in good faith and for the benefit of the state. I think that in the future, when visiting Australia, I will plan my trip budget taking into account these expenses.
However, do not assume that a ticket to visit the Park is a permit to catch insects. At the entrance to the forest, there is always an inscription under the name of the Park - flora and fauna are protected. This way, you can understand my feelings at the task location. Completely on the rights of a bird, I had to become neither a man nor a beast. Turn into an entomological phantom. Catch insects, listen to the sounds of approaching cars or flying planes at night, and if something happens, turn off the lights and hide the net with lightning speed. These fears psychologically frayed my body. They turned an already difficult operation into an unbearable ordeal. In some places, I didn't even put up the screen, but simply hung the lamp on a suitable twig and stood near the inverter ready to turn it off at any second.
A swinging pendulum always has boundary states. On the one hand, tension, on the other hand, bliss. Being caught is a strain. Located in the middle of the wild - a pleasure and a delight. The transitions of these states release adrenaline, make life conscious and complete, and if everything works out, then you fall in love with Australia with all your heart, despite the meager finds.
Next, photos and comments to them.

This photo, obviously, can not boast of anyone on the forum! Many people were in similar situations, but no one showed the photos to the general public, believing that this would cause joy and ridicule in their address. However, the purpose of the forum is to inform participants about even the worst moments in the travel process.
Pictured is a Yarra Rangers NP, Victoria and Nach ranger.Entomological Special Forces Headquarters ( behind the scenes). A joint search operation for Ambulyx McPhersoni has begun.

If you wonder where there are the most flies in the world, then the answer is only one – Australia. It becomes immediately clear where such a large number and variety of birds come from. But flies are not the most numerous inhabitants of this continent. In the first place, I would put ants, only then flies, then cicadas, crunches, etc.
