Interesting, as an Australian, I would say the culture here is almost the opposite. Of course, the famous national parks will be heavily visited, often by international or interstate tourists, but exploring lesser known and further flung parks is part of the culture of "going bush".

I have been amazed to go to places so remote I would not expect to see a living soul over a week only to find 2-3 4WDs already nestled in between the trees.
