Australia has almost everything wrong you can think of climate-wise: cold Antarctic currents hitting the west coast causing dry winds with little moisture, on the east coast there's a narrow strip between the coast and the long N-S mountains that gets moisture, but even then the mountains are barely high enough to trap winds and cause rainfall. The very north gets monsoons, the inland is a baking desert and only the very south is temperate.

If you want an idea of scale, there's a single cattle farm in Australia operated by less than a dozen people that is larger than Texas.

Anna Creek is 23,677 km2 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Creek_Station and 15,746 square kilometres according to https://www.williamscattlecompany.com.au/anna-creek .

Texas is rather larger than Anna Creek, at 676,587 km2 of land according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas .

Australia is basically Hot Canada.

Except that Canada is just cold while Australia has the whole evolutionary arms race thing going on.

Australia: Our brother to the hot south with more sex appeal and far less marriage material.

I was just quoted a stat that said boomer retirees have sex way more frequently than any of their younger cohorts. So weird and depressing if true.

Maybe single people are less likely to retire

Travelling there it felt like Big California.
