You don't need your hands for hiking! lol...I'll try to be gentle! Yup, it takes a while to explore it all, probably why I haven't left Canada yet, I always end up in the mountains. To be fair as a kid that's where I dreamed of visiting, the Rockies. I live close-ish for now but I want to retire there with a big ol mountain in my backyard.
Tazmania looks so amazing. Plus you guys have a completely different set of wildlife than we have, just that alone I would be so thrilled to experience and learn. Those kangaroos just look so hug-able, like a dear on springs! I generally work during september to november (seasonal worker, I only work spring and fall) but I would be able to see the lavender fields in december and get away from the cold for a little while at some point.
