Hahaha have to agree with you there. North Queensland is a bit better for flies, but instead you get humid disgusting heat and you can't swim in the ocean. Australia is definitely a harsh country, one reason we have so many venomous animals and reptiles :D

What was your impression of Australia? I couldn't blame you for liking NZ more, they also have brilliant mountain biking so I'll be back for a bike tour eventually. Smaller country with more variety in landscape over shorter distances, and possibly nicer people is my take.
