Australia is not that bad...this slice of heaven belongs there

mapam · 1 day

Hill Inlet on Whitsunday Island. I've been there and can confirm that it is as beautiful IRL as it is on pictures.

Never have I wanted to eat a continent so bad. This looks strangely delicious.

Somewhere, lurking in the beautiful, serene setting, are 17 different animals that want to kill you.

Why did you put 'Australia is not that bad' in the title? Pretty much everyone I know regards Australia as not only a dream holiday destination but also somewhere they would like to live in the future. Everyone I know that has been to Australia loved it.

I've had this image in my wallpapers folder for a while. Guess I finally know where it came from!

Hill inlet and Whitehaven beach (rated #2 in the world), in the Whitsunday Islands of Queensland. Proposed to my fiancee there.

See that meandering river? That was once the path of a snake.

yernyoonan · 2012-10-22T08:05:44+00:00

No, Slice of Heaven is a Kiwi song. Next door.

karimpt · 2012-10-22T12:08:30+00:00

what are you talking about? Australia is beautiful!!

it's just that the spiders,lizards,sharks, serpents, crocodiles scare the sh!t out of me...

but i like the kangaroos, Kangaroos are cool! and people there look healthy and happy too!!

Devvils · 2012-10-22T08:07:38+00:00

The deadliest river in the world, mate.

Tbh I really, really want to go to Australia. I'd really just like to get out of the Midwest US for a while, but my friend went in 3rd grade and I've wanted to go ever since. Maybe once I've finished school. :/

John_Johnson · 1 day

Yesss, yess... see the pretty pretty river! Never mind those things in the water, oh no. They're just... fishies. Pretty fishies, yes! Those noises in the jungle? Not spiders, no! Spiders cannot sing like that, oh no. Those are birdies, yes, featherless birdies with... extra legs and eyes...

...wait. Where are you going?

Come back! They're still huunggryyy!

Australia has so many waves its ridick

Mercury1600 · 2012-10-22T07:02:34+00:00

I sailed around the whitsundays for 2 weeks and visited white haven.(pictured) It was the single greatest holiday i have been on. Those channels were crawling with Sting rays!

FlippingKids · 2012-10-22T07:16:57+00:00

Whoever said it was bad? Dangerous doesn't mean bad!

red13 · 2012-10-22T07:36:41+00:00

Here's the same shot in a wider view and higher resolution (it does have a bing logo stamped on it though).

AnthonySlips · 2012-10-22T08:26:21+00:00

Who says Australia is bad?

jacobtaylor1987 · 2012-10-22T10:52:50+00:00

Poor choice of words. 'Slice of Heaven' is a New Zealand song.

Echelon64 · 2012-10-22T12:40:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure one of those Mountains(?) is in fact a giant spider.

waynehell · 2012-10-22T12:50:55+00:00

if you wonder why you can't see anyone enjoying this "slice of heaven", that's because they have all been eaten by the giant space squids

vec2424 · 2012-10-22T12:56:23+00:00

But you still have to worry about the football sized Mosquitos, alligators, sharks and deadly butterflies

Le_Canadien25 · 2012-10-22T13:01:23+00:00

That nice stream is probably full of Bull Sharks :(

Mangalf · 2012-10-22T13:02:59+00:00

That white stuff? Spider eggs.

"It's not that bad." Well, no, not from a helicopter. Just don't fly to low or some mutant crocospider will probably jump up and bite off the tail rotor or something.

robothouserock · 1 day

I've never been to Australia, but I've seen a lot of pictures containing Amazonian sized insects and arachnids hailing from Australia... sorry, can't do it :P

cdeacious · 2012-10-22T09:30:37+00:00

Thats actually sulfuric acid that will kill you the moment you touch the water. Nice try Aussie.

Phillile · 2012-10-22T10:20:42+00:00

Everything in that image is made of poison.

entroph · 2012-10-22T11:24:57+00:00

This is a very beautiful picture. However, what you can't see is that those trees are full of deadly spiders and killer koalas, not to mention the water populated by deadly jellyfish and sharks!

battlejack · 2012-10-22T11:43:09+00:00

there are 437 ways to die in this picture

rob-cubed · 1 day

It's beautiful, but hidden in those trees are spiders as big as my hand that like to hide in shoes and attach themselves Alien-style to the nearest face.

OK, maybe that's hyperbole. Pretty sure they just hiss at you when you raise the toilet lid.

garoodah · 1 day

I don't care whats waiting in that jungle, it still looks beautiful.

fal86 · 2012-10-22T07:43:35+00:00

I live about 4 hours away from whitehaven. I really should visit more.

CARVERitUP · 2012-10-22T07:55:40+00:00

Well those are some sexy looking sand deposits and meanders.

Level_32_Mage · 2012-10-22T08:16:26+00:00

That looks like it would drown the hell out of me.

Lovinkindness · 2012-10-22T08:17:24+00:00

My favorite place in all the world.

Patsby · 2012-10-22T08:19:11+00:00

proud to call home

Heagram · 2012-10-22T08:28:11+00:00

and in this slice of heaven there are ~5782 species that can kill an adult in under a minute

DEATHFIGHT · 2012-10-22T08:29:55+00:00

9 tonnes of that sand "pure silica" was used in the manufacture of the Hubble space telescope ..........at least that's what our tour guide said

I_Love_Ford_Raptors · 2012-10-22T08:32:19+00:00

You just made my new background. Thank you :)

vishalp0826 · 2012-10-22T08:33:10+00:00

I wanna go there so bad!

Foley1 · 2012-10-22T08:49:31+00:00

So heaven is in fact straight down from me. huh.

Phobicity · 2012-10-22T09:00:32+00:00

The white part kinda looks like a bird or a dolphin upside down

followthedarkrabbit · 2012-10-22T09:01:10+00:00

My lecturer uses this shot all the time for his slides. White haven beach?

EvoEpitaph · 2012-10-22T09:24:47+00:00

My only problem with Australia(and it's not really Aus's fault) is that all my games only have English servers in the USA.

Someone needs to make data travel faster than light already :/

Oh but I guess the prices on games and tech is kind of ridiculous too.

Rocket202328 · 2012-10-22T09:33:44+00:00

Check out XXXX island, an island owned by an awesome beer company, not sure how to post a link just yet.

Snigaty · 2012-10-22T09:38:51+00:00

Not bad?? Best country ever mate! ;)

900fool · 2012-10-22T09:41:37+00:00

At this distance you can't see the salt water crocodiles, the bull sharks, and the vampire koalas!!

LookAtLeo · 2012-10-22T09:42:28+00:00

I love the Whitsundays, my aunt lives there.

jamested · 2012-10-22T09:45:09+00:00

I'm from England. I spent some time in Australia a few years ago. Even though i got stung by a jellyfish, I still fucking love the place. It's worth the risk.

Grommett · 2012-10-22T09:47:19+00:00

So I visited there when I was about 17, Was enjoying a swim until I saw some scary ass jellyfish. Hopped out and dried off, Got attacked by flies that left marks for weeks, Had my bag covered in sand so I never found it, Then just as I was getting on the dingy (tiny "boat") I got sand in my eye and had it there until I got back to the yacht that my mum owned and washed it out.

As an Aussie, I can say Fuck Whitehaven beach.

TheRobLangford · 2012-10-22T09:59:10+00:00

Been to Hamilton island in November last year. Beautiful place. Spent a year travelling round Aus and have some amazing memories, loved it that much I got a sponsored IT job and I'm here for two years :) TBH probably going to apply for permanent residency.

For all the 'Everything can kill you' commentors, I've swam, snorkeled, dived, surfed and kite surfed all around this great land. I've encountered sharks, snakes, spiders, jelly fish and all kinds of lizards. I have all of my digits and appendages intact :)

ace_gauntlit · 2012-10-22T10:01:44+00:00

I agreed with you but then I thought about all the spiders, snakes and man-eating jellyfish lurking everywhere

heodieat · 2012-10-22T10:17:56+00:00

Dat silt.

conairh · 2012-10-22T10:24:09+00:00

It's great until a cashed up bogan rolls up in his ute knocking back fistfuls of bundy and shouting "STRAYA CUNTS! FUCKEN BULLSHIT FAGGOT BOAT CUNTS STEALIN ME FUCKEN DOLE JOBS!"

overkil6 · 2012-10-22T10:26:49+00:00

Being in the sky is the only safe place in Australia...

NibrocNZ · 2012-10-22T10:30:32+00:00

While visiting Queensland my family flew over Whitehaven beach in a helicopter. It is beautiful, but to add to Australia's Reputation: you could see about 500 stingrays in the shallows from above.

Wolfosaurus · 2012-10-22T10:40:18+00:00

Australia is a shit hole. There's sunshine and nice people everywhere. Fucking cunts.

chan8330 · 2012-10-22T10:50:08+00:00

When i lived on Hamilton Island i would Kite surf this most weekends. Hill Inlet at the end of White Haven Beach :) favourite place on earth

Miniappolis · 2012-10-22T10:53:24+00:00

On another note, we don't ride in kangaroo pouches

cucumbercat7 · 2012-10-22T11:02:35+00:00

Sir_Smashing · 2012-10-22T11:24:46+00:00

Whitesundays? I want to go skydiving there soo bad!

joeynana · 2012-10-22T11:27:36+00:00

Whitehaven Beach... One Australia's most photographed beaches.

Donkey-boner · 2012-10-22T11:39:45+00:00

I will have a guess this is hill inlet and whitehaven? It looks really familiar

Jake_From_State-Farm · 2012-10-22T11:43:42+00:00

That is one fucked up pizza cutter..

live3orfry · 2012-10-22T12:29:59+00:00

I flew over that in a Cessna 172 at about that same altitude. I even have the picture I took somewhere. brb

PattyChuck · 2012-10-22T13:25:05+00:00

If this is Australia, there are at least 742 things that can kill you in this photograph. Don't be fooled, Reddit!!

BaltimoreBob · 2012-10-22T13:29:34+00:00

I skydived for the first time right over this! By far my favorite part of Australia

voyyful · 2012-10-22T13:37:05+00:00

Looks like white haven beach?

sookmahdook · 2012-10-22T13:45:40+00:00

yes, but how many things on said island can kill you just by looking at you?

ignoramus012 · 2012-10-22T13:46:06+00:00

Behind the camera are thousands of poisonous spiders.

infaereld · 2012-10-22T14:03:18+00:00

Box jellyfish, Conus Shells, Blue-Ringed Octopus, Stonefish, Sharks, Sea Snakes, Salt water crocodiles.

Gotta love the Aussie tropics!
