DESERT.

THATS STUPID WHY NOT MAKE AN OCEAN IN SPACE? MORON
Easton Stewart
It doesn't rain a lot in there. There is vegetation, which is mostly suited to high salinity, low rainfall, and no water table.
If forest was inclined to grow in there, it would have moved in on its own over many thousands of years.
Hunter White
The Great Dividing Range makes that impossible. Read up on it mate, then it'll make a lot of sense to you.
James Powell
If we grew that much wood the coal would be worth less.
Asher Foster
Wood is no substitute for coal, cobber.
Jeremiah Lopez
It wasn't always a desert, though?
I thought the desert climate (extreme high temperatures, low humidity, no precipitations, etc) came to be after the indigenous people burned the forests down. Is that not the case?
If it is (I might be wrong), you might regain nice temperatures and rain once you regrow forests.
Robert Collins
I'll look into it, thanks.
Jose Moore
Didnt they donate their trees to california? I think it was a good choice for australia since the trees catch on fire all the time
Logan Gonzalez
SINCE WHEN YOU STUPID FAGGOT. IF YOU CANT POINT WHEN THEN YOU CANT, GO BACK.

Carter Thompson
Why do you think it was forested to being with?
Dominic Morris
>after the indigenous people burned the forests down. Is that not the case?
I don't think so. Forest fires occur regularly in vegetated regions, and a lot of our flora actually requires fire to germinate. The logistics of burning the entire country before it has a chance to regrow, with only a few hundred thousand people, is just nonsensical to me.
Brandon Thompson
We've been working on this a very long time, it's not easy. Also, the highlands West of the salt lakes have always been deserts. It's a large tableland that used to be much further south, it'll never stop being a desert.
Daniel Long
No.
Australia isn't Spain. It was already ruined before the brown people got there.
Samuel Cruz
Trees need water Spaniard.
Can't grow tree if there no water.
>inb4 pump water onto the land
Evaporation rate is too high making it very costly. Salinity of the land itself is also an issue, a body of water will quickly evaporate leaving behind salts, creating salty land which is no good for anything.
If you wanted to turn Australia into a lush forest you would need to create a lot of water very quickly before it evaporates.
Henry Harris
weird its common belief in the US that aborigines burned down your forests hunting emus
Owen Martin
Suez/Panama inspired canal down into the red centre, creating inland rain?
That's weird. Just throw a stick at their neck.
Landon Reyes
When the abos arrived it wasn't all desert. But that was fucking ages ago, and it's their fault it's like it is now. They burnt Australia's rainforests to near-extinction.
John Evans
Lol just dig some irrigation ditches cunt
Julian Edwards
Very quick google search:
>As part of a wider study of the climate history of the northwest Australian monsoon region, funded in part by Kimberley Foundation Australia, we posed the direct question: “Did Aboriginal vegetation burning practices impact on the function of the northwest Australian summer monsoon?”
>We showed that the climate responded significantly to reduced vegetation cover in the pre-monsoon season. We found decreases in rainfall, higher surface and ground temperatures and enhanced atmospheric stability. In other words, there was a decline in the strength of the early monsoon “phase”.
>The results of the experiment lead us to suggest that by burning forests in northwestern Australia, Aboriginals altered the local climate. They effectively extended the dry season and delayed the start of the monsoon season.
Henry Garcia
Just read your own article man
'LIVESTOCK is the only management tool available to stop the increasing desertification associated with climate change, according to a grazing management pioneer.
More than 200 people attended a Designing Resilient Farming Systems conference last Friday to hear Savory Institute and Africa Centre for Holistic Management (ACHM) president Allan Savory's assessment about the cause of environmental degradation.
Mr Savory said even though his assessment was unpopular and contradicted conventionally accepted scientific knowledge, history showed human management of livestock was at fault.'
might you not think that an article by a magazine for farmers, presumably by farmers, might have a bias towards farming?
Bentley James
>That's weird. Just throw a stick at their neck.
If that's all I takes why didn't you cunts do that during your war?
Joseph Gonzalez
No worries mate. It's a long strip of hills that runs along the east coast. They're tall enough to stop moisture from the sea going inland. Therefore everything on the east is lush and green, all everything on the Western side is arid.
Aiden Collins
Gatling guns don't fire sticks you fucking drongo.
Lucas Hill
This bird spreads fire. I think it lives in australia too. So it might be these birds burning shit down. I like this bird. Its a bane bird. “The fire rises”.
Logan Peterson

People talked about it like a hundred years ago, but no one has the balls to do it today.
Owen Hall
Hang on, more evidence
You basically use cows to shit grass seeds and fertiliser everywhere.
Liam Myers
gee like everybody fuckign knows about that
to me australia was and always is a fucking desert. depends on what part your talking about but
to me it still no matter where yoru writing your bullshit fantasy propoganda from is a fuckign desert
Alexander Butler
Wasn't there a plan to build a gigantic mountain in the middle of Australia so it would trap the clouds and turn the continent into a rainforest?
i know i read about this somewhere
Hunter Sullivan
is it a large bird?
Blake Sanders
>build a gigantic mountain
Digging a canal would be easier. Whence comes the mountain?
John Lee
>drongo
That's a great fucking word, sorry m8 but I'm going to have to culturally appropriate that one.
Gavin Hughes
>with what water?
Jordan Mitchell
Perth already uses desalination plants. Very high energy requirements and not enough volume to irrigate billions of hectares.
Henry Brooks
Obviously a no-stick faghet
Ethan Long
go for it, I stole hoser, mickey and toque
Leo Gomez
>Why doesn't Australia reforest its land?
we gave a lot of the land back to aboriginals, for some reason, so they can do funny dances on it.
Carter Robinson
how about this
Ryan Wood
Slip some sterilization drugs into some beer and sit back for a generation then, yeah you fucked up, but time heals all wounds. Dead niggers too.
Justin Smith
I'll allow it.
Eli Morales
Nobody actually says hoser except in reference to Bob and Doug.
I'm drinking a mickey and a six pack right now so all good there. No lie I just took 4 fucking touques out of my tool box at work because I couldn't close the lid...it's summer here.

>Fire-stick farming was the practice of Indigenous Australians who regularly used fire to burn vegetation to facilitate hunting and to change the composition of plant and animal species in an area. Fire-stick farming had the long-term effect of turning dry forest into savannah

lul it's winter here and I still haven't needed one yet hey
Jordan Ortiz
how about this
Matthew Torres
It was always a desert
Most of australia's desert has 0 nutrients in the soil. It's not even about water, water comes if you plant enough trees. You can't plant trees with 0 nutrient soil that has never hosted life.
Elijah Stewart
Australia is not real
Jeremiah Parker
they are literally obliterating regions of their soil already through salinity from irrigation, some books project much of the farmland will be utterly useless in a few generations
Liam Gray
Would completely destroy the weather for the US and Europe. Australia would probably still be a desert (just a bit colder) as well as Europe and US.
Josiah Campbell
leave denmark alone evil maoriman
Nolan Foster
All suitable species of trees wer wiped out the Aboriginals with their millennium of forest burning.
Oliver Howard
>it's winter here and I still haven't needed one yet
We use them here all right but everyone gives you touques. Buy beer? Here's a touque.
Company uniforms? Here's a touque.
Union guy comes around? Here's a touque. It's fucking ridiculous, I could insulate a house with the ones I have.
Lincoln Morgan
Aren't Australian trees massive fire hazards as they mature? Which is exactly why California is so fugged with all those woods filled with imported trees.
Tyler King
>Why doesn't Australia reforest its land?
You need Germans for that, search it up.
Wyatt Campbell
>putting Australia between the USA and nigger ground zero
I don’t think so.
Elijah Ortiz
because the abbos will just burn down thousands of acres to get maybe 1 roo and some wichedi grubs.
Ethan Rodriguez
Just a prank bro.
Adrian Sullivan
Better question, why don't we just turn the whole desert into a huge gay sauna? We get all countries to finance it, it can have theme rooms, restraints, just 100 square kilometers of gay facilities. No condoms.
Australia: The gay capital of the entire world.
Elijah Rivera
Australia is a desert because of the mountains along the eastern coast which block the rain clouds which travel westwards. Wetter continents like America have mountains on the western coast.
Nothing to do with boongs and their incompetence.

Certainly uncommon.
Jackson Ramirez
Hard to grow. Unsurprising considering they're adapted for the Cretaceous.
James Howard
alright lads how about this
Andrew Hill
Why did you expel us? :(
Dylan Nguyen
The native Australians would just grind up all the trees to make Vegemite or they would huff all the small animals to get their hallucination inducing vb fumes.
Nolan Mitchell
no particular reason, i just through it would be funny
Landon Lewis
Argentina could probably stay.
Ryan Rodriguez

Aussies don't even have proper roads, there are just a few paved roads across the country, rest is deadly dirty roads.
they barely have train tracks and generally suck ass
australia is a turd world country with shit-tier infrastructure.
all the wealth is concentrated in large paki infested cities and a few habitable stretches of shore, while the majority of the populace has to rely on air drops coz india--tier infrastructure
fucking shit tier overrated non-country

We will when global warming happens and the seas rise, we get an inland sea which which should make things easier.

There's different types of coal. Coking coal is what we need for steel production. Canada has lots, I don't know what kind you have.
Jose Lee
Put us on top of Canada instead.
Dominic Parker
Was there even a forest there
Nicholas Cook
Some reason ive thought about moving into the desert in Australia and micro terraforming it. Imagine though, like in the U.S. we have pipes running oil all over the country. How about we run pipes from the ocean of Desalinated water through parts of this desert.
Jaxson Reed

>Put us on top of Canada instead.
Fuck that, you should be the new mexico. Ozzy's can't handle the cold. After a few weeks on the ski hills you're fucked. Jacuzzis and bars aren't real cold.
