Ryan I would have to say Australia mate. You have beautiful Queensland, my home state, you have the beaches and beauties of the Sunshine and Gold Coast areas as well as the heritage listed Diantree Forest and some of the finest timbers that Queensland has to offer. You have Victoria down south where your Red and Brown Mallee come from, and some of the best scenery along the Great Ocean Road. In Tasmanian where you have some of Australia's oldest growth forests, home of giant Huon Pines, Tasmanian Blackwood, Myrtle and Blackheart Sassafras just to name a few. From Kakadu in the Northern Territory in the top end to the harshness of Alice Springs and Ayres Rock out west to the lush forests of the Eastern Coast from Queensland down to Tasmania, Ryan you can't go past Australia.
All I can say is that to stand in a Tasmanian rainforest in front of a Huon Pine that is over 600yrs old and to smell the crisp fresh air and listen to the silence, man there is nothing like it. The silence encompasses you, and I was just in awe and honoured that I was allowed the opportunity to be in it's presence. May sound silly but untill you do it I guess it is a hard thing to explain. As I said honoured, humble and lucky. Ryan come to Australia mate you will never regret it.
