Living in Australia is an experience on its own. The whole world is completely different to the one I was used to in Europe. Climate is drastically different; one can like it or not... but it is different - a HOT fact. I miss some snow and a bit of cold but I do not miss all the slimy things on the streets when the shit starts melting.
Speaking of difference - The night sky is still completely unknown to me I know Orion (which is upside down here), scorpion, LMC and SMC (Large and Small Magellanic Clouds), but that's about it - and it doesn't help when you work at the observatory during public nights - but I manage to bore people with so much interesting theory and physics behind all these shiny stars or nebulae...
Next, Animals, plants and trees are all on their own physiology, evolution branch and have nothing to do with European ones - and some of them that do are considered pests (like carp for example).
Anyways, I've been just over a year here and I have seen the yellow leaf or maybe a reddish only on one occasion, maybe two but I really can't recall. But I've seen the purple tree immersed in a green scenery around it.... damn life is interesting.
Anyways I was going through some photos and all these laves sparked a bit of nostalgia and realization how different and beautiful the world is.
Stay save and listen to some blues! ;)
If you happen to have available witness votes and searching for a dedicated witness on hive network, consider investigating and eventually casting a vote for crowdwitness.

I've never been to Australia myself but I imagine it would be very different from Europe. Thats interesting that the constellations are all upside down there. I didn't know that
Hehe, yeah :)
everything is upside down, And there is no northern star, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Ursa minor and all the Northern circumpolar(the ones that never set) constellations. They have their own circumpolar constellations The Southern Cross for example.
The one I managed to recognize was a bit strange and upside down and that is Orion, also I've seen Pleiades once but that's it :D hopefully soon I'll be getting into more naked eye observations :)
