This is like an illustrated version of every guided tour I ever took when on vacation in Australia. "This is the bay where a shark came and ate the vicar's daughter... this is the part of the nature trail where three hikers died in a flash flood... this is the type of tree that's a favorite haunt of the youregonnadie…
