Att El Vencejo,
Yes we have very high mountains closer to us than the European hills, They are tho innacessible as we would have to cross the sea to get to them in northern India/Nepal
. Perth itself has several very high seamounts not too far off shore, and some rocks called the Stirling Ranges down south. We also have the Darling Ranges approx 30 klm from Perth which rise to a lofty 300 meters. Other than that its rather pretty flat.
The sunny Riviera like beaches here make up for lack of curves with curves of a different kind.
Att GC , I know what you mean ,I used rule "1.5lb ball pien hammer to forehead" method before setting off on the outfit. I would occaisionally reapply treatment when on longer trips.
PS I have also owned a series 3 (88) and RR I should have stopped the hammer treatment much earlier.
