You're the first person I've seen on the various fuck cars communities I see to actually acknowledge rural areas exist, good job. We can't all just walk everywhere.
Yeah one of the reasons I brought up Sydney is because there's an entire massive rural area of Australia with people living in practically the middle of nowhere.
Which is why they have their infamous truck trains that drive for days just to transport supplies around.
But when you hit the city, the landscape instantly changes. It's almost cool going from seeing outback trucks to JDM wrx and evos everywhere, lol. I assume it's because only gear heads and enthusiasts keep cars around because they have metro, busses, and a water ferry that takes you around.
