Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
You're viewing a single thread.
Let's say there was a brand new Earth, uninhabited by humans, and you were to be placed in one location of your choosing. You have one backpack of survival gear. Where would you choose to be placed and why?
Bonus question: would you do it if offered today?
Somewhere tropical so I can fish and there's no irritating pollens. I would need about a week to pack.
Oddly enough, I think I'd choose Melbourne - before the ecosystem was ruined in the 19th century it was quite a nice place to live off the land. Very productive. Good water. Lots of yam daisies and koalas to eat and fish and things. Rich in natural resources like clay and wood. Good stone for tools not far away. Pack would have to include a puffer jacket to last until I'd eaten enough possums to make me a possum skin cloak.
Would not accept offer for today.I don’t believe koala is pleasant. Skippy ion the other hand…
Picking Melbourne out of any other geographical location on earth is certainly a choice...
nile, fertile crescent, it being where civilization started it should be quite habitable. Absolutely not i want my soft bed, clean tap water, and hot shower water
Wherever has the tastiest, least scary animals and doesn't get freezing cold over winter.
And nope. I'm not built for that survival life.
somewhere with room service.
southern France
I would only do it if I weren't alone
Decent answers. I think I'd choose southern coastal Italy. Nice weather, good fishing, probably some friendly cows to eat idk.
Id also go immediately.
