Yep, the great man was on in my time of need.
I'm here today to talk to you about the subject of bushwalking. First of all, I'd like to ask you a question. If you had the option of going to the beach, spending times with friends, playing a sport or going bushwalking, which would you choose? Whatever your answer may be, I highly doubt that it would be bushwalking.
Why would people feel the need to go bushwalking? It may be exciting for the first couple of minutes - but an hour in, with a heavy pack and your feet turning to lead, it may not seem such a good idea - particularly after the initial thrill of the scenery wears off. Then, you go home tired, dirty, sore and frustrated.
Then, for the rest of the night, and days after, you’ll be scratching the mosquito bites and removing leeches and ticks from your body. And for what? To see a few trees and bushes? Exercise? The reality is, you could burn off far more energy and increase your fitness levels much faster by playing a sport.
Not to mention, the risks of being seriously injured or killed. Face the facts, the Australian bush is extremely dangerous. We have the most dangerous range of snakes in the world, not to mention loads of species of spiders that can put you in a hospital bed or grave. In January, a 17 year old girl died while bushwalking in Western Australia.
Basically the first 3 paragraphs were Blakes, but I've did some minor editing. Got a bit more to do, then I should get that around 3 mins.
