i think the main problem is the country in the north is it isn't good for agriculture. there is one big agricultural scheme in the north, the Ord River Scheme, which might be worth finding a video on. but overall Darwin was settled for strategic reasons and while it does have a huge hinterland with important industries like fishing, pearling, gas, mining and cattle it is also dependent on the south for most supplies. One of its biggest industries is defence, for those original strategic reasons. There's an army brigade in Darwin, a US marine brigade-size force on rotation, several RAAF squadrons divided among the two main air bases and a naval base.

Some visionary guy back in the 90's or even earlier, had a plan to "green" the central deserts of Australia. Not sure how now. But I have seen permaculture experiments do quite well with desert like conditions. However, most of the inland area of Oz doesn't have snow melt to help out with potable water; and when it rains there, (as it has, when cyclones make landfall and head west from the Pacific area) it turns into a sea of mud and destruction anyway. Central Qld is a bowl of dust, until it rains...

@@Kayenne54 That was a rehash of the 1930's Bradfield scheme. Divert water from the Tully, Herbert & Burdekin rivers over the Great Divide. The original idea did not account for flat plains west of the divide and the high evaporation rates that would occur. In wet season the Burdekin dam has recorded 1,500 giglitres per day over the spillway. (3x Sydney Harbour) Huge amounts of water. Hell's gate would be a much smaller and cheaper option which would be a good "proof of concept" to demonstrate if Bradfield should be investigated more thoroughly.

However, there are more methods known now to encourage plants which can attract moisture and hold onto the soil (and survive in the dust bowl to begin with).

I visited Nhulunbuy, NT during April, so the rains had finished but the humidity was still unbearable. Night or day the temperature stays the same, ranging from 32degC to 35. The sea looks so inviting, crystal clear, turquoise blue but it is dangerous to even walk close to the shoreline as salt water crocs could be lurking in the water and buffalo can suddenly appear out of nowhere. Box jellyfish, sea snakes, sharks, bluebottles and probably worst of all, because they are virtually transparent so you can't see them, Irukandji are all in abundance.

I lived in Jabiru and Darwin it’s not just hot it’s so humid you just need a month to readjust once you move there. Everywhere is air conditioning to help you, but once you acclimatise it’s a beautiful place to be. But so many crocodiles, so many flies. The wet season is rain rain rain. The dry season is super hot and local indigenous do random burn offs so Smokey. Since I was there the areas I once swam in you probably cannot anymore because the crocodile population has gotten out of control. The heat difference between Darwin versus Alice is amazing… Alice is like living in an oven… it’s crazy hot and so dry. Oh and snakes… so many snakes Plus there are a lot of traditional owned areas that you are not allowed to go to aswell. But wow there are some absolutely stunning country and amazing people up there

That Terraforming map concept is absolutely unfeasible, Lake Eyre is already some considerable metres below sea level, is not relatively far from the present Southern coastline, and there are not any major geographical features with great height between it and the coast, yet Lake Eyre is not even included in this concept map for Terraforming. Once they have finished Terraforming Mars they might want to come back to this as a more advanced and more difficult project.

Australia had an inland sea, branching in from Broome, Northern Western Australia into the centre. I was visiting a rainforest inland a few hundred k's in Queensland.

I've found fossilised shells, beside the highway, from coastal Qld to the interior (near Winton, to be more precise). My personal feeling is that the "inland salt water sea" is actually more recent than we suppose. I also found obsidian, probably dug up and out by roadworks, beside that same road; which indicates a massive volcanic episode in our history. And then we have the Great Artesian Basin, containing mineral water, which emerges so hot it can scald. That is heated by magma, fellas. So for me, there is some interesting stuff going on under western Qld, and in NT and SA, for sure.

Near enough to the coast to take advantage of sea access, but I got the impression it's mostly airborne. Because...China. Pacific Waters. Stuff going on up there. You know.

It contains roughly 15,600 cubic miles of groundwater, which can be brought to the surface under pressure. The water ranges in temperature from warm to boiling, and is the lifeblood of the pastural industry in Qld and NSW.

Geology has to do with the study of rocks and minerals, the composition of the Earth. Not to be confused with geography which is the study of the spatial relationships between humans and their environment eg maps, human interactions with the earth(why we don’t build cities on the top of Mt Everest but do so in lesser altitudes) not what the earth is composed of. BTW in Darwin your straw hat will go mouldy and rot from the sweat from your head, the elastic in your underpants deteriorates after six-12 months, the pages of your books stick together from the sweat from your fingers and the humidity. The pool goes green overnight. Wonderful place, not to mention the cyclones and crocs. I have lived there. There’s two seasons, the dry and the wet. The wet season is not funny at all.

The rainfall is huge. After the last cyclone Cairns was recording close to a metre a day for a few days after the event.

6:30 there has been a plan to irrigate the centre of Australia but with FRESH water, from the Eastern rivers in Queensland/NSW.. Called the Bradford Scheme (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradfield_Scheme) Doing the one on the vid would be sea water, and not very useful, apart from commerce. 8:50 those towns under the sea are all where the opal mining is.. The inland sea a million or so years ago formed the opal fields.

The northern territories of Australia is also largely indigenous nations. And yes, you can't just go to the beach in Darwin. Basically anything north of the tropic of capricorn you're sharing water with Crocodiles.

That was a pretty old coverage map. 5G is dotted all over the place now. Still not solid in colour like the 4G though, except in the capitals.

Lake Eyre is still in almost the middle of South Australia and at times it apparently does get water into it. Maybe the inland sea does make sense. Also about 20 klms North of Canberra driving towards Goulburn along the Federal Highway is Lake George. Approximately every 7-10 years it fills up almost to the Highway and a few years later it dries right out. Apparently some type of underground Spring? Not sure. I have driven past it many times over the years and have seen it Dry and Full. Nature at its craziest.

Tassie parted company with the mainland at the end of the last Ice Age, so about 11,000 years ago. And beaches up north, apart from the wildlife, have huge tide changes. Go at low tide and the ocean is a very long way away.

The surface may be dry but we have the "Artesian Basin" that holds more than enough underground water to sustain us beyond the foreseeable future.

It is not strictly true that the further North you go in Australia the hotter it gets, but it does stay warmer for more months of the year. In the far North it does tend to become more humid which in some ways prevents it from becoming hotter. Marble Bar, Alice Springs, Kunnanarra and Mount Isa have higher maximum daytime temperatures than Darwin, Townsville, Broome, Derby or Wyndam. But the high humidity is generally no less pleasant and just as dangerous at higher temperatures than the dry heat of further South. People or pets unfamiliar with either environment can die of the heat, either dry or humid, within just a few hours if caught unprepared and out in the open, or even under shade.

You can swim in Sydney or other beaches but you just have to be careful of jelly fish or baby great whites.because they break through the barriers of the sea nets that we put down for protection.You might as well pee on someone before they get stung from box jelly fish for real this isn’t a joke guys.😢

The netted area at my local beach in Cairns has been breached by small crocs a couple of times over the last few years. A small price to pay to keep out some of the stingers. A brush with those has been described as the worst pain ever, that can linger for years.

Northern Australian soil has next to no nutrients in it so can’t sustain normal crops. This is because of monsoons leeching the soil for 7 months per year. You could grow coconuts and mangoes lol

8:35 That area is around Lake Eyre. It's very low lying country. In fact, the lakes that make up that area are around 15 metres (50 feet) below sea level.
