Subject: RE: BS: Jungle People - Reality TV show (UK)
It's not Jungle!!!
It's just a little bit of Aussie sub-tropical rain-forest (not even REAL Tropical Rain-forest!), chosen because it's not far out of a small town (with a decent road to get all the heavy equipment in and out!) in coastal NSW. In fact normal Aussies regularly go bush-walking though such terrain for fun and relaxation....
Now for REAL jungle, they should have gone to North Queensland, or maybe even the Northern Territory.
There's bits up there in the NT that the Japanese are alleged to have dropped a bunch of paratroopers or SEAL-type guys during WWII in amongst the crocodiles, and they were never heard of again.... in fact the Allies didn't even know that the Japs had done it, and they thought we had caught them, and wanted them back...
