alt Hacker NewsI can criticise Australian urban planning for days ... but many visitors to Australia do effuse about how much outdoor recreational space we have and plan for.

AU Aintree North Recreation Reserve : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5vYNG2eL9g
Skate parks, woops, river and coastal setbacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfLa32K74Zw
