I live in Australia and the natural scenery is just so dull and uninteresting, the landscapes are grayish-green. The trees all look burnt out and so does the wilderness, it's all just really arid and dry? I see the US/Canada and Europe and they look so beautiful in comparison, strong varieties of trees, bushes and different colours as opposed to Oz. Australia looks dead in comparison, there is nothing here like Vermont, Oregon, Alaska, The Rockies or the Scandinavian countries(European Alps). The weather also is horrible with intense, deadly heat and large-scale bushfires all summer.

Do you really live in Australia? Not many people I've ever met have described Australia as "Green" even if its "greyish-green". Try brown, as in the "wide brown land" of Dorothea Mackellar's famous poem, or the red, deep ochre red of the centre and top end.

Because of geological forces that are tens of millions years old.

Anyway beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Tasmania is one of my favourite places in the world, beautiful, relatively unspoilt scenery:
