I observed not long after arriving in Austria that their environmental aesthetic involves a lot more natural materials and colours compared to Australia. There are noticibly less bright gareish colours and the use of plastic. It's very wonderful and soothing on the eye and mind. Also the equipment is more physically challenging and sometimes (by Nanny State standards) dangerous which actually serves to teach kids to be cautious. There is also less rubbish blowing around and even though it seems every second person has a dog very little dog poo to dodge. All very impressive and livable :)
