My wife worked for almost a year with an Australian Aboriginal community about 300 miles from the cost. (she was the only white person there)
At one point she tried to explain what the sea is like to the kids there. The only water they have seen is from seasonal rivers and the various wells. The kids could not really understand the idea of "sea". A small group from a nearby community came over to Melbourne recently for a visit. You should have seen their faces when taken down to the beach.

And ,BTW , as pointed out in previous threads, for backpackers (not hunters...) an extra pound of down works a lot better than a 3 pound stove that needs to be fed at all times.
