Once a year, me and my siblings decide 

to visit one country, that we particularly 

admire. This year, my brother chose 

Australia, a dry arid continent which is on 

the other side of the world. My brother 

said that Australia has a unique species 

of animals, plants and an interesting 

climate making it very peculiar and 

special.

The plane ride to Australia was fairly 

long as it is located between the South 

Pacific and Indian Ocean, in the 

Southern hemisphere. When we arrived, 

it was mid summer and we could feel the 

scorching sun against our backs.

Did you Know- Australia is the sixth 

largest country in the world

Its been one day since our stay and 

there are so many things to do. 

Australia is so big, and my brother 

told me it was bigger than many other 

countries such as India and New-

Zealand. We've visited several beaches 

and iconic area's such as the Harbour 

bridge or the Opera house.

Did you know- 

The Opera house cost $102 million dollars 

to build.

Today my brother took me to some of 

Australia's largest landforms, one of which was 

the Great Diving range. The landforms in 

Australia are very unique as they have formed 

over millions of years. Some the interesting 

landforms are Uluru, The Great Barrier reef, 

The bungle bungle and the three sisters, all of 

which we visited. 

 Did you know

Uluru is the aboriginal term for Ayers 

Rock

The aboriginal history behind Australia is very 

fascinating. The land is very important to the 

indigenous people and the dream time stories 

are particularly interesting.   The land means 

ownership to the aboriginal people and is 

something they value very closely.

Did you know

The aboriginals believe that a long time ago, 

their ancestors used to fight, and because of 

the battles, lakes, rivers, hills and mountains 

began to form

There are SO many things to do in 

Australia, and so many interesting places. 

Some of my favourite were the coastal 

beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, Taronga 

Zoo and the twelve apostles. 

Did you Know

The great Barrier reef is the worlds largest 

reef system.

Its been a whole week since we arrived and the 

climate is getting hotter. Unlike other countries, 

the season's are very different according to each 

month, with Christmas being very hot. The 

northern part of Australia is much hotter, as this is 

where the outbacks lie. Whilst the southern parts 

are much cooler with a continuous breeze coming 

from Antarctica.

Did you Know

Australia is closer to the equator than any 

part of the USA.
