My holidays in Australia

[myholidaysinaustralia]

On the first days of my trip in Australia, I visited Fraser Island by 4x4. Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island. The sand is so white and the sea so blue.The sun was with me, even the temperature 32°. FYI, Fraser Island stretches over 123 kilometres in length and 22 kilometres at its widest point. With an area of 184 000 hectares it is the largest sand island in the world. It shocked me her ancient rainforests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing, crystal-clear creeks. When I walked on the beach, I spotted some dingoes on the white sand, it’s very stunning and gorgeous. Fraser Island is a place of exceptional beauty.

I went to Queensland. More exactly in Daintree Rainforest. The forest is located in Cairns northern, and the forest shelter many animal species. I saw full of strange animals that I had never seen. FYI, at around 1200km² the Daintreeis the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australia continent. We can describe this forest as a marvellous and full of surprises thing.The landscape is one striking diversity including magnificent scenery, fast flowind, mountain ranges, streams and waterfalls, deep gorges and dense rainforest. I think it’s necessary to see it to believe it. I think all the time that it’s a dream. It’s an indescribable country.GRIN

I was in Sydney to visit the Australian Museum. The Aboriginal Gallery was one of many expositions and it really does affect me and I learned a lot. I attended the talk about the forgotten Australian and Stolen Generations, I have realised that shamefully I didn't know their history. Among the first European settlers who lived together in small towns, they were British prisoners. The British used to send prisoners all the way to Australia from the year 1788-1868. Australia was used as a prison colony at that time. TMI, London was overcrowded and crimes were common, so transporting them to Australia was a really clever idea. Transportation was a common punishment handed out for both serious and petty crimes. About 60 thousand convicts were transported to British colonies in North America, and around 162 thousand were transported to Australia. Many Aboriginals weren’t considered to  be human beings until in 1967. I also learned that racism has lasted for a long time in Australia. Such as, when soldiers returned to Australia from fighting in WW1, the whites received land and money for their efforts, while the Aboriginal men received nothing since they weren’t considered Australian citizens. Many paintings of aboriginals remained.They are beautiful and expresses many feelings, gr8.

I visited the red center,  Uluru. Uluru is also called Ayer’s Rock. It is a sacred place, it represent the essence of their society, culture, tradition and spirituality.OMG, I learned amazing things, Uluru rises 348 metres above the plain, more than 860 metres above sea level. That's higher than the Eiffel Tower or the Chrysler Building in NY. I also learned that aboriginal people have lived and managed this country for thousands upon thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows Aboriginal people have lived in Central Australia for at least 30,000 years.This enormous rock in the middle of the desert is very impressive and dramatic. Two amazing days.

I heard a boat going to an island in the South of Adelaide. Locals advised me to approach many animals, especially kangaroos. Incidentally, this island is called  Kangaroo Island. It’s the third largest island of Australia. The kangaroo is really a stunning animal, they have a large tail and they are very muscular. On this island, there are other animals like Echidna, Koala  and Sea lion.I wanted to bring an animal at home, they were cute.Isaac Boder said "There really aren't enough adjectives to accurately describe the beauty of Kangaroo Island. In fact, words can almost spoil the moment. Even photos don't do this wildly gorgeous destination justice" it's the right words.

I saw the most beautiful things in my life, I visited  Karijini National Park. This superb park is located in northern  Werstern State of  Australia. The spectacular landscape of natural pool and waterfall in impressive gorges. I don’t have enough words to describe these beautiful and gorgeous views. Centred on the Hamersley Range, Karijini boasts rugged landscape, stunning gorges, and breathtaking waterfalls. Kl, very kl !!!

I reach the end of my second week. I couldn't miss it, I visited the national park : Blue mountains. Inevitably after seeing the park Karijini, the park Blue mountains is less dramatic, but the landscape is beautiful especially at sunset.It is a nature lover's paradise  (so for me) with an abundance of colourful bird and animal life, the greatest concentration of eucalypt diversity on the continent, and landscapes ranging from rainforest to heathland. Exploration was easy because local tour guides are experts on the local fauna and flora, thx a lot.

Already last week. I went to do some scuba diving in the Ningaloo Reef. Ningaloo Reef is located off the coast of Western Australia and is a fringing type reef of 300km long and home to around 250 coral species, 500 fish species and 600 mollusc species. I got the fright of my life, I saw whale sharks, rays, and many others fishes. Really amazing when we were in the water.I confess having very scared but that does not prevent me to enjoy the moment. I will keep a good memory of this day.

As I was living in Sydney, I told myself that I had to visit this city. I walked to the Circular Quay where I saw the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The Sydney Opera House is  the Australian most recognizable building and this is an icon of Australia’s creative and technical achievement. The Opera is fantastic, this architecture is impressive. The Sidney Harbour Bridge is impressive, Linking the city with North Sydney, it carries eight lanes of road traffic and two railway tracks which form part of the city’s rail suburban network. In Australia, everything is disproportionate. And in the evening I ate in a restaurant. I noticed that Australian are not like French Chef, there were many Thai and Chinese restaurants, LOL. So I ate asian food, Soy sauce chicken. It was delicious.

And finally I spent my last day in Kimberley.A region located in the Northwest, is the region that is the least populated of Australia and referee Purnululu National Park where you can see amazing geological formations. Purnululu is one of the most striking geological landmarks in Western Australia, offering a remote wilderness experience.I had the best trip in my life, I have seen extraordinary things, lived unforgettable adventures.Australia has some of the world's most distinctive and diverse natural environments, with unique wildlife, and spectacular landscapes, including many national parks.I will try to return quickly, and still discover new things!!! TYVM  Australia and TTFN.
