My Favorite Sights in Australia

Since I was a little child, I have always yearned to visit Australia. This country is located in the southern hemisphere, and is full of mysterious culture that is highly different from Taiwan. However, due to the distance and my travel budget, I have not achieved my dream until college.

One day, my friends ask me what plans do I have for my summer vacation? I tell them I want to visit Australia, which I have not gotten the chance to go. Unexpectedly, they are deeply interested in joining me if I planned to go abroad. Shortly after, our backpacking trip begins, and we look forward to visiting Australia.

Once we arrive in Sydney, my uncle picks us up at the airport, and we head back to their house to take a short break. It is a very magnificent house. We run to the patio, lying on the turf, and play with the dog.

The atmosphere is lazy and comfortable. We have a wonderful afternoon in Australia. In the evening, we arrive at our share house, where gathers lots of working holiday people. We make many friends and share many experiences there. If we miss Taiwanese foods, we will cook ourselves a few dishes of Taiwanese food to fulfill our homesickness.

We also visit Sydney famous attractions, and our first stop is the opera house. The architecture is quite unique, which the designer’s idea is from a stripping orange.

If you bring food there and eat it outdoor, you need to watch out for the seagulls, they will snatch your food just like the monkeys in Taiwan.

Our second stop is the blue mountain, there is an old place that appeared in the Holocene Jurassic.

We stay in Sydney, a convenient and cozy city, for fifteen days. Then, we take the flight to Melbourne to spend our last fifteen days.

When the airplane land at Melbourne airport, the environment is quite different from Sydney, this city is older and more vintage, and this can be seen in their train station.

We take the train to our share house there, and along the way the scenery is quite cinematic.

The Australians are relaxed and leisure people, along the Yarra river, there are quite a number of people lie on the chair and enjoy their coffee.

We also visit Melbourne famous coffee street, and we order a cake, trying to act like the locals, to experience their culture and life.

In the zoo, we see many kinds of peculiar animals, such as kangaroo, platypus, and koala. The most interesting thing is we get to feed and get closer to the kangaroo.

The Twelve Apostles rock is also a famous attraction in Melbourne, we take the bus to appreciate this spectacular landscape of Australia. During one month, we stay in Australia, me and my friends have a great experience and wonderful memory there.
