Australia the land down under

Australia the land down under seems like one of the most fascinating places to visit there  because there is so much nature life and beaches. I've seen travel shows and whenever they go to Australia it looks like they're having the time of their life. There is so much nature to see you can go swimming the ocean with marine  animals and also just walk around on the Sydney Park boardwalk in the very popular city of  Sydney where you have a perfect view of the ocean.

Australia  is a country/island and  the capital is Canberra. Australia neighboring countries include Indonesia Papua New Guinea up north and New Zealand  south-east. The currency they use is the Australian dollar, approximately 1 US dollar equals  0.9640 (not even a dollar). 

The day I go to Australia the number one thing I want to do is go swimming in the "World Heritage-listed" Great Barrier Reef. I have always been interested in marine life. Australia to has such  beautiful places to go snorkeling. It  is amazing.  Mainlands include  towns of Port Douglas and Bundaberg.  There you can explore the rainbow-coloured coral islands and marine life below. There they offer boats where you can aboard  those boats have glass-bottom, when while you're on the boat you can see the ocean below your feet. The boat stops in the middle of  Airlie Beach, from there you put on your snorkeling gear and you can jump in the crystal clear water. While in the water you'll  see sea stars, crabs corals, molluscs, Capricorn and Bunker Reefs. The biggest reason why I want to do diving is because when in the water you pass  past marine turtles swimming next to you, how great and a wonderful experience is that? 

From what I wrote you can get a general idea that you'll have to take summer clothes because the climate is so nice and sunny during the months of October-January . Australia is not a cheap place to go but trust me the money is going to be worth it when you're there , even though I have never been there I know its going to be worth it.

  1. You know, the climate in Australia depends on the time of year and where you are on the continent. The further south you go, the colder it gets. And so you might need cold-weather gear in July as they're in a different hemisphere.

    I have a few questions: what do you mean by "mainlands" include particular towns? Why spell the British way? How "not cheap" is it? And which boardwalk are you speaking of in Sydney? I've never heard of one, so name it and link throughout.

  2. I agree, the great barrier reef seems pretty amazing, I've seen it on a lot of documentaries also, pretty fascinating place, I don't know if I'd go swimming in it, I think I've permanently watched too many movies about the predators of the ocean, but just knowing what's there, I can respect it greatly. Is there any specific part of the great barrier reef you'd like to visit?
