Hey guys!
This blogpost is not going to be in German as you already probably noticed. I thought it would be time to publish another one in English because my exchange year comes closer from day to day and writing in English is a good way to improve my skills I guess. Besides, my readers from not german-speaking countries get the chance to understand what I'm talking about.
Today I wanna talk about 5 places I would like to go in Australia.
1. SYDNEY, MELBOURNE AND BRISBANE
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane simply are the most popular cities in Australia. Sydney is famous for it's beautiful habour, the Opera House, great beaches and lots of delicious food, while Melbourne is about tons of Cafés, art and fashion (things which I personally really like). Brisbane is perhaps the most idyllic metropolis in the world with a very tropical climate. I'm wondering which of those cities will steal my heart. Australia is known for it's fascinating nature but for me it's also important to experience life in the city, so I really hope I can put my plans of trips to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane into practice.
2. FRASER ISLAND
Fraser Island is the worlds largest sand island and just a 5 1/2 hour car drive away from right where I live, which is definitely not much for australian conditions. You can drive along the beach with your car or see the Maheno Shipwreck. Unfortunately the great beaches of Fraser Island are not good for swimming because of the huge number of sharks, but luckily there is Lake Mckenzie with crystal blue water.
3. ULURU
I think all of you know it - the big red rock in the midst of the Australian Outback. I know that there will be attendant trips just for international students and I hope I can take part at one of this trips to such a fascinating nature special like the Uluru.
4. RAINFOREST
To be honest, I don't know the exact names of any rainforests in Australia but what I know is that there are many of them. Especially Cairns is known as a rainforest paradise. How cool would it be if I could walk through a real tropical rainforest? I hope that I will have the chance to do it, even if I react totally phobic to spiders and any kind of insects living there.
5. GREAT BARRIER REAF
The Great Barrier Reef is the world largest coral reef and home of millions of fishes, rays, sharks, corals and anything you could imagine living under the sea. My school offers a special trip to the reaf and I'm absolutely looking forward to this. I guess diving at such a stunning place would be one of the most amazing things I will ever experience, even I'm not a practiced diver.
Well, these where the first 5 things that came to my mind when I was thinking about which places I would like to see. I guess there will probably be a blogpost about the 5 things I would like to do in Australia.
Thanks for reading, I wish ya'll a great day!
