So: Australia is the only one country that takes the hole continent. It's fauna is unique, and I love animals, so I'll start with them. About 85% of animals are so called endemits - they don't occur in any places except Australia. Som examples of them are kangaroos, platypuses and koalas. Everybody loves koala, so here you go:
Tasmanian Devil
short-beaked echidna
Dingo dog - they came to Australia with people
Inland taipan. One of the most poisonous snakes in the world ^.^"
This species was killed by human. It's called Thylacine.
At the end, I would like to show you this sweetie, sugar glider:
I'm not very interested in botany, so I'll write only few words about flora: number of endemic species is high also, for example there are eucalyptuses.
Australia is a country where there's more wild areas than those developed, what's caused by climate. There are some famous features such like the Great Barrier Reef or Opera House in Sydney;
Btw, I'm gonna be the Mythbuster - Sydney is NOT the capital city of Australia. Canberra is. I still don't know where exactly I am going so I can't write anything about my city or town (I heard that town in Australia can have even 100 inhabitants). I like small towns, so I'm not gonna cry. Coming back to Canberra's subject: Canberra's area is 814.2 km², and number of inhabitants is nearly 340 thousands (wow, it's less than in a quite normal city near my town). To compare, Sydney has 12 144,6 km² and about 5,3 million inhabitants. It;s quite similar to NY City and Washington DC.
I don't know much about australian interesting objects, so I googled them. It seems that there are some things worth visiting, such as:
1. Sydney
2. Melbourne
3. Outback (wild, dry areas)
4. Uluru Rock
5. Few National Parks,
6. Aborigines' culture
7. The Great Barrier Reef
and many, many others. I'm not going to see them all, to bo honest. I just hope I'll manage to visit at least few.
And now the best subject: food.
It seems that Aussies have cuisine similar to British, but I found few interesting dishes:
1. Pavlova (Pawłowa) - New Zealands say it's THEIR dish:
2. Anzac Biscuits - they were created to be food for soldier's, that would remain eatable:
3. Lamingtons - they look soooooo delicious:
And that's all. I found some other things, but they weren't as interesting as these 3.
To sum up: I'm going to civilized country where food seems to be quite normal. However, when I go there, I'll probably be surprised. Now I only have to receive my GF, make a passport (year ago it expired), get visa and buy plane tickets. Yay!
