| Australia is a place that almost everyone wants to visit. It's a very huge and safe country making it very popular for backpackers, so it's very easy to get around. I was so used to visiting tropical rainforests in third world countries, so it was a strange thing to me to go to a rainforest and the next day be in a nice shopping mall. My biggest attraction to Australia was the great barrier reef, and the rainforests in the north eastern part of the country called Queensland. My first stop was to Sydney which is a very impressive city. The people are very friendly and it's a very nice colorful place. Below are some pictures of Sydney. The first picture is of the downtown area along a river. The second picture on the right is the Sydney harbor bridge. After that is the famous Sydney Opera house. |

| I went scuba diving several times in the great barrier reef. I bought a camera specifically for scuba diving but it turns out you need a special lens. The deeper you go in the water the less light there is so the pictures turn out all blue as you can see. In real life the top left picture was a mountain of bright colors while the top right had many different colored fish. On the right you can see a sea turtle passing by. I had signed up to do one full day of diving but liked it so much I returned again. |
| The next two pictures are of my favorite part of Australia, Queensland. Queensland is the tropical part where all the crocodiles and rainforests are located. Above are two pictures of the mountains against the tropical beaches. I stayed on a very small island known as Fitzroy. |

| Australia has many unique animals such as koala bears and kangaroos. The top two pictures are of a kangaroo and a koala bear. Koalas are actually very lazy animals and spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping. They are usually active from midnight to 4am. Below you can see two different koala bears sleeping in the trees. |
| The picture on the top right and the two below are of Australia's blue mountains. Above you can see a small waterfall while the bottom left is a view of the canyons. The three rock formations are called the three sisters. |
