The Best Country to Visit  -  Australia

[ My homework ]

There are lots of countries and places that you could visit in the world. Although there are so many countries and places that I can chose to go to, my choose would be Australia . Australia is a really excellent and wonderful place to visit, because there are lots of interesting landscapes, fun cities and places to visit, and also cute animals that you interact with.

The first reason that Australia is a good place to visit is because there are lot’s of interesting landscapes to visit. This country is located in the middle of the ocean, with no other countries that connect to it. It was first found very late by the Dutch. Most of the land is covered by deserts. You can see large strange rocks in the middle of the desert, and the most famous one is the Ayres rock. Grassland is the second most numerous landscape after the desert. You can travel through the grassland by jeep and see lots of animals. Most of the big cities are separated by a mountain range and are located on the east coast near the Pacific Ocean .

There are lots of places and cities to visit also makes a trip to Australia fun. Brisbane is a big city on the central east coast in the middle. The most famous place there is the Golden Beach . There is a fun amusement park and surfing is a really good thing to do at the beach. Then you can go south to the biggest city – Sydney, to visit the Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge . There are also ships that you can buy tickets to go on and travel in the harbor. On them, they serve tea and snacks and you can take photos on them. A very new activity is to climb up the Harbor Bridge , but you need to pay for it if you want to try. Canberra , is located in the mountain ranges, southwest of Sydney and northeast of Melbourne . The biggest city on the south coast is Melbourne , it’s a very old city and there are free streetcars so you can visit every place without walking. There’s a large gambling house, although it’s combined with a large shopping mall.

The final reason that Australia is a good place to visit is because there are lots of cute animals that you can interact with. There is an animal zoo that you can go in and touch the kangaroos and feed them food or grasses. You must remember not to make them angry, or else…(I can’t imagine). There is also a snake feeding show, and you can even let the snakes climb on you and take a photo, and I think that the snake won’t eat you(I didn’t try it). You can hug the koala and take a picture, but you need to pay for this activity. This zoo, also showed different kinds of special animals that you can find only in Australia . When you’re traveling on the highway, you can see lots of sheep eating grass and wild kangaroos jumping around on both sides, but be really be careful that the wild kangaroos might jump onto the highway.

What makes Australia an excellent country to travel to is that there are lots of interesting landscapes, fun cities and places to visit, and also cute animals that you interact with. Although Australia is a very new country (independent in 1901), there are and lots of immigrants that choose Australia for their new homeland. Australia will always welcome you to visit this beautiful land!
