Australia is amazing! There are so many fun things to do here that I would do again on short notice. The first fun thing we did was climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It was nice because when up there you could see for miles and see the Sydney skyline from a different perspective. The next fun thing we did which was my favorite was diving the Great Barrier Reef. It was so amazing seeing all the fish and the huge and small turtles swimming in and around the colorful reef. Next, we took a helicopter tour of Uluru and Kata Tjuta and sunset. It was amazing because from up there you can see the colors of the rock in a way that you can’t get from looking up from the ground. Finally, to end the trip to Australia with something to remember, we swam in the numerous waterholes of Litchfield National Park. The swimming holes were filled with crystal clear water and numerous fish. Australia has many more fun things to do that we couldn’t do because I wasn’t old enough. Two that I really wanted to do were skydiving Uluru and swimming with crocodiles in The Cage of Death. Maybe next time when I am a little older.
Another interesting thing about Australia is the food they eat. Because Australia has many unique animals they have a very unique menu. One item which you can find at every breakfast buffet is the terrible substance known as Vegemite. It has the consistency of butter, the color of motor oil and tastes like &!@#$. If you ever try it have a gallon of water to wash away the taste. My favorite thing on the menu was kangaroo, it tastes like beef not chicken. There are many ways to prepare kangaroo including but not limited to, kangaroo burgers, kangaroo loin, kangaroo steak and kangaroo jerky. I have tried the first two options and am planning on taking the final option home with me. Other animals that were on the menu that I didn’t have the time to try were emu drumsticks, Asian water buffalo steak, camel hump and crocodile tail.
