A Journey to the End of the World

A Journey to the End of the World

                                       

   Monday 15^th , 10AM France time, I started my trip from Paris where I took the plane to Sydney, I flew over the Simpson's desert, 21 hours of plane, I saw many little ranches and wild animals. I arrived in Sydney at 7AM local time. I was very tired because of jet lag, there is a 10 hour lag between France and Australia. My first days were very difficult, It was very difficult to find my hotel and this day it was very hot, so I didn't see many things.

   First week I visited Sydney, a very big and beautiful city. I saw the opera and many monuments which were incredible. We can imagine Sydney is the capital of Australia. Sydney has a magnificent bay! Surrounded by great and famous monuments, Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. There are many kilometres of beaches and a large expanse of the Pacific Ocean. I saw a beautiful amazing aquarium, a zoo and stunning botanical gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens).

  

    The second week I travelled to Newcastle, and it was wonderful. I visited Newcastle's downtown. It’s a city which has a special environment, buildings are original. There is a beach, it’s a beautiful city, with less modern architecture than Sidney. It changes these big cities. It was a quiet and relaxing week before returning to a very large city: Canberra!

 

    The third week, I began a long trip until Canberra, so I could get some rest. Canberra…  Australia’s capital, there are many trees and greenery. It’s a beautiful town, I visited many monuments and I went in a labyrinth. I saw the parliament’s house. During this week I ate many typical meals and it was very good ! I walked every day to visit things. So at the end of the week I was very tired.

Monday 5th February,

Back in France, the journey is over .... It was really beautiful and interesting, very fun and instructive to discover this country which is at the end of the world. During the trip I saw a group of Kangaroos, fortunately !
