My Australian Adventure

Notes from the Author. Australia is a big country, and I only managed to see a few places, considering the size of the country. I stayed in Parramatta, which is the innerwest of Sydney. If you are coming down to Sydney for a tour, there are lots of places to go to. But definitely, you shouldn't miss going to the city where most of the touristy places are. And while you are in Sydney, take the time to visit the local zoo. I'm fond of animals, so it's always fun for me to go to the wildlife reserves or the zoo. The Blue Mountains in Katoomba is also a nice place to visit, which is just about an hour away from the city by train. If you get the chance to visit other parts of Australia like the GoldCoast in Queensland, they have nice sandy beaches, and you'll see lots of surfers down there. Surfing happens to be a common past time anywhere. There are also many theme parks like the Warner Bros Movie World and SeaWorld. I didn't get the chance to see Melbourne, Western Australia, and Tasmania, which hopefully, I'll get to visit someday.
