Australia
If I could go any where in the world, I would go to Australia to see the kangaroos, wallabies and the beaches. Another reason I want to go there is to see Sydney, where the Olympics took place. I wonder what sports they play in Australia, and I would love to watch a sports event there. I would also like to visit the capital of Australia, Canberra, and swim along the Great Barrier Reef, the biggest coral reef in the world. I think it would be cool to visit all 6 states and to see how the climate and natural features differ and compare to each other.

I would love to go to Australia to see the kangaroos and the beautiful landscape. I like koala bears, too. I looked at your Mexico page and I really liked it. I hope to see you soon!

Hey Brianne! I loved the blog. You totally caught my interest when you said koala bears! I named a koala bear austria(although it was a stuffed animal). I also love coral reefs because lets just say that they have the word tropical written all over them! One thing that maybe you could add next time is a picture but you did a great job!!!

Hi there, I’m a teacher in Australia and I stumbled upon your blog. I hope it’s okay
that I respond to some of the things you wrote about.
Please visit our wonderful country some day! It is a nation obsessed with sport, so take
your pick of what kind of event you would like to go to. The most popular sports would be football, cricket, swimming and tennis.
Did you know that we don’t say ‘koala bears’ here… we just call them koalas. I don’t
know why, but the rest of the world adds the ‘bear’ bit onto the end!
I live in Brisbane, which is the capital of Queensland. Queensland is where the Great
Barrier Reef is - a beautiful part of the world and a great place to snorkel.
This truly is a nation of contrasts when it comes to climate and natural features. We have
reefs, rainforests, deserts, snowy mountains… and so many amazing places to visit.
Happy Blogging!
