The Awesome Australia

Wow! It was awesome. There is hardly a place on this planet as beautiful as Australia. The sea beaches, river side rest yards of Perth, glass-roofed railway crawling through the heavenly Blue Mountains and of course the opera; I wish I could be there for life. Every time I close my eyes I see the psychedelic coral reefs, vibrant fishes and mollusks, wandering all over. I could hardly remember when I fall asleep taking sand bath on Bondi.


It started when I reached Sydney Airport. I was a little perplexed when I stuck with a terrible taxi driver. But finally, I came across Apex Car Hire amenity and decided to secure the service for the rest of my tour.
It was a long vacation for me. I touched almost every part of Australia. A unique experience was observed by me to see the aboriginal culture of Australia in Garma festival, near Arnhem Land of Northern Territory. I bought a hand-made shawl from there. It is decorated with organic fabrics. Later I spent a full moon night in the desert. My god! I was afraid at first. But just when I decided to call the security, nature tugged me into her lap. I could not sleep the whole night imagining the Yolngu drums beating rhythmically on the dance steps desert deity.
Next day, I moved on; maybe that’s what life is all about. High rise buildings and riverside botanical garden of Perth grabbed my attention soon; had a tremendous speed boating there. I had never spotted sea water with such intense indigo color.
Broome offered me with my first black pearl necklace set. I was amused when they took me to the sunset camel ride; it felt so soothing that I wished not to stop.
It was time for me to leave the beaches for then and head towards the jungles. You can find a hundred ways to galvanize your adrenalin with adventure sports in Blue Mountain National Park but I preferred to take the glass-roof train to explore the flora and fauna. If you take a while and look around the forest, I don’t know why, you will find the mountains to be blue. It becomes more aquamarine more the sun dims.


Yes! obviously I went to see the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns in Northern Queensland is the gateway to the world famous Coral Reefs. I decided to come out of my apprehension and tried the scuba dive to take closer glimpses of rich corals, star fishes, mollusks, different types of lobsters and crabs.
Eventually my schedule knocked me to return to Sydney as my holidays were likely to over. I already had secured some times to visit the opera house and taste the original Australian cuisine. I went to the Bondi for several times and took the sand bath; wish I was a resident of Australia.

It felt like being at home in around Australia; people there are so friendly and warm hearted. I have plans to return soon.
