Taylor's Aussie Impressions

Taylor's Aussie Impressions

When I arrived in Australia it was everything I had expected. Other than the part that it was raining! But this was in Sydney. As we drove North to Old Bar the weather became nicer. If it wasn't for the first day of overcast and showers I wouldn't believe there was anything other than cloudless blue sky. Even though it is winter I am yet to see a snow flake. After getting to Old Bar I had just enough time to settle in and then pack and get ready for a more exciting adventure. Heading North to the Whitsunday Islands.

Let's begin with some impressions. This country is beautiful. I have seen most of the East Coast now and everyday I would see something more amazing then the next. One of the first things you realize when in Australia is the different Flora and Fauna. The life here is a lot more tropical then at home.

The animals are interesting. If you have never seen a kangaroo its something else. The way they use there tail to balance and hop is hilarious. The birds are all colorful. They all seem so cheerful always singing or chirping. Koalas on the other hand are strange little animals although I never saw one in the wild I did get to pet one at the theme park Dreamworld

Next is the ocean. Wow the coast is excellent! The beaches as you head north get less surf because of the great barrier reef. But this is not all bad because the beaches are perfect for swimming and just going for a dip. The water here is so much warmer than the Puget Sound. I don't want to go back. Although it is winter here I'm yet to feel the water colder than the sound. The sand beaches are the best and Australia is filled with them.

Oh and how about the Aussie ladies? I mean how could I forget bout them. They're just as gorgeous as the country herself. These two ar my favorite girls here. Are they pretty or what?
