Australia -Nature

Australia is a continent, country and an island. It is very famous for its nature. It has 550 national parks and 15 World Heritage Sites. In Australia you can see mountains, salt lakes, deserts, rainforests, coral reefs and amazing beaches.

The Outback

The Outback is part of Australia where few people live. It is often dry like a desert. Many families work on big sheep farms and live hundreds of kilometers away from towns or schools. Children in these families don’t go to school. They learn at home and speak to their teachers over the internet. A famous natural beauty in the Outback is ‘Ayers Rock’. Its official name is Uluru. Almost half a million people visit Uluru every year.

The coast

There are over 10,000 beaches in Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is on the north-east coast of Australia. It is a marine park that is over 3,000 kilometres long.  It is longer than the Great Wall of China and you can see it from space. It is very famous for its natural beauty. The Reef has many colourful corals and is home to whales, dolphins, turtles and crocodiles.  

Mountains

The Blue Mountains are in the south-east of Australia. In the Blue Mountains, there are three famous rocks called the ‘Three Sisters’. The Aborigine people have a very old story about the rocks. The story is about three beautiful women. The women fall in love with three brothers. The brothers are from a different tribe and they can’t get married. The brothers try to catch the sisters. A magician wants to protect the sisters and he changes them into rocks.
