I watched Discovery Atlas: Australia tonight. What doesn't Australia boast? The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing in the world, it's larger than Italy! Australia is larger than Europe but the population is thousands of times smaller. It's also known as the 'Lucky Country' because of the large deposits of natural minerals, including silver. I've got to be there!
From what I gathered, Australia seems to be a land of contrasts. The barren interior, the teeming ocean. The ancient aboriginals and the new settlers. The youngest country but one of the world's oldest indigenous people.
Just watching the video, I was on the edge of my seat! I HAVE to be there.
Yesterday I applied for a part time job. Add this on top of my current full time job and school and I'm pretty much maxed out. But I'm going to do whatever it takes to get to Oceania.
Good night!
About Me
- Longing for Australia...
- I'm beginning a blog for two important reasons. One; I used to write all the time. I'd write journals, stories, poems or songs and now I don't make the time. Two; because I would like the position of the Island Caretaker for Australia and through this blog I will demonstrate my willingness and ability to undertake the position!
