A happy post to start :)

  I've been to quite a few places in the world and I enjoyed them all very much, however I think that if I could pack up a suitcase and leave to go anywhere in the world right now, I would definitely visit Australia! Of all the places in the world I definitely see Australia as the most beautiful because everywhere you go in the outback, or by the ocean, there is not one place that could even remotely be considered ugly or in any way unnatractive to the eye of the beholder.

  Australia is sourrounded by some of the bluest and the most clear oceans and miles of vast countrysides and even massive red rock faces when you are travelling through the outback. Something that I didn't even know is that there are 570 000 unique species that exist in Australia alone! How could someone not want to go just to see new species? If all these majestic animals would not be enough to draw you in then maybe the Great Barrier Reef could?

  The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. This is one of the largest, extremely delicate eco-systems currently in existence! This eco-system is also the home to a diversity of life including many endangered or vulnerable species that need to be protected by non other than us humans. An example of sea life that exists solely in this area is the green sea turtle (seen above). Some day I hope to travel to Australia and hopefully stay for a while so that I can protect these wonderful animals and many others!
