My Unforgettable Adventures in Australia
By: Elyse Johnson
My name is Elyse and Australia has been absolutely incredible! Every moment here has been special, from beautiful beaches to breathtaking views. One of my favorite places has been Tamarama Beach. It is smaller than other beaches, which makes it less crowded. It is walkable from Bondi and Bronti meaning it's very accessible. At low tide, I can walk out to the rocks and see little tide pools. It is also the perfect spot to watch surfers. Standing in line with them as they wait for the waves is such a cool experience. The water is also always incredibly clear here especially when looking at the ocean from the cliffs. Another great beach was Balmoral which is near our house. The calm waters and tranquility of the beach made it a perfect place to relax. I took some amazing photos there and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. One of the best parts of this trip was the catamaran cruise. It was a way to celebrate and say goodbye to the block one students. I had so much fun celebrating with everyone. The views from the water were stunning, and it was the perfect way to wrap up that part of the experience. I also visited Taronga Zoo, which was an unforgettable experience. I saw so many amazing animals, including kangaroos and koalas. The zoo itself was great, but the view made it even better. From certain spots, you can see the entire Sydney skyline across the bay. Another highlight was exploring the Blue Mountains. The scenery was breathtaking, with rugged cliffs, waterfalls, and deep valleys. The natural beauty was unlike anything I have experienced before. This trip has been one of the best of my life. Every day has brought something new and exciting. I have loved every second and cannot wait for more adventures ahead.
