Adventure Australia
Australia is not only a country but a continent.
We often forget that Australia is not only a country but a continent. I myself can do for you the experience and I watched a small part.
We landed in Perth. As a small island, one can call the city. In the southwest of Australia's largest city with strong contrasts between new and old. There is a huge skyscraper next to a brick building of about 1900. Along the Swan River with a boat, I went to Fremantle. A suburb of Perth. Very charming with small villas, great restaurants and beach. Towards the evening you can watch as the sea swallows the sun. Very impressive! The Blue Duck restaurant, you can watch the sunset with a great dinner.
From there we went to the outback. More than 400 kilometers a Wave Rock (a rock shaped like a wave and umrangt with Aboriginal Mhyten) on barren vastness and endless salt look up to Kalgoorlie, a mining town workers. She still looks exactly like the beginning of 1900th Only, that have turned into the streets with horse-drawn carriages, with asphalt roads and cars. Near Kalgoorlie is the large open pit mine called super-Pitt. A trip definitely worth it. Also you can make in an old underground mine and experience a trip like it was at that time worked underground. I made this trip for you and can only say it was a great adventure.
From there we continue through to Esperance in an Aboriginal station (station Marapoi). There we have shown how the Aborigines at the time food is prepared and has been excavated honey ants. Very interesting and very adventurous. I did not dare, but some colleagues have certainly tried it and survived.
Again a few hundred kilometers to Esperance. A small sleepy coastal village charm. Here we are on to Woody Iceland an offshore island with native vegetation. There you can also enjoy camping and the rest of nature. From there we started on a wildlife cruise and have us on the wild dolphins followed us, eagles and seals bring happiness to experience these animals in the wild.
And then it went back to Germany.
Conclusion: Australia is a very nice wide and adventurous country / continent with many faces. Anyone who loves the adventure and nature is right there anyway. Also the nightlife is impressive. However, the additional costs (Beer 6 - 8 €, water 2-4 €, for example, eating fish and chips 18 - 25 Euro), not cheap but Australia is worth every trip.
