Australia

Australia awakes interest in all of us, so far, so mysterious, so big and so varied ... It looks like a place where the world ends and that almost belongs to another.

A good starting place is Sydney, the oldest city in the country with an incredible and very beautiful bay. The Opera House, the Harbour Daring or its seventy beaches enrich it.

Melbourne is also a wonderful city with a rich social, cultural and sports life. On the other hand Canberra that is the capital of the country. It is located between Sydney and Melbourne and it was named capital precisely to end the rivalry between the two cities. It is also a very interesting city.

Huge natural areas are the great claim of Australia. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest living organism on the planet, has a wealth and huge dimensions that dive there becomes a vital and unforgettable experience. Next to it there is the Daintree Forest, both declared World Heritage.

Kakadu National Park has a lot of rivers, waterfalls and freshwater pools. Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls are the most popular, but not unique.

In the center of the country, there is one of the great icons of Australia: Ayers Rock. It is a curious mountain of kindly forms and reddish colors that rises unexpectedly in the middle of a very extensive plain.

Although there are other interesting places in Australia, we want to highlight the island of Tasmania, a place to discover with good food and fine wines, abundant virgin nature and great beaches.

Ball's Pyramid

         
Trip Troupe, about Australia    hace 2 meses
Text taken from Wikipedia > Ball Pyramid

Ball's Pyramid is an erosional remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago. Ball's Pyramid is 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean. It is 562 metres (1,844 ft) high, while measuring only 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) in length and 300 metres (980 ft) across, making it the tallest volcanic stack in the world.[1] Ball's Pyramid is part of the Lord Howe Island Marine Park.

Ball's Pyramid has a few satellite islets. Observatory Rock and Wheatsheaf Islet lie about 800 metres (2,600 ft) west-northwest and west-southwest respectively, of the western extremity of Ball's Pyramid. Southeast Rock is a pinnacle located about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) southeast of Ball's Pyramid. Like Lord Howe Island and the Lord Howe seamount chain, Ball's Pyramid is based on the Lord Howe Rise, part of the submerged continent of Zealandia.

Do not miss the video below.It's great! And of course leaves the pyramid.

The pink lake in Australia, Lake Hillier

         
Trip Troupe, about - citys and places -, Australia    hace 3 meses
In the Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia, is one of the spectacular natural wonders: Lake lagor Hillier or pink, as it is popularly known.

  The lake is barely separated from the ocean by a narrow area covered by white sand dunes and is responsible for the removal of water from the lake and the ocean. A British navigator discovered the lake in 1802. The reason why the color pink lake has not yet known precisely, despite subsequent investigations. The dominant theory is a nutrient concentrations, bacteria and algae.

It is the only lake in the world pink. There is another in Senegal, although the environment that is not as idyllic as this and the reasons for their peculiar coloration are different.

Sydney Opera House

         
Trip Troupe, about Sidney, Australia    hace 3 meses
The Sydney Opera House was opened on October 20, 1973, and over time has become a symbol not only of the city but across Australia.

The House of the Sydney Opera House is an expressionist building a radically innovative design, consisting of a series of large prefabricated shells, each taken from the same hemisphere, which form the roof of the structure.

And lately it has become fashionable to a new technology, using famous buildings to make a video on their facades. In the case of the Sydney Opera House, the result is spectacular.

WEEKEND CONSOLIDATING FRIENDS

         
Rubén, about Sidney, Australia    hace 3 meses
After this week of intensive filming and travel nearly a thousand miles to film koalas hospital, finally I took a weekend off.

I have met many people and I can say that Australians are very friendly, they live in a blessed land and it shows in his character. They are intrepid, warm, happy and vigorous.

So I went out to dinner with my new friends and took me to a site that is trendy in Sydney, Surry Hills, near Central Station. Y. ..OH, SURPRISE!A Spanish tapas bar! The joke was obvious but I recognize that we ate very well, among these new friends who are helping me a lot.

From here I send you a hug.

From the gold rush to steam trains

         
Trip Troupe, about Australia    hace 3 meses
The unmistakable nostalgic sound of whistle of a steam locomotive can still be heard in the distance walking along the main streets of Castlemaine or Maldon.

The old line opened in 1884 during the gold rush never had a splendid time as it does in other old lines retrieved. Just got to have a maximum of four trips per day and after the Second World War and was used only for freight.

The line was officially closed in 1976 and that it took only one month to pass from civil society created the Castlemaine and Maldon Railway Preservation Society, ready to retrieve the line as a tourist train.

Currently, the Victoria Goldfields Raillway has the magic of the steam era still alive in the center of the state of Victoria. The strength of the experience lies in its authenticity. In addition to regular travel steam trains have been introduced other activities. You can even get to drive the locomotive. This includes a full day of classes culminating running it on a journey under the watchful eye of the instructor of the course.

Koala Hospital

         
Rubén, about Australia    hace 3 meses
In Port McQuarie is the only Koala Hospital where, with the help of volunteers, they do a great job for the protection and survival of the species.

I have traveled the 450 miles that separate Sydney to learn first-person shooting this hopeful place. Initiatives like this are the one who reconciled with the world.

Thanks to all professionals and volunteers who make it work and special thanks to Helen for receiving me so kindly.
