Australia

I will be staying in Canberra Australia for 4 days.
Here is some info on Australia...


Geography:
- it is the 6th largest country in the world
- it has a dramatic landscape
- a vast majority of the continent is dessert, which means it is dry and barren
- there are also grasslands, mountains and beaches

Culture:
- it is a liberal and comprehensive society
- both Eurpeans and aboriginals live together
- it has a very diverse culture
- since the Europeans arrived in Australia, it has become very Americanized

Economy:
- one of the largest growing economies in the world
- has the 13th largest economy
- in 2010 the average GDP was US $882.344 billion

While I am here, I will be staying at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra. Here is a picture of what my hotel room will look like...

Australia has some awesome food. Here are some examples of what I will be enjoying while I am there..

With my four days in Australia, here are some of the sight seeing attractions I plan on visiting..
This is the National Botanic Gardens. It offers a wide variety of native plants and helps preserve plants that are becoming extinct.

This is Lake Burley Griffen. I plan on biking around it and enjoying its beautiful scenery.


This is Black Mountain Tower. There is a restaurant located in in which I will of course, be checking out!

This is Big Splash Waterpark. It has a ton of waterslides which I will be enjoying in the sun.
