WHY AUSTRALIA?
G’Day, mate!
Have you ever imagined that you go to a beach and take a nap, play beach volleyball, and go surfing with your foreign friends after school or work? In Australia, it comes true. Also, you can work with foreign friends and go to a beach before you work. There are some information for whom are interested in living and working in Australia.
WEATHER
Generally, Brisbane’s climate is humid and subtropical, so it is warm all year and hot in the summer. The average summer temperature is 28 degrees celsius, and the winter temperature is 12 degrees celsius. Sydney is known for its mild tropical weather, but temperatures vary. It is 22 degrees celsius on average in summer, and the low temperature in winter is 7 degrees celsius.

A lot of local residents and visitors think that Australia is a paradise for doing outdoor activities such as surfing, scuba diving, and camping on outback. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving points in the world. Also the 74 Whitsunday Island located near the Outer Reef host diverse and colorful coral gardens. In addition to these, you can also enjoy the sea kayaking and hiking.

TRAVEL
In Australia, there are many places you have to visit. This means there are many travel attractions you have to go such as Uluru, Great Barrier Reef, Surfers Paradise and Great Ocean Road. The best thing is you can travel by car all around Australia.
The best place I’ve ever been in Australia is Fraser Island located in Queensland. It has titled the world's largest sand island. There are the stunning 75-Mile Beach, more than 100 crystal clear freshwater lakes, rain forests, fishing and Australian wildlife (350 bird species, kangaroos, wallabies, flying foxes, and Australia's purest breed of dingoes). Besides, you can watch wild whales, dolphins and countless stars in the night sky. Also, driving along stretches of pristine beaches for 3 hours would be an awsome experience.
The second place is Whitsunday Island. Although I’ve never been Whitsunday, all of my friends who has been there said ‘The best place I’ve ever been. You must go!’ The Whitsundays are made up of 74 Island Wonders, on the beautiful tropical coast of Queensland. Right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, a visit to the Whitsundays is a feast for the senses. The stunning natural landscapes of coast and islands are dotted with secluded beaches and friendly towns.
Living in the other country and culture is not easy, but worth challenging. Things could be turned out contrary to your hopes and you might be upset. However, you will learn how great you are after trying to achieve your goal. Don’t hesitate! Everything would be better than you think.
