I can still feel the heat of the Australian sun as I travelled with my father, visiting Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. The sights were breathtaking, ranging from lush greenery to arid landscapes inspiring a feeling of wonderment — until we visited the Hunter Valley wine region. With its exquisite selection of wines, it urged us to imbibe and explore even further. We stayed in Kings Cross, providing us with easy access to Manly Beach and the Sydney CBD and we visited the Sydney Motorshow admiring the supercars. The air was alive with the energy of thousands of passionate fans, all coming together to watch a truly titanic battle between the Kiwi League Team and the Australians at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney. We felt every hit, every near miss, and every moment of glory as we watched them fight for victory. We visited the Blue Mountains in NSW and experienced all that nature offered us; from towering peaks to the magnificent eucalyptus forests covered in a shimmering blue haze. We caught a magical ferry to Kangaroo Island, where the scenery took our breath away. Every rock formation was an awe-inspiring work of art — a masterpiece carved out by nature. We felt like we were in a dream world, and never wanted it to end. We were pelted with rain and hail in the humid subtropical climate of New South Wales. We braved the depths of a gold mine — artistic license — in Ballarat and beheld the astounding Twelve Apostles, standing proud by the tumultuous waters of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. With each awe-inspiring wave that crashed against the majestic cliff faces, we felt a sense of wonder washing over us. We roared through the wilderness of the Glass House Mountains located in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland. We stayed in St Kilda in Melbourne and we visited the National Gallery of Victoria and admired the venerable Flinders Street Railway Station. The Gold Coast was truly magical with its golden-white sandy beaches and dazzling ocean vistas that will forever be etched into my memory.
