My trip to Australia

When I was a little kid i always wanted to make a trip to Australia. This is because i played rugby since i was 6 years old and as you all know Australia have one of the most remarcable national team of this sport. I will never forget the day when I was watching the final of the 1999 rugby world cup of wales, because that day Australia beat France in one of the most impressive rugby exhibition i have ever seen. Thanks god, the savings that i had make during the past few years were enough to pay a trip to this amazing country, so the last year i decided to make the trip with witch i had dream so many years.

If i was going to Australia i wasn’t going just for rugby, but also to se all the beautiful places that Australia can offer to world. At first my plane land in Sydney, the most populated city in the country and the most well know. In this urban area i visit the Sydney opera house, the emblematic symbol of the city, right after that i went to the Sydney Harbour Bridge another architectural beauty. To continue with my urban tourism i went to Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city , there i was amazed with the perfection of modern buildings. Then i went to Camberra a city set within extensive parks and gardens.

After being visiting the most popular city of the country i started the “natural tourism time”, because i began to travel all over the country seeing so many amazing places. At first i went to Queensland to see the Great Barrier Reef an ecosystem with more than  3000 coral reefs, in my opinion one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Then i went to the Daintree national Park where i discovered a whole new kind of trees it was an indescribable experience. A few days later, i went  to the Northern Territory to visit Kakadu National Park the largest national park in Australia and the second in the world. In this par kit was possible visit the ecosystem by car what gave me more time to rest, because i was very tired after the longs walks in the others parks. Then i went to the south of the country to the bests beaches of Australia, that gave me the possibility to try surfing and visit Port Campbell national park, where i saw the most beautiful  beach of my life.

Before leave the country my heart forced my to go see one match of the “Wallabies”, the Australian national rugby team. To achieve my dream i went to the ANZ stadium where the Wallabies where going to play against  “All Blacks”, the national team of New Zeland. When the match was about to began the stadium was full, there was almost 82000 people seeing the match, it was fantastic. That was the best moment of the trip and one of the most exciting moment of my life.
