Last summer, Oliver had a two-week holiday
in Australia. He was in a group of children coming from different parts of the
world, and they had a great time together.
From Brisbane, in Queensland, they went to
a beautiful island off the coast of Australia. It is not far from the famous
and crowded Frazer Island. Oliver's group stayed in a hotel on the beach on the
island, so they could try snorkeling (用通气管潜泳) in the light green water. At night, they went into the water to
feed wild dolphins.
After a few days on the island, they went
into the inland areas. There Oliver met some famous animals in Australia like
kangaroos! During their three days there, they rode horses. Oliver threw a
boomerang (回旋镖), too. They cooked their
food over a campfire at night, under the stars.
Then they went northwards to the Coral Sea
to visit the Great Barrier Reef. This over 2,000-kilometre line of coral (珊瑚) is a magical place. They spent three wonderful days there,
swimming in the coolest sea!
Their trip finished in Sydney, a nice city.
Oliver really enjoyed his holiday.
