Australia is one of my favourite countries, however, I have never been there. It’s a place where there is clear air and beautiful scenery. I like Australia’s climate which is warm all year round. Also I like its environment. For example, Sydney, is a large international city where the city center and shopping malls are busy but everywhere else is not. However, unlike China, everywhere in the large cities is crowded.  People in Australia are carefree, they walk with ease  and enjoy their time. I like its tourist spots, the Great Barrier Reef , Sydney Opera House and the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is a good place for surfing and relaxing at its resorts. I like Australia’s unique animals like kangaroos and koalas but I’ve only seen them on TV. In general , its a fantastic place.
