● Canberra, the nicest city in Australia
Siggi Siebold from Germany
I went for a short holiday to Canberra because my son lives there. It’s the nicest city in Australia,
a little bit similar to Cairns. There’re lots of big rivers and trees around the city.
● The small city of Mount Isa
Indra Ekanayake from Malaysia
I came to Mount Isa six months ago. It’s a long way from Brisbane—about 2,000 km. It’s a
small city, with a population of 21,000, but it has all the basic facilities such as a hospital, six schools
and supermarkets. It’s a mining city. It’s hot and gets little rain. There’re two big lakes to keep the
rainwater for drinking for the city.
● Lake Moondarra and a mine
Ida Robb from Indonesia
In Mount Isa, there’s a dam called Lake Moondarra. On the weekend you can go there with your
friends. People go fi shing and even catch a crocodile. There’s a big mine in Mount Isa. Many people come
to work in the mine and earn much money. It isn’t a beautiful green place, but many people love it.
● My impression of Sydney
Namfon Pitaxsin from Thailand
The fi rst time I came to Australia, I was happy. I traveled to Sydney. Four million people live
there, and many are Asians. I saw the harbor ( 港口 ), Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House and I
went to see the koalas and kangaroos in Taronga Park Zoo. After that I went to the Thai restaurants. There
is a revolving ( 旋转的 ) restaurant, so you can eat and see the city.
