Some students in Catherina’ English class in Australia talks about their favorite places they have visited in Australia. ●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 fishing 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 first 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, Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House and I went to see the koalas and kangaroos in Taronga Park Zoo.
