| Australia |
 |
 |
| We all know the famous beautiful Australian icons: the Opera House.... |
| and Uluru (Ayers Rock). |
 |
| Australia is in a lot of things the opposite of the Netherlands. The infinity and the emptyness of the landscape.... |
| and the drought! |
| 22 % of the Netherlands is water; only 0,9 % of Australia is! |
 |
| Every place is far away and Australia is far from the rest of the "civilised" (western) world. |
 |
| The unique roadsigns. |
 |
| The smallest continent, the largest island, and the 6th largest country of the world. |
 |
| The beautuful Great Barrier Reef, where my son snorkled. |
 |
 |
 |
| Australia has animals no other continent has, the kangaroo and the koala of course, and the wombat, the platypus, the echidna and a number of smaller animals, mammals, marsupials and the strange monotremata, as well as birds and lizards.. |
