AUSTRALIA WEST COAST

So, where do I start to talk about this amazing part of the forgiven West Australia?

Of course with Perth, the most isolated city in the World… it is @ 5h flight from Brisbane,

means right on the other side of the continent.

Apart from the +40º in January and a very dry weather, the sky is always astonished clear blue with such breathtaking sunrises that you would never leave this place. Either going North or South, you will find an amazing nature with

One of my favorite places of Australia certainly is Margaret River, especially Surfers Point at sunset, when the sun disappears down in the Ocean the sky simply changes its colors thousand of times with a mix of red, yellow and orange among the dense clouds.

Isn’t it a dream come true?

Bushes all around, unbelievable routes with no one else crossing by

and a magnificent landscape by the sea or in land.

And during the day, the time just fly simply visiting all the wineries, the cheese farms, chocolate farm, jam farms… all natural products from this area, but the best is of course the free wine tasting!!!

This land is very calm and that’s why at night there is nothing to do and none in the street after 09pm.. Which is a bit strange for a Spanish resident.. But believe me, with all the things that you have to check out during the day, you will be so satisfied that to go to sleep early will be a pleasure!

GREAT BARRIER REEF

GREAT BARRIER REEF, the 7th wonder of the World

The Great Barrier Reef is the only “lively” thing that could be seen from the space, is longer than the Great Wall of China and is the 7th Wonder of the World… If you do not believe in these things, you’d better checked them out!

I have taken a sailing boat of 52 feet with just 11 people on board and - apart from the

thunderstorm during all the night and the 3 meters high waves - it has been an amazing experience that I definitively recommend.

It takes about 3 hours and ½ to get out ot the Reef from Cairns and we were snorkeling in different spots such as the 360 and the Lagoon, if you have ever seen one of those postcards with the dark blue Ocean and suddenly some light blue and green spots.. There you go, you are on a reef!

The ecosystem is extremely fragile and that’s why tourism is controlled and everyone has to pay a 20AUS $ tax. The Reef was proclaimed a national park in 1979 and is now center of interest of scientists, tourists, divers and enthusiasts.

There is a wonderland down there: corals of every single shape and color, huge big claims that open and close while you are passing over them, big fishes of all the imaginable colors and dimensions …and Nemo!!!!

While there, take care to stick the to rules that allow this magic underwater world to survive and just enjoy your private space, the feeling to be alone in the big ocean, the silence and the magician of all this wild wonderland.

The beautiful BYRON BAY

I am trying to find some words to describe Byron Bay…

honestly I cannot close it into just one.

It is simply incredible… vibrant…. amazing…

If I can describe it with some adjectives…I can tell you few sensations:

- the beautiful tan bodies of the surfers!

- walking barefoot everywhere

- smiles, food and wet boards after surfing

- surfing the waves during Christmas Day

- the beaches… kilometers with no one apart from you and your shade

- why everyone is blonde here????

- the sound of the brilliant white sand, soft like talco powder

- the lighthouse and the magnificent view from the top

- the beautiful light and the color of the sky at the sunset

- amazing running in the early morning with just the sound of the Ocean

- the little shops in the center

… but most of all… EASY!!!!

I found my Byron and… I like it!
