AROUND AUSTRALIA IN 33 DAYS

Get ready to visit Australia with two French boys, Félix and Marius and their family. They spent one month exploring the country-its beaches, its cities, its deserts and its strange animals. What an adventure!

FRASER ISLAND

On our first day we took the ferry to Fraser Island, where you can go whale-watching. It was incredible to see whales next to our boat. We also hired a Jeep to visit the island and its beaches. But we couldn't swim: the water was cold and had lots of sharks!

SYDNEY 

In three days we visited Sydney's botanic gardens, the aquarium, the beach, the Harbour Bridge and the famous Sydney Opera House. But the Australian Museum was the best part...we saw real boomerangs.

AYERS ROCK (ULURU)

We took a small plane to Ayers Rock. It's in the middle of the desert with just one hotel, a shop and a petrol station. Ayers Rock is a giant rock formation-we saw it at 6am in the morning and the colours were amazing.

ALICE SPRINGS

The best part of our trip to Alice Springs was the hot-air balloon. At 5am we took a bus to Alice Springs and got on the balloon with the pilot and 13 other passengers. The views were superb and we saw 19 kangaroos. But we didn't take photos of them-they were too fast!
