Out in the wild

Hello again!

I just got to my hotel after spending two days out in the wild. These two days have been amazing and I’ve learned so much!

I packed a bag, rented a tent and went out in the Australian nature. Well, not all by myself of course. We were a group of six people who went out on this exciting adventure together with a guide who was an expert when it came to the Australian wildlife. 

We walked in the outback and our base camp was the huge rock called Uluru. After we set up our tents we began to walk around in the area. Our guide was awesome and I learned a lot about the Australian wildlife. I learned that Australia has been separated from the other continents for thousands of years and that’s why their animals are so different if you compare it to the ones on other continents.

I got to see a lot of animals but the one I’m really happy that I got to see is the kangaroo. They are really cool animals and very big, I did not expect it to be two meters tall. I really wish I could jump like they do, that would be useful when I jump long jump and high jump.

After a day full of walking we went back to our base camp and made some food. We all got different directions of what to do and I had the luck to get the food station. It was very easy actually, we served grilled hot dogs and boiled potatoes. When we had eaten we just sat down next to fire and got to know each other. 

After a long night with not much sleep, we packed our things together and started the walk back to the place we started. We made few stopped along the way and our guide told us some interesting things about the Aboriginals. The Aboriginals are the people who lived in Australia before Europeans came and took over, the Aboriginals had the whole continent all by themselves for 50.000 years. Now it’s just 3 percent fo the population that’s Aboriginals and they continue to disappear more and more. 

I’ve had a fantastic time out in the wild and it was much better than I expected it to be. I’m not really the girl who likes these kinds of adventures but this was fantastic. If I ever come to Australia again I’m going to go on this kind of tour one more time.

The next stop on my journey is the Great Barrier Reef, I love to dive and I’m sure this will be an adventure I’ll never forget. I really want to see if the reef is as fantastic as people describe it.

I hope you have good time in Sweden because I have it fantastic here in Australia.
