About 7 years ago，visiting Australia had always been a dream of mine, and this trip was everything I had hoped for—bustling cities, stunning coastlines, and unique wildlife encounters. From the iconic landmarks of Sydney to the vibrant culture of Melbourne and the Gold Coast, every moment was an adventure.
My journey began in Sydney, where I was immediately captivated by the breathtaking Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The scenery here is truly amazing. My family and I had a steak dinner in front of the Sydney Opera House. The steak was smoked and grilled over fruitwood, and its aroma alone was incredible.
A visit to the University of Sydney was also on my list, and walking through its historic sandstone buildings made me feel like I had stepped into a scene from Harry Potter.
One of the most memorable moments happened at a park, where I was about to feed some birds. Just as I reached into my bag, my aunt stopped me, warning that feeding birds was actually illegal. I was shocked—I thought I was just being friendly to nature! It turns out that feeding wildlife can disrupt their diet and behavior, so I reluctantly put my snacks away.
Later, we went to a place similar to a small zoo. There, I saw turkeys, kangaroos, and koalas. The kangaroos were incredibly muscular, and I didn’t dare to get too close. The smaller ones stayed close to their families, which looked really adorable. After that, I even held a koala and took a photo as a souvenir. Koalas are truly cute—it was still eating leaves while we were taking the picture!
In Melbourne, we also had many fun experiences and saw beautiful scenery. However, I was only nine years old at the time, so unfortunately, I don’t remember much，so I can only share some photos my aunt took.
