A mix of physical, visual and cultural contrasts is the continent Australia. The first beings who settled here were the Aborigines, who were hunters directly connected to nature. There are several regions here with wide differences.

There is an assumption that it is a land where people enjoy life to the core but in reality, they work really hard during weekdays and enjoy themselves during weekends. The people who enjoy during weekdays are tourists. It is well-known that there are several states in Australia and interestingly, there are separate national parks in each state where people can indulge in activities like rock-climbing or bush-walking. The Great Barrier Reef is worth seeing which is located on the eastern coast. If you are looking for cultural exploration, there are many big cities like Canberra, Perth and Darwin. Since a sea surrounds Australia, the beaches are usually filled with tourists. There are deserts and also rainforests that are worth a visit. The rainforests can be located in Queensland’s wet tropics. One can also have a visit to the foaming waterfalls there. Animals that belong to rare species can be seen in Kakadu National park. Also, old drawings can be witnessed in the Namadri National Park.

Composed of great cities, different cultures, deserts, rare species of animals and great beaches, continent Australia is definitely worth a visit.

Venice, a well known city in Italy, makes an individual a believer of fairy tales. The city is 1500 year old and the only means of transport to the city is water and of course foot. The city looks as if it has nothing except a steady flow of boats and people who keep staring at travelers from other countries. But there is more to it. Many people from various parts of the world come here to celebrate festivals. There is St Mark’s Basilica often referred to as “The church of God”.

Coming to the history, it is similar to Genova, which used waterways to transform itself into a powerful city. The city is famous for its arts which cannot be compared with other cities around. One of the most important places to visit is the Academic Gallery. The city’s masterpieces are displayed here. The bus transportation is also being developed in the city and is simply called as ACTV.

Wood piles were used to construct buildings in Venice. Flood tides occur in the area which often threatens these buildings. These tides occur due to the Adriatic and hence there is an assumption that city is sinking. After banning the artesian walls, there was a slowdown in the sinking process. Some people suggest that lifting the city to a higher point than the sea level will protect the city. Interestingly, recent studies suggested that there would not be sinking in the city but this is quite uncertain. In spite of this, the city can still be considered as a great place to travel to virtually get back to the olden days.
