The pace of life is getting faster and faster. We who study in Australia spend most of our time studying. No matter what, we can't relax ourselves. The best way is to let ourselves get in touch with nature more, which is good for both body and mind! In addition, many natural places are gradually being polluted or destroyed by nature.

Today, I will introduce to you some Australian attractions that are worth visiting and must not be missed!
