Mountains: The Himalayas.




I am nearly half way on my trip and I have just finished my most challenging but rewarding event yet...The Himalayas. These mountains have the best view in the world. Going into the clouds feeling like you’re on top of the world. These mountains are rough and I have been getting a lot of cuts but my hands are numb so I cant feel the pain.

Coral Reef: Great Barrier Reef







This reef is one of the most beautiful things on earth. The fishes swim right past you and the Water is calm, the feel of this place is amazing with all the colour and movement. You just imagine it as a busy street with hardly any sound.
This reef is listed as one of the world’s heritage sites.

Desert: The Simpson Desert




The Simpson Desert is a hot and dry desert stretching almost 200 000 square kilometers of central Australia, mostly in the Northern Territory's south-east but also in parts of South Australia and Queensland. Rainfall is less than 400 millimeters per year.
The sand banks are hard to climb, especially as you keep thinking you keep going over the same one all the time.

Coast's: Avoca beach




Avoca beach is a very welcoming place. Lots of grassy areas and it smells of the ocean. The beach is magnificent, at night you hear the waves breaking as you hear the wind lightly whistling around you, warm but cold at the same time.
The land is very hilly going up and down as you drive.
Avoca beach is a sort of tourist town built on a mountain with lovely houses.
