To begin ..... the farm in Murwillumbah was more 'big-expected although here call it "small" ... and after all 'only 400 acres!
The first day Uncle John took us for a ride on his track for his estate ... What a laugh! I seemed to be back with small "travel" on the tiller of his grandfather!
Through these explorations I could see many wallabies, kangaroos in size a bit 'more' small that I have learned out into the open at sunset when the earth and 'hot but not there 's just too much sun ... John taught me about the gum trees and various types of plants you can found in Australia, the difference between Bush and the tropical forest that we saw at the end of the week, how to raise bees and how to dress so as not to attract them, the importance of fire for the flora and fauna of these areas and so on. .. I received lessons in botany and zoology in Australia!
The following two days we have passed at home in bed or lying on the hammock to suffer in silence from our influence pecking cousin Julia! what luck! However I was able to better observe the typical Queenslander farm-house in wood, whose axes can be seen the light outside, with a large veranda that surrounds it, colored, without hot water and with almost zero reception for TV channels and mobile!
But we were more 'lucky to Thursday': trip to Byron Bay The Most Esterly point of Australia, Where the Sun Set first!
From the lighthouse, lookout, we were able to see the entire coastline, dolphins that performed for us and also very near two whales during their migration north for the winter!
Byron Bay, the Golden Coast, and 'locality' bathing more 'tourist in Australia ... for a good reason ... the beaches! The beaches are something wonderful! miles and miles of coastline of white sand on which to break gently warm and big waves of the Pacific Ocean ... Caribbean picture! ..... ..... I could not pass up the chance ..... ..... I had a bath in Australia !!!!!! dungeon! and 'was crazy because it was quite late and a cold winter wind blowing but I had to do it!
back home waiting for us a magnificent starry sky You could see the entire Milky Way, the Southern Cross shining to show the South Pole and Venus, Saturn and Jupiter as beacons. what a show! I have never had the opportunity 'to see a sky so' in Italy, too much light, too much chaos, while in the valleys and around Australia 's so dark and quiet, peaceful (also because' a house is at least part 5 minutes by car!).
Friday 'and' was the turn of the tropical forest ... beautiful! very confused, shadowy, mistreriosa, if you are left almost completely surrounded by huge trees ...
... and then there 'was Brisbane! I think I love Brisbane maybe 'cause our guides, and Chris Phillips-Genève, cel'hanno made really appreciate taking us to see all the scenic spots of the city'.
It reminded me a lot of Europe: despite the high rises and modernity 'of all buildings un'atrosfera family was in the air ... maybe it was the river, or perhaps find the pedestrian areas, or maybe people ... I do not know! we took the ferry and traveled for two hours along the river and back, and it was strange to see how the skyscrapers amalgamated well with the green parks and the river current ... We have to go back!
... lol... :-D
