Our
Precious Memories in Australia !!
Nozomi Seki and Ayako
Miyazaki
We went to Australia
during last spring vacation. We spent two weeks together and had
a very good time.
We both stayed with
host families in Manly. Both host families were very kind.
We'll tell you about
Manly. Manly is famous for many beautiful beaches. It is called
"a mecca of surfing".
In Manly, there is a
main street whose name is Corso Street. There are many shops of
surfing goods, foods and so on. This street is crowded with many
visitors and Australians on holiday.
We went to the same school
"International House Sydney." Our campus is located
at Sydney's favorite surfing and tourist resort. It features spacious
recreation areas and panoramic views of the harbour and beach,
and is just a short trip from the city centre by car or ferry.
Our school offered us many club activities. For example tennis,
football, bush walk, surfing, beach volleyball, party on a cruiser,
barbecue (barbie), and dinner at the AMP Tower. We enjoyed participating
in various activities.

Surfing
We surfboarded on Friday.
This was the first experience for us. It was too difficult for
us to stand on the surfboard. The great waves in Manly were not
in the same class as those in Japan. However it made us more excited
and we were absorbed in it.
Please look at the picture

Dinner at the AMP
Tower
One night we went to
the city centre to have dinner with schoolmates. A part of the
tower is Australia's most spectacular revolving restaurant. We
could experience breathtaking 360 degrees views of the city, plus
the coastal beaches and Blue Mountains in the distance. We went
up the tower and had a buffet party. It was delicious. We could
look down on the fantastic night view from the top of the tower.
We were satisfied with them very much.
Please look at the picture
below. It's the highest tower in Sydney!
