I’m Carrie. I live in the capital of New South Wales, and the largest city in the

country. It’s got everything – fantastic beaches – who hasn’t heard of Bondi beach?

- , the trendiest shops, non-stop nightlife, and only two hours away, you’ve got the

Blue Mountains – breath-taking scenery and fresh air. And the climate here is

fantastic!

I’m Pete and I’m from Melbourne, the capital of Victoria. OK, the weather is a

bit miserable here, but we still have the best culture and sport! Every year, we have

Australia’s top horse racing event here, as well as the Australian Tennis Open and

the Grand Prix. and this city is where Australian Rules Football came from! It’s

not surprising I’m a sports fanatic!

My name’s Sean, and I’m from Perth which lies on the Swann River.

It’s a peaceful, clean place to live with hot weather and brilliant blue

skies. Western Australia has 12 000 km of the best surfing spots in

the world. That’s what I live for – the sea and the surf!

I’m Abbie. I live in the centre of Australia, in the outback. Everyone

comes here to Alice Springs to see the massive red rock, Uluru. I

like the fact that here we are closer to the real Aborigine culture.

I’ve learnt a lot about it. My dad works for the School of the Air,

teaching kids all over the state who live far from a school. So it

really is the heart of the country.

I’m Jordan and I live in Cairns, the perfect place for exploring Australia’s

biggest attraction – the Great Barrier Reef. It stretches over 2 300

kilometres along the Queensland coast. There are more than 1 000

islands, where you can dive, snorkel, sail and swim. Just 25 km north of
