I know I was only meant to pick one place but I’m picking two 😉
Ever since I heard about Coober Pedy I’ve been counting down the days until I can finally see it. Coober Pedy is a town 850 km north west of Adelaide where the residents live underground. They do this to stay out of the scorching hot heat. I’m stoked to find out why living underground keeps the people of Coober Pedy cool. I’m also curious to see how the idea came to be and why they decided to pull through with the idea. I can’t wait to find out all these things on our trip! I feel very lucky that we’ve booked a night in an underground hotel in Coober Pedy. I can’t wait to see what the temperature difference is underground compared to outside and how people manage to live in these dugouts they’ve built. The pictures look really cool!
I’m also extremely excited to visit Daintree National Park. The Daintree is an area that is famous for its magnificent wildlife but also for its man eating crocodiles. I found out a few years ago a 3 year old was eaten by these crocodiles due to her parents letting her swim in croc infested waters. The reason crocodiles patrol the beaches of the Daintree is due to the rainforest meeting the salt water ocean. This creates the perfect habitat for the crocodiles and it’s why people have to be extremely careful in this area. Although the crocodiles are extremely exciting I’m also intrigued to see and photograph the rest of what the Daintree has to offer.
I can’t wait to start my trip around Australia and I know how lucky I am to be able to experience this adventure. It’s unreal to think I’ll be able to discover the history of my country. I’m stoked for my trip and I can’t wait to share with you all my experiences on our journey.
Sincerely, James.
