Pick A Country - Australia

Blog City - Day 999

Write about geography. Pick a random place on a map and write about it. If you haven't been there, imagine what it would be like.
Some of you are participating in 30 Day's Down Under Unofficial December so please take advantage and tell us about Australia.

After NaNoWriMo I am burnt... I haven't written seriously in three days... and now I am playing Christmas catchup... so I opted out of the 30 Day's Down Under Unofficial December blogging challenge... . Australia would be a great place to go... virtual or real. My mother took a trip down there several years ago at Christmas time. She loved it.
The 30 Dayers's are starting their challenge in Western Australia... not the typical Australian holiday starter point.

But unlike here in Canada, it would be late spring there... now that would be nice to experience.... though, I'm sorry, my Christmas needs snow. Santa comes in a sleigh, not in one pulled by gators.
One website talked of Christmas similar to ours... with a few variations:
"Other families head for the backyard barbie to grill their Christmas dinner in the sunshine. Many families even go to the beach or to the countryside and enjoy a picnic of cold turkey or ham and a salad. Father Christmas has been known to show up in shorts to greet children at the beach on Christmas!"
That is just too funny!

I was enthralled.

Only a short drive from Perth, Shoalwater Islands Marine Park is a place where penguins, sea lions, dolphins, rocky reefs, seagrass and shipwrecks converge.
