Sunday, 8 March 2009 @ 22:05 When I think about Australia, there are 2 things that strike my mind; The Sydney Opera House and The Great Barrier Reef.
I once came across a brochure about the Sydney Opera House, although the brochure was talking about haunted dwellings in Australia. It mentions though that even though the Sydney Opera House was a newly built building, it already has ghosts inhabiting in it. That is of course, very interesting to find out about. The structure of the Sydney Opera House too, sparks a curiosity in me as to how the designer had actually inspired to have an Opera House made like that, and how it would look on the inside! I never knew what the exact meaning of the Great Barrier Reef mean but I suppose in simple English context, great means it is too fantastic while barrier would be referred as a blockage and a reef is where all the corals of the ocean floor live in so in other words, The Great Barrier Reef basically means A fantastic blockage made of plenty of corals! I have only seen corals on television when there are documentary shows. The most insightful would be the Blue Planet. Having to see it on a square screen is already too beautiful and magnificent as captured by the film underwater, but if one is able to not only see but touch and experience it, one will surely never ever forget the experience. Extraordinarily though, there is only one possible movie I know that has most likely showed both of what would fascinate me the most about Australia and that movie is of course none other than Finding Nemo. A scene of the Sydney Opera House was captured during the Finding Nemo movie and the East Australian Current was also "showed" in the movie. What was the best about the movie was that it showed of the different kinds of fishes living in the ocean. It showed of the green sea turtle, known to be extinct soon perhaps because of its excessive hunting. I did not miss any of the corals that was showed too and the jellyfishes, even though it was cartoon, together with the documentary Blue Planet and Finding Nemo, my conclusion is that the ocean is just truly majestic. As I end my post, Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef, you are treasures of Australia that I have yet to experience! |
