Such A Wonderful World: My Dream Holiday

My dream holiday destination will be a trip to Australia. Though there is recent news of flooding in Queensland which put dozens of suburbs in Brisbane and Ipswich under water.
From I know in the tourism website, Australia is the sixth largest country in the world but has a low population density. The beach paradise is wonderful as the coastline stretches almost 50,000 kilometres and is linked by over 10,000 beaches, more than any other country in the world. Australia teems with native animals, from carnivorous Tasmanian devils to short-legged possums, sleepy koalas, powerful kangaroos to the iconic kookaburra. Wow, interesting facts!

I would love to travel to the different cities in Australia. One of them is Sydney which offers fabulous food, festivals and 24-7 fun. From Sydney’s famous harbour, I want to sail past the Opera House on a chartered yacht. I will also want to take a scenic cruise from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour, past waterfront mansions and national parks. I will also want to take in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean as I walk the winding, sea-sculpted sandstone cliffs between Bondi and Coogee beach. I will also want to learn to surf at Bondi Beach and swim in the calm waters of Coogee beach.

Another city will be Melbourne. It is the second biggest city after Sydney. In Melbourne, I will want to shop till I drop on funky Brunswick Street and Chapel Street. I will also want to try out the food and wine at the restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars in Southbank and Federation Square.

The reasons why I choose to go to Australia are because the weather is cooling and nice. Their natural landscapes such as the Great Barrier Reef, Kangaroo Island, Fraser Island and the Red Centre where I can ride a camel across the Simpson Desert are unforgettable.

Since I am looking for multimedia website, it must therefore fulfill the multimedia criteria. The website introduces Australia through different types of multimedia platform such as videos, newsletters and media releases. This is to make the website more interesting and easy for the readers to understand.

The evaluation criteria that I used are coverage, authority and currency. I will check the coverage of the website to make sure that it provides much useful information. For example, it gives me site links which I am able to find out more activities that can be done in that selected place. This is important because readers will want to know more and clearly stated information. Next, I will check the authority of the website to make sure that the information provided are reliable. The official website that I visited is operated by the Australia Tourism Board so I do not have to worry about the reliability as it is managed by the government agency. I will also check the currency of the website. After browsing through the website, all the details such as the destinations to travel and events happening in Australia are all up-to-date.

I logged in to Second Life and went straight to Australia. I explored around and took some screenshots.
