I am continuing down a geographic rabbit hole.
We’re all mostly stuck at home, so I thought I would go traveling with my blog. Each day this week, I’m going to explore a different continent. There are now eight continents, but I’m going to cover the traditional seven. Perhaps later, I’ll explain why we added another one.
Today we are traveling down under to the Australian continent, my number one place to visit. Besides running a half marathon in Alice Springs (and maybe Uluru,) I want to take a couple months and drive around Australia.
I’m getting my information from kids-world-travel-guide.com. Since the continent and the country are the same, this list might be a little different. Let’s explore!
Australia Facts:
- Australia is the smallest continent and the sixth-largest country in the world
