Beautiful Beaches

I will introduce some places I went to with my host family. At the weekends, my host family usually stayed in the house and watched movies or read books. Also we went to the beach, did bush walking, or went to grandmother’s house.

 

First of all, I will talk about beaches. If we go to the beach from Armidale, we need to drive at least two hours. I went to Yamba with my host father and sister. Yamba is north of Coffs Harbour. In Yamba, we went on a boat and did many marine sports. For example, I rode a float that was called a biscuit with my host sister. The biscuit was very fast, so we needed to hold onto the strap. It was fun to ride the biscuit. A party was held at my host father’s company, so we could eat and drink free.

 

 

 

Secondly, I went to Port Macquarie where my host grandmother lives. Port Macquarie is south of Armidale. There are very beautiful beaches there. We stayed at her house two nights. In the early morning, we woke up and went to the beach to see the sun rise. I think it was a lovely sunrise. I could meet grandmother there. She was very friendly and kind.

 

 

 

In addition, I went to Coffs Harbour with my friends during holidays. Coffs Harbour is famous for Big Banana. We can see Big Banana and eat bananas.

 

 

Next, I went bush walking. It was first time for me to go bush walking. We walked about three hours. To walk in the bush was very tiring, but we could see beautiful views.

 

I think Armidale is so quiet, but there is a lot of nature. Many people live in the rural areas where there is unspoiled forest and trees. If I did not go to Armidale, I would have never experienced the opportunity to come into contact with nature like this.
