Beaches - Post #4

I am going to go to Ocean Beach in Western Australia The capitol of Australia is Sydney. There are no countries bordering Australia. The oceans that border Australia are the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The GPS coordinates are Latitude: -34.986149 / Longitude: 117.282516. Average high is 89.6 degrees in summer and 57.2 in the winter. Ocean Beach is white, a mile long and surrounded by mountains.

Australia has in interesting culture and history. Aboriginals settled there 40,000 years ago. The Dutch came in the 1600s. Albany is near the beach and was settled in the 1800s. In 1890 they had a gold rush and every one came to get gold. People settled down and didn't move. They discovered oil and gas in the 1970s and more people came. The good economy brings people to Australia now.

According to Google, you have to kayak across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, then to Japan, then finally to Australia. Hahahahahahaha. It is 16, 733 miles. By kayak and car it would take over 56 days. I recommend using an airplane. The cost to fly there is $1,691.

The only problem was going by car and kayak. I don't think I can paddle over 3,000 miles between countries and speak Japanese.

The beach in Maine has a pier and the beach in Australia has no pier. There are a lot more people in Maine. There are less people at Ocean Beach. The beach in Australia is hotter in the summer time, but not as cold in the winter.
