Impact of Australian Mountain Fire on Tourism
Australia is a place with very good natural environment. It was once called the paradise of life, and many people went there to travel every year. However, since September 2008, the burning mountain fires in Australia have lasted for more than four months, causing serious ecological damage and environmental pollution. Many people are asking whether Australia can still travel today.

Can Australia still travel?

However, such a scene may not last completely in the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rat. The mountain fire that lasted for nearly four months in Australia had a certain impact on the local tourism industry, and the smoke caused by the mountain fire even floated over New Zealand. According to the latest news released by the Consulate General of China in Sydney, recently, residents of Chinese mainland and Hong Kong who are visiting relatives and traveling in the local area contacted the Consulate General of China in Sydney, saying that the road traffic was interrupted and the flight was cancelled due to the mountain fire, and the relevant personnel had been evacuated to the emergency rescue place provided by the local government.

According to related reports, the Australian mountain fires that began in September 2008 have intensified. By June 6, 65438, nearly 60,000 square kilometers of land had been burning, and the fire had caused 24 deaths. According to ecologists from the University of Sydney, 500 million mammals, birds and reptiles have died since the mountain fire broke out in Australia last September. In this fire, New South Wales, Australia suffered the most. It is reported that the continuous mountain fire has seriously damaged the local tourism industry, and its business is only one-third of that of the same period last year. In addition, the air pollution index (PM2.5 value) in Canberra, the capital of Australia, even ranked first, reaching 3463. Generally speaking, if the PM2.5 index exceeds 200, it is considered as severe pollution.

Mountain fire continues

Up to now, more than 6.5438+million hectares of land have been swallowed up and burned by the fire, which is equivalent to the land area of Austria. The fire has killed 24 people and nearly 500 million animals (birds, mammals and reptiles) have died in the fire. 500 houses were destroyed and thousands of people were forced to flee and be displaced.

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and the only country in the world whose territory covers the whole continent. This is a continent surrounded by oceans, with the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Indian Ocean in the west. It faces Indonesia in the northwest of Australia and New Zealand in the southeast across the sea. Australia is rich in products, and is known as "the country riding on the back of sheep", "the country sitting on the harvester" and "the country holding the ears of wheat".

Australia has beautiful natural scenery and rare animal and plant resources: Dayang Road, blue mountains national park, Great Barrier Reef and Uluru are the most unique natural scenery in Australia; Kangaroos, koalas, platypus and Tasmanian devils are rare animals only seen in Australia.

Australia

It used to be the first farm in Australia, close to Sydney Opera House and CBD, and separated from Sydney Opera House by a narrow bay. Its unique geographical location makes it a must-see for tourists. Mrs Macaulay's stone chair is located at the northern end of the Botanical Garden, which is the best position overlooking the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Many postcards we saw were taken here. This is an open and good place, with open scenery, quiet and peaceful, large lawn and many rest chairs. The municipal government is also located in the botanical garden, which can be visited at ordinary times.

Hundreds of birds live on the islands and sandbars of the Great Barrier Reef, including reef herons, osprey, frigate birds and seahawks. At the same time, the reef is also of great cultural significance, and there are many archaeological sites of indigenous people or Torres Strait Islanders here. Some famous examples include Lizard Island and Hinchinbrook Island, where there are some wonderful rock paintings.

Great Barrier Reef

PhillipIsland is famous because Xialu Beach near NobiPoint at the southwest end of the island is a protected area for elf penguins. This penguin is the smallest penguin in the world, only 30 centimeters high. At sunset, penguins can be seen flocking from the sea to their nests. It's interesting to hang around together because we are small. It's quite cold along the coast in winter, and summer in the southern hemisphere (165438+1October-March of the following year) is better. If you hold a telescope, you can see seals and seals perched on rocks from Nobby Point.
