Hi Frań

Thanks for your email. Tm so glad that you want to come to Australia. It's a very interesting country, with lots to see.

I come from Sydney, in the east of Australia. There are a lot of big cities in the east. But now I live in Perth, in the west. Perth is also a big city with lots of shops, and it's got some lovely squares. The Great Barrier Reef is in the north of the country and there are some very nice beaches there. There are deserts in the centre and in the east there are some long, wide rivers and famous beaches. We've also got mountains in the south.

You see, Australia is very good I hope you
