Listening text G’day mates and welcome to Australia. If you are looking for fun and exciting things to do, there’s a lot to choose from. You can enjoy the shops and museums in our cities, explore the vast Australian outback or dive into one of the oceans around our country.

The Australian term for hiking is “bushwalking”. You don’t have to travel too far to find wildlife and scenery in Australia. Only a few hours outside of Sydney, you’ll find breath- taking scenery and all the excitement of the outback. A bushwalk in the Australian outback is an opportunity

to get close to the nation’s rich wildlife and beautiful wild flowers --- and you’ll get good exercise at the same time! If you prefer riding a bike, there are thousands of kilometres of paths that will take you right into the heart of the many mountains in the outback. There’s no better place for two- wheeled

Adventure: you will sail through the clouds and feel the wind in your hair. If you are willing to get wet, then head for the beach. With large waves and endless beaches, Australia is an attraction for surfers and ocean lovers from all over the world. And don’t forget to go for a dive into the ocean to

see the amazing colours and shapes of the magical underwater world!

Listening text You mustn’t forget about safety. Australia is a beautiful country, but it can also be dangerous. The outback is very large and the climate is rough. Before you set out on a hike, you should let someone know where you are going and when you plan to get back. You

should never go alone and you must make sure to bring enough water. Good shoes, clothes and first-aid kit should also be part of your basic equipment. It you want to dive or surf, you must first be a good swimmer and you must make sure that the beach is safe. The environment is precious and we

must be careful not to destroy it. Bring out what you bring in --- that is, don’t know rubbish in the wildness or the ocean. Nor should you make a fire unless it’s absolutely necessary. In fact, there are times of the year when no fires are allowed at all. You should also find out about other rules that help to

protect the environment. If we all act responsibly, Australia’s beautiful outback and beaches will be around for future generations to enjoy.
