Australia

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Takuma. Today, our group is going to talk about Ayers Rock and Great Barrier Reef. These are the World Heritage of Australia. First let me talk about history of Ayers Rock.

It is located at the center of Australia. It is the second largest rock in the world. That’s why it is often said “Navel of the earth”. The height is 335 meters、surroundings are ten kilometers. We can climb up to the top of this big rock.

It was discovered by a British explorer in 1873 and it was named for Henry Ayers who is a governor general in Australian colony. In 1987, it was registered in the World Heritage of UNESCO.
