墨尔本十二门徒石是位于澳大利亚维多利亚州大洋路坎贝尔港国家公园内的石灰岩海蚀柱群，因形态酷似耶稣十二门徒而得名，现存7座独立岩体，形成于2000万年前的海浪侵蚀作用是澳大利亚最具标志性的自然景观之一。
The Twelve Apostles / ’p sl/ in Melbourne are a group of limestone sea stacks /st k/(一堆) located within Port Campbell National Park along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Named for their resemblance(相似)to the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, seven independent rock formations remain today. Formed by wave erosion around 20 million years ago, they are one of Australia's most iconic natural landmarks.

Blog 1 Preparing to travel 25 Sep
Next week I’m travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some research on the country. Located to the south of the equator, below many other countries on the globe, it's often informally referred to as "down under". I have also read about some iconic sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can’t wait to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their culture, food and way of life.

Blog 2 First impressions - food 1 Oct
I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived, my friend has brought me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me, so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food ! A lot of typical Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British. Bakeries, fast-food joints, butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian versions of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim.

Blog 3 Aborigines and the didgeridoo 3 Oct
My friend and I have arrived in Katherine, a town in Australia’s Northern Territory. We’re here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines, who are native to Australia. The Aboriginal population might be small, but its influence is still visible. For example, “Bondi” in “ Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning "water breaking over rocks”.

Blog 3 Aborigines and the didgeridoo 3 Oct
To survive in this vast land on the ocean, the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature. This shows in their music too, which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground, among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.
/’sp r t l/ adj. 精神的/心灵的
Blog 3 Aborigines and the didgeridoo 3 Oct
The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow. To play the didgeridoo, you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn, there are no finger holes. The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch. A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe. He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo. I tried to learn how to play it, but after trying for hours, I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument.
迪吉里杜管是澳大利亚土著部落的传统乐器，已有1500多年的历史，也是世界上最古老的乐器之一，由桉树制成，制造这种乐器的过程很有趣，土著人利用白蚁啃食树木的习惯，把小桉树的树干砍下来，插在白蚁洞穴上，如此一来，白蚁得到原料，土著人得到了心爱的乐器。

Blog 4 Reflections on multiculturalism(多元文化) 6 Oct
It's almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia. I've enjoyed my time here very much. After being here for a while, my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation. Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture, minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants. It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.

Blog 4 Reflections on multiculturalism(多元文化)
How does Australian culture consist of
“Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture” 澳大利亚作为英国的殖民地,起初并不被重视。因为离亚洲太远,而且当时还是个不毛之地。为此,英国是将其视作“流放之地”。1788年1月，英国开始向澳大利亚流放罪犯，以解决监狱人满为患的问题，第一舰队由11艘船只组成，载着730多名罪犯在澳大利亚植物学湾（悉尼东南部）登陆。殖民开始了。随着殖民的开始，西方文化也随之流入这片土地。
Blog 4 Reflections on multiculturalism(多元文化) 6 Oct
Personally speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went.
After experiencing Australia, I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan：“There’s nothing like Australia”.
