Charters Towers!

So we have been trying to figure out how to get to the Australian Outback, as we feel like it is a place we should visit. We talked to a bunch of Australian's and they said that if we wanted to see the Outback where there were red dirt roads, we would have to take a flight that would be pretty expensive. But they mentioned this place called Charters Towers, which is about an hour and a half from campus, and it is considered the Outback. Sara, Becca, Siena and I were so excited to go, but we just needed to figure out a ride. Leighton was nice enough to offer to take us. We ended up going in the afternoon so we could stay and enjoy the sunset. Oh my goodness. It was so beautiful. Looking out, you saw a gorgeous scenery of land. As the sun was setting, I just sat on a rock, and thought to myself how fortunate I am to have this opportunity. Not many people are given the chance to study abroad, let alone they take the opportunity. I am so blessed and thankful that I have such supportive parents, who allowed me to travel across the world. This was so peaceful and relaxing, and it was so comforting sharing this moment with my best friends.



These two pictures above were taken on our ride there. The view somewhat reminded me of Elizabethtown, lots of land and cows!














The picture above shows a wallaby just hanging out! Although words are unable to express how beautiful this was, I hope that pictures help you understand how truly amazing it was. I am so glad that I was able to say that I watched the sunset in the Australian Outback.
