Icebergs alongside New Zealand attract tourists

For the second time in four years past the whole fleet of icebergs are coming alongside the coast of New Zealand - perhaps there are more than 100. While certainly dangerous to ocean-going vessels, icebergs, however, attract tourists to the country.

About 96 kilometers from Macquarie Island (about 900 kilometers south of New Zealand) was found 150 meters long iceberg. And in early November, Australian researchers examined a group of 20 icebergs drifting near the island.

The Antarctic ocean currents delivered icebergs to the shores of the archipelago. The question is whether the responsibility for the phenomenon of global warming, has become the subject of heated debate.

On the one hand, because of rising temperatures in recent years icebergs calve from the ice shelves faster than usual. On the other hand, in the waters of New Zealand "icebergs" for a long time do not melt because of the unusually cold weather in the region.

In 2006, a few fragments of ice fields came so nearly to New Zealand that they can be seen from the shore - this happened for the first time in 75 years. Helicopters even had tourists on sightseeing trips to the icebergs, which were inhabited by penguins.

The best place for observing icebergs from shore - this is the South Island. From the North Island, where is situated Auckland - the main air gate of the country, has regularly ferry to the South.

In Australia vacationers will be protected from sharks

In December and January - in those months in Australia accounts for the peak summer heat and the swimming season - the coastal waters off Sydney's beaches will patrol from the air by helicopters. Aerial surveillance will give peace of mind many bathers and surfers who are afraid of sharks.

This year sharks attacked three people in the coastal waters, including - in Sydney Harbour. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but reports of increased activity of predators nervous about having a rest. Bathers lost faith in the reliability of metal mesh, which for decades protects Sydney beaches from invasion of sharks, and demanded additional measures of defense against them. The government chose the helicopter, however, for the recognition of officials, one hundred percent guarantee of security can not give and air patrols.

Experts say that shark off the coast of Australia has increased because of the actions of environmental organizations. In recent years, environmentalists actively induce cleanliness in the beach area of Sydney, so the coast has more ocean fish, and beyond it stretched and predators. In addition, scientists have made protection of many species of sharks that swim in the territorial waters of the continent. This has led to an increase in the population, including sharks and predators.

Fiji Time!

Fiji is well known to be a tropical island state with an ever smiling, friendly locals। However, their friendliness has the other side.

Fiji consists of more than 300 islands, half of which are uninhabited।The 2 main - Viti Levu and Vanua Levu - and focuses mainly on the life of the state. Fiji is a mixture of Polynesian, Indian, European and Chinese cultures, as reflected in virtually everything beginning from cuisine and ending with the architecture and the state languages. Languages of Fiji are the Fijian, Hindi and English.

Be prepared for the fact that even 3-year-olds speak in English, and the older generation will surprise you with an excellent British English. Approximately half of the population - the descendants of Indians who have been taken by the British in the early 20 th century for the development of sugar cane, which is now half of national exports.

Fijians are very friendly and well-wishing. National greeting - 'Bula' - will tell you every person you met. And be sure to ask where you come, your name and shake your hand.

But do not ask for Fiji quick service! You can wait for your lunch for 1.5 hours at the pool, or take a taxi at a speed of 30 km / h - it's normal, everyone will tell you that no hurry, it's Fiji time!


Fijians will never go away somewhere on the single: inviting someone to have a sit down bar for a bottle of beer, be prepared that it, together with the guest will come to at least five people and everyone will drink at your expense.

Do not try to give into the hands of Fijians (cigarettes, pills, hooks, glasses) and lend them money (even $ 5) - no way back, but if you insist, it will offend him for a lifetime. He will stop you smile, shake hands with you, etc. - But will not give you the money back.

Moreover, giving something the Fijians, such as a cigarette, which you yourself got out of the pack, be sure to say: "I give you that cigarette because you did today this and that." Otherwise, your pack of cigarettes will be finished in five minutes, the next day will be the same situation, and God forbid you to refuse him - an insult to life.

A contact with wildlife of New Zealand

New Zealand - one of the countries where it is possible to meet some exotic animals and birds in the natural environment. It should be noted that New Zealand has no predators. Thus, one may not fear to roam the forests and beaches, of course, where the land is not privately owned and is not fenced. A proper respect should be given to New Zealanders, the access to virtually all interesting places is open.

Only in the New Zealand can be found the kiwi bird - the smallest of ostrich family. New Zealand is the only country where the biggest species of albatross lives - royal albatross with a wingspan of more than 3,5 m. 5 species of penguins can also be found only in this country. And of course the lizard tuatara - a unique specimen, preserved to our time since the reign of the dinosaurs.

Penguins are very timid animals and to see them closely enough for photographing distance is very difficult. On the Otago Peninsula there is a special place with a network of tunnels, laid under the ground and a large number of viewing platforms from which it is easy to observe the life of penguins. However, this joy costs 25 NZ dollars per person, and therefore it is better to try to meet the penguins in their natural environment of wild beaches. After lunch, the penguins go out from the sea, and early in the morning, just after sunrise, they go to swim. To go for the "hunting", more correctly in "photohunting" is better in the morning. Morning colors contribute to the good perception of wildlife. The camera without a good zoom in this case is a useless toy. But among the rocks you can find plenty of fur seals at arm's length. They are absolutely not afraid of the man. The main thing is not to feel them inder the foot because they may bite you. Less common are sea lions. Despite their size (and they are very large), they move quickly, so be careful, though, and quite friendly.

it can be said that New Zealand provides a unique opportunity for real contact with nature, untouched by man. Above all, be careful using this opportunity, and do not harm the inhabitants of this strange animal life.

Clubbers Favourite Places in Oceania

Holidays on the Bali Island has become fashionable among young people relatively recently. A few years ago, families came here with children and those who love to expensively relax, but "with a twist." And 3 years ago here have been coming young party people from Los Angeles, from the Canary and Balearic Islands. They have chosen the city of Kut, located on the south-west of Bali, 10 km from the city of Denpasar. Kuta - is a fashionable resort, famous for its magnificent sandy beaches, which are very valued by surfers and other water sports. Yet it is Kuta, thanks to the numerous nightclubs, bars and restaurants, became the center of nightlife in the whole island. Daylight the party outwaits in the aqua-park. You will not find here will dusty hippies - this place is expensive.


Enjoying Ibiza, Barcelona and London, playboys are going to have fun in Malaysia. And not only in the capital Kuala Lumpur, but primarily on the island archipelago of Langkawi. A faithful sign for the clubber: if among vacationers there are many gays, then the place is fashionable. 20-30 years ago it was a gay community that made the Canary Islands a fashionable place. Experienced clubbers are advised to go to Langkawi - there is just more interesting. In just an hour of flight from Kuala Lumpur. Of course, after London there is not much chic here, but still this is compensated with the exotic nature.

The island of Tasmania

To the south of Australia on the "World's End" is the island of Tasmania. It is the smallest state of Australia, the only one that can be overtaken in a few days.

Foreigners, however, as the Australians feel themselves moved into another country. Mountain landscapes reminiscent of New Zealand rather than the Outback. Successive hills, valleys, plateaus, volcanoes and rugged coastline island reminiscent of old England, the Argentine pampas, the African savannah, the Rocky Mountains ... Glaciers slashed majestic mountains and formed the deepest lakes in the central plateau of the island.

Perhaps the only fans of the yacht as opposed to most of us, will not have long to ponder where is Hobart. After all, in the capital of Tasmania each year, the same day and hour that calendar year ends the famous Sydney-Hobart race.

Tasmania is of considerable interest for tourists, both historically and in the natural terms. There are 18 national parks on the island, some of them are in the list of World Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Here is the deepest lake in Australia - St. Clair and the fantastic beauty of karst caves, the age of which is 30 million years.

Of special interest is the fauna of Tasmania, containing several endemic species. On the island inhabits the famous Tasmanian devil (pouch line), whose appearance fully justifies this creepy name. However, local population is not bothered with this species, and many Tasmanians hold this handsome animal as a home pet, instead of cats and dogs. There are wombats, like the cute little teddy bears, small wallabies and possums - quite harmless marsupial mouse, very quickly climbing the trees and feeding with leaves and flower nectar.

The most significant historical landmark of the island - the fortress of Port Arthur, where in the XIX century was deported more than 12 thousand convicts, many architectural masterpieces are and in Hobart.

Most farms are concentrated in the north of the island. It is here to go to try the real Tasmanian honey or local cheeses and beer. Farmers specializing in exotic crops such as poppy, hops or lavender (here is the largest lavender farm in the southern hemisphere), grow a lot of tulips.

In general, life in the modern Tasmania is unhurried and hasteless. Most of the 473 thousand island's population lives in the 2 largest cities, Hobart and Launceston. There is no intense urban rhythms, crowding, traffic jams and smog here. Around are apple orchards, vineyards, the tumult of primordial nature. The landscape itself is diverse: vast eucalyptus and pine forests, bush boscages - Australian bush, protected river valleys, deserted beaches, mountain ranges. Much of the island is still not mastered by man. A quarter of its territory is covered by 20 national parks. One of these wildlife reserve Bonorong is not far from Hobart. Here is where you can see the charming relic animals as the Tasmanian devil. Unfortunately, you will not find here the local population - the last aborigine died on the island Bruni-ironically, the only patch of Tasmania, visited by the famous Captain Cook.

Koala - famous Australian 'Bear'

Koala is a cute Australian animal, reminding the teddy bear. Many even call it "Koala bear", but this is incorrect, because the koala has nothing to do with bears.

Koala is a lazy animal, he sleeps about 20 hours a day. Koala feeding on many species of eucalyptus leaves, which uneatable for most other animals.

The word "Koala" came from the aborigines vocabulary, it means "do not drink." This is surprising, but the koala is actually receives moisture from the eucalyptus leaves and therefore does not need to drink. Otherwise, for slow koalas it would be too difficult, if it is not possible to get to a fresh water source.

It is hard to believe that 100 years ago, koalas were on the verge of extinction. People are almost completely wiped out these lovely animals for the sake of valuable furs.
Now, koala is under reliable protection, and from year to year, their numbers are increasing.
Koala is not so common animals like kangaroos, and they are not so often seen in the wild form. Nevertheless, there are many places where koalas are found in abundance, such as Otway National Park in Victoria, or a Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is curious that koalas not found in Tasmania and Western Australia.

Shooting kangaroos...

Despite loud protests from defenders of wild animals, the Australian Government has raised this year's quota for shooting kangaroos, setting it at 6.9 million animals. Australian meat industry and the kangaroo leather is thriving, earning more recently for 128 million dollars a year.

Australia has always been a difficult relationship with his marsupial sanctuary. Kangaroo, along with ostrich Amy strut on the arms of the country, whole generations of children have grown up in 1960 and 1970 on the television series about "Skippy" such as Russia's friend spectator series "Lassie." Sami themselves Australians call "wallabies", as well as not very large kangaroo (both New Zealanders call themselves "kiwi").

But the farmers consider them pests, and complain that they eat the sheep and grass crops. And drivers in rural areas are forced to stay with the sunset to dawn on the roadside, so as not to face the swift symbols of the state.

The most amazing thing is that in the last decade, Australians began to consume the meat of marsupials for food after the Australian states in the early 1990's, one after another abolished the appropriate ban. But the mass sale of kangaroo meat in supermarkets has still not: many Australians warps the idea to eat a steak "Skippy" (just try to imagine an American restaurant, orders a "Lassie" with blood or well-done!) But-known chefs extol the low-fat kenguroo meat with the aroma of this game. They come even talk about breeding these animals for meat farms.

Meanwhile, the first European settlers perceived the kangaroo in the first place as the game, as the main source of meat. The government hired a hunter settlements obliged exiled to Australia criminals shoot a kangaroo, to provide the population with food. Farmers ejected them as competitors of their sheep. Flourished even sport hunting of kangaroos like the British foxhunting.

The defenders of wildlife do not doubt, but fierce objections. In Britain, they have a ban on the sale kenguroo meat in supermarkets and are fighting for a ban on clothing and shoes from kangaroo skin (especially popular sports shoes).

"It is a cruel, disgusting industry - is outraged Maryland Wilson, one of the most stubborn defenders kangaroos in Australia. Kangaroo - a sacred animal. It is a symbol of Australia. But it is a symbol, stained with blood.

Because of the constant attacks kangaroo industry is trying not to attract attention and constantly stresses that shooting is humane methods. The animals were allowed to kill only a shot in the head. As a result, only the professional hunters, who have a special license, can lead shooting. But the battle around him did not subside.

Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef

Coral Sea and onto the north-eastern coast of Australia, receives its name from the abundance of coral reefs and islands. The Great Barrier Reef, stretching along the north-eastern coast of Australia for 2000 kilometers, the most unique coral formation in the world. The width of the reef in the northern part of the average of two kilometers to the south, it increases, sometimes reaching 150 kilometers. The Reef is separated from the mainland by a lagoon, which reaches a depth of 50 meters. The Great Barrier Reef is intersected by natural channels and canals.

Reef recalls half-submerged fortifications, consisting of almost 2,900 individual reefs and 71 islands. Its age -10 000 years. This is a giant blob of life, which represents hundreds of living organisms.

You can gaze the corals for hours. That's where the whirlpool of life, that's where her extraordinary diversity: from tiny plants to huge giants, corals, sponges, turtles, sea stars and sea urchins, fish and worms. Bright spots sponges scattered limestone hills, and hollows visible massive claws of large crabs. Only under the water you can really see the multicolored coral, which is not in the faint copies of the representatives of the underwater kingdom, exhibited in museums.

Those who visit the Great Barrier Reef, should wish to undertake the journey along the reef is a very exciting and informative class. Around the blue, with shades of turquoise, sea, light breeze makes the sun burn you. Brown noldi - they are for some reason called "dumb Tern" - will accompany you on the road, something talking. A whole flock of dolphins can swim for about an hour together. Some occasionally fall on its side, and, slyly winking his eyes, you see. Others jump out of the water, grunting with pleasure. The water is so transparent that shows how all the bottom of this coral is overgrown with forest. There is a large rounded masses of coral, mushroom, tree, branching, plate. A palette of colors will leave envious any artist.

The main whip of the Great Barrier Reef are pirates - poachers. On the horizon can be seen fast boats, which instantly turn aside, seeing foreign boats. These barbarians literally gnaw Great Barrier Reef, breaking off the most beautiful corals, after which they begin to die.
Saving the Great Barrier Reef from destruction is a universal problem!!!
