Amazing Race- Fourth Location

My fourth stop is the Burdekin River delta, In Queensland Australia. The capital is Brisbane. The countries bordering Queensland are the Northern Territory, New south Wales and South Australia. The two oceans surrounding this are the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The GPS coordinates are 3615.00 S, 0935.63 E. The weather is Very hot and humid, but very nice! Australia is beautiful with buildings and animals of many kinds! My favorites are the kangaroo and koala. The history of Australia began when dutch explorers first sighted the landmass in the 17th century. Theres nothing important that we chose about this place but I always have wanted to go there so its quite a experiment. It is 10,143.17 miles away from the Mississippi River Delta. I got to my fourth location by an air plane and rental car to travel in Australia. and No i didn't have any layovers but I had to switch a couple planes. It cost $2,350 to travel there including the hotel room flight and rental car, taxes included. I am feeling very good about my traveling and having a lot of fun in all the places I have gone too! and I'm excited to go to my two other destinations.
