Australia has one of the most diverse environments in the world. It begins in the ancient heart in the desert where we see the remnants of the past. A giant rock protruding from the ground stands as the centre piece, uluru. A rock iceberg, the only remains of an old mountain range. Stained with the red of the desert and surrounded by the sand that it's made of. Further away lies a giant wave frozen in a silent crescendo. Wave rock stands tall, another testament of ages past. As we move further towards the coast the red sand turns to dirt. As we reach a 'station' a farm so vast it even rivals a small country. With paddocks full of cattle grazing freely. Long straight roads form the only connection to urban life. The roar of the road train echoes as it spews out massive dust clouds in its wake. These massive beasts are the king of the road as they haul many trailers keeping australia alive. They bridge the distance between the two worlds. Going further towards the sea the red dirt becomes firmer and the bush is born. This is where the trees start appearing and the mountains rise. Leaves rustle and birds sing. This marks the great divide between city and scrub. The green has come and with it rolling wooded hills holding the outback at bay. From there down to the sea where urbanisation has taken its toll. Most people live tucked between the mountains and the sea in the urban sprawl. Cities stretch right to the beachside with homes dotted as far as the eye can see. Crowds roam the beaches by day and the streets by night. The cities give way to the sea as the pacific stretches away. Down in the depths the reefs stretch out to form the largest coral system in the world. Here lies the great barrier reef in all its glory. Down in the depths the fish swim and make the ecosystem complete. The waves crash overhead, a pulse that never fades. As the tide turns, the journey through this diverse land flows on.
