A World of Adventures

Description

Come with Australian Geographic on a journey around the world to experience adventures of all kinds! In each location - from Africa to Antarctica, you will find adventures designed for thrill-seeking daredevils, from whitewater rafting down Tanzania's Omo River to mountain-biking the Camino de la Muerte in Bolivia. For adventurers seeking cultural experiences, we'll show you how to sail a faluka down the Nile River and send a letter from the Penguin Post Office in Antarctica. Animal-lovers will learn about volunteering with baby pandas in China and flying eagles on the Kazakhstan steppe. For travellers interested in history, we'll explore Stonehenge and the captivating city of Stone Town in Zanzibar. We'll take you on a tour of some of the most incredible wild sights in the world, from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the picturesque sunrise over Uluru. To stay energised on our journey, we'll go on a delicious food tour - eating sausage sizzles in Australia and surstroemming in Sweden. Most importantly, we'll learn how to have amazing adventures like this in our own backyards!
