I got to choose somewhere I wanted in Australia. I
chose Western Australia.
With my project there was a speech also.
My speech was about Wave Rock.
I chose Wave Rock because the rock is shaped like
a huge wave - now that's cool.
Wave Rock is found in Western Australia.
My speech was supposed to go for 2 minutes but it
took 1 minute 57 seconds.
And this is my speech:
Wave Rock is an amazing rock that is shaped like a giant surf wave that is about to break! It is found in Western Australia, 3 kilometres from the town of Hyden. But you can also visit Wave Rock as a day trip from Perth. Scientists think Wave Rock might be 27 million years old. The rock is made of red & grey Granite strips. It has brown-black algae streaks running down it. The colour of Wave Rock changes at different times during the day as the light changes. In springtime there are beautiful wildflowers around the rock too, so it's a lovely place to visit! The wave is 15 metres high and 100 metres long. The Wave Rock Weekender is a festival held at Wave Rock every year in September. This year's festival actually just finished on Monday. It's a music and camping festival. People can celebrate nature and music. In the same area as Wave Rock there are hundreds of other interesting rock formations. Some of the famous ones are called Hippos Yawn, The Humps, Camel Peaks and King Rocks. Another nearby place called Bats Cave has wonderful Aboriginal rock art. Since there are a lot of interesting attractions in this area that people like to visit, they built a coffee shop, a wildlife park, a copy Pioneer Town and a Wildflower Shop. If you ever get the chance to go to Western Australia, try to go and visit Wave Rock because it's a really amazing place.
