TV chef Jamie Oliver has been working Down Under this week, as he launches his second Ministry of Food in Melbourne.
The scheme, which is being backed by the Victorian Government with a $2.87 million investment and $2.54 million from The Good Foundation, aims to tackle obesity by teaching children the importance of eating well.
Jamie was launching his campaign in Melbourne but there are plenty of other amazing sights in the Lucky Country. So where should you visit?
Great Barrier Reef
Probably Australia’s most famous sight, the Great Barrier Reef is truly breathtaking. It is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and the largest coral reef on Earth. Situated off the North West coast of Australia, the reef comprises more than 3,000 individual reef systems and coral cays.
Uluru
Uluru (or Ayers Rock), is a large, sandstone rock formation located in the middle of Australia.
It is 443km (275 miles) from the nearest large town (Alice Springs), and attracts millions of visitors every year. It’s easy to see why, the monolith rises magnificently from its Outback surroundings.
Tasmania
Australia is full of natural beauty and wildlife, but some of the best is reserved for the island of Tasmania – off the South coast of the country.
More than a third of the island is designated as a reserve, a National Park, or a World Heritage Site – giving you an idea of the extensive natural beauty of Tasmania.
