Year 2013, 2016
Northern Territory is a part of Australia that I dreamed to explore the moment that I landed the country. First reason is the famous landmark it used as recognition across Australia which is the Uluru or Ayers Rocks at the Red Centre, because the region has an impression to me about its exotic nature compared to other parts of the country. I had this vision that I will be in another world or different world that never faded even thousand or million years had passed, though I have no idea what this part of Australia really look like before, it’s just the feeling. For other people, Northern Territory maybe just a barren land and just plain red dessert but for me there’s something in it that I will never feel in the modern city with modern life. Maybe it’s the unique nature it offers or maybe the simple and peaceful life it brings to people who visit this part of Australia.
