VISITING NIAGARA FALLS

Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that cross the international border
between the Canadian province of Ontario and the USA’s state of New York. They form the southern
end of the Niagara Gorge. From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the
American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie on the Canadian side and the
American Falls on the American side. They are separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls
are also located on the American side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island. There are
various attractions that people can enjoy in Niagara Falls, six of them are described here.
The first to enjoy in Niagara Falls is Cave of the Winds. This attraction helps people get closer
to the falls and go face-to-face with the pounding waters of the Falls. People can get soaked on the
Hurricane Deck where they are just feet from the thundering waters. Waterproof clothing and sandals
are provided. A trip at night when the Falls are illuminated in a rainbow of colour is really amazing.
The second charm is Maid of the Mist Boat Tour. It is a world-famous scenic boat tour of the
American and Canadian Falls for about a half-hour ride. People may access the tour via the
Observation Tower elevator at Prospect Point in the state park. The boat operates mid-May until late
October.

I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World
which is at surfers’ Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had a
wonderful day there.
The first thing I saw was the Oceanorium where you can watch all sorts of sea fish and animal
under water. There were huge turtles, sharks, and a beautiful tropical sea fish. The most exciting
thing was watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the
performance of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor swimming pool. There were killer
whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all sort of fantastic things in the water. One of the
girls in the show rode around the pool on the back of killing whale, and another girl rode
underwater on the back of a big turtle. After the saw I had lunch. There were several big
restaurants at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shape like a ship! Then I watched
a wonderful water-ski show which was held on a lake.
There were lots of other things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big
water slide, swimming pools, and an incredible roller coaster called the ‘corkscrew’- because it
goes three loops upside down. But I wish I had gone on the roller coaster ride before lunch rather
than after it!
