 IngusSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Red Mage)"Time to teach you a thing or two about black & white magic."[Australia Act 1-4] *Platypus*  Let's not forget about the Platypus, Crysta. This duck billed creature is warm blooded but lays eggs. Its more of a mammal. Ingus said to Crysta. *Fairy Penguins* Have you seen a flightless bird that migrates not during seasons but with the sun?
South of Victora on the Philip Islands, a rare occurrence happens each day. Before Dawn's Sunrise, a herd of Fairy Penguins, run along the sand and dive into the ocean, spending most of the day searching for food. When the sun sets, it signals the fairy penguins to return home by surfing ashore. Ingus said to Crysta.

IngusSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Red Mage)"Time to teach you a thing or two about black & white magic."[Australia Act 1-4] *Gippsland Earthworms* Burred deep in the dirt within the Southeastern River is a very long worm called the Giant Gippsland Earthworm measuring 9 Feet Long.
Imagine the fish you can catch with that. Ingus said to Crysta. *Sheep* Not all animals are from Australia. Take Sheep for instance. As they were introduced early in history to provide wool. Even today, Australia is the largest exporter of Wool. Ingus said to Crysta. *Camel* The First Camels were brought to Australia in 1840 to bring goods across difficult terrain. They were such a big help as from 1860 to 1904, more camels where brought over from the Far East. Ingus said to Crysta. *End of Act 1* That's all for now, my Nature's beauty. As we hopped with the Kangaroos, surfed with the Penguins, cuddled with the koalas and met Camels in herds. Ingus said to Crysta

 NaomiSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Sage)"All right, should I burn you or freeze you?"[Australia Act 2-4] *Act 2 Introduction*On an Airship we see Pips and Naomi speaking to the Viewers Hello. I'm Naomi and this is Pips are we're down under in Australia. Since we're heading to the biggest city in the land down under. So, next stop... Sydney.
Sydney can be found in Australia which is the largest island and smallest continent. It can be found in the Southern Hemisphere. Although, Aborigines have lived on Australia for thousands of years, the First European Settlers did not appear until 1770 where Captain James Cook was the first to claim Australia.

NaomiSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Sage)"All right, should I burn you or freeze you?"[Australia Act 2-4] *Act 2: Sydney Botany Bay*On an Airship we see Pips and Naomi speaking to the Viewers Captain James Cook was sent to Australia with a huge crew from England. One of the Crew Members was a botanist by the name of Joseph Banks whom recorded the plants that was encountered. Sketching the plants that were discovered. Sounds like that was long before Ferngully was founded.
Normally, a person would send photos back but cameras weren't around back then. The Landing site was named Botany Bay and its still called that over 200 years later. Its one nice place to see if you want a view of Sydney Harbor. Naomi said to Pips

NaomiSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Sage)"All right, should I burn you or freeze you?"[Australia Act 2-4] *Act 2: Hyde Park Barracks*On an Airship we see Pips and Naomi speaking to the Viewers If you get a look at this, you can see what England turned their new settlement into... a Prison. This is called the Hyde Park Barracks and no, its not where you hide you nature spells either. Even today, you could step back in time and act like an inmate living out a sentence where convicts were put to work in various ways as they even built a place to live too. Wait a minute, those aren't images, they're tourists!
Convicts slept in hammock dorms or on the floor should it come to that along with with the rats and I don't mean a Martial Arts Master being a Rat kind either. Naomi said to Pips

NaomiSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Sage)"All right, should I burn you or freeze you?"[Australia Act 2-4] *Act 2: Solway Lass*On an Airship we see Pips and Naomi speaking to the Viewers What you see here is the Solway Lass. Its ships like these that took convicts on an 8 Month voyage from England to Australia. Nowadays, these boats recreate a short version of such a journey. These Tourists posing as convicts preform chores such as cleaning the decks, hoisting the sails, trimming the mast.
If you ask me, these guided tours do have reenactments to show what its like.
This boat uses 10 Sails to help power it through Sydney Harbor. What a minute, is that 20 or 10 sails, we should check out what those extra sails in the distance are for. Naomi said to Pips as we cut to the Sydney Opera House next

NaomiSt. Ivalice Adventurer (Sage)"All right, should I burn you or freeze you?"[Australia Act 2-4] *Act 3: Opera House*On an Airship we see Pips and Naomi speaking to the Viewers Wait a minute. Those aren't sails. It's Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Orchestra thought that Sydney needs an Opera House in 1957 where a Contest was held to design one. Jon Uten, a Denmark Architect heard about the Contest and wanted to enter but has never been to Sydney as he asked for Photos of Sydney Harbor. The Photos had tons of sailboats as that was inspiration for his design.
Speaking of which, you can never have too many sailboats nowadays.
There's over 1 Million Tiles that make up the outside of the Opera House which are Swedish.
Shall we roll onto the next stop? Naomi said to Pips

The Aborigines have lived on Australia for thousands of years. Aborigines are people native to Australia. The Rocks was the First British Colony on Australia which was built in 1788. 200 Years before the Narrator's time. The Rocks is the birthplace of Australia's Firsts such as the Westpac Bank in 1870. Their Museums houses priceless treasures and tells the story of the bank's troubles during the Gold Rush of the 1800s along with its founder, Mary Reiby, being a Reformed Convict and a successful businessman in Australia and there's much more left to see in Sydney. Such as Old Sydney Town where you feel like you're back in time during the 1800s. Naomi said to Pips bump
