213587C3-659F-4615-9155-8Ac37b36704d.Pdf Australien ist der kleinste Kontinent der Welt und vereint dennoch – oder gerade deshalb – eine Viel- falt der Extreme, die Abenteuer pur verspricht. Der fünfte Kontinent, wie Australien auch genannt wird, grenzt im Westen an den Indischen Ozean und im Osten an den Pazifik. Aufgrund der isolierten geografi- schen Lage, konnte sich hier eine einzigartige Flora und Fauna entwickeln, die man nirgendwo sonst auf der Erde findet. Eukalyptusbäume, Kängurus und Koalabären symbolisieren dieses wunderbare Land auf unverkennbare Weise. 360° – AUSTRALIEN ist eine faszinierende Fotoreise in ein Land voller Superlative mit endlosen Wüsten, dichten Mangrovenwäldern, hochmodernen Metropolen und dem größten Korallenriff der Erde. € (D) 29,95 / € (A) 30,80 ISBN 978-3-95504-076-5 www.kunth-verlag.de »Wir alle sind Besucher dieser Zeit und diesem Ort.

The solar panels, wind turbines and rainwater tanks that power and quench this island are hidden from view. And the beach shacks are illusory, for though Pumpkin Island has been used by families and fishermen since 1964, it has been recently reimagined by managers Wayne and Laureth Rumble as a stylish, eco- conscious island escape. The couple has incorporated all the elements of a casual beach holiday – troughs in which to rinse your sandy feet, barbecues on which to grill freshly caught fish and shucking knives for easy dislodgement of oysters from the nearby rocks – without sacrificing any modern comforts. Pumpkin Island’s seven self-catering cottages and bungalows (accommodating up to six people) are distinguished from one another by unique decorative touches: candy-striped deckchairs slung from hooks on a distressed weatherboard wall; linen bedclothes in this cottage, waffle-weave in that; mint-green accents here, blue over there.
