The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of late modern architecture by Jørn Utzon that pushed architecture and engineering to new limits, and which has had an enduring influence on late 20th century architecture and beyond. The design represents an extraordinary interpretation and response to the setting in Sydney Harbour.
Today, the Sydney Opera House is one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world, each year staging up to 2500 performances and events, drawing around 1.5 million patrons, and attracting an estimated four million visitors.
The Sydney Opera House was inscribed on the World Heritage list in 2007. source

Sydney Harbour Bridge's construction was a major event in Australia's history. Its opening in 1932 was pivotal in the development of modern Sydney and a focus for national optimism in the depths of the Great Depression. The Harbour Bridge has become an enduring national icon and the subject for many of Australia’s foremost artists. It is one of the world's greatest arch bridges. Although not the longest arch span in the world, its mass and load capacity are greater than other major arch bridges, and no other bridge in Australia compares with its technical significance. The bridge was the most costly engineering achievement in modern Australia, and although more than 80 years old, has still not reached its loading capacity. source

 About 5 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident.
 Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
 Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "The situation is under control. The influence of the contaminated water is completely blocked within Fukushima. There are no health-related problems until now and there will never be health problems." He also said that "Tokyo is 250 kilometers away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Tokyo. Tokyo is a very safe city."
 As PM Abe said, Australia is very far away from Fukushima too, Aussie have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident in Japan. They have already forgotten the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, because they think radioactive materials cannot reach there.
 We know there is no problem for childbirth and child rearing in Australia. So Australian people are living without any concern about the accident. I continue to visit various places in the world to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.

SCENIC WORLD, BLUE MOUNTAINS AUSTRALIA

SCENIC WORLD, BLUE MOUNTAINS AUSTRALIA

 Less than two hours from Sydney, Scenic World is renowned for providing the ultimate Blue Mountains adventure - from native birdlife and fresh air, to breathtaking views of the World Heritage-listed region including the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls and Jamison Valley. Journey on the world's steepest incline railway, glide between clifftops on the glass-floored Skyway suspended 270 metres in the air, descend into the ancient Jamison Valley by Cableway, explore Jurassic rainforest along the 2.4 kilometres walkway - the longest boardwalk in the Southern Hemisphere. 
 The Greater Blue Mountains was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2000 and was one of 15 World Heritage places included in the National Heritage List on 21 May 2007.

シーニックワールドはオーストラリアニューサウスウェールズ州の世界遺産ブルー・マウンテンズにある観光名所です。ユーカリの木から揮発されるオイルが太陽光に反射し、青く霞んで見えることからブルー・マウンテンズの名前が付けられました。

The Blue Mountains is densely populated by oil bearing Eucalyptus trees. The atmosphere is filled with finely dispersed droplets of oil, which, in combination with dust particles and water vapour, scatter short-wave length rays of light which are predominantly blue in colour.

Asahiyama zoo, Hokkaido

Asahiyama Zoo is a very popular zoological garden just outside of central Asahikawa City in the middle of Hokkaido where the annual temperature gap reaches almost 70°C. It is Japan’s farthest northern zoo — visited by 3 million people per year. Located in the very north of Japan, Asahiyama Zoo is home to 800 animals of 124 different species. A zoo featuring fascinating exhibits showing the behavior of the animals in their natural habitats. They lies in the enclosures which allow visitors to observe the animals from various angles, many of which are unique to Asahiyama Zoo. Animals on display include native wildlife from Hokkaido, including deer, eagles, cranes and (now extinct) wolves, as well as various animals from across the world, such as polar bears, apes, big cats and giraffes. Their daily feeding time is also a must-see. (source)
