We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In every spring, Perth has the wild flower’s exhibition.
After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves.

There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

Camels are large animals living in dry areas. There are two kinds of camels: the Arabian camel?with a single hump(驼峰) from the dry desert, and the Bactrian camel with two humps from Central and East Asia. Camels are over 2 meters tall and weigh over 1,000 pounds. They will live for 40 to 50 years.?Most camels are trained and fed by people. They are plant-eaters.
Camels are very strong animals with wide, fat feet. Camels have noses that can open and close, protecting them from the desert?environment. Long eyebrows and eyelashes protect their eyes from sand. Their mouth is very tough, allowing camels to eat sharp desert plants. Their wide feet help them?move without falling into the sand. Their thick fur reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the strong heat from desert sand. Their long legs help keep them away from the hot ground.
???? Camels can walk without food or water for 3 to 4 days. They do not keep water in their humps as people believed. The humps actually hold a lot of fat. Camels are suitable for their environment. When conditions heat up, camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and water loss. They may not sweat at all during the day.?
