My family, thats Mum, Dad and me, live in Broome in Western Australia. Western Australia is about 80 times larger than Italy, but only 1.5 million people live there.Broome is a town in the north of Western Australia. It has a population of about 12，000. Its right on the coast and is known for its famous Cable Beach, which is 20 km long.We live in the town in a house with a large garden. At weekends I often go fishing or swimming with my friends or my parents. We drive to Cable Beach and look for a quiet place to swim or to fish. We dont go swimming from October to March because there may be box jellyfish in the water. The box jellyfish is one of the most dangerous jellyfish.In Australia, they kill up to 65 people a year. If you are attacked by one, the best thing to do is to pour vinegar(醋) over the area of your body where you are hurt. Thats why we always take a bottle of vinegar with us.Another dangerous animal in Western Australia is the saltwater crocodile. A year ago I went camping in the bush(灌木叢) with my friend Bill and his dad. We wanted to do some fishing and set up camp about 20 metres from a river. Suddenly, at 3 oclock in the morning, we felt something pulling on our tent. Bills father told us to get up and we quickly got out of the tent and ran to the car, which was only 10 metres away.Bills dad started the car and turned on the headlights.
