IDU
The IDU assignment for this subject is finding information of Australia Attractions
Here are my research about Australia's Attraction
Monkey Mia
Monkey Mia is famous because there are small group of friendly Bottlenose Dolphin coming close to the shore to interact with humans
In Monkey Mia people could see the dolphin feeding and just seeing Bottlenose Dolphin people are already entertain. People could also interact with the dolphin
The name Monkey Mia was founded in 1890 which means 'monkey' is a nickname and 'mia' is an aboriginal word means shelter or resting place. The bottlenose dolphins have been visiting Monkey Mia for more than 40 years. In 1960 bottlenose dolphins began to visit Monkey Mia, after the local fishermen began throwing fish to them from their boat.

Fremantle Prison
Fremantle prison is a place where now it holds the key of history, mystery, and fun.
Inside the Fremantle Prison experience a fascinating tour of Prison Day. People usually explore the labyrinth of tunnels 20 metres under the prison by foot and by boat and it is called Tunnel Tour adventure, another one is darker side of the Prison's history on a spooky Torchlight Tour.
Fremantle Prison was built as a convict barracks in the 19th century and remained in continual use until 1991. The Prison was a place of hangings, floggings, dramatic convict escapes and prisoner riots. Inmates included imperial convicts, colonial prisoners, enemy aliens, prisoners of war and maximum-security detainees.

Barracks Arch
Nowadays Barracks Arch is only a historic landmark buildings.
There's not really a whole lot to the Barracks Arch, but it is an interesting point of Perth heritage, since the majority of the Barracks was demolished to build the nearby freeway canyon.
The Barracks Arch supposed to be a Pesioner Guards Barracks, which were built in 1863 and contained 2 wings of 120 rooms. In 1800s the Barracks are used housing Enrolled Pensioner Guards and their families who protected the public against the convicts, although in 1880s the Pesioner Forces were disbanded by the police. In 1960s the 2 wings of Pesioner Guards Barracks are demolished to make for the freeway, until now it is called Barracks Arch.

Kings Park
Perth's natural heartland. Kings Parks perhaps the best view over Perth overlooking the city and the Swan River
Free guided walking tours, barbecue facilities, children’s playgrounds, tearooms and fine dining restaurant make Kings Park a popular place for locals and visitors to relax. Here, you’ll find 400 hectares of towering trees, natural bushland, lakes, grand lookouts and sculpted botanical gardens. In national day of Australia more than 40000 people visited The State War Memorial Precint in Kings Park, Mount Eliza.
The park was officially opened on 10 August 1895, the park was originally called Perth Park and was renamed in 1991 to be Kings Park. This was to mark the ascension to the British throne of King Edward VII and the visit to Perth of George, the Duke of Cornwall and Princess Mary.

Reflection
I've done well for assignments in humanities, especially for the IDU week. Because I really work hard for it and as a result I could find quality information about tourist's attraction in Australia. I able to summarize all the information I got from the internet where it should be a very long information, but it turns out to be points when it is summarized. I feel like being open-minded because I put much effort on doing this assignment just like what the teacher expecting me to be and I have a good researching skills in this point.
