This book came about entirely by chance. I traveled to Australia to spend two weeks with my older sister during Christmas and New Year's. While there, I reconnected with an old classmate in Sydney and shared some photos on our group's Facebook page. A friend asked for recommendations on popular Australian tourist spots, so I posted my travel journal. I received congratulations and encouragement from several friends, and some even suggested I turn it into a book. That's when the idea for my first book was born. This book chronicles my personal experiences during my two-week trip to Australia, with my travel observations recorded in a journal.

To enhance this book, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mrs. Thinh Hoang (Ai-Co Hoang-Thinh), B.Ed., a retired bilingual teacher, writer, and poet. She enjoyed reading both the Vietnamese and English versions, offering valuable suggestions, correcting and editing many of my mistakes. A pivotal figure in introducing Vietnamese culture to Australia, she has received numerous prestigious honors, including Excellent in Multicultural Affairs, Teacher of the Year, and Citizen of the Year.
