Mumbai. I visited Australia in pre-Diwali week for vacation and I must say that this trip while enjoyable and fun had its own sharing of learning’s for me . I visited Gold coast, Carins and Sydney.. Aussie holiday cannot be without it’s own share of adrenaline rush and water sports and it wasn’t any different for me. I did snorkeling and scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairn . While the phenomenon of bleaching of reef and degradation thereof has been doing rounds in media , I must say that Australians are very environment conscious and they do whatever it takes to make the world around them look beautiful – they are thinking for the future and not just the past. The air is so clean, and even in the water it feels so nice.
I had a great experience of scuba diving and snokling. What amazed me most was how the transportation system of Australia cities used the water resources with world class Ferris which were mainstream.
I would like to add this in the content of Indian city like Mumbai , Chennai , southern cities Chennai, Vizag – we have an uptakes water resources which can become mainstream transportation mode. However unfortunately, I feel we are still not exploring the water as much as we should. Case in point being mumbai where we just use it from Madh to Versova as short 5 min ferry ride.
Its a great feeling to travel on water.. and we have so much of it, so why aren’t we using it.. our government is taking a lot of steps for land transportation in trains and metro. I seriously believe we should think of sea/water transportation. Travel between versova , juhu, worli to madh and Vasai will be outstanding if we commit resources to it.
