Model Answer 1:
Alton National Park is located adjacent to the Moonie highway in South West 
Queensland in Australia and mostly famous for the rare species at the park. 
The park is under the reign of Baloone Shire local government and mostly 
famous for camping inside the park. But there are no facilities for the campers 
except the open spaces. People who go for camping at the park are self-
sufficient. They usually carry all their necessary items and amenities required 
for the camping. The campers can do everything except creating an open fire 
for enjoyment. The authority is always alert about the issue as there were 
some fire related accidents took place here in past. Besides, the natural view of 
the park is outstanding and in the moonlit night the night views are wonderful. 
But the visitors need to be careful whatever they do here as this is a restricted 
area as it houses rare species and they should not be disturbed in any way.
Well, if you ask exactly how it looks like, the shape cannot be described in 
words. It does not have any specific shape or size rather the park has stretched 
for over 5 kilometres and decorated with varieties of trees and some 
mountains. It looks like a planned hilly garden with different plants which are 
standing with unity. There are many open spaces as well where the campers 
place their tents. The park is also the combination of two towns and a village 
and as a result, the park is always crowded in some parts and the other parts 
remain silent. It is a perfect place for bird watching. Various rare birds are 
found in the park and it is a prime destination for the bird watchers in 
Queensland. 
The question ‘what I did there’ is simple but I am afraid the answer cannot be 
finished in few sentences. Since the park was a half an hour drive from my 
home, I usually visited the park in the holidays and took part in various types of 
activities inside the Alton National Park. I went to the park for numerous times 
and mostly I went for camping purpose. When I was a graduate level student, I 
and my friends used to come here for camping at nights. It was a kind of 
celebration for us whenever we finished one of our semesters. It became a 
tradition for seven of us. Sometimes I used to visit the park in holidays for bird 
watching as well and have spotted different birds at their nest rested high on 
the tree-tops.

Ummm! Actually, it was the age for me when everything appeared good. In 
fact, that was the time of enjoyment for me. In my youth days, I travelled in 
different parts of Australia and had spent a large portion of time mostly in the 
Alton National Park for many reasons. The most important thing is its natural 
scenario and the views of the deep blue sky from the ground level. In the 
bright summer days, the sky views were breathtaking and I mostly went there 
in the evenings to enjoy the blue sky and sunset. Sometimes I turned into the 
audience for mountain biking during the events and supported for my 
favourite bikers.
