Switzerland is a country in Europe. The capital of Switzerland is Berne but the biggest city is Zürich.

The highest mountain in Switzerland is the Dufourspitze, in Monte Rosa Massif. It is 4.634 metres high.

Its longest river is the Aar. It's 291 kilometres long.

I think the most amazing construction in Switzerland is Chapel Bridge. It is the oldest wooden bridge in Europe. There is a tower in the middle of the bridge.

Its flag is red and it has got a white cross in the middle.

The Murray River is the longest river in Australia. It's about 2.520 kilometres long.

Mount Kosciuszko, in New South Wales, is the highest mountain in Australia. It is about 2.228 metres high.

I think the most amazing construction is the Sydney Opera House. It is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings.

Austria, by Judith Sabaté


The capital of Austria is Vienna.

The Danube is the longest river in Austira. It's 350 kilometres long.

Grossglockner, in the Alps, is the highest mountain in Austria. It is about 3.798 meters high.

I think the most amazing construction in Austria is Schönbrunn, in Vienna. It was the summer palace of the habsburgs.

In my opinion, the most interesting and incredible place in Viena is The House of Music. It's an interactive museum. It's great!
