What are some examples of travel writing?

Kurtistown I have a homework due tomorrow where we need to write a piece of travel writing to a place where we went before. I chose to write about Blue Mountain in Australia. The problem is that I don't know how to write it. We've read an example but I don't really get what should be written inside a travel writing text and how it should be written. Any help would be appreciated. Examples of travel writing is also good. Thanks! Kell Within it you should use the 5 senses, sight, sound, smell, touch and taste, so what things did you see such as nice views, strange people or things. Describe the smell of some things you remember smelling, the touch of something, those two are a little harder. The taste is easy, something you ate, food that the place is famous for for example. Sound, any music, animals or crowds you heard. The audiance will want to know all these things even if they dont know it, so they can see if its a place they would like to go. If any of the senses were unpleasent, you can make sure no one goes there, if you liked the place though, you can sort of advertise it using the senses, make people want to go and experience the sites, the food, the people...
