The Swiss tennis player plays tennis with children in the Pinnacles limestone desert in Australia.
In the last days of 2018, Roger Federer flew to Perth (Australia) amid a warm welcome from fans. He continued to ride a helicopter for about 2 hours to reach the Pinnacles limestone desert, in Nambung National Park.
Although he has had the opportunity to visit many deserts around the world, Federer believes that there is no place like the Pinnacles and the city of Perth is a place he has loved for many years.
“I’m a big fan of long-distance road trips, not many people know this. One of my biggest dreams when I retire is to have time to travel across Europe and many other places like that,” Federer shared. shared with AAP.
He added: “It’s great to go to Pinnacles, this place looks amazing – like on the moon. I’ve never been to the moon but the view is similar to this, maybe just with less people.”
In 2017, this tennis player also helped Western Australia promote tourism with a selfie with a quokka on Rottnest Island. Western Australia’s tourism chief, Paul Papalia, hopes the number of visitors to the state increases thanks to Federer’s latest visit to Perth and the Pinnacles. According to Mr. Paul Papalia, Federer is not paid to promote tourism.
