South Bank Parklands is located on the south bank of the Brisbane River, covering an area of ​​hectares. It was originally the venue for the 1930 World Expo. After the exhibition, the municipal authorities wanted to convert it into residential apartments, but were opposed by citizens. Later, they changed their mind and made it a waterfront park. Except for food and parking fees, there is no charge at all.

It is a good place for all citizens to relax. There is a Ferris wheel here, which is a landmark building in Brisbane, but it seems that not many people take it. The fee is 100 Australian dollars per person. Yunluo and An Chuyu got lost here, so they didn't dare to walk around, so they just walked around. In fact, there are still many attractions near South Bank Park. There is a large shopping mall opposite and a museum behind.

There seems to be a performance center nearby, and there is a graffiti wall next to the mall. Kangaroo Point is a river loop of the Brisbane River. It is located on a high ground, overlooking the beautiful Brisbane River and the high-rise buildings on the opposite bank. Although it is called Kangaroo Point, unfortunately you can't find kangaroos here. It is actually a bag-shaped area formed by the bend of the Brisbane River.

There are two legends about why this place is called Kangaroo Cape: one is that it is said that this bay looks like a kangaroo's tail, so the locals call it Kangaroo Cape, just like the Cape of Good Hope in Africa; the other is that it is said that this place was where the government used to hunt kangaroos. Kangaroos were a disaster here and affected people's lives, so the government drove the kangaroos to Kangaroo Cape, and the kangaroos either fell off the cliff or fell off the cliff.

Or be surrounded and killed. So later there was a witty saying "There are no stories on the Story Bridge, and no kangaroos in Kangaroo Point". Now many people come here to climb rocks. It feels like only experts will come here to climb rocks. It is about a minute drive from South Bank Park. Then we drove to the Story Bridge. There are no photos, so Yunluo won't say much.

Gold Coast (Gold Coast, Australia) is located on the east coast of Australia. It is a resort consisting of kilometers and dozens of beautiful beaches. It is the famous Queensland Gold Coast. Gold Coast has a subtropical monsoon climate, with sunshine all year round and humid air. It is suitable for tourism all year round.

But the best time is from December to February of the following year, which is the summer in Australia and very suitable for diving. A dozen years ago, this place was still unknown to many people. Until one day, a very smart businessman opened a hotel in this place and named it Surfers Paradise. Gradually, it attracted tourists from all over the world.

It takes about half an hour to drive from the center of Brisbane to the Gold Coast. There are many hotels on the Gold Coast. It is a holiday resort with sunny days all year round. Australians love surfing so much that their banknotes are waterproof. In Surfers Paradise, you can see foreigners of all ages playing happily in the waves.

I wanted to take some photos of pretty girls, but it was totally in vain, hahahaha. I went home and looked through the photos and found that the prettiest one was still Yunluo's mother, hahahaha. We had a seafood buffet at the hotel for dinner, which was really good value. First of all, the environment was great. It was the style that Yunluo liked, and the oysters were really delicious. Eating a few was just the entry level.

The shrimps are so sweet. They are sold for one kilogram in Australian dollars. Eat and eat. You can choose beer, red wine or white wine. I have to mention the dessert cakes here. They are really delicious. Yunluo will not tell you that after eating, Yunluo stuffed two more pieces into her stomach. The waiters are all blond and blue-eyed, well-trained foreigners.

This meal was really delicious. It was not expensive, only charged Australian dollars per person. Today was perfect because of dinner. I went shopping at Ugg in the evening. It felt great to wander around after a full meal! I woke up at around 4 in the morning and found that I could watch the sunrise from the balcony, but it was not the best location. In fact, I could have put on my clothes and watched the sunrise on the beach.

But Yunluo didn't expect that when she opened the balcony door in the morning, the wind outside was still quite strong. The group members who went to join the hot air balloon came back and said that they didn't see the sunrise, but Yunluo was very proud to take a micro video of the sunrise on the balcony, and then continued to catch up on sleep. Today is a free activity, Yunluo and An Chuyu have booked a trip to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

The ticket price is Australian dollars per person. Yunluo and An Chuyu have more than one person, so the tour guide directly chartered a car for Yunluo and An Chuyu, which saved a lot of car fares. The price is the round-trip fare plus the ticket is Australian dollars per person, which is pretty good. Then, because we are a group, we can take pictures with koalas and get a discount. Originally it was Australian dollars per ticket, but now it is Australian dollars per large ticket plus four small ones. Don't miss it.

I read the reviews of Currumbin on the Internet and they have mixed reviews. Yunluo is a die-hard fan of the zoo. Of course, it cannot be compared with zoos in China, because the variety of animals here is definitely not as many as in China, and some animals are nocturnal and cannot be seen in the morning, such as turtles and bears. There is a pet hospital in the park. When Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived, they were treating a bat.

Yunluo and An Chuyu can see the whole rescue process through the glass. You can take photos with the kangaroo as much as you want, but you can't touch its ears. It depends on whether you are lucky enough to meet a cooperative kangaroo. Because there are too many people feeding the kangaroo, it may not pay attention to you even if you feed it food. The sleeping posture of the kangaroo is quite ecstatic.

And they like to eat and poop at the same time, and kangaroo poop is quite smelly. Morning: There is a wool show. Almost afternoon: Back to the hotel, and then go to have lunch. There is a very famous steak restaurant on the Gold Coast called Irish Bar & Restaurant, which has a special steak meal for Australian dollars. The price-performance ratio is very high, but it will not appear on the menu.

Yunluo and An Chuyu walked over and didn't see any special offer signs, so they ordered a longan steak set meal of 1000 g. Australian dollars. After ordering, the waiter asked you how well done you wanted it and what flavor you wanted. They also ordered an aperitif. The quality and freshness of the steak were really great. I have to say that Australians really eat generous portions.

Anyway, a steak meal for two people is just right. I really like the onions in the salad. Although it will be a bit spicy if you eat too much, Australian onions are really sweet. Also, the speed of serving food in Australia is really fast. It is no exaggeration to say that Yunluo fell asleep waiting. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. After the foreigners placed the order, no one urged them to place the order.

So Yunluo waited silently, but after eating, he said that the wait was not in vain. After a good breakfast and dinner, he went to Surfers Paradise to watch the sunset. Playing in the water, watching foreigners, and playing around, he followed the foreigners and walked barefoot all the way back to the hotel. It was very comfortable. I especially recommend this ice cream. Two balls as big as the Australian dollar, Australians are really honest.

Everything is pressed very tightly before being given to you. I like the mint chocolate very much. It's not too sweet, but it's a bit coquettish. I have nothing to do in the evening, so I'll go out for a walk and take some photos. I'll get up and leave for Melbourne tomorrow morning, and this trip is almost over. If you are traveling by yourself, you can choose to go to the Great Ocean Road, which takes about an hour to go back and forth.

It is said that the scenery there is superb. I thought today was another perfect day, but I was so wet because of the waves. I was supposed to go to Q Building, but I forgot it completely! I was chatting with someone the next morning and then I remembered that I didn't go! I took an early flight to Melbourne today.

Yunluo, who usually arrives half an hour early, took her camera to the street to take pictures at four o'clock. The wind made Yunluo shiver. It was really cold. Hotels in Australia are like this. Basically, no one is on duty at night. From 10:00 p.m., you need to swipe your card to enter and exit the hotel. On the way to the airport, I saw the sunrise. It was beautiful.

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, Australia, the second largest city in the Commonwealth of Australia, the cultural and industrial center of Australia, and the most famous cultural city in the Southern Hemisphere. Melbourne was once the capital of the Commonwealth of Australia. The city has a green area of ​​%. The Greater Melbourne area covers an area of ​​, square miles (square kilometers).

It is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the southern hemisphere. Melbourne has a very elegant urban environment. It has won the United Nations Habitat Award and has been rated as "the world's most livable city" by the United Nations Human Settlements Program for many consecutive years. When I arrived in Melbourne, it was daylight saving time, and the time was one hour faster. The temperature in Melbourne on the day I arrived was ℃, which was really about to melt the clouds.

Here is the weather in Melbourne. You can experience four seasons in one day. Melbourne is also the coldest city in Australia. The temperature will be only ℃ tomorrow. It is really cold in Melbourne at night. You really can't go out without a coat. St. Patrick's Cathedral is located next to St. Patrick's Park in Melbourne. It is the most representative Gothic building of the century.

The church has a rich collection of crafts, including delicate stained glass windows, ingenious wood carvings and stonemasonry, all of which highlight the grandeur and solemnity of the Catholic Church. The cathedral was designed by the famous British architect William Wardell in 1911 and officially opened in January 1912. The three spires of the church were not completed until 1935.

To commemorate the centenary of the Catholic Church's establishment in Victoria. The Gothic-style spire is meters high, fully demonstrating the architectural style and magnificence of the Renaissance. St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest Catholic church in the Southern Hemisphere. It is free to visit and you can take photos inside the church, but please remember to keep your voice down and don't disturb the people who are doing mass inside.

Also try not to take pictures of others with your camera. The windows inside are really beautiful, and each one is different. After that, cross a road and you will reach Fitzroy Park. In the afternoon, the sun and breeze make walking in the park very pleasant. I want to lie on the grass for half an hour. Captain Cook's Cottage is located in Fitzroy Park in the center of Melbourne.

This is a real cottage, simple, plain, even rough, with a sloping tiled roof and stone walls, and the dark brown color reveals the ancient vicissitudes of life. James Cook was born in this cottage in Yorkshire, England. In 1915, when Melbourne celebrated its anniversary as a city, Sir Russell, a well-known Australian industrialist, invested pounds to buy Captain Cook's former residence in England.

As a gift to the citizens of Melbourne. People carefully disassembled the former residence, numbered each piece of building material, packed it in boxes, with a total weight of tons, shipped from Britain to Melbourne, and then reassembled it as it was. Yunluo and An first met just outside for five minutes. You need to buy a ticket to visit inside. The workers inside are all wearing the clothes of the time.

If you go inside, you can take photos with them. But Yunluo and An Chuyu can only take photos outside. Phillip Island is a tourist destination in Australia, located in the sea 100 kilometers southeast of Melbourne. It is a natural animal sanctuary. There are koalas (also known as "koalas"), an animal unique to Australia, and it is also the habitat of fairy penguins. Here you can watch the world wonder - penguins landing.

Phillip Island, also known as Penguin Island, is an island at the mouth of Westport Bay in southern Victoria, Australia. A bridge is built on the east side of the island to connect it to San Remo on the mainland. Its shape resembles a dolphin. There are penguin ecological sanctuary, Churchill Farm, koala conservation center and Nobis Center on the island. It takes about an hour to drive to Phillip Island.

Yunluo and An Chuyu first took a helicopter around the island, which took about 15 minutes. It was my first time taking a helicopter, so I was so excited, haha. I thought the captain would be a handsome guy, so I clamored to sit next to the captain. As a result, I asked Yunluo to tell me where my hometown is, and Yunluo can point out the direction for me. Yunluo happily said Sihai City.

After a hum, he said it was too far away, and then asked Yunluo if he wanted to fly out and take pictures now. Then he started laughing.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Time is really short, and we have to get off the plane before we have enough fun. There is still some time before dinner. So what can we do? Yunluo tells you! Go to the supermarket, because the supermarket in the suburbs is the biggest entertainment place.

After dinner, drive another 15 minutes to Penguin Island to watch the penguins returning to their nests. The little blue penguin is the smallest penguin in the world, only 1.5 cm tall. Every morning, the little penguins go out to sea in groups to fish. After a hard day's work, they return from the sea to their caves on the sand dunes when the sun sets.

Can't wait to feed the day's spoils to my children. Entered the reserve. The wind was strong, and many groups had already arrived, so Yunluo and An Chuyu stood by the railing waiting for the penguins to return. I must say that myopia can't see them at all, hahahaha. By the way, you can't take pictures in the reserve, even if the penguins haven't returned yet.

If you take out your camera, the staff will stop you, and sometimes they will even use slang! Of course. How can you not take pictures in China? Some people even use flash to take pictures. Please don't do this. The flash will blind the little blue penguins. Remember to follow the rules. After waiting for about minutes, the first batch of penguins began to return to their nests.

First I saw one from afar, staggering up, it was really super small, plus it was dark, it was hard to see clearly. When the first group came ashore, it was almost time to turn around and walk to the railing at the entrance. After waiting for a while, you can see a large number of little blue penguins returning. If you are lucky, you can even see them crossing the road, super cute.

The strong man's heart was almost melted by cuteness. It was already late when we got back to the hotel, so we went to bed. Tomorrow was the last day of the trip, so we had fun. Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in the suburbs. They opened the map on their phones and saw that there were several universities nearby, a large park opposite, the Melbourne Zoo behind, and it was about km away from the University of Melbourne.

I still get up early and walk around. The air is really good. However, the highest temperature in Melbourne today is only ℃, half of yesterday. In the morning in Melbourne, I watched passers-by walking their dogs, running, and riding bicycles. Yunluo strolled on the street and felt very comfortable. I like Melbourne. The corridor of the hotel is like this.

You can stand outside and watch inside, beware of such people, haha. Sovereign Hill is a holy place where gold diggers flock to, an outdoor museum that vividly displays the vigorous gold rush that took place here in the last century. With a legendary history and high tourist participation, it is not only a tourist attraction, but also a journey tracing the history of gold.

Walking into the gold mining town of Sovereign Hill is like walking through a time tunnel into the hustle and bustle of the century. Not only is the original appearance of time and space presented here, but even the staff are dressed in clothes from a hundred years ago, and the Chinese-speaking tour guides are dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes. You can wear the costumes of the time and take photos in the century-old photo studio on the main street.

Mail a postcard with the postmark of that time to yourself or a friend as a precious souvenir; or play mid-century bowling at the Empire Bowling Alley, enjoy the pioneer theater, and taste candies and breads made from centuries-old secret recipes; or you can visit a century-old underground mine... Here, you can experience the joy of gold panning at any time.

It takes an hour and a half to drive from the hotel to Sovereign Hill. There is a bakery in Sovereign Hill. The chickenpie and beefpie there are very delicious, and the gingerbread men are also very cute. Yunluo and Anchuyu had lunch there. There were a lot of people queuing up. There was also a candy store. The young man selling candy there was very handsome. There was also a photo studio.

You can wear the costumes of the time and take photos. The photos are in black and white and need to be printed. I vaguely remember the price was around Australian dollars, which seems a bit expensive. Some schools will let students wear the costumes of the time to participate in extracurricular activities here. It is best not to take photos of them without the consent of the students and teachers, because Australia's child protection law for children under the age of 18 is quite prohibited.

If you want to take a photo with the staff, you can let them know in advance, and they will definitely cooperate fully, and then politely say thank you. After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to visit the mine at that time. People who are afraid of the dark, claustrophobic, and prone to dust allergies should bypass it on their own and don't go down, because the mine is too dark and you can't take any photos. (~^~)
