In the morning, the car that picked up Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the hotel on time. Yunluo and An Chuyu took the car to the cable car station and started to ride the world's longest cable car. Before this, Yunluo had taken the Maokong Cable Car in Taipei and was deeply impressed, but this cable car was longer than the Maokong Cable Car and faster.

The cable car has two transfer stations along the way. There are some scenic spots to visit at each transfer station, and tourists can get off and take a look. Kuranda is in a large tropical rainforest, and you can appreciate these trees up close at the transfer station. At the second transfer station, you can enjoy the waterfall in the distance.

The cable car crossed the river and was not far from Kuranda Station. When we arrived at Kuranda Station, there was a small town with a strong commercial character. It was not very large and the main street was basically just one street. You just had to walk straight along it. There were various specialty shops and restaurants on both sides of the street. This is a map of Kuranda.

All kinds of shops are very lively and you can go shopping. Crocodile specimens. Australian accessories and clothing. After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the train station to experience the ancient train. The train station is still very beautiful. The train departure time is fixed. If you take a one-day tour, it will be written more clearly on the ticket, if you come early.

You can go to the lake opposite the train station to have a look. The logo on the train carriage. There is a row of seats in the carriage, which can accommodate 4 people. The windows on both sides can be opened. It feels more upscale than the green train in China, haha. The train runs very slowly along the way, especially when it encounters a bend, and tourists can take pictures at any time.

The train also stops at a temporary station for a few minutes, so that tourists can get off and see the scenery on the other side. The railway is 34 kilometers long. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Kuranda Station on the mountain to Freshwater Station at the foot of the mountain, passing through 15 man-made tunnels along the way. There are 37 bridges, 93 bends, the highest point is 327 meters above sea level, and the lowest point is 5 meters above sea level.

The scenery along the way was beautiful and the mountains were steep. When they arrived at Freshwater Station, the bus that was going to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu had already parked. Yunluo and An Chuyu took the bus back to the city of Cairns. Since they hadn't eaten Chinese food for many days, Yunluo and An Chuyu found a Chinese restaurant recommended in the guide. The taste was similar to that of China. The price was also similar.

But they are in Australian dollars, a plate of black pepper beef fillet is $38 (￥212.8), it's really expensive! I won't show off the Chinese food here. After experiencing the cable car and train in Kuranda. Yunluo and An Chuyu's trip to Cairns ended, and tomorrow Yunluo and An Chuyu will fly to the Gold Coast.

This morning, Yunluo and Anchuyu flew from Cairns to Gold Coast, and in the evening they took a car to visit the firefly park. [Attractions] Gold Coast is a city on the Pacific coast of Queensland, Australia. It borders Brisbane in the north and Tweed Heads in New South Wales in the south.

The Gold Coast is a popular destination for Australians and tourists alike. Not only do new immigrants and tourists love its coastal and mountain scenery, but even wealthy retirees, investors and business people also think that the Gold Coast's bold colors are charming. The city is now Australia's sixth largest city and an internationally renowned tourist destination.

It leads the world in cultural and creative industries, fisheries, urban planning, information construction, racing, water sports and biotechnology. Its Q1 building in the city center is currently the tallest pure residential building in the world (2008), reaching 322.5 meters. [Start of the trip] On the plane from Cairns to the Gold Coast.

Through the window, you can see four layers of scenery. First, there are white clouds. Under the white clouds are islands, and under the islands is the sea. Finally, there are coral reefs on the seabed. It is recommended to fly to the Gold Coast from the north. It is best to choose to sit on the right side of the plane by the window, because the Gold Coast airport is in the south of the city.

In this way, you can see the panoramic view of the Gold Coast when the plane descends! But unfortunately, Yunluo took Jetstar Airlines. If you want to choose your own seat, you have to pay separately, so you don’t sit in a good position. Now think about it, it’s worth the extra money! Arriving at the Gold Coast Airport, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the airport bus to the hotel.

Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at Hilton on the Gold Coast, which was also the best hotel they stayed in during their entire trip to Australia. Yunluo will provide more information about Hilton in the [Accommodation] section of [Practical Guide] later. After putting the luggage in the hotel, it was already afternoon.

Yunluo and An Chuyu's plan for today was to set off at 4pm to join a tour group to watch fireflies. Since there was not much time left, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the beach. It was a beautiful beach, and not far away were the city's high-rise buildings. At 4pm, the tour guide drove to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu to participate in the night firefly watching activity.

Fireflies are different from the usual flying and glowing fireflies. They are worms that emit blue light and only live in parts of Australia and New Zealand. The place to see fireflies is Natural Bridge, southwest of the Gold Coast. You can drive there by yourself or join a tour group.

The tour group that Yunluo and An Chuyu signed up for had a professional guide who gave explanations in English. There were two tour groups to choose from, one with dinner and one without, and you could choose according to your needs. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the one with dinner, which was pretty good, with steak and fried fish to choose from.

The price is $90 (￥494) without dinner and $110 (￥616) with dinner. Yunluo and Anchuyu got off the car in a very dark place on the way to the Natural Bridge. The tour guide turned off the lights and asked everyone to look up at the starry sky. Everyone exclaimed in a low voice that the starry sky and the Milky Way here are so beautiful, and you can also see Scorpio, which can only be observed in the southern hemisphere!

So, students with SLR cameras, please remember to bring a tripod! Yunluo forgot to bring hers, so she had to put her camera in the car. Remember to bring a tripod! Next, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the habitat of fireflies. The tour guide gave each tourist a small flashlight, but this flashlight could only be used to illuminate the road.

When you encounter fireflies, you need to turn off the flashlight to see the stunning effect. Especially in the cave, it is very amazing! During the entire firefly tour, you are not allowed to use flash. You cannot use a camera in the cave. However, it is difficult to take pictures without a tripod. This is Yunluo using ISO1600 and aperture f1.4.

This is the only picture I can get with an 8-second handheld exposure. But what you actually see will be a hundred times more stunning than this! So, *important* if you want to take pictures of fireflies, please bring a tripod! It was already past 11 o'clock when we got back to the hotel, so we went to bed quickly because we were going to Warner Bros. Movieworld tomorrow.

Warner Movie World [Itinerary Description] Today Yunluo and An Chuyu went to Warner Movie World () on the Gold Coast. [Attraction Description] Warner Bros. Movie World (). It is also referred to as Warner Studios and Movie World.

A very popular movie-related theme park in Queensland, Australia. It is owned and operated by Village Roadshow since taking over from Time Warner, and is the only movie-related theme park in Australia. It opened in 1991.

The movie-themed park contains a variety of rides and attractions from motion simulators to roller coasters and slow river rides. In addition, costumed performers patrol the park. Giving visitors the opportunity to take photos with them. They include Batman, Austin Powers, Marilyn Monroe, Scooby-Doo, Mystery Incorporated, the gang, and various Bugs Bunny characters.

The small street show also includes skits. There are also singing performances, an all-star parade display with vehicles, costumed characters and movie-themed floats. In addition, there are many active movie studios in the complex Movie World. Like the House of Wax, the first Scooby-Doo movie, the 2003 Peter Pan movie, and the Ghost Ship.

Many film and television series such as Condemned and Fortress were born in Warner Street Show Studios, adjacent to Warner Bros. Movie World. Official website: .au/ [Start of the trip] Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the studio early in the morning. As for the bus routes on the Gold Coast, Yunluo will explain in detail in the [Transportation] section of [Practical Guide] later.

The ticket to the movie world is $84.99 (￥475.9) per person, and if you buy a pass for Movieworld, Seaworld and WetnWildGoldCoast, it is $99.99 (￥560). The first thing you see when you enter the door is SupermanEscape, a roller coaster that goes from 0 to 100km/h in just 2 seconds!

To the left of the roller coaster is Batwing Space Shot. This bungee jumping machine is also very exciting. Here is a map of the movie studio: The movie studio is not very big, and it is said to be much smaller than the one in Florida, USA. You can walk around it very quickly. If you play all the attractions, it will take about a day. Yunluo and An Chuyu first went to Hollywood Stun Driver to watch the car show, which was very exciting.

Photos don't show the effect, so Yunluo will show two more videos! It's very exciting, you must go to the scene to see it! This is a 4D movie. In addition to wearing 3D glasses, there are also swaying seats, air jets and water sprays. Yunluo and An Chuyu went to see the movie "Ice Age". This is the middle of the cinema, and there will be many performances.

Look, Batman is here! And then there's Marilyn Monroe! They look pretty real, just like the real thing! Here's a video. At the very back of the movie park is WildWestFalls, a very weak rapids ride. If you've been to Happy Valley in Beijing, this one is way too weak! If you don't believe me, watch this video:) The costumed actors and performers in the movie park will also patrol the park.

Visitors have the opportunity to take photos with them. Yunluo and Anchu met Audrey Hepburn, Catwoman, the Superman family, Marilyn Monroe, and the Joker in Batman, which was very interesting. Catwoman and Monroe, there is also a blower below, which is specially used to blow the skirt. Movie fans must not miss it! Finally, I recommend the drinks sold in the movie city, $12.99 (￥72.7) a cup.

There are Coke, Sprite and other carbonated drinks, which can be refilled unlimitedly within a day. The cup is pretty good and can be kept as a souvenir later. Warner Studios needs a whole day to play. When Yunluo and An Chuyu returned, the sun had already set. They originally planned to go to Seaworld, but they really didn't have time.

It is recommended to arrange one more day in Gold Coast. Go to bed early at night when you return to the hotel, because you have to get up at 3 am the next day to ride a hot air balloon! Today, Yunluo and Anchuyu got up in the early morning to ride a hot air balloon. Visit Q1 Building in the afternoon and take the train to Brisbane in the evening. [Attraction Description] Q1 Building is a skyscraper located on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia.

It has 77 floors. It was once the tallest residential building in the world, but its location was replaced by 23 Maryland in Dubai in 2008. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Australia, located in the northeast of mainland Australia, with the Sunshine Coast to the north and the international tourist destination Gold Coast to the south.

The metropolitan area has a population of over 2.15 million, making it the third most populous metropolitan area in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne. [Start of the trip] Yunluo and Anchuyu reported on a hot air balloon tour, $250 (￥1400) per person. It includes a breakfast, which is expensive! Included: Air-conditioned bus transfers Spectacular 30-minute hot air balloon tour Full hot breakfast and champagne.

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

Visit to Oeilly's Grand Home VineyardExpert commentaryHot air balloon ride certificateIn addition to the Gold Coast, you can also ride in Cairns, Brisbane and Port Douglas. The official website of the hot air balloon said that a car would come to the hotel to pick up Yunluo and Anchuyu at 4:00 am. The driver was very punctual. The route of the hot air balloon is slightly different every day.

The main focus is flying over the inland plateau of the Gold Coast. Yunluo and Anchu met the place where the hot air balloon arrived. It was already dawn, and it was a little after 5 o'clock in the morning. As the bottom continued to heat up, the hot air balloon was ready to take off! The basket under the hot air balloon held a total of 14 people, including a pilot.

The temperature in the morning was not very high. But it was very warm standing under the fire. If the fire was too strong, it would feel a bit hot. As the pilot continued to heat the air in the hot air balloon, Yunluo and An Chuyu slowly rose into the air. After a while, the car that picked them up had become very small.

The morning sun was bright and the shadows of each tree were long. Most hot air balloon pilots prefer to fly at low altitudes so that they can see more scenery. Usually the altitude of hot air balloon flights ranges from the height of a tree to about 1,000 meters. This is a relatively large artificial lake. The lake is also very beautiful, heart-shaped.

The water surface in the morning is as calm as a mirror! Hot air balloons cannot be completely controlled! Because different altitudes have different wind directions and wind speeds. The pilot chooses the appropriate flight altitude according to the required flight direction. The pilot increases or decreases the flight altitude of the hot air balloon by controlling the air temperature inside the balloon.

After about half an hour of flying, Yunluo and An Chuyu were ready to land. When landing, everyone needed to hold on to the handrails in the basket and bend their knees slightly, but don't worry, the hot air balloon that Yunluo and An Chuyu were riding in landed very smoothly. After everyone got off the basket, everyone had to help the staff fold up the hot air balloon, which was quite interesting.

First, squeeze out the air in the hot air balloon. Then put it in this bag. Push the basket onto the car. Then push the balloon onto the car. On the hot air balloon, there will be a camera fixed on an extended rack to take pictures for everyone, and the pilot controls the shutter. The photos will be posted on the official website, but if you want to see the larger pictures, you need to buy them.

So Yunluo could only download a small picture with the logo. For more questions about the hot air balloon, you can see the QA of this official website: After getting off the hot air balloon, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the last stop of the hot air balloon trip, the winery, and had breakfast here. After breakfast, Yunluo and An Chuyu went back to the hotel to pack up. They originally wanted to catch up on some sleep, but later decided to continue shopping.

Yunluo and An Chuyu walked on the beach, heading towards the Q1 building. There were many people on the beach in the morning, including some naked women. A helicopter came over to create waves for tourists surfing on the sea. It was so cool! Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the Q1 building, which is the tallest building on the Gold Coast. It costs $21 (￥117.6) per adult to go up there.

You can also buy a daytime and nighttime pass for $29 (￥162.4) per adult. In addition, on top of the Q1 building, you can participate in the Skypointclimb activity, which is to walk around the roof of the Q1 building outdoors in safety clothing. It should be very exciting. The price is $69 (￥386.4) per adult.

Yunluo and An Chuyu did not participate in the SkypointClimb activity, but just enjoyed the scenery of the Gold Coast through the glass on the observation floor. Looking down at the Gold Coast. It is really a beautiful coastal city. In the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the bus to Nerang Station and took the train to Brisbane Airport.

Australia's trains and subways are not well developed. This line belongs to the Brisbane City Railway. Regarding Brisbane's urban railway, Yunluo will explain it in detail in the [Transportation] section of the [Practical Guide] later. The carriage is very clean. At night, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at Brisbane Airport and checked in at the ibisbudget next to the airport. The conditions of this hotel are very poor.

Yunluo will explain more in detail in the [Accommodation] section of the [Practical Guide] later. So far, the Gold Coast section is over. Tomorrow morning Yunluo and An Chuyu will fly to the legendary Whitsunday Islands.

Whitsunday Islands-heartreef-whitehavenbeach-ariliebeach [Itinerary Description] Yunluo and Anchuyu spent two days in the Whitsunday Islands. On the first day, they mainly visited airliebeach. On the second day, they took a small plane to overlook Taoxin Island and the most beautiful white sand beach. [Attraction Description] The Whitsunday Islands are located between the south of Bowen and the north of Machay. (To be continued..)
