A collection of continental islands located in Queensland, Australia, about 900 kilometers from Brisbane. The commercial center of the Whitsunday Islands is Hamilton Island. It is a popular tourist destination in Queensland and one of the most popular yachting destinations in the Southern Hemisphere. There is a very beautiful Great Barrier Reef and the famous Heart Island.

There are also very beautiful white sand beaches, and the scenery is more stunning than that of Cairns. Since there is relatively little information about this archipelago available in China, Yunluo will give a detailed introduction here. Please see the map. To go to the Whitsunday Islands, you can choose to take a plane to Whitsunday Coast Airport or to Great Barrier Reef Airport on Hamilton Island.

If you fly to Whitsunday Coast Airport, you need to take the airport bus to Airlie Beach. The main attractions of the Whitsunday Islands are Airlie Beach, Whitehaven Beach and Heartreef. Airlie Beach is more lively, with many shops and restaurants, and Whitehaven Beach is a very beautiful white sand beach.

Heartreef is a very famous heart-shaped coral reef. There are many visitor centers on Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island, where you can book various tours, such as cruises, planes, etc. Here is an introduction to various activities on Whitsunday: .au/tours/[Start of the trip].

First of all, let me explain why Yunluo and An Chuyu chose Whitsuday. This is the first choice for Australian locals to vacation. Tour groups rarely come here, so it is not very famous for foreign tourists. Yunluo and An Chuyu's original itinerary did not arrange this place. Instead, it was Tangalooma next to Brisbane.

But the only hotel in Tangalooma was fully booked, so Yunluo and An Chuyu saw this beautiful place. Before coming to Whitsunday, Yunluo and An Chuyu had already completed half of their trip to Australia, and they had gotten up early the day before to ride a hot air balloon, so they planned to rest well in the next two days and did not book any activities here, such as taking a boat.

But when they got here, Yunluo and An Chuyu planned to go to the most beautiful white sand beach the next day, but they found that many people came to vacation because it was the weekend. All the cruise ships and planes were full, which meant that Yunluo and An Chuyu could only play on the shore and could not go out to sea. This was a pity! As mentioned earlier, Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at the ibis at Brisbane Airport.

The next morning, Yunluo and An Chuyu caught a flight at 8:00 a.m. to the Holy Spirit Islands. Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at Seastarapartment in the Holy Spirit Islands. Yunluo will explain more about this hotel in the [Accommodation] section of the [Practical Guide] later. After putting the luggage at the hotel.

Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to Airlie Beach, which was very beautiful with many government-built swimming pools. There were many shops and restaurants on the street, and it was very lively. In addition, it was the day of the Australian rugby match, and many people came to the bar to watch the game. Applause and cheers could be heard from time to time on the street!

If you sit among them and watch the game together, you will experience the passion of Australians for rugby, which is very crazy! Walk to the beach. It is already afternoon, and many people spread a big towel here and start sunbathing until sunset. Ariliebeach does not have a particularly large beach, as you can see in this photo.

The beach is mostly rocky, not very big. It's not clear if there is a beach on the west side. The east side is mainly the port. If you want to experience the beach in the Whitsunday Islands, you must go to the most beautiful white beach in Whitehaven Beach! Yunluo and An Chuyu basically wandered around that day and didn't go to any attractions.

The food was all from random roadside shops, the taste was average, so I won't introduce it. As mentioned earlier, since it was the weekend, all the entertainment projects were full, which was a pity, but the next day Yunluo and An Chuyu got a surprise! The next morning, Yunluo walked to Ariliebeach for breakfast and passed by a tourist center.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Yunluo went in to ask if there were any activities that were not fully booked today. It turned out that there was an air ticket that was available because someone canceled their reservation at the last minute! Great, I can go to see the White Beach! Although this project does not allow you to stay at the White Beach, it is better than staying at AirlieBeach all the time.

To give a specific introduction, the project that Yunluo and An Chuyu signed up for was the Reef and Island Flight of GSlaviation Company. They took a small plane from Airlie Beach to Taoxin Island, then to White Sand Beach, and finally back to Airlie Beach. It took a total of one hour and the price was $199 (￥) per person. It was quite expensive, but it was worth it after completing the whole trip.

Yunluo and An Chuyu feel that it is more cost-effective than the project in Cairns. His official website: You can learn about it in advance. At noon, a car took Yunluo and An Chuyu to Whitsunday Airport, which is a small airport for small planes to take off and land. There are many small planes on the runway, and this is the plane that Yunluo and An Chuyu will take.

There are two rows of seats on the plane, and everyone is next to the window, with plenty of views, which is better than the helicopter of greatadventures in Cairns! Take off! The plane first flies to the famous Heart-shaped Island. Along the way, Yunluo and Anchuyu keep watching the Great Barrier Reef, which feels more beautiful than the one in Cairns. They will soon arrive at the Heart-shaped Island.

The pilot was very good. He first passed by the left side of the heart-shaped island so that the passengers on the right could enjoy it, then turned around and came back so that the passengers on the other side could also enjoy it. Look at the small coral reef on the lower right. Zoom in a little, it's the same as what you see on various postcards, haha. The heart-shaped island that flew over. The next stop is White Sand Beach, if you choose to take a cruise.

We will stop here. Yunluo and An Chuyu can only see it from the plane. The white sand beach here is very beautiful. It is rare in the world! The white sand area is very large. We flew over the white sand, but this photo seems to be out of focus, so just take a look. On the way back, Yunluo and An Chuyu also passed by Hamilton Island, which has an airport.

There are flights from various cities in Australia, and there are many hotels. It is recommended to fly here directly. The plane returned to the airport. Yunluo and Anchu were still reluctant to meet. Although it was only an hour, it was very memorable. The scenery here is similar to that of Cairns, but it is more beautiful than that of Cairns. Unfortunately.

Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't go to the white sand beach this time. If they have the chance to come to Australia next time, Yunluo will fly directly to Hamilton Island and book the white sand beach program in advance. At the end, Yunluo also recommended a project. Since this project was full, Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't book it, but the introduction was very tempting.

This is a one-day tour from airwhitsunday, including a seaplane to the heart-shaped island and white sand beach, a private glass-bottomed semi-submarine for one hour, and one hour of snorkeling. One hour of sightseeing on the white sand beach, all snorkeling equipment is provided. Sun umbrellas, unlimited tea, juice and snacks are provided.

Professional commentary, the total time is 4.5 hours, of which the flight time is 1.5 hours. The price is $475 (￥2660) per adult. Their official website is. If you play this, you don’t have to go to Cairns at all. After getting off the plane, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a walk on the lawn by the sea. The seagulls here are even less afraid of people and are everywhere.

It just so happened that a couple had their wedding on this lawn. What a nice venue. In the evening, everyone took out potato chips to feed the seagulls, and more and more seagulls flew over, having a great time. In the end, all the potato chips were fed away, but the seagulls still followed Yunluo and An Chuyu for a long time before gradually dispersing.

In the evening, Yunluo and An Chuyu found a restaurant in their home to eat buffet. The chef's accent suggested that he was from the Northeast. The dishes were good, and the fried rice was delicious. Yunluo thought it might be because Yunluo and An Chuyu hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time. Since this restaurant doesn't have any special features, I won't show it.

Just like that, the two-day trip to the Whitsunday Islands ended, leaving Yunluo and An Chuyu with very beautiful memories. On the morning of the third day, Yunluo and An Chuyu flew back to Brisbane, and a wonderful thing happened. The airport bus that was supposed to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu could not accommodate Yunluo and An Chuyu because the driver miscalculated the number of people.

So they sent a long Ford limousine. When Yunluo and An Chuyu knew that this car was to take them to the airport, Yunluo and her friends were shocked! This car was quite spacious. This time, Yunluo and An Chuyu spent a lot of money on the airport bus. After arriving at the airport, Yunluo and An Chuyu flew to Brisbane.

As a place not originally planned for this trip, the Whitsunday Islands gave Yunluo many surprises. The very beautiful Great Barrier Reef and white sand beach are hard to see in other places. I hope to come here again if I have the chance. The Whitsunday Islands part is over.

Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in Sydney for just over a day. They stayed in Darling Harbour and walked to the fish market, the city centre, Hyde Park, Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Tower, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Bridge, and finally took a cruise in Circular Quay and sailed around the bay before returning to Darling Harbour.

This building is the first half of the Sydney itinerary. [Introduction] Sydney is located on the southeast coast of Australia. It is the capital of New South Wales and the most densely populated city in Australia. The urban population is 4,575,532 (2011). Sydney is the first European colonial settlement in Australia.

Founded in 1788 by Arthur Phillip, the captain of the British First Fleet, in Sydney Cove. Sydney is built around Port Jackson (including Sydney Harbour) and was once known as the "Harbour City". Sydney is Australia's largest financial centre and a major international tourist destination, famous for its beaches, opera house and harbour bridge.

Sydney has also hosted many sporting events, including the 1938 Commonwealth Games, the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Sydney Fish Market is the largest fish market in Sydney and even Australia, integrating wholesale, retail and catering. It is also a good place for citizens to enjoy and purchase seafood.

There are seafood restaurants with different characteristics in the market. There are all kinds of Chinese, Western and Japanese seafood delicacies. As the largest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney Fish Market ranks second in the world in terms of the number of species. More than 100 kinds of seafood products are sold here every day. Sydney Tower, also known as Amp Tower, is the tallest building in Sydney's central business district.

The tower is 305 meters high. The Sydney Opera House (Sydney Opera House.SOH) is located in Sydney, Australia. It is one of the most distinctive buildings in the 20th century. It is also a world-renowned performing arts center and a landmark building in Sydney. The theater was designed by Danish designer Jorn Utzon. Construction work began in 1959 and the theater was officially completed in 1973.

In June 2007, this building was named a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The Sydney Opera House is located at Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour. Its unique sail shape, coupled with the Sydney Harbour Bridge as the background, complements the surrounding scenery. Thousands of tourists come to see this building every day.

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

The Sydney Opera House is mainly composed of two main halls, some small theaters, performance halls and other ancillary facilities. Both halls are located in the larger sail-shaped structure, and the small performance hall is located in the base at the bottom. The largest main hall is the concert hall, which can accommodate up to 2,679 people.

The original intention of the design was to build this largest hall into an opera house. Later, the design was changed, and even the completed opera stage was demolished and rebuilt. There is a large organ in the concert hall, which was built by Ronald Sharp between 1969 and 1979.

It is said to be the world's largest mechanical wooden organ, consisting of 10,500 wind pipes. The smaller of the main halls is the opera house. The larger main hall was originally designed as an opera house. The smaller hall is not considered suitable for large opera performances. The stage is relatively small and the space for the orchestra is not suitable for large orchestras to perform.

Other ancillary facilities include a theatre, cinema and photography studio. Free public performances are often held in front of the entrance stairs. Sydney Harbour Bridge is a major bridge in Sydney, Australia, spanning Sydney Harbour and connecting Sydney's commercial centre with the North Shore.

This striking bridge, along with the nearby Sydney Opera House, is one of Sydney's most famous sights. Nicknamed "the coat hanger" because of its appearance, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was the tallest structure in the city until 1967.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was designed and built by the Dumenlong Construction Company of Middlesbrough, England, under the command of John Bradfield, an engineer of the New South Wales Public Works Department, and was completed in 1932. The highest point of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is 134 meters above sea level and it is also the fifth longest arch bridge in the world.

According to the Guinness World Records, it is also the tallest steel arch bridge in the world. It was also the widest long-span bridge in the world until it was replaced by the second-generation Port Mann Bridge in Greater Vancouver, Canada in 2012. [Start of the trip] Continue. Yunluo and Anchuyu flew from the Whitsunday Islands to Brisbane, and then transferred to Sydney. It was already evening when they arrived in Sydney.

The hotel Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in in Sydney was Novotel, which was near Darling Harbour and had a nice environment. Yunluo will provide more details about this hotel in the [Accommodation] section of the [Practical Guide] later. Yunluo got up early the next morning. The weather in Sydney was very good today, with plenty of sunshine.

Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the Pyrmont Bridge in Darling Harbor. In front of them was the city center, and the tall tower was the Sydney Tower. Sydney is worthy of being the largest city in Australia, with extraordinary temperament! There are many ships docked in Darling Harbor. There are also many small yachts like this. Yunluo and An Chuyu first walked to the famous fish market, where there were already many tourists early in the morning.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the various seafood. The oysters are very fresh, without any fishy smell, they were caught in the morning. There are also various sea fish. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought a big lobster, which they ate raw and fried with onion and ginger. It tasted very fresh. However, this place mainly sells seafood, and the processing is very ordinary compared to restaurants, so it is recommended to eat it raw here.

The price of this lobster is $135 (￥756), including the processing fee. It is said to be very cost-effective. Yunluo has never eaten such a big lobster in China, so I don’t know much about it. For more information about the fish market, Yunluo will explain it in detail in the [Food] section of the [Practical Guide] later.

After finishing this "hearty" breakfast, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the center of Sydney. The city center has both ancient and modern buildings, which are very distinctive. This is Queen Victoria Building, the most central shopping mall in Sydney. There is also a small band playing in the mall, which attracts many people to watch.

There are many luxury stores near the city center, such as Hermes, Prada, Chanel, etc. The girl decided to go shopping here, so Yunluo continued to walk northeast and came to Hyde Park, where many people rested. Everyone likes to sit on this large lawn and bask in the sun. Continue walking north to the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, where there are many green plants and fewer people. (To be continued...)
