It was raining heavily when we were waiting in line to board the ferry. The sea area where the ferry is located is where dolphins are found. You may have seen dolphins leaping over the sea chasing the waves of the boat. Although the weather was bad, Yunluo and An Chuyu also saw a dolphin. The next stop was the Split Pint Lighthuse lighthouse in Aireysinlet. After seeing the lighthouse, we went to the Eagle Rock next to it.
A large rock standing in the sea looks like an eagle resting on a rock. The next one is the famous Bell Beach. You have to go down to the bottom of the cliff to go into the sea. Yunluo and An Chuyu were watching others bravely going into the water to surf. Because of the terrain, the waves here are particularly big, which is especially suitable for surfing.
Next, we went from Torquay to Lorne, which is the beautiful Great Ocean Road. We arrived at Lorne after enjoying the scenery along the way. It was already around 3 p.m. after checking in. Lorne Hotel, Yunluo and Anchuyu stayed at the nearby Cumberland Lrne Resrt. The room was large and the hotel facilities were complete. There was a children's playground on the coast not far from the hotel.
Many children were playing there. The little girl from Australia passed easily, but Yunluo and Anchuyu could only pass 1000 at most. I couldn't help but sigh that the physical fitness of children in China is very different. We had dinner at Chpstix in the small town, which is a ramen restaurant with multi-national flavors and tasted good. We set off early in the morning and went to TeddysLkut, which was kilometers away from the hotel.
Here you can see the whole picture of the Great Ocean Road. The scenery on the Great Ocean Road is beautiful, but the road is very narrow, so drive carefully. It is a special project in the rainforest of the Great Otway region. There are two main selling points, one is the treetop walk on the trail, and the other is the wire flight in the picture above. The former has a wider audience, and the latter is more adventurous, and the price is the former.
Times, reservations and on-site training are required. The ticket office shows that the treetop walk ticket is AUD/person, and the ticket purchased in advance at Lrne is AUD/person. twayFlyTreetpWalk This is a well-preserved tropical rainforest. The trees are towering, and the tallest tree can reach meters. In order to facilitate tourists, an aerial corridor was built in 2011 with an investment of 10,000 Australian dollars.
It is called twayflytreetpwalk, where visitors can walk on the treetops. It is the longest and highest forest viewing corridor in the world, up to meters long and meters high. After lunch, we continued to the last stop of the day, which was to watch the sunset at the Twelve Apostles, the landmark of the Great Ocean Road. Here you can take a helicopter to overlook the most beautiful scenery of the Great Ocean Road.
Layers of sea water hit the Great Ocean Road. The Twelve Apostles are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. It is very shocking to see them from a helicopter. In the evening, after watching the Twelve Apostles, Yunluo and Anchu arrived at the PrtCampbellParkviewMtel&Apartments Motel, which is kilometers away from the scenic spot. After settling down for a while, they went to the town for dinner. Mussels. Salmon rice.
For the last stop in Australia, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the Puffing Billy Steam Train, which is kilometers east of Melbourne. Passing through Melbourne, the city is quite congested. The Puffing Billy Steam Train is one of the oldest steam trains in Australia and is kilometers east of Melbourne.
The original Puffing Billy Railway was built at the beginning of the century and was mainly used for the development of transportation in remote areas. However, it was officially converted into a sightseeing train in 1930. The railway is 1,000 kilometers long and has become one of the most popular attractions for tourists in Victoria. Belgrave is the starting station, located in the Dunlinlong National Park at an altitude of 1,000 meters. The station is built in the style of a small British country station.
It gives visitors a feeling of tranquility and beauty. The first train departs at 10:00 a.m. every day, passing through the National Forest Park. The scenery is charming and spectacular. After getting up in the morning, Yunluo and An Chuyu planned to walk around the city and walk on the tram streets of Melbourne because the one-day tour to Penguin Island departs in the afternoon.
I wonder what this handsome guy is looking at. Melbourne Railway Station is very old, and you can visit beautiful places inside. I originally planned to go to Melbourne Phillip Island and then go to Chinatown to find a travel agency to book it. However, because we arrived a little late that day, the travel agencies were closed, so after returning to the hotel, I went online to see if I could make a reservation.
Finally, I booked this Penguin Island on Qizhou.com, which was recommended by my friend. It was a one-day tour in Yunluo. The meeting place was in Chinatown. On the way, I passed by Maru Wildlife Park, where there were many kangaroos and koalas. Koalas were super cute. You can hug koalas and take pictures, but the price is a little expensive, so I didn't hug them. Then I went to the chocolate factory, where you can choose to go in or not.
If you want to go in, you need to pay for it yourself. Australian dollars per person. This is the outside of Penguin Island. The Sea Lion Rock has repaired a long boardwalk. You can take a leisurely walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You are not allowed to take pictures after entering, because you have to protect the penguins' eyes and they will not be hurt when they go out to sea to catch fish, so there are no photos of the little penguins.
However, I stole a photo from the internet. After visiting Penguin Island, it was already late when I returned to the city. There are basically no cars, so if you are taking a one-day tour, it is best to book a hotel near Chinatown, because the car will take you back to Chinatown. The best way to travel is of course to drive yourself, which is convenient, fast and free. There are many travel agencies in Melbourne that operate one-day tours on the Great Ocean Road.
I personally think that one day is too tight. You will basically be rushing on the road and have no time to appreciate the scenery. I strongly do not recommend it. The Great Ocean Road requires more time to savor and appreciate it carefully. Accommodation: It is recommended to book online in advance. Accommodation in Australia needs to be booked in advance. If you do not have a reservation, you must arrive at the accommodation as early as possible (before get off work) to find accommodation.
It may be very difficult to find accommodation if you wait too late, remember! The quality of youth hostels in Australia is quite high. Day 1: Melbourne (Take M) - Geelong (Take B) - Torquay (Take B) - Anglesea (Take B) - Lorne (Take B) - Apollo Bay (Take B).
Cape Otway (Take B) - Twelve Apstles (Take B) - Port Campbell The specific itinerary is: start from Melbourne, see the puppet sculptures on the beach in Geelong, rest and adjust in Apollo Bay, go to the lighthouse at Cape Otway to watch the sunset, pass by the Twelve Apostles, and solve the food and accommodation directly in Port Campbell.
Day 2: Port Campbell (Take B) - return to Twelve Apstles (Take B) - pass through Port Campbell (Take B) - Warrnambl (Take Princes HWY) - Geelong (Take M) - Melbourne. The specific itinerary is as follows.
In the morning, I checked out of my accommodation and rushed back to the Twelve Apostles to view the scenery. After that, I returned to Port Campbell and then rushed to Warrnambool, the westernmost end of this self-driving trip. Finally, I drove from Warrnambool along the inland Princes HWY all the way back to Melbourne. Australia drives on the left, and I was very uncomfortable at first. I would naturally drive on the right, and I almost drove into the opposite lane a few times.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the driver drove more and more smoothly, making Yunluo and An Chuyu's trip a complete success. In the morning, Melbourne Street first located Geelong and went to WLWRTHS supermarket to buy a lot of food. This supermarket has a special seafood counter and wine shop. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought lobsters, oysters, and wine.
A bunch of beer. Saw the iconic wooden figures on the Geelong beach. These wooden figures were created by local artist Jan Mitchell, inspired by the history of Geelong's Australian Aboriginals, European immigrants and Australians. The colorful human-shaped wooden sculptures in different forms are very interesting. It took a while to get to Torquay.
This is a famous surfing town on the Great Ocean Road. It is less than an hour after arriving at the Great Ocean Road entrance at the Cape Otway Lighthouse. Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at Lorne, the largest town on the Great Ocean Road. Lorne is a health resort town backed by the Otway Ranges, surrounded by mountains and the sea and rainforest. The entire town is only a few hundred meters long.
The houses are colorful. Melbourne city dwellers like to come here for vacation on weekends. People swim, surf, play speedboats, fish in the sea, and barbecue, drink coffee, and sunbathe on the beach. Yunluo and An Chuyu's dinner passing by the Twelve Disciples, the ingredients purchased at WLWRTHS supermarket today, LG cooks, it seems happy if English is not very good.
Yunluo and An Chuyu suggested booking a project on Qizhou.com. Although they had seen negative posts about them online, Yunluo and An Chuyu felt that it was good overall. In business, it is not wrong to promote your own profitable projects appropriately. Moreover, they have many advantages: they speak Chinese, which makes communication easier, they have a good service attitude, and they will give a discount on all projects.
Yunluo and An Chuyu asked the foreign-owned agencies and found that they basically didn't offer discounts. However, it is recommended that friends who book it should confirm their own tour items in advance and not change them easily, so that there may not be so-called misleading. The cable car will stop at Byron Falls on the way up. It may have rained when Yunluo and An Chuyu went there.
Very spectacular. This is a photo I saw at the cable car station, but I didn't buy anything. There are a lot of food in the town, as well as clothes and local accessories for sale. You can buy gifts here. Butterfly Garden Koala. Very cute Kuranda town. There are many boats that go out to sea in Cairns, and there are all kinds of levels and all kinds of play!
For example, staying overnight at sea, fishing, deep and shallow diving, etc.! For tourists like Yunluo and An Chuyu who are not diving enthusiasts, it is recommended to take this kind of big boat. First, it is stable and not easy to get seasick. Second, there are staff to give some simple instructions! Maybe after falling in love with diving in the future, maybe you will choose the professional way to play!
QuickSilver, although there are no Chinese staff and guides. For Yunluo and An Chuyu, English is not too K. It is also suitable, hehe. What is called a wide-body ship? It is said that the larger the ship is, the more stable it is at sea... This is the Port Douglas Pier - from here to board the ship to the Agincourt Reef Platform Agincourt Reef Platform.
Handsome men and beautiful women from abroad all like to sunbathe, but Yunluo, who gets tanned easily by the sun, is really not suitable for this. Instead of sunbathing, get into the water and prepare to snorkel and explore the magical sea world. Many people snorkel there and take pictures with underwater cameras. It’s nice to snorkel freely in the Great Barrier Reef and explore the magical sea world and the underwater world of Agincourt Reef.
All kinds of fish swim freely in the underwater world. There is a buffet lunch with many varieties, and it looks very delicious. After lunch, I felt a little tired, so I rested on the boat. It was the last day, and I watched the sunrise with a hot air balloon. The most exciting activity for Yunluo on the Australian trip was watching the sunrise with a hot air balloon. In addition to airplanes, hot air balloons are the second flying tool that Yunluo rides.
Hot air balloons require high airflow to take off, so most hot air balloon trips are either in the early morning or late evening. Kobe said: Yunluo knows what Los Angeles looks like at midnight! Yunluo said: Yunluo knows what Cairns looks like at midnight! If you want to see unforgettable scenery, you have to get up early. Because the trip does not include breakfast.
I bought milk and pizza at the supermarket the day before, ate a simple meal and waited at the hotel entrance. : At the hotel entrance, I saw no one on the main road in Cairns, and I was really worried whether the driver would come. The fact is that foreigners do things very punctually. : A bus turned in at the intersection, and I got on the bus on time. I slept for an hour on the bus.
The bus finally arrived at the hot air balloon launch site. I didn't know where the bus was going, but when I opened my eyes, I was already in the countryside. Before getting off the bus, the tour guide introduced some safety precautions and asked everyone to set their phones to flight mode. After getting off the bus and stretching, the staff prepared to launch the hot air balloon in the center of the countryside. After the hot air balloon was ready, Yunluo and An Chuyu took off.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The car was rented in advance on the Hertz website. The daily rental fee was AUD. (AUD per day.) After arriving at Melbourne Airport, I bought MaxCver (full insurance) at the counter. If there is any problem with the car, Yunluo does not need to pay a penny, but this insurance makes Yunluo pay more AUD per day. (Total: AUD/day) Parking fees in Melbourne are very expensive.
And the hotel check-in was not available until the afternoon. Fortunately, the hotel chosen by Yunluo and An Chuyu was located in Melbourne's CBD area, and it only took more than ten minutes to walk to Flinders St. Statin. So they parked the car at the hotel (the parking fee was AUD/night, which was already a 50% discount after staying at the hotel), and then walked to Flinders St. Statin.
Melbourne has the most tram lines in the world. There must be a tram passing through the busiest streets and the lines extend to the countryside. Melbourne clings to this ancient means of transportation because it is a cultural city and it is also environmentally friendly. Besides, it is not easy to abandon its world's largest tram network, and it is a pity.
Taking the tram in Melbourne gives you a taste of San Francisco, but what's even better than San Francisco is that the trams have restaurant services. Visitors can take a ride in front of the Metropolitan Museum, go around the city in two hours, eat and watch the night view, and have three or four courses. The price is reasonable. Unfortunately, the restaurant tram was sold out two months ago, so the only option is to try the free sightseeing tram.
In Australia, you can only buy alcoholic drinks indoors or in public places such as bars. It is illegal to drink outdoors! Cigarettes are also expensive. Therefore, only Australia sells cigarettes in packs of ten, and even sells tobacco and cigarette rolling machines. Smokers can bring five packs of cigarettes into the country when passing through customs. In Europe, you can bring one pack of cigarettes. Melbourne Airport Melbourne Airport.
Melbourne Airport Yarra River Melbourne free sightseeing tram, but many locals also take Melbourne. At that time, I bought an alcoholic beverage in Melbourne city and wanted to ask the clerk to help me open it. As a result, the clerk told me that in Australia, buying alcohol or alcoholic beverages can only be consumed indoors or in public places such as bars. It is illegal to drink outdoors.
This brand of juice is well-known in Australia. Sculptures by the Yarra River in Melbourne This building, which is very similar to the Galleria Vittri Emanuele II in Milan, is called the Royal Arcade. It is located in the center of Melbourne and is one of the world's famous existing arcade buildings.
It is a historical heritage building in Melbourne, Victoria. There is a short and narrow indoor street in this arcade, connecting Little Clins Street and Burke Street, and connecting to Elizabeth Street in the west, so this indoor street is T-shaped. As an important Victorian building.

It is famous for its unique architectural style and historic shops on both sides of the street. Melbourne Melbourne night view from the room window Melbourne hotel and dinner hotel: Best Western Riverside Apartments price.
RMB rating: 10 points. Convenient living facilities, located in the city center, only minutes walk to the Yarra River to see the night view, and there is a Cantonese-run Chinese fast food restaurant (Chinese Takeaway) around the corner. It is actually very good to rent such apartments abroad. The kitchen is fully equipped with kitchenware and tableware, and some are also equipped with washing machines and dryers.
The price is cheaper than Htel. The food in foreign restaurants is expensive and I am not used to it. It is a good choice to buy food at the supermarket and cook it at home! Dinner: I originally planned to have dinner on the tram tonight. I thought that adrenaline would offset the fatigue of lack of sleep and running under the scorching sun... After buying sheep oil, papaya ointment, and pstcard, I turned into the supermarket.
Then I went back to the hotel and didn’t want to go anywhere! I had sliced bread from the supermarket, bagged vegetables that had been cut and washed, Thousand Island dressing, bacon, homemade sandwiches, Japanese soy sauce and wasabi from the supermarket, boiled shrimp, and various fruits (Australian figs are worth a try, they are sweet but not greasy, and can be used as a staple food for those who are losing weight). It was a simple and nutritious meal. (~^~)
