About visa:

There are enough explanations on the requirements and material preparation of Australian visa on the Internet, so I won't repeat them. We bought the visa on Taobao. Com. We caught up with double 11 and got 40 yuan cheaper each. If you can't submit the materials by yourself, you can also mail the materials directly to the embassy, but it's more convenient to use an intermediary. He can check the materials for you in advance, so as to prevent the missing materials from the embassy, which is too time-consuming. What we got this time was multiple round-trip visa for one year. The waiting time for visa was four weeks. The materials were submitted to the Embassy on November 14, and the visa was sent to the mailbox on December 12. Generally speaking, there will be no problem with Australia's individual tourist visa, but just in case, we should try to advance it as far as possible and set aside the time for the second visa after the visa is refused. After the visa is successful, you will receive the notification and e-visa from the embassy. The main terms include:

About air tickets:

We bought the domestic air tickets to Australia eight months in advance, and we started the return air tickets about half a year in advance. In Australia, only Perth Cairns tickets are reserved about half a year in advance, because the suitable time and flight options for this journey are very limited. In order to buy the time you like, you bought the tickets early. Most of the other tickets in Australia are bought more than two months in advance. Basically, when you see airlines' annual celebrations, Christmas and boxing day, there will always be surprises. Before, I met the Aussie Jetstar Festival and bought one for free. At that time, I didn't set the time. For domestic round-trip tickets to Australia, you can pay attention to AirAsia's wechat, and push special tickets in time. You often have a look at them, and know well about the ticket price fluctuation of the journey you are going to take.

As far as the airlines of this trip are concerned, all the domestic flights to and from Australia by Asian airlines stop in Kuala Lumpur for more than an hour. Unfortunately, all the round-trip flights of Air Asia have met the situation of "flight cancellation", so we have to change the ticket to two days in advance for the departure and one day in advance for the return. For both of us who have free time on the route, it's not a problem to change the flight, but if you are a passenger with fixed time, or you have a very tight schedule, it will be more troublesome. This paper analyzes the cancellation and rescheduling dates of the flights of Air Asia, and finds that the flights on Saturdays, Sundays and Sundays will not be cancelled, while the flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are easy to be cancelled.

Airlines in Australia took virgin, Jetstar and tiger airlines this time, with a punctuality rate of 100%. Hu Hang's carry on luggage is 10kg, and Jiexing's carry on luggage is 7kg. In the airports of Keynes, Melbourne and other cities with more tourists, we have seen or experienced the situation that airlines check the weight of their luggage. Once they are overweight, they will be asked to pay extra money or go to the counter to buy their luggage. So if you have carry on luggage, you'd better control the weight. If you don't buy your luggage temporarily at the airport check-in counter in Australia, it's free of charge (which is inconsistent with the previous online check-in charge). You can go to the airport to see if there is self-service. Even if there is no luggage, you can choose mobile phone check-in or queue up at the check-in counter.

About accommodation:

Except for Tasmania, where the whole stay is reserved by friends and Sydney, most of the other accommodation is reserved before departure in China. Only two-day accommodation on Dayang road is reserved by mobile phone about 10 days in advance, and two-day accommodation in Melbourne is reserved about a week in advance. Most of the accommodation uses elong's website. After comparing the prices of elong with Ctrip, Agoda and booking, it is found that the same hotel with the same room type is much cheaper. Therefore, it is necessary to compare many hotels. Even if the introduction of the same hotel on different websites is slightly different, the information of many websites can be integrated, Including whether we are most concerned about the "independent bathroom", "parking lot", "air conditioning", "kitchen" and other information. However, the limitation of elong is that the choice of hotels in some areas is not as much as Agoda and booking. Due to not booking Dayang road accommodation in advance, when you want to book, you find that almost all the hotels on Dayang road are full. Finally, you can book the first night's accommodation on Dayang road through airbnb, through the hotel's own website http://portcampbellhostel.com.au/ Book your second night on Dayang road. It's a bit busy to book accommodation when playing on the road. It's suggested to book accommodation as much as possible before traveling. After all, in theory, the longer the advance time is, the cheaper it will be.

About hotels:

Hotels in Australia, whether they are hostels or hotels, are relatively clean. You can refer to them when you book your stay. They don't offer slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste, but they offer bath towels and shampoo. All public toilets in Australia, whether in hotels or on beaches or even in mountainous areas, are equipped with toilet paper. Therefore, toilet paper can be dispensed with, and public facilities are very complete. If you choose an apartment or a house with a kitchen, some kitchens have a complete range of cooking utensils and dishes, while others only have pots and dishes, and do not provide seasoning for cooking. If you plan to cook all the way, you may need to bring your own seasoning. All accommodation places will provide tea, coffee and hot water, but WiFi is usually charged. Even if it is marked with free WiFi, it is free for the first hour or 200MB per person per day. There are few such free WiFi in China. The toilets of several hotels similar to "ordinary rooms" in China are just outside the door, clean and convenient, which is quite different from "ordinary rooms" in China. Most children's shoes focus on whether there is an electric kettle. After all, Chinese people like to drink hot water, while most foreign countries like cold water. There are also air-conditioning and TV (as long as the TV stations in hotels can see it for free, there is no case of mistaking the charging channel and paying extra).

About mobile software:

Although domestic Google maps can't be used, it's easy to use abroad, so you must install one. In addition, we use an app called Ovi map, which can be downloaded and used in China, and can be compared with Google map. Sometimes the bus and route that Google maps can't locate can be searched by Ovi (in the same place, more than one software can check each other, with higher accuracy). In short, when you go out, map and navigation software are essential; Other software, such as TripAdvisor, eLong, Ctrip, QiongYou, qunar, should be provided with some travel website apps; If the language is not good, Google translator, Youdao and travel translator are necessary; You can download another exchange rate exchange tool. If you need tax refund, you need to download the TRS app or log in to the official website in advance http://www.customs.gov.au/trs/startclaim/index.htm It's the same with online tax refund.

Personal experience: every time we travel, we do a lot of homework in advance, find a lot of children's shoes strategies on the Internet, sort out and refine as a reference, thank you here. But after all, many things need to be put into practice before they have a say. Many classic scenic spots, routes, and strategies on major websites are very mature, so we may not repeat them here. Therefore, we write down the information that we think is of great reference value after practice in our personal experience, hoping that children's shoes can find valuable information in this section.

DAY 1

scheduling:

Spring Airlines leaves Dalian at 18:10 p.m. and arrives in Shanghai at 20:10 p.m.

Cost:

Air ticket (Dalian Shanghai) 418 RMB / double, no accommodation

Personal experience:

1.Shanghai Pudong Airport's domestic arrival and domestic departure are interlinked. If the next flight is still in Pudong and there is a long time interval between them, and you don't need to claim your luggage, get off the plane and don't come out. It's a good choice to wait in the arrival hall. There are few comfortable people and free wifi.

2.Before going out, the printed materials include: e-visa for Australia, air tickets and itineraries for each journey, boarding pass for Shanghai Perth. As AirAsia checks in online half a month in advance, tiger Airlines checks in online 72 hours in advance, and Jetstar checks in online 48 hours in advance, most of the checks cannot be completed in advance. The printed e-visa is not used in the customs clearance and other itineraries, but it is well prepared. Because there are altogether ten flights this time, printing out the ticket itinerary is helpful to confirm the time at any time.

3.Half a month before departure, we received a short message from Air Asia saying that our scheduled flight from Shanghai to Perth on February 3 was cancelled, so we called the customer service of Air Asia and changed it to the flight from Shanghai to Perth on February 1 (just dial the domestic customer service of Air Asia, as long as it is due to the problems of the airline, the change is free). Two weeks before the trip, we should pay close attention to whether Air Asia will cancel the flight. Before returning, I received an email from Air Asia saying that the scheduled flight from Sydney to Beijing on March 3 had been cancelled, so I entrusted my friends in China to call to help me change it to Sydney to Beijing on March 2. At that time, due to the cancellation of flights, I checked the tickets of several days nearby and found that the flights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were cancelled, while the flights on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday were reserved. I only blame myself for buying flights on Tuesday. Therefore, before buying Air Asia flights, especially long-distance flights, we must take into account the risk of flight cancellation (I don't know whether it is a consistency issue or the impact of the previous Air Asia plane crash).

4.Even if you have checked in online, you need to change your boarding pass at Pudong airport. If you leave from China, you can get a connecting boarding pass. Now, there is no case that the customs does not release your boarding pass because there is no next boarding pass due to e-visa. (the official microblog of Beijing and Shanghai Customs has a clear explanation for this kind of problem. Looking at the strategy before, many people will struggle with this problem, Generally speaking, all boarding personnel are required to go to the counter to weigh their carry on luggage. But the domestic requirements are not strict, a person to check-in said also muddle through. When I came back from Sydney Airport, I was very strict. I saw that someone was asked to weigh their luggage and pay for the overweight fee at the gate.

5.Every time we travel, we each have a backpack. This time, we have: changing clothes, a pair of lady's sandals, a pair of simple slippers, an SLR camera, a digital camera + waterproof case, two sets of snorkeling Glasses + breathing tube, two mobile phones, seasickness medicine, umbrella, two pairs of sunglasses, a water cup, a lunch box, a power converter, several chargers, portable tableware, bank card, ID card Australian currency exchange and pen and print strategy. I took a small messenger bag with me, which contained documents and boarding passes that I needed at any time. Credit card we use the dual currency credit card of China Merchants Bank, and the savings card carries a debit card of Ping An Bank, because the first five withdrawals (domestic and overseas) of Ping An Bank's gold card each month are free of handling charge. When I left, I had 6400 Australian dollars in cash, which was just enough (including buying air tickets for my friends before and returning 1400 Australian dollars in cash to my friends in Sydney; Friends booking Tasmania car rental accommodation, a total of 1200 Australian dollars to friends; Finally, I bought an iPhone 6 plus, which cost 958 Australian dollars (in cash). The rest was for daily expenses.

DAY 2

scheduling:

Air Asia departs from Shanghai at 01:20 in the morning, arrives at Perth Airport at 14:20 in the afternoon, goes out of customs, takes bus 37 to downtown Perth and lives in Perth.

Route details:

We arrived at Perth Airport at 2:30 p.m. on time. Because we didn't check our luggage, we got off the plane and went straight out of the gate. Domestic e-passport can self print a queuing paper on the machine at the exit, and then queue through the customs. When we throw the epidemic prevention form filled in the plane into a special carton, and then go to line up to check the luggage, the two of us, who only have backpacks, are assigned to the sniffer dog for inspection. If there is no problem, they are released. The total time is less than 10 minutes.

When you come out of Perth Airport, take the airport free Ferry Bus to Terminal T3 / T4, get off and walk back 20 meters to the No. 37 bus stop. It's 4.4 Australian dollars per person (you'd better not use large denomination, but you can go to the money exchange point to exchange small denomination before you leave the airport). You can reach many places in the city center. Get off and walk to the hotel. Because it's weekend, there is a notice at the door to check in at the reception desk on the other side. Smoothly check in, go out to buy phone cards and food, found that because it is Sunday, the supermarket closed at 5 o'clock, we have finished packing out of time. I had to eat a hamburger. Not very satisfied. I went to the bar again and asked for some food. LG just went abroad, sensitive to the exchange rate, very distressed.

Cost:

Air ticket (Shanghai Perth) 2770rmb / double, route 37 (Airport Downtown) 4.4 Australian dollars / person, dinner beer + beef pie 24.8 Australian dollars, accommodation 409rmb / night

*Only major expenses are recorded in expenditure, not all expenses. RMB is RMB and aud is Australian currency.

Personal experience:

1.Air Asia from Shanghai to Perth has to stay at KLIA airport in Kuala Lumpur for one and a half hours, but the time is still quite tight, and there is little time to eat. There are two security checks during the transfer process. After the second security check, there are several small stalls selling hamburgers and fast food at the terminal of the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, which are not cheap. Or when you enter the international terminal after the first security check, you can go to the McDonald's upstairs to pack and take out.

2.Australian customs inspection is still very strict. Before going out, check whether there are prohibited articles. For carrying more than the amount of cash to normal declaration. As for food, we only brought two packs of biscuits to eat on the plane, not bread and moon cakes with stuffing. A small amount of drugs should be declared, not necessarily checked, but must be declared. When the umbrella is checked, it must be placed outside, with chopsticks and forks.

3.If you don't have any change from the airport, you can change it in money exchange (a small pavilion for foreign exchange). It doesn't need any fees. It's normal business and equal exchange.

4.We live in Perth Royal Hotel in Perth center. It's very convenient to go to the supermarket or visit. We can walk to London street and Swan bells. The entrance is central station and free bus station. It's also very close to the tourist information center, but there is no kitchen or parking lot. For the convenience of travel, it's a good choice to live in the central area. You can go out for a walk at any time in the evening. There is free WiFi on the pedestrian street. But if you want to cook, you have to choose a youth hostel or an apartment hotel.

5.There are four free buses in downtown Perth: red cat, blue cat, yellow cat and green cat, which can reach most of the scenic spots in the city. Don't forget to get free maps, free bus routes and other regional maps and pamphlets about Perth at the airport, tourist center or hotel lobby (there are not too many maps, even the maps of the same area, sometimes the scenic spots on them don't overlap and can complement each other).

6.Perth's five night stay was all reserved at the Perth Royal Hotel. At that time, compared with the prices of elong, Ctrip, booking and Agoda, eLong was the cheapest. The disadvantage is that the introduction on elong is not very detailed, so that we all doubt whether it is the same room type. The reservation includes TV, hoisting fan, air conditioner, small refrigerator, wash basin, electric kettle, ironing board, etc., except that there is no bathroom in the room. The bathroom and bathroom are just outside the door. It's clean.

7.If you don't know about Perth traffic, you can get on http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/ This is the Perth public transport website.

8.The supermarket in Perth usually has different business hours from that on weekends. It closes early on weekends and closes at 5 o'clock on Sundays. If you want to buy something, you should pay attention to the time. There are only two big supermarkets in Australia - Coles and Woolworth. Basically, these two supermarkets can be seen all over Australia. There are many Coles and Woolworth on several pedestrian streets in central Perth.

DAY 3

scheduling:

A one-day tour of rotnister island. Perth takes the city rail to Fremantle, and then takes a boat from b-shed pier to Rottnest island. Play on the island until the afternoon and take the boat back to Perth at 15:55. I live in Perth.

Route details:

In the morning, take a bus at Perth railway station (central STN) next to the hotel, get off at Fremantle STN, get out of the railway station, turn right and walk to b-shed wharf. I bought a round-trip ticket at the dock to go to Rottnest island. The boat still needs more than half an hour, so I went to the street opposite the wharf and saw several caf é shops. I bought sandwiches and coffee, and then walked back to the wharf just to get on the boat. We didn't rent a bicycle in advance. We just walked along the seaside and went to the salt lake in the inland of the island. Although it was very hard, we saw the unique short tailed kangaroo (quokkas) in the forest on the mountain. Not too far from the dock, there was a bathroom for taking a shower, so LG swam in the sea below, and the water was still very cold. It rained a little in the afternoon. When we went to the other side of the wharf, we saw some kangaroos on the side of the road, just like rats, but it was fun. Take the 15:55 p.m. boat straight back to Perth. There's no need to change trains in Fremantle. At Perth wharf, take a look at the Swan bell tower, and then take the blue cat back to the pedestrian street.

Cost:

Central STN Fremantle STN 4.4 Australian dollars per person, round-trip ticket (Fremantle - rotnister Island) 60 Australian dollars per person, island fee 17 Australian dollars per person,

Breakfast 21.5 Australian dollars, supermarket 44.5 Australian dollars, accommodation 409 RMB / night

Personal experience:

1.As a tourist, you can only buy standard (there are many choices on the self-service ticket machine, tourists can only buy standard, the other two are all for discount or students, tourists can't enjoy it, if you don't know, you can ask the security personnel). It's 2 zones from the railway station to Fremantle, 4.4 Australian dollars per person, about half an hour.

2.After arriving at frenmantle railway station, turn right out of the station and go straight along the street to the right hand. About ten minutes walk to the railway track and turn right. You can see a big B, which is b-shed wharf. Or take the red cat opposite the railway station, and the terminal is b-shed wharf.

3.Although there is a direct ship from Perth to rotnister Island, it is recommended to take a train to Fremantle first, and then take a boat to rotnister Island, which is cheap and time-saving. When you buy a round-trip ticket at b-shed Wharf in Fremantle, you are told that you need to book the return time, because there is no ticket window on the island. Only the boat returning at 15:55 can directly return to Perth. If you are not in a hurry, you can take this boat directly back to Perth. The price is the same as that of Fremantle, and you can have a look at the sea scenery along the way. Arriving at Perth wharf, blue cat goes to the city center or North Bridge. Specific ferry time can be inquired http://www.rottnestexpress.com.au/ perhaps http://www.rottnestisland.com/travel-to/by-ferry 。 It should be noted that almost most of the return ferries end at b-shed, and only the 15:55 ferries return to Perth. Of course, you can also go back to frenmantle and then change the train back to Perth, but it costs an extra train. It's much more expensive to buy a direct round-trip ticket from Perth ferry.

4.At the airport, there is a pamphlet of Hello Perth, which contains various introductions of Perth's tourist attractions, restaurants and so on, as well as some discount coupons on one page. For example, if you want to ride a bicycle on Luo Island, you can use a discount coupon of the bicycle rental + boat ticket package when you buy a boat ticket.

5.Train tickets are sold automatically by machine. If there is no change, there is a change machine beside it to change. If you can't use it, you can ask the passers-by nearby. The local people are very enthusiastic.

6.Rotnister island is very big. It's unrealistic to walk. There are buses on the island, but it should be a long distance, because we haven't seen it all the time, and we don't know whether the bus is free or not. After going to the island, there is a tourist center, which can specifically ask about the bus or route. We walk along the seashore to the fork point of inland salt lake, and then walk towards the salt lake. After passing the salt lake, we walk back to the wharf. It takes about three or four hours. If you want to travel around the island, you should rent a bicycle.

7.On the island, not far from the wharf, there is a bathroom for shower (the map on the island is marked, and there is a map for buying a boat ticket on the wharf or in the tourist center). There is a small shed near the bathroom, which is a free rest point. There are various seasonings, stoves and buckets of mineral water for drinking. You can cook and drink here.

8.Sun protection we bought Nivea 50 + 200ml directly from Woolworth supermarket. It's less than 20 Australian dollars (discount is only 10 yuan). We didn't bring it from China. First, we didn't want to check luggage. Second, we didn't think it was necessary.

DAY 4

scheduling:

Fremantle city tour. I live in Perth.

Route details:

In the morning, take the city rail to Fremantle railway station, walk opposite the railway station and go straight to the Information Center (there are directions on the way). After you get the map in the information center, you can walk around the small town. Fremall is the oldest city in Western Australia, and there are many to see in the city. I went to the old prison, the round house, the football field and various churches. I took the free bus to the Maritime Museum at the wharf to see the submarines outside. In a word, if you can take a free bus, you can take a bus. If you can't, you can walk. In the evening, I went back to Perth to apply for a phone card. These days, I have been using the outdoor public free WiFi, so I can finally use the traffic to access the Internet in the room.

Cost:

Central STN Fremantle STN 4.4 Australian dollars per person, telephone card 30 Australian dollars (valid for 30 days), accommodation 409 RMB per night

Personal experience:

1.There are two free buses in Fremantle, red cat and blue cat. They all pass the railway station, and red cat ends at the wharf.

2.The information center has detailed maps to take, and basically all the scenic spots can be reached on foot (although it is a small city, there are many planned tourist routes, which can be studied carefully). There is a PaiQin that can be knocked on the pedestrian street in front of the information center. The sound is very good. You can try it.

3.The calling card we bought is an optus30 day calling card, with 1.5g traffic per month, about 300-400 minutes of local calls, and 5 yuan for free. Extra credit can make international calls. According to the instructions, it's 2 cents a minute to call back home, but we don't have any money after 10 minutes of domestic calls. I called the customer service and asked, but the customer service couldn't figure it out, so they had to send us another 10 Australian dollar extra credit. This extra credit is only used for international calls. Even if there is no money, it will not affect the normal use of other services. If you want to apply for a phone card, you should ask more whether it's Optus, Telstra or Vodaphone. After all, the discounts are different in each period.

4.As far as the signal is concerned, if you want to go to remote places, such as Tasmania or go to sea, Telstra has a signal (we are at sea, others' Telstra has a signal, but my Optus doesn't have one). The Optus signal is poor, for example, there is no signal on the way to the peak Stonehenge. But the signal of Optus is better than Vodaphone. When I was in Tasmania, my Optus could connect to the Internet, but my friend's Vodaphone had no signal. So if you just play in the city, it doesn't matter which company you choose. If you go to a remote place and need mobile navigation, you can buy a Telstra phone card, although it's more expensive.

5.Most hotels in Australia don't have free Wi Fi and need to pay for it. Youth hostels will have free WiFi, but it is often free for the first hour, or limit 200MB of traffic a day and so on, so it is necessary to set up a phone card with larger traffic. There may be free WiFi in the information centers of various cities, airports, museums and other places, and you need to log in (Cairns Airport is a charging WiFi).

6.Fremantle's famous old prison is free of charge. A small platform above the round house is for donations to enter.

DAY 5

scheduling:

Sightseeing in Perth. I live in Perth.

Route details:

In the morning, I went out to Swan River, convention and Exhibition Center, Western Australia Museum, Western Australia Art Center and other museums. Thanks to the four free buses in Perth, I went to see the barracks gate and the parliament building.

Cost:

Accommodation 409rmb / night

Personal experience:

1.Make good use of maps and free bus, which is both economical and comfortable.

2.The Western Australia Museum and the Western Australia art museum are relatively close to each other. They can be completed together for free. At other times, we just take the bus around. Maybe we can go to the Swan River or the seaside, get off to play for a while and then come back, or we can go back to the destination; You can also go to Beiqiao district. The so-called artistic atmosphere is quite strong.

DAY 6

scheduling:

One day self driving tour of the pinnacles. I live in Perth.

Route details:

In the morning, I went to budget to pick up the car I ordered online last night. I learned that unlimited mileage on the Internet refers to unlimited mileage in the urban area (I'm going to negotiate with the website about this. After all, many children's shoes will be misled). I need to add a $0.25 per kilometer to get out of the urban area. If it's rush hour, I need to charge an extra $110 to go back and forth, so I'll give up decisively. Go to the nearby Hertz car rental, car + all risks is 90.8 Australian dollars (free to upgrade to 1.8 Toyota Corolla), unlimited mileage, insurance to zero, seize the time to pick up the car and go to the peak of Stonehenge. The scenery is good all the way, from the highway to the grassland to the white sand dunes and the sea. Three hours later, I arrived at the peak of the stone circle. I drove in for a turn, and then walked along the walking route. It was too dry. Return to Perth after 4 o'clock to deliver the car, pay cash (1.5% service charge for credit card), go back to the city and walk around London street and nearby churches.

Cost:

Car rental + all risks insurance 90.8 Australian dollars / day, peak Stonehenge ticket 12 Australian dollars / car, refueling 39 Australian dollars, accommodation 409 RMB / night

Personal experience:

1.If you book a car on the rental car one day in advance, it is also stated that there is no limit to the mileage. When you arrive at the store, you will know that there is no limit to the mileage in the city. It is 0.25 Australian dollars per kilometer out of the city, so you must ask at the counter before you rent the car. As for car insurance, some car rental companies also have all risks insurance, but the minimum amount of compensation is 350-400 Australian dollars, that is, no matter how serious the accident is, they only need to pay 350-400 Australian dollars. Some insurance companies have zero all risks compensation (according to the previous strategy, it seems that only Hertz has zero compensation, others have minimum compensation), that is, no matter how serious the accident is, we don't need to pay extra. When we rent a car in Hertz, we get zero all risks compensation (although we rent a car in Australia for the first time, we have seven years of driving experience all year round, but after all, we drive on the right-hand drive, for fear that the mood will be affected by the accident and the journey will be delayed). This depends on the policy of the car rental company. There is no way to choose whether the compensation amount is zero or the minimum amount. As far as the actual experience is concerned, we can rent a car directly at the counter. Even in the summer peak season, we still have a car, and the price is no more expensive than that on the website. If we don't need to rent a car as soon as we arrive at the destination, we can take a brochure or go to the store in person to make a decision. However, it's understandable that when we go out, we still want to deal with it well in advance, and so do we. However, the temporary processing was also very smooth.

Car rental companies have the smallest number of mini cars and the largest number of medium-sized cars, especially those like Toyota Corolla. They usually give you free upgrades. Four people are just right. If there are two people, the car is more fuel-efficient.

2.When you pick up or return the car, you have to return it with full oil. The so-called full oil means that the fuel gauge reaches F, so you can calculate when you refuel. As long as the fuel gauge just reaches F, you don't need to fill the tank. When we rent a car at Hertz, they have a policy that they can buy half a tank of oil in advance from their company. Of course, it's a little cheaper than the market price (2 or 3 cents / liter). If half a tank of oil is left in the car when we return the car, we don't need to refuel (it's suitable to return the car in a hurry and have no time to find a gas station). We didn't choose this way. After filling up, LG calculated that this way is not as cost-effective as refueling to f (it must be more than 500 kilometers to and fro jianfengshizhen, a tank of oil. When you come back, you must go to the gas station to fill up. The half tank of oil calculated by the car rental company is calculated according to half of the tank capacity. People who actually drive know that there will be a lot of difference between filling up and filling up to F, So it's more cost-effective to refuel on your own. You can save 8 or 9 Australian dollars. For children's shoes that are not bad money, skip ^ - ^).

3.When Perth goes out of the city, the road is a little complicated. It needs to use navigation software. You can use mobile phone navigation or download the map route in advance to get familiar with it in advance. Google maps or Ovi Maps can provide accurate navigation. It's easy to drive when you get on the road to jianfengshizhen. There are few cars and the road is straight. The signs on the road are very clear. There are signs when you get to jianfengshizhen. So it doesn't matter if the mobile phone doesn't have a signal on the road of the peak Stonehenge, as long as there is a signal near the urban area to be able to navigate. Navigation and positioning can find the pinnacles or nambang National Park.

4.It is said that sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful things in jianfengshifen. You can't go back and forth in one day to watch sunrise and sunset. You need to stay in Cervantes, a small town nearby, for one night.

5.There are few cars on the road to the peak Stonehenge, and there are few towns. Make sure your car doesn't break down because you don't have enough oil.

6.Hertz charges a 1.5% service charge for credit card payment. In fact, many places in Australia charge a service charge for credit card swiping. Before swiping the card, you should ask clearly or pay cash directly (with a reminder, small places should not use credit card as far as possible to prevent stolen cards).

7.If you can't return the car in time, ask where you want to return the car, just leave it at the door of the rental company, or return it to other stores of the rental company. For example, Hertz bought all risks insurance this time. Even when the counter is off duty, just park it outside the door and put the key in the key barrel, because it's all risks insurance, Even if it is damaged and stolen, the company will not look for you, ha ha. However, if you have the insurance with the lowest amount of compensation, you'd better go to the counter, or you'll always worry about whether the car will be scratched or stolen after it's returned. Because you've seen other people's posts before, there have been similar cases. You'd better be careful.

8.Within a few months after renting a car, pay attention to your credit card information, whether you have inexplicable deduction records, whether it's because of traffic violations or malicious deduction. If you find out, you can tell the bank to suspend payment at the first time when you can't be sure, and then make sure you understand. If it's really your own problem, you can give money to others. If it's not, The card cancellation shall be submitted to the international UnionPay for arbitration (I have seen similar incidents of other children's shoes before traveling).

DAY 7

scheduling:

Visit mint, St. Mary's church, St. George's church and Kings Park. Jetstar flies to Cairns at 21:55 in the evening. No accommodation.

Route details:

Today is the last day in Perth. I checked out in the morning and went to Perth Mint with my bag on my back. I charged for it. After thinking about it, I went in. There is a gold casting exhibition in the mint. It's still very enjoyable to melt six kilograms of gold and then cast it into gold nuggets. Don't forget to weigh how much gold you are worth today, and then lift a gold nugget worth 200000 Australian dollars. Finally, we customized a commemorative coin for the 10th anniversary of our marriage, and gave it to ourselves as a gift for the 10th anniversary of our marriage. Out of the mint, go to St. Mary's and St. George's churches, both of which are magnificent and can be visited. Then take a free bus to the North Bridge District for a turn, and then take the king's Park to take the famous tree top trail and DNA tower in King's Park. Sleeping on the lawn in the afternoon, some wild ducks come to make trouble. Take a bus to the airport at the No.37 departure station of King's park around 6:00, and fly to Cairns around 10:00 in the evening.

Cost:

Admission to mint is a $19 per person, commemorative is a $49, route 37 (King's Park Airport) is a $4.4 per person, Perth Cairns is a $395 per person,

Personal experience:

1.In my opinion, Perth Mint should go in. After all, it's the oldest Mint still in use in Australia (in addition, it's one of the oldest Mint still in use in the world, ha ha). Compared with domestic tickets, tickets are not exorbitant. The demonstration of gold nuggets inside is the most interesting. At least it's hard to see it outside. It's unique.

2.As an art district, Beiqiao district is said to have some performances in the evening. Those who are interested can focus on them.

3.The treetop trail in King's Park is not long. It's similar in other parts of Australia, but it should be taken once.

4.If you take a bus from King's Park to the airport, you should pay attention to the departure schedule. Not all 37 buses leave from King's Park. Some 37 buses start at the first stop or the first two stops of King's Park, and the terminal station may not be the airport. You can take a schedule in advance on the airport or 37 bus (the bus here, every day, the departure place of each bus, the departure time of each bus, the departure time of each bus) The time and arrival time are very accurate).

5.Most of the flights from Perth to Cairns take more than ten hours to bypass Sydney and other places. The only direct flight is Jetstar 21:55. If you need to go from Perth to Cairns, you'd better check the tickets early.

At the end of the trip to Perth, let's add a little bit. On the pedestrian street in the Central District, there will be a lot of buskers performing in the evening, which can be regarded as lively, but there will also be similar domestic gangsters or bad teenagers who make trouble and rob things!! We personally met once, a less than 20-year-old girl, up to grab your mobile phone, grab not to run, it is terrible!! So, if you don't want to travel with more people, or if it's too late, don't go out. After all, nightlife bar culture is still very popular in foreign countries. Even if there's no malice, it's hard to be scared when you meet young people like drunkards.

Look at your value, hehe

DAY 8

scheduling:

16:15 a.m. to Cairns. A one-day tour of the Daintree rain forest in Cairns. Stop Keynes.

Route details:

Cairns arrived at Cairns Airport at 4:00 a.m. local time, waited at the airport for a while, and set out to the scheduled assembly place. Because we had plenty of time, we walked from the airport. After a while, an airport commuter bus offered to take us to the nearest intersection for free (later, we learned that the road from the airport to the urban area was not set for pedestrians. At a corner along the way, there was a tragedy just a while ago, so the driver was kind-hearted and would like to thank him here). When I got on the bus at the assembly site, it was almost 7:30. It was a group of foreigners. The weather in Cairns has been rainy for a while. According to the itinerary, I went to an animal habitat in Port Douglas, which is actually a zoo. Kangaroo is more fun than koala. Out of the zoo, go to Mossman gorge and take Captain Cook highway on the way. The guide said that this is the most beautiful highway in Australia (it seems to be a world heritage) and even beyond the ocean road. The weather is overcast, with rainforest on one side and beach on the other, which is very impressive. It's less than an hour's walk from Mossman gorge to lunch. In the afternoon, I took a cruise to see the rain forest for an hour, and I was able to see the crocodiles on the shore (I only saw two crocodiles lying in the swamp in the distance in the whole journey. Fortunately, one of them was very big, which was lucky). I prefer this arrangement. It's more than five o'clock on the way back to Cairns. I stayed in Bohemia resort Cairns, which I had reserved in elong before. It's the cheapest place to stay in the whole trip, but it's not bad.

Cost:

Dancui rainforest one day tour (including lunch and zoo) 149aud / person, accommodation 205rmb / night

Personal experience:

1.The one-day itinerary of dancui rainforest was ordered on renyou.com at the end of 14. At that time, we compared Aole with Renyou and negotiated with Renyou's customer service. We got a better price than Aole.

2.The day tour we ordered includes zoo and lunch. If it doesn't include lunch and zoo, it will be cheaper. But I think it's more cost-effective. It's good to eat steak for lunch.

3.Keynes's weather in the rainy season is really not very good. It's very similar to the sauna day in the south. It's stuffy and wet. It rains a lot. I don't know if I can see a sunny day after going to sea.

4.We live in Bohemia resort Cairns, which is very big, several floors, with kitchens for cooking. 200MB free traffic per person per day. The rooms we reserved included a wash basin, ceiling fan, refrigerator (old but very cold) and TV. But the bath and toilet are public. There are four or five on the first floor, which is very convenient.

5.Keynes and Perth have a two-hour time difference.

DAY 9

scheduling:

Cairns in the morning, 15:15 in the afternoon, 15:25 in the afternoon, and south bank parks in the evening. Live in Brisbane.

Route details:

Wake up naturally in the morning, then check out and pack to Cairns Airport (although there is no sidewalk, but there is grass under the roadbed), the rain is intermittent. As soon as I get to the airport, I pass a mangrove wetland. There is a wooden plank road leading to the forest. There are many small crabs below. Take the afternoon flight to Brisbane. Take the train to the central railway station, although bought a round-trip ticket, but the advertisement on the train found that if you buy train tickets online can also discount. Get off at the downtown station and walk six or seven minutes to the scheduled Annie's Shandon inn. After checking in, hurry to the south bank parks. You will pass the city hall on the way. It's magnificent. At the beginning of the Lantern Festival, the south bank park was very beautiful. Many citizens rest on the artificial beach or swim in the swimming pool. The Nepalese wooden pagoda left after the Shanghai World Expo was moved here to keep it, just in the small artificial rainforest. Just held the Asian Football Cup, the city is really good.

Cost:

Cairns - Brisbane air ticket 155aud / double, train 32aud / round trip per person, stay 89aud / night

Personal experience:

1.WiFi at Cairns Airport is charged.

2.Cairns Airport on the road near the airport there is a mangrove wetland, a wooden plank road, you can walk, free shoes can turn around. However, the airport road more cars, fast speed, if you walk to pay attention to safety.

3.There is a 10% discount for online tickets in Brisbane http://www.airtrain.com.au/ If it's round-trip shoes, don't forget to buy a round-trip ticket.

4.Brisbane's south bank park is more charming at night than during the day. There are Ferris wheel, art theater, a large artificial beach swimming pool, and nine kinds of flowers. The town hall will be open at 10 a.m.

5.Brisbane accommodation is reserved on Ctrip for Annie's Shandon inn. In fact, Ctrip is also related to booking. A private hotel in the center of the city, the owner is an old couple, very lovely, morning also pack breakfast, but is cereal milk toast and so on. The room is not big, with a bed, a bedside table, a wardrobe, and a public rest space on the terrace outside.
