Go through security and wait for boarding

Now I'd better play with my cell phone~~

The pure self-help honeymoon in Australia will begin on the 15th. I will update it at any time and look forward to a beautiful journey

The service of the Bank of Australia is really good!

The menu, the service of the Bank of Australia is pretty good^^

Dinner on the plane

Day 2

2013-11-02

And breakfast

It's raining in the forecast. I didn't expect the weather to be so good^^

When I got off the plane, someone came to pick me up and bought an Optus card at the airport ($30, $2, one day domestic free call + 500m3g traffic), so I went back home

I'm at my uncle's. It's good to go home!

At the door of my uncle's house

Our room

After settling down, the whole family went out for lunch (although it was late, a little hungry ~).

Drive all the way to open station, which is one of the places with the largest number of Chinese. You can park here for free until 3:00pm. I chose a Hong Kong Style Tea Restaurant and prepared to eat

I came back from open (one of the most Chinese places) for lunch and went back to my uncle's "gasanhu" to play with his dog. My dinner was made at home and I burned a fish (rainbow fish, named after the color of the stripes on its side, is a kind of rainbow fish). Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture until I finished eating: P walking after dinner in the evening, the light outside is dark ~

The road in the small town is very quiet. We have an early rest here.

This is a kind of eucalyptus tree that can be seen everywhere in the local area. If you take off a leaf and fold it a few times, you can smell a fragrance, that is, the smell of Eucalyptus. There are also eucalyptus trees with relatively wide leaves, which fall all over the ground. The leaves are thick like wood chips. It is said that the leaves will not rot for several years, and then dry. Maybe a cigarette end will burn up and crackle.

I went to visit a friend's house (there are many Chinese living nearby). I heard that there was a local activity today, which lasted for two weeks. I watched fireworks at 9:00. It seems that I'm lucky^^

The local oranges at my friend's house taste like oranges.

To the place of activity -- Campbell   Town, it seems very busy. It is said that the activities (organized by the municipal government) here are usually on the first weekend of a month, which makes us just in time.

Clean streets

See 7eleven? The most convenience stores here~

Beautiful fireworks

Approaching the playground

It's at the gate of the playground!

All kinds of "turn", all kinds of high, once tired, feel back to childhood.

Back home, I only slept for more than 4 hours on board. I need to rest early today.

Day 3

2013-11-03

After breakfast at home, my younger brother took us to the city for a stroll. In fact, the first task today is to buy all kinds of gifts. The task is arduous!

On the way to Sydney, I saw a few private cars towing boats. Australians prefer water sports. It's common to take a boat to sea.

From time to time you can see this kind of tree full of purple flowers, far away there is a piece of purple, especially beautiful~

Urban streetscape

It is said that parking in Sydney is very expensive. In fact, many places can park for free on weekends. You will see such signs, which means that you can park for one hour (1P) from 8:30 to 17:00 from Monday to Friday, and the rest of the time is free. Of course, it's a little distance from the busiest business district, about 10 to 15 minutes' walk.

Beijing Tongrentang Sydney branch!

tram

Sydney's Chinatown is relatively short. You usually pass it when you go to Darling Harbor.

Camels, of course, are not native to Australia.

Arrived at Linggang

Seagulls are everywhere

The photo is not very clear, still can see the white spot in the water, that is jellyfish.

The first ship to Australia

Back from Darling Harbor, lunch is here (because the gift shop is next to it). The environment is very good. I really like this kind of atmosphere.

middle   meal   10 aud / share, not bad?

After lunch, continue to set out, do not forget today's main task: shopping! There is no special brand, but the price is good. We also bought a piece of sheepskin there

Rain   Station, similar to Shanghai's light rail, is Sydney's main means of transportation.

I came out with two big bags, and it was late. I went straight to the parking lot, so I went back to my house

In the evening, I went to Woolworths to buy yogurt. It tastes like cream and vanilla. It's delicious: P

Small box of strawberry yogurt, no addition, such as much thicker oh~~

Day 6

2013-11-06

Today's goal: underwater world, now!

Take a bus to the dock at 7:10 in the morning and leave for the Great Barrier Reef at 8:15. What a big wave ~ ~ although I took the seasickness medicine, I couldn't help vomiting when I came back(

Explain diving skills

Check deep submergence equipment

This time I went to the Great Barrier Reef, I went snorkeling once and deep diving twice (the last one was paid for separately). It was a very special experience. Although I didn't see turtles, I saw Nemo!!!

My diving photos, so   Cool, yeah!

It's finally landed

Take a picture^^

Seasick. I'd better have something simple for dinner~

Ugg store door

Native specialty store

Street Show

Busy night market, open at 17:00 p.m., you can find the local newspaper group agent near the port, the price is more favorable, cheaper than booking directly in the hotel (the hotel charges the introduction fee), because we are not familiar with it, we ordered directly in the hotel, 185aud / person (37 of which is the introduction fee).

Emergency department

Day 7

2013-11-07

Leisure street sweeping

Lunch: Ramen + Sushi

To the dock again

Helicopter platform

Open air swimming pool, the life of the people here is so comfortable~

Cairns city hall and Library

I bought dinner in a hurry (ready to eat on the plane) and rushed to Melbourne in the evening. Today, I had bad luck. I was checked the weight of luggage and contraband. The 18:20 flight was half an hour late and it was 23:10 when I got to Melbourne. I'm afraid it's almost 00 when I got to the hotel(

The night scene photographed on the plane is more beautiful than the one photographed!

Finally arrived at Melbourne Airport, only four gates of Melbourne Airport, much smaller than expected

It's just after 12 o'clock when I get to the hotel checkin. It's a backpacker hotel. There are access control and narrow aisles everywhere. I can't tell you a different feeling.

I bought two sykbus airport urban round-trip tickets at the exit of the airport, 28aud / person (about 50 one-way taxi). Before 17:00 every day, we can pick them up and send them to the hotel for free. Unfortunately, we were too late, so we had to take a taxi after arriving at the central railway station (for the time, we paid $9.5 and finally gave $10). On the way, I read the urban area of Melbourne and looked at the Google map. In fact, the urban area of Melbourne is really small. It's just a few streets across. The atmosphere is a bit like Shanghai. I feel it's not strange.

I bought two sykbus airport city round trip tickets at the airport exit, 28aud / person

Space   Hotel, backpacker Hotel, this is the worst night we stayed in. We shared the bathroom and toilet, but fortunately, it was a quiet city facing the street and looking out of the window. It's not far from the city center, it's very close to the museum, so it's quite convenient to travel. I'm really tired. I don't think about anything. I just fall asleep.

Day 8

2013-11-08

Today is a cloudy and rainy day. Walking out of the hotel, the fresh air, clean street and breeze make me feel fresh and energetic.

It's 10 o'clock. We have to solve the problem of "Gulu Gulu" first, and come out of the hotel all the way along Victoria   St walks along and sees n restaurants, but none of them is open. I really doubt the work and rest here. Maybe this is the first time that we deeply feel the life of Australia and the inconvenience it brings us (later on Tasmania Island), but we can only buy 2 packets of biscuits in a convenience store to satisfy our hunger, Then straight into the Queen Victoria Market.

M! Our Savior!

Walk a few blocks, far away to see m eye-catching mark, finally have breakfast to eat!!! Sitting on the side of the road, eating M's beef rolls and French fries, watching pigeons fly around freely, it's really good! And this is opposite the Queen Victoria Market

Here is the local people's vegetable market, three-stage distribution, all kinds of seasonings, bread, desserts... All kinds of seafood, meat and poultry... All kinds of vegetables, fruits... And the price is real!

The master took the initiative to take pictures of the biggest fish in the shop. The advertisement was well done

All kinds of vegetables

Area Meat & Fish

I bought half a dozen oysters in the seafood market, and a lemon in the fruit market. Then I went to the opposite m and asked for two packets of salt and pepper. I started to enjoy the delicious food

Half a dozen oysters, the meat is good and plump

Grocery market

All kinds of fruits

From the Queen Victoria Market, along Elizabeth Street all the way to the old railway station.

Bicycle rental point

Finally, I arrived at the old railway station, which I had heard for a long time.

Church diagonally opposite the railway station

I met a carriage by the side of the road

Victoria Art Center from the opposite side of the road

Walking back to the hotel from the railway station, it began to rain in Melbourne. At 14:00 p.m., take the SkyBus shuttle bus to transfer to the airport at the central railway station. The next stop is Tasmania, which we have been looking forward to for a long time. We are about to start a 6-day self driving self abuse tour for two people. So the travel notes are too long http://you.ctrip.com/travels/cradlemountainlakestclairnationalpark15809/1614160.html
