#australiatravel Darling Harbour is a romantic name! Many small yachts are moored in the port, surrounded by modern high-rise buildings, and there are many museums and aquariums nearby... When you can visit, the scene of lighting the lights at night is very charming; Pyrmont Bridge connects the east and west sides, and is open to pedestrians for walking leisurely to enjoy the beautiful scenery; Darling Harbour, famous for its nightlife and beautiful harbor night view, is worth stopping by.#Great #australiatravel #localguides #Australia #darlingharbour #darling

#australiatravel Australia: New Capitol Blood Capitol, also known as the Canberra Capitol and the Commonwealth Capitol of Australia, is the residence of the Australian Parliament, located in Canberra, the capital territory of Australia. The building was designed by the Mitcher-Girgra Architects. It was put into use on May 9, 1988 by Elizabeth Il, Queen of Australia. At the time of construction, it was the most expensive man-made building in the Southern Hemisphere, costing a total budget of about 1.1 billion Australian dollars. Since Australia is a democracy with federal and cabinet systems, this building is also the core of Australia's executive and legislative power. It's free to visit here, and no reservation is required. As long as it's not a meeting, you can basically visit. You need to go through a simple security check to visit. Then you can basically travel freely.Many local students come to visit and study here, and the environment inside is very similar to some modern hotels. I feel like I can take my time and watch it for an hour. If you want to park, you have to find a seat outside. It's about 4 Australian dollars per hour, both outside and underground. This is one of the must-see attractions in Canberra, which is worth visiting. #Australia Travel Travel Guide #Australia Travel Guide Travel #Canberra Travel #Canberra Must-Go . #Canberra New Capitol #Australian Capital Play #Canberra Attractions Scenery #Travel Fragments #Go #Big City Little Romance #Travel #Play #You have to see the world to have the world #Travel casual shooting #Travel #Travel around the world #Don't be too reserved when you come out to play #A high-end photo #Unforgettable attractions #Beautiful scenery on the journey #My photography diary

#australiatravel Canberra's Little Country is exquisite and cute Canberra's Little Man's Country is so cute. I really have no resistance to the micro world at all. (Cockington Green Gardens) was built by the Cuckington family for the longing of the British old people. It is a micro-world reduced in a scale of 12:1. Their lives are vividly displayed, including going to church, playing cricket, going to and leaving bars, herding sheep, etc. It's really surprising that the landmark buildings of more than 30 countries could build such an exquisite villain so many years ago. #Canberra Little Country #Little Country #Canberra #Australia #My Daily Life

#australiatravel Stay in Newcastle for a few days and take a one-day trip to Hunter Valley first. The first stop is Hunter Valley Gardens, which is said to be the biggest displaygarden in Australia. It's not bad inside. Some places have been decorated as amusement parks. I don't know if it's for Christmas. #Australian Life #Australia Self-Driving #Travel #Self-Driving Tour #Niche Travel Destination #Australia #Australia Travel #Sydney #Sydney Surroundings #Sydney Surroundings Tour #Sydney Surroundings Travel #New South Wales #New South Wales Tourism

#australiatravel The Great Barrier Reef is relatively large, so it is called The Great Barrier Reef, which is the largest and longest reef in the world. The Great Barrier Reef is located on the northeast coast of Australia in the southern hemisphere, with a total of more than 2,000 kilometers. Because reef magic is closed today, we can only book a sunlover tour and fly back, which is more expensive than going back by boat, but it's really worth 1.5 hours. The boat was thrown back and forth, and half of the life was gone. If the journey is the same, it is estimated that it will take half a day to play. The package includes boat tickets, buffet lunch (prawns are good), glass-bottomed boats, semi-submarines, snorkeling equipment and wetsuits, fish feeding shows, marine animal interaction, etc. In addition, you can spend money to dive, drive a boat to further snorkel, helmet underwater, etc. #Around the World #Water Sports #Glass Sea #Travel #Vacation #Snorkeling #Extreme Sports #Island Tour #Australian Great Barrier Reef #Great Barrier Reef #Australia # Living in Australia

#australiatravel The first stop in Australia was Mouse Island, and finally saw a cute smiling kangaroo. Gram No one can refuse the blue sky and the blue sea, but it's a pity that they don't bring swimsuits. I feel that the locals in Australia are very energetic. They ride bicycles to the sea. Jump in directly, although I also want to On a day of social with all kinds of people, I was pulled by an enthusiastic white old lady to chat for 10 minutes and took pictures with my family. I would like to stay on the island and be a kangaroo #Australia #Mouse Island

#australiatravel Australia • Hotel ~ Melbourne VOco Intercontinental Hotel Check-in Experience On this trip to Australia, I stayed in 8 hotels for 3 nights in Melbourne, Ocean Road, 1 night in Geelong, 1 night in Sydney, and 8 days and 8 nights. It's really full of experience. On the first day in Melbourne, I stayed at the popular hotel voco Intercontinental, which cost 50 to carpool from the airport to the hotel. The door of the hotel is in an alley, which is relatively secretive. When you enter the door, it looks like the decoration in Morandi tone, which is very foreign. There is no one on the first floor. Take the elevator directly to the front desk on the sixth floor. Regarding the use of the elevator (see Figure 4), you still need to read the instructions. Check-in is smooth. You need to prepare a credit card area, and there will be pre-authorization. The cost is 100 The hotel room is booked for a standard twin room, which is about 900rmb excluding breakfast. The night view on the 21st floor is good, overlooking the whole Melbourne city center. The twin room is 27 square meters, which is not big, and the bed is also very narrow. A family of three can barely squeeze together the twin bed. In addition, Australian hotels generally do not have toothbrushes, toothpastes and slippers, so you need to bring your own. The biggest highlight of this hotel should be the excellent location and the standard city center. It takes a few steps downstairs to Chinatown, a famous Internet celebrity Italian restaurant. Max on Hardware is right in Harvey Lane diagonally opposite the hotel. It is very convenient to check in for delicious food, and the atmosphere of that street at night is also great! If you are coming to Melbourne for the first time, this hotel should be your first choice.

#beachtime Sydney's most whitening beach, Hyamsbeach, feel the ultimate blue and white • Hyams beach, Jervis bay Since I experienced 7 hours of driving in a day, there has been no pressure on the one-way trip of two and a half hours. However, because I didn't do any strategy, I didn't go anywhere else. The rolling hills, grasslands, farms and cliffs along the way through Kiama are super beautiful. Unfortunately, I couldn't take photos while driving, so I only stopped for a short time and took two photos. It is the free white beach closest to Sydney, which is extreme and monotonous, that is, the blue sky, the sea and the wide white. Buying a car is definitely one of the wisest choices made in Australia. Finally, you have the ability to go as you want. Thad to be sealed at home because of the continuous rain this week. Now it's very uncomfortable not to go out and have deep contact with nature every week. Let's play last week's photos. Compare the famous beaches within Sydney, bondi or manly, to be more beautiful. Pure, there are few people. I want to go into the water, lie down, or walk along the continuous white beach and watch all kinds of people. I plunged into the sea in various postures. The waves were very big that day. I just stayed in the sea close to the shore and was hit by the waves countless times and drank a lot of seawater. I don't want to say what "Australia's super relaxation" is. If you don't think about what others are doing, what others think, empty all kinds of distractions, and immerse yourself in the world at this moment, you will get your own chilltime healing moment. #australia Travel #australia Seaside #sydney Seaside #sydney Travel #australia Self-Driving Tour #seaside #sydney Weekend #sydney Surroundings #australia

#beachtime Enter the infinity pool.There is a changing room, a lock cabinet, towels for rent, and bondi peripheral T-shirts. You can go in and take photos whether you want to swim or not.Of course, we will go to the beach on weekends~ Bondi Beach has a bus line that can go directly to the beach. On the way, I also passed through the Bondi Westfield Shopping Center. Can I take a look when I go back?There is also a street nearby to eat, coffee and ice cream shops. You can take a taxi, drive, or take a bus. Bondi Beach in Sydney Sometimes I envy the relaxed mental state of Australians. There are many people on the beach at three or four o'clock in the afternoon on weekends, but it's still very good to take a casual photo. I have to say that the sky in Sydney is really blue. #sydney Life #sydney International Students #sydney #sydney #australia #australian part-time job #cotd coffee shop #sydney travel #australia travel #beach

#beachtime You can come to Melbourne - go to Brighton beach~ What is more distinctive is the rainbow the cottage, which is very good for taking photos. The whole coast is in Australia is a little more average. Because it's too sunny, it is recommended to play after 5:00 p.m., so that you can see the beautiful sunset ---The sand on the beach is not very delicate, and there are quite a lot of broken shells. It is recommended to wear shoes well. March 11th happens to be the end of the high temperature for three consecutive days, so the sea temperature is not bad. It is estimated that it is a little cold at ordinary times! Ps: The villas across the street by the sea are very beautiful and distinctive-- - #Australia Travel #Seaside Sunset #Australia Travel Guide #Melbourne

#outdooradventures #australia #victoria #portfairy Located on the southwestern coast of Victoria, Port Fairy is a charming seaside town that captivates with its rich history and natural beauty. Founded in the early 19th century by European settlers, this historic village once served as a whaling and sealing hub before becoming a fishing and trading post. The town’s well-preserved 19th-century architecture reflects its vibrant past, and today, it’s celebrated for its peaceful ambiance and maritime heritage. Located along the iconic Great Ocean Road, about 290 km from Melbourne, Port Fairy boasts a population of just over 3,000 residents, making it an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. With its scenic coastal views, wide sandy beaches, and tranquil river, it’s no wonder Port Fairy is a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and adventure alike. Among the must-visit attractions in Port Fairy is Griffiths Island, where you can spot the historic lighthouse while observing local wildlife, including wallabies and migratory birds. The Port Fairy Folk Festival, held annually, draws crowds from across Australia for its eclectic mix of music and arts. For history buffs, the town’s well-preserved bluestone cottages and grand public buildings offer a glimpse into colonial life. Port Fairy is renowned for its stunning stargazing opportunities. On clear nights, the Milky Way stretches vividly across the sky, offering unparalleled views of constellations. The absence of light pollution in the area ensures that visitors are treated to a pristine celestial display. For early risers, the town’s coastline provides breathtaking sunrises over the Southern Ocean, with the soft hues of dawn casting a magical glow over the water and sandy shores, creating the perfect backdrop for a serene morning by the sea.

Nestled in the stunning Yarra Ranges, Marysville State Forest offers a picturesque escape into nature just 100 kilometers northeast of Melbourne. This serene forest is known for its lush, mountainous landscape, a tapestry of eucalyptus trees, ferns, and waterfalls that has attracted visitors for decades. With its rich history and variety of outdoor activities, Marysville State Forest is an ideal destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. Historically, the area around Marysville was occupied by the Taungurung people, an Indigenous group who lived off the rich land and waterways. European settlement began in the mid-19th century during Victoria’s gold rush, with Marysville established in 1863 as a stopping point for miners traveling to nearby goldfields. The town flourished as a logging hub in the early 20th century, but by the 1920s, its natural beauty made it a popular tourist destination. Today, the town and its surrounding forests have become a gateway for exploring Victoria’s rugged wilderness, despite suffering significant damage during the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. Marysville State Forest is a haven for outdoor activities. Hikers and bikers can explore the scenic trails that wind through the forest, offering everything from leisurely walks to challenging climbs. The Lady Talbot Drive is a must-see, where the tranquil beauty of Taggerty River and spectacular waterfalls like Phantom Falls, Keppel Falls, and Steavenson Falls can be admired. The latter is one of Victoria’s highest waterfalls, with an impressive drop of 84 meters, and is especially stunning when illuminated at night. For those looking to immerse themselves in the local wildlife, the forest is home to an array of species including lyrebirds, wombats, and wallabies. Birdwatching is a favorite activity, as many native species can be spotted in their natural habitat. The forest also offers great opportunities for fishing, particularly in the Steavenson River, where trout can be found. Key places to visit around Marysville State Forest include the Bruno’s Art & Sculpture Garden, which showcases whimsical sculptures nestled within the greenery, and the nearby Lake Mountain Alpine Resort, popular for skiing and snowboarding in winter. Marysville itself is a small, peaceful town with a population of around 300, making it an ideal base for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. At just under two hours’ drive from Melbourne, Marysville State Forest is a perfect day trip or weekend retreat, offering a refreshing break from city life. Whether you’re exploring its waterfalls, hiking through its trails, or simply enjoying the tranquillity, the forest is a true gem in Victoria’s outdoor landscape.

Had an amazing day on the Whitsunday Islands + Whitehaven Beach + Hill Inlet Day Tour + Flight with OceanRafting from Airlie Beach. Highly recommend it! The pick-up was on time, and we started the day with a scenic helicopter ride over the Great Barrier Reef. I especially loved when the pilot counted down as we approached the Heart Reef—it was breathtaking! After the flight, we were taken to the water cruise where the fun began with snorkeling. Wet suits, snorkels, fins, and either a noodle foam or life jacket were provided. The crew was so patient, especially with anyone who wasn’t comfortable in the water. We then enjoyed some thrilling rides between spots with pump-up music blasting—it really added to the excitement! After that, we did a short trek to Hill Inlet, offering stunning views of Whitehaven Beach from three platforms. The different shades of blue were incredible. I spent a bit too much time on the platform and didn’t get to take as many photos at Betty’s Beach, but the white sand and clear waters with fish swimming around were unforgettable! We had about an hour and a half to enjoy Whitehaven Beach—not as stunning as Betty’s Beach, but the white sands and beautiful surroundings made it perfect. All in all, such a fun and well-organized tour! #airliebeach #greatbarrierreef #Oceanrafting #Whitsundays #whitehaven #Heartreef #heliride #thrillride #Rubberboat #queensland #australia #beachlife
