Fully recommend as you’ll see how the city looks from could level
It's billed as the fifth tallest building in the world, but I don't think it's even on the list anymore. The view from up there is truly stunning. I went up on October 6th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, just before sunset. I shot a time-lapse video there, which was quite impressive. I originally wanted to eat at the rooftop restaurant, but it was crowded and noisy, so I ultimately gave up. I bought my ticket on Ctrip for 107 RMB. Tickets at the door were priced at 41 AUD. Prices in Australia are really rising fast.

Located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. There is a large free parking lot, it is very popular, the rides are rich and varied, the ticket price is not expensive, the price-performance ratio is good, you can drink for the price of one drink all day. If you pass by, I recommend staying for a day, it's fun
The child bought the ticket specifically for hugging a koala. It was very convenient to book tickets on Ctrip. After entering, he paid another 50 Australian dollars to hug a koala and take photos. The park is not big but there are several good projects. The cost performance is not high, but the child is happy. It is said that only Queensland allows hugging koalas.

We enjoy the Outback live performance together with dinner served. Entertaining and worth it
Heartland, a musical sitcom that reflects the Australian inland residents' main production and living style of animal husbandry, is based on the love story of a pair of lovers and extends the changes in the lives of inland farmers and their joys and sorrows. It is indeed a very authentic Australian atmosphere. At the same time, some equestrian performances are interspersed through the plot to show the style of Australian cowboys to the audience. The visual effects of the scene are also very attentive.
The performance ticket (recently on sale) includes a three-course dinner and drinks. The main course can be steak, chicken steak or vegetarian. The drinks are beer, dry red and dry white. We chose steak. Although it was thick cut and served throughout the venue, we could not choose the degree of doneness, but the taste was really good, not inferior to the restaurant's level. It's just that the dessert is too sweet. I can't digest it, so I can only taste it lightly.
Overall, it's worth the money and there's no need to make this trip.

It is a very nice place to chill around, especially on the weekend. There are also restaurants by the river where you could grab a drink and enjoy your day.
Compared to Melbourne and Sydney, Brisbane is not very well-known internationally, but it is still a vibrant city that makes people linger.

The Story Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge across the Brisbane River. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia and is located between the northern and southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia, carrying vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian traffic.
Brisbane feels like two cities during the day and at night, exuding infinite charm and attracting tourists from all over the world. Its beautiful scenery and pleasant environment make people linger and feel relaxed and happy.

Recently enjoyed a climb to the summit of Page again, the climb was tough, not that I mean to say that, but this particular hike involved climbing up a rocky, steep stone face and it was windy, but having said that there are many other options in the area to suit climbers of all experience levels.
This is a must-visit in the Gold Coast area of Brisbane. My favorite attractions are: Twin Falls, Rainbow Falls, Qinquan Falls, Natural Bridge. These places are very beautiful during the day, but they are a million times more beautiful at night. There are many fireflies on the forest road and in the cave... Just think, in New Zealand, you have to spend 50 New Zealand dollars to see the fireflies in the cave, but here it is free!!! An absolutely amazing place!!!

The building is impressive and historical. The mayor is basically not in the office so it is not like some legends that the mayor can be seen in the office but the front desk is always there. There is a museum upstairs with permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions, there are often various activities in front of the building, there is a restaurant downstairs and a city canteen that only opens when there is a concert. At least I feel that it is a canteen.
There are often activities at the door. There is a museum upstairs. There is a cafe downstairs and a city cafeteria. It is only open once or twice a week and only opens when there is a free concert. Recently, I found that there are more cultural relics in the side hall downstairs. It’s funny to read the introduction.

a nice place to have a look around at night - I picked up a couple things - cheap!
It wasn't too crowded, so I had fun looking around!
Also, when I went there around 9pm, there was a sale before closing time and the food in the food court was cheaper✨✨
This is a Thai restaurant, and I got a bento box with about 6 different kinds of food for AUD8♪
I was very satisfied!!

Before coming to Cairns, I had always wanted to take advantage of the tropical 🏝️ characteristics here and rent a cost-effective hotel or B&B with a swimming pool. In fact, after I came here, I found that there was a free public large swimming pool here. It is really a treasure place!
This is in the center of Cairns, adjacent to the seaside. Not far away is the helicopter 🚁 helipad, behind is the Cairns Night Market, and there is a supermarket across the road. It is not far from the cruise terminal ⛵️. It is within walking distance of the Cairns Art Gallery 🎨 and the Aquarium 🐟. Generally, you can arrange to visit the above two indoor venues during the day and go to this lagoon swimming pool 🏊 in the evening. Although it is free, the water quality is still good. It is equipped with professional lifeguards and clean shower 🚿 changing rooms and toilets. There are also some areas for BBQ 🍖 on the side. Even if you live in a hotel or B&B in the city center that does not include a swimming pool and a yard, you can completely treat it as a back garden and stroll around. At night, go to the night market and have a feast. This life is absolutely wonderful!
Tips: For those who are short on time, I recommend staying in a hotel or B&B in the city center. The package is here! Generally, the trips to SkyRail, Kuranda and Palm Bay are a bit farther, so it is recommended to sign up for a day trip for convenience!
It’s a really lovely walk along the esplanade & the promenade - lots of beautiful views and wildlife.

Mount Coot-tha Lookout is located on Mount Coot-tha in the suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. This lookout is 226 meters above sea level and is the most famous vantage point for viewing the city and surrounding areas. Mount Coot-tha can be seen from most parts of Brisbane city.
The lookout is very close to the Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. You can take a bus from downtown Brisbane to the botanical gardens, and then take a shuttle bus from the botanical gardens to the lookout. You can overlook the entire city and have a cup of coffee there.
