Australia is truly a country for nature lovers and for many of us, we are itching to get out to explore The Great Outdoors. The good news is as restrictions start to lift, national parks are going to be some of the first areas we can leave our house to roam. We are lucky to live in a country whose sheer size lends itself to a wide variety of landscapes; from mountain ranges and deserts, to tropical rain forests, and beaches. The lush hinterlands, sea cliffs, dense rain forests, and canyons are all there waiting to be explored - now more than ever.

Q1 is very easy to find. The Building Observation Deck is a commercial and residential building that stands on the south side of Surfers Paradise? The center is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason why it is called Q1 is the meaning of Queensland No.1, and its appearance is inspired by the torch of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Entering the elevator of the Q1 building, 77-story direct access, there is a screen on the top of the elevator, which can show the rapid rise of the outside of the elevator. The 77th floor only takes 43 seconds, and the blue landscape of the Haitian line is extremely shocking. With the burdock, the open-air stairs on the roof can be climbed. Of course, you do not want to climb and climb, you must have a professional coach to carry it, and you have to be equipped to go up. On that day, this is a charged item.

Mushroom Jun's Australia Travel Australia, Queensland Surfers Paradise gathers travelers and surfers from all over the world. Beachwear and bikinis are the most convenient to buy. To the clothing. Sign up for surfing lessons, at 7 in the morning, we dragged the big and heavy surfboards to the beach, facing the rising sun, and the tight-fitting surf suits were also shredded with a layer of sweat. Coach with the basic movement training we surfed on the beach: the first step is on the surfboard, the feet are exposed on the outside of the board; when the waves are approaching from a distance, they must be propped up first. With both hands, the legs quickly slammed onto the surfboard, and then the other leg quickly reached the center of the surfboard, while the body leaned forward, the eyes fixed firmly in front, and the rear force legs led the auxiliary legs to stand up quickly and rushed to the shore. The moment to find a balance. In short, be sure to be fast! Because the time of the waves is only one or two seconds, if you do not seize the opportunity to stand up, you will experience the unforgettable experience of "embracing the sea."

More than three in the morning, I dont really want to continue to sleep on the money. The car of the 3:40 hot air balloon company appeared in the hall on time, and the car was groggy. I dont know how long it took. When I woke up, the sky was already large, and the surrounding area was beautiful. The hot air balloon is slowly rising, and the scenery is getting better. It is no wonder that many people think of Australian immigrants. It turns out that the scenery in Australia is beautiful and the air is fresh. However, there are some regrets, thinking that it will be like a hot air balloon in Turkey. Looking at the whole countryside, there are only three hot air balloons, and it is very far apart. Had to take a hot air balloon ride on the Gold Coast, the scenery is no longer the sky and on the ground. There will be a discount on hot air balloons in the country through travel agents, which will be expensive on the Gold Coast.

New Year's First Brigade, Australia, Gold Coast, the first night to stay is the Gold Coast Marriott Resort, when booking, he took a fancy location, close to Surfers Beach, beautiful scenery, adjacent to the Gold Coast commercial center, but after staying Found that compared to the location of the Gold Coast hotel is not particularly recommended, a bit far from the sea, a bit far from the business district, although walking is also ten minutes, but for vacation, 10 minutes is also a good sleep. Of course, on the other hand, Marriotts location is relative to travel, and the surrounding area is a residential area by the sea. It is a luxury home for the local tyrants. It is also very good to be friends with local tyrants. Moreover, the scenery is beautiful, especially the night scene, the beauty is not like words, people are intoxicated, so, especially like the night, sitting on the balcony of the sofa, blowing the sea breeze, counting the stars, the quiet feeling of beauty is picturesque.
