The competition was very exciting. The price of the tickets was not much different from that sold on the Australian official website. Many of the matches were very exciting. I was very happy to be able to watch this competition, especially the preliminaries of the two men&#39;s and women&#39;s singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha

Best Things to Do

iQOO🐮

The Puffing Billy steam train is really great! Sitting in the retro carriage, listening to the whistle, passing through dense forests and valleys. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.

Its beautiful from the Skydeck. There is an outdoor terrace that we can access, and snack bar that we can get a set of crackers, coffee and sandwich for $15. Took many nice pictures with family. Most Melbourne attractions are visible from the Skydeck.

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there&rsquo;s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.

爱笑的宝哥

With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.
