The Great Barrier Reef, Australia

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the undisputed best vacation spots for anyone who wants the opportunity to glimpse one of the most incredible marvels of nature. The reef spans across 2,300 kilometers and is so huge that it can actually be spotted from outer space! Tourists will be able to enjoy the amazing sights of unique marine animals and plants, interacting with each other in perfect harmony. You can dive or snorkel in the area to really get up close and personal with the local flora and fauna. #themeparks#nationalpark#beaches

French Connection

Not far from Christchurch (NZ South Island’s largest city) lies Banks Peninsula, an atmospheric piece of land that juts out into the Pacific Ocean and faces the Antarctic continent. The peninsula is of volcanic origin and is about 1,150 square kilometers in area. Due to its proximity to Christchurch, it is today a well-known daytrip destination for travelers – both locals and foreigners alike. The peninsula is home to a French-inspired colonial town called Akaroa which sits at the heart of the tourist scene in the area. Our first stop was at Little River, a town approximately in between Christchurch and Akaroa. It was a fairly small tourist town, with the usual array of cafes and art galleries. There’s also an old railway station which is unused. We made a short stop there just to look around, but frankly there wasn’t much to see. #summervacation

Iron Pot Cruises

A long time ago to know this place, has no chance. This time can finally go, in advance to find online for a long time. Service is also very good, all aspects of coordination are very good. The local service providers are also very much praise, much better than the domestic! The captain is very good and will care that everyone is not cold. Feel very intimate. #summervacation

Australia Zoo

To be at the late Steve Irwin Australia Zoo was one of my dream list. Here are the list that I like about the zoo: 1. There are open parking area and its FREE. 2. Look for train shuttle at each dedicated station and its FREE & also friendly to those who carried strollers. 3. You can get cheap souvenir from as low as 50cents at the souvenir shop. 4. There are FREE flow drinking water at dedicated check point. All you have to do is carrying bottles and fill/refill here. 5. If you want to save money, you can carry a picnic bag/food specially when you come with a family. This is Allowed. There is food court too at the Crocoseum area should you want to enjoy the food here. 6. There are also dry and water park for kids. Dont forget to bring your changing clothes. Also FREE. 7. Animals that you can pat and take photo for FREE: koala, kangaroos, birds, sheep, wild boar, goat etc. 8. You may bring/apply mosquito repellant specially for kids as there are areas with mosquitos. 9. The zookepers may walk with some animals with them. Feel free to ask questions about the animal. 10. If you wish to feed the kangaroo, you may buy its food at the dedicated counter before you proceed to the kangaroo area. 11. Watch out as there are “small iguana/lizard” that are enjoying their walks here. They can be seen on the walkway etc. Some of them are friendly and most of them are shyyy and will run away if you approach them. 12. Some zoo in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney) may #summervacation

Sydney Tower Eye Ticket

Highly Recommended 360 degrees view of Sydney CBD, inner suburbs and outlying regions stretched to the horizon. Assuring sights of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison, Queen Victoria Building, St Mary’s Cathedral affirm the diversity of Sydney. The shoreline is dotted with activities of shipyards, public park lands, wharves, glistening waters reflect a bustling Harbour. It is a dazzling experience which will remain for a long time. Thanks to Klook facilitating it. #summervacation

Wild life sdyney

The zoo is quite compact but should be good for I H - 1 .5H (without the koala photos). You will be able to see most of Australia's iconic animals including koalas, crocodiles, birds, kangaroos, etc. we went on Christmas Day but the line was pretty long so would recommend to buy tickets in advance A way to see the popular unique Australian wildlife quickly (1-1.5 hours depending on crowd) and conveniently (located in the city). Recommended for those who are trying to squeeze in as much as possible or do not want to venture far from the city. If you have more time to spare to see animals or want to see more animals, Taronga Zoo would be more appropriate. #summervacation

Travels Through Sydney Australia In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip sailed his ship into Sydney Cove and one of the great cities of the world was born. Today Sydney is home to over four million Aussies who love to bathe in the glorious sunshine and surf on the open waters that break upon its wonderful beaches. Sydney Harbour is irresistible. Its famous bridge dominates the view, a magnificent feat of engineering. But for sheer elegance, the Sydney Opera House takes centre stage with its unique appearance and over 2,500 shows annually to keep the opera buffs fulfilled. Try to catch the Sydney Film Festival when all manner of Hollywood stars honour the city with their presence. If you’ve joined in with the Aussie spirit and sank one or two pints of lager, try burning off the calories with a climb up the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The ascent commences at regular intervals and the view from the top is inspirational, though you will need a strong nerve and a good head for heights. Today Sydney is a multicultural city. #beautifulhotel#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Hoyts Have you ever experienced a cinema that is as comfortable as a first class airplane? are not there? Then don't miss the HOYTS theater on the third floor of Chadstone's fashion capital.

There are buttons, you can call the waiter to order food for you, this kind of intimate service, I did not expect it ~ In addition, I must separately praise the value of Chadstone fashion capital and shopping environment, because it is true Very good, fall in love in a second! The architecture of Chadstone's fashion capital is very distinctive, and the huge cable-stayed glass roof gives a different natural beauty from day to night. No matter from which angle the picture is taken, no need to retouch the picture, Zhang Zhang is a big fan.

The entire Chadstone fashion capital is full of gourmet dining areas, covering all the world's specialties, even if you eat here for a day, you are extremely happy! The first thing I went to was the food area on the second floor, which was directly accessible by the escalator next to Tesla. is located on the side of the hand-held elevator is the "net red wall" of Chadstone fashion capital, many well-known bloggers at home and abroad will come here to take a photo. On the wall, there are two layers of special dining information. Western food, Chinese food, Japanese food, and Mexican food are almost all available.
