Opening

Now I'm listening to the sea breeze and sun in the green land near ailley lagoon. There are bands singing on the grass. Seagulls fly from time to time. Birds in the trees chirp. Blue sky, green grass and no fishy sea breeze have been in Australia for nearly 10 days.

At the end of 2013, Air Asia made a big promotion. Nanning Kuala Lumpur Gold Coast, Sydney Kuala Lumpur Nanning had 2400 luggage tax free.

The process of visa processing has been studied in Australia, New Zealand and poor travel

I belong to Guangzhou Lingqu district and apply in the name of personal tourism. Since July 1, 2014, I don't need to translate the certification materials. I have made great efforts in terms of funds, including regular payment, online banking records of Taobao consumption, and screenshots of provident fund. Although my salary is not high, it is also clear in my work certificate and leave letter. It's not very difficult to get a visa from Australia five working days after the submission of all materials. It's easy to get a visa from Australia as long as the materials are fully prepared, true and accurate according to the requirements of the Embassy website. Besides, you can also apply for an electronic visa from Turkey. I'm very happy.

It has been several days since I returned to China. When I flew back from Malaysia to Australia, the sky was blue, but when I arrived in Nanning, although the ground was covered with green mountains and green waters, the sky was covered with fog. Then I got off the plane and took the bus to the city. It was the rush hour when I went to India from home. There were so many people / poor air that I missed the blue sky, clean city appearance, beautiful villas and heart-shaped reef of Australia. Although the flight was only more than 10 hours, it was very far away. Australia is a distant dream.

Whole process consumption

International air ticket: Nanning - Kuala Lumpur - Gold Coast Sydney - Kuala Lumpur - Nanning 2400 with tax + 400 luggage ticket

Australia section: Brisbane - PPP Hamilton - Melbourne Hobart - Sydney three-way plane, Melbourne - tower Island Devonport, a total of 2700 tickets

Full stay: except for Gold Coast and ailley, they all live in YHA for 20 days, with a total consumption of 3600 yuan

Visa: 1000 RMB

Play tickets: Longbai Warner movie world tickets ailley water flying 1 hour, sailing 2 days, 2 nights, book 3500 on renyou.com (official website is www.rruu.com, you can find it yourself)

Book a two-day tour to Arthur's prison on Dayang road for two days 118 + 5 tips = 123 (not recommended)

5500 in total

Other transportation: Gold Coast go Card $100, PPP bus $18, Arley Hamilton $48, Melbourne wharf $15, Devonport Hobart $59, Hobart airport $14, Sydney Airport $16.4

1400 in total

Eat: because I can't stand bread, I usually cook it in YHA, and occasionally taste chips and fish outside. This part of the consumption is not high, about 1000 yuan

It costs at least 18000 yuan in 20 days. It's a poor economy type. Except for the fact that you can't eat hamburgers, Shuifei and sailing / Dayang road should all be played.

Air ticket introduction:

International segment

Air Asia really has nothing to say. Thanks to CCTV and Air Asia, everyone can fly. I won 2400 a year in advance. At last, I asked my friend to buy two pieces of 20kg luggage ticket for 400. During the promotion in October this year, there were about 2700 air tickets at the same time. When I met a mm in Melbourne who said her air ticket was 8000, I felt very happy. Although I was flying in two parts, I had to stay in Kuala Lumpur, In fact, I think it's easy to take a break in two sections. In addition, when Jifei returned home, my luggage exceeded 0.8kg, but the service lady didn't say anything.

Domestic section

The reason is very simple. Visa credit card has a Chinese interface. It costs 8.5 for each order. The earlier you order it, the cheaper it will be; I was also very satisfied after I took Jetstar. Check in is very simple. I just need to input the reservation number and check the list. Anyway, I can understand English, so I can print out the ticket. Basically, Jetstar is full, three-way no cancellation, on-time flight, weight limit luggage 10kg, about Jetstar's weight limit: I provide a little tips: when we fly in Brisbane, we ask everyone to weigh their luggage, and if they don't exceed, we will label them, but if we don't, we can actually take things out first, label them and then put them in. But it's strange that there's no other place to weigh. I feel that Jetstar is not strict. Recommended Jetstar

Airport strategy - kila2, Kuala Lumpur

120 hour transit visa

As for obtaining a 120 hour transit visa in Kuala Lumpur with a cross-border air ticket, I would like to make it more detailed. The so-called 120 hour transit visa is not calculated from the time when you get it to the end of the day, but from the beginning of the day, whenever you get the transit visa, it is counted as one day. In other words, if you enter the country at 23.59 on the same day, it is also counted as one day, Because some students asked about the 120 hour arrangement, we must pay attention to that the Malaysia transit visa is not the actual 120 hours.

120 hour visa issuing office: it's very simple. At counter A4 in the hall, it's pasted with the words "120". It's easy to find and provide printed or electronic copies. I quickly ran to a small room with iron fence full of police to ask. There is a centralized processing room for people with visa problems. The police are very good. They can't understand my English. They read my print and told me A4. I asked a Taiwanese MM who was sitting there curiously. She said that she had a visa problem, so she was asked to come in and run away

Airport bus: from the arrival hall, we need to take the elevator to the next floor. First we buy tickets at the counter, then we get on the bus. We go to the central station at 10rm.

International departure: after arriving at the airport by bus, take the elevator to the International Departure Hall on the third floor. The first step is to check the air ticket or e-ticket. The second step is to seal the departure. The third step is to check the luggage. After the duty-free shop is ready to enter the gate, the fourth step is to check. This step is not allowed to bring water in. You can take an empty bottle and fill it with direct drinking water. There are no shops in Kuala Lumpur - Golden Coast gate, but there are many duty-free shops in front of Kuala Lumpur - Nanning gate. I bought Estee Lauder's flight make-up, which is 10% off 172rm, equivalent to 318 yuan. It is said that it is a little more expensive than the day before and the second cheapest.

Australian airport strategy - Gold Coast

The airport is not big. When I enter the customs, the $5 bottle of moisturizer sold by the duty-free shop doubles on Taobao. The inspection is very simple. If there is food in the passageway, the dog will check it after putting down his luggage. I brought five bags of fast food noodles into the country, and there is no problem. If you don't have much luggage, take it. The bread is terrible. Especially remember to bring pickled vegetables and dried radish. All kinds of condiments without meat.

Go cards are easy to find at the counter of the airport

Transportation from the airport to the urban area: take No.777 outside the airport (just outside the arrival hall, not far) to the terminal, and then take all kinds of electric rail cars to the residence in the city, 5 dollars. Remember to get on and off the go card and brush it twice.

Brisbane Airport:

We take the airport special line from Rome Street Station in the city, and send to the airport at platform 6 / 7. When we arrive, pay attention to the signs in the exclusive Hall of each airline.

PPP: there are 18 buses to Ailey. After buying the ticket at the airport counter, the driver takes the bus outside. He is very happy and keeps talking all the way

Hamilton: it's not big. Ailley has corresponding free for Hamilton flights. Remember not to miss the time

Hobart Airport:

Urban transportation

The bus tickets ordered in YHA get on at the specified station, drive on time, arrive at the airport on time, and the airport is not big

Melbourne - introduction of Devonport ferry soul

Originally, we wanted to book a plane to Tajima Island, but when we saw the ferry recommended by anzt, we bought tickets online. Four people cabin, inner cabin, 106 knife, one person, sailing at night, there is no cabin like.

http://www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/booking-timed-out/#&&/wEXAQUEc3RlcAUDMS8wbeZPLxhbm7CkWR9t661DXiOpiW8=

Transportation mode from downtown to wharf:

1: The No. 109 tram is available. We saw that the No. 109 tram had a stop on the South Cross Road from YHA, but the bus of merben had to get a card and didn't refund the deposit, so we took a taxi instead.

2: Take a taxi, show the driver the pre order, and immediately understand that the front desk staff of YHA is really accurate when it comes to the dock for $15, ha ha.

On the transportation cost of soul ferry

If you don't care too much about the economy, it's also a happy experience, because the direct flight ticket to Tajima hobat is about $50, and the total cost of the flight is about $100;

The cost of ferry ticket is $106, that of Mochi to wharf is $15, and that of Devonport to hobat59. The total cost of ferry is $180. After deducting $30 for a night's accommodation, it will cost $150.

Ferry experience

My companion and I took a taxi to the dock. It was 45 minutes before the departure time. The dock was empty. I said it was early. My companion said that he saw on the Internet that the ferry company was in a bad business, so there were few people. People in work clothes reminded us to go straight ahead. Then a handsome brother in the captain's uniform had a very good service attitude. He led us to the counter to change tickets, and then took us to the luggage check gate to check our luggage, Fruit can be taken on board, but not off board. We are happy that the staff serve us like VIP. As soon as we step into the cabin, ouch, the two-story elevator goes to the 8th floor of the living room department. All the way, there are video game room, coffee room, cafeteria, souvenir shop and TV area. They are tall and lively. It turns out that the passengers have been on the ship long ago. We are the last ones to arrive. No wonder the handsome guy is eager to lead the way. The room is double bed, with bathroom and gargle room, small and clean. I ran to the deck to see the city of Melbourne, and the children chatted with their families and grandmothers on the shore to say goodbye. As the boat slowly left the harbor, the white gulls flew up and down the corridor to send off, and the setting sun in the distance was shining with gold. Back on the boat, I found that there was a small cinema with about 40 seats inside, and the sound effect was good. This kind of relaxed space experience is different from the plane. It's very comfortable after a night's sleep, and it's easy to get to Devonport.

Because it's night sailing, so when choosing a room, it's the same with or without windows.

Ticket exchange window

Australian airport strategy - Sydney airport tax rebate strategy

Sydney Airport really has nothing to say. It's mainly for tax refund. With my failure experience, I feel that the staff at the customs clearance and GST counter of Sydney airport are very reluctant to get the 10% tax from the masses of tourists and shoppers. The customs clearance team is slow, the inspection is slow, and GST is even slower.

Refund time, refund students at least 4 hours in advance to the airport

My flight was 11.55 minutes. At that time, some students in the group reminded me to arrive at the airport four hours in advance, but they didn't care much. Later, they arrived at the airport at 9.15 minutes. Emma, there were a lot of people passing through the customs. I entered the airport at 11:00 and boarded at 11.15. So, tax refund students, at least 4 hours in advance to the airport

The specific steps of tax refund at the airport are as follows:

1: First of all, take the goods and invoices to the next floor of the elevator next to the f work island. There is a small house where you can stamp them. It's very fast. Moreover, the stamp given by the staff is the goods that can be consigned.

2: It depends on my luck to check my luggage. I've lost a lot of time in AirAsia

3: Queuing to enter the customs is very time-consuming. The queue is long and the movement is slow. When you take the form at the gate, you can queue up and fill in the form at the same time.

4: After entering the customs, find the GST counter on the left, line up to fill in the form (also a pile of data) and handle it.

If you have a companion, you'd better separate them. One person will directly line up to enter the customs and fill in the form in the GST queue. The other person will go down to the next floor to stamp and check the luggage. After entering the customs, they will immediately hand over the goods and the stamped documents to the people in the queue. In this way, the success rate of tax refund will be relatively high. The staff at the GST counter are slow. They feel that they are intentional and can save the country a point.

Australian accommodation strategy:

The price of Australia, for poor travelers, YHA is the first choice in the range of domestic information. After spending 45 yuan on Taobao to buy hi card, you can use visa credit card to book rooms on YHA website in Australia. You can select YHA, room type, number, date, and provide credit card number in the interface. After successful reservation, YHA will reply to an email with reservation number. It can also be cancelled, but my cancellation has not been refunded so far. I'm ready to ask by email（ Returned, not noticed)

We didn't live in YHA except for the first stop of golden coast. Other cities, such as Busch, Elly, Mexico, Tashima and Sydney, all stayed in YHA except Elly. The characteristics of YHA are: it's located in the golden section of the city with convenient transportation, clean and hygienic, with public kitchen and free food. You have to swipe your card when you go in and out, and it's safe. There's a Chinese interface for your luggage, It's very interesting to exchange ideas among donkey friends from all over the world.

YHA beds are basically at the price of 27-36, and it's the same price for live check-in. My friend forgot to bring her card. Fortunately, when she took photos, she had to input her card number when booking. In addition, I had a card, so she couldn't show her card at the scene, showed her camera to the front desk, and stayed at the member's price; It is estimated that if you have made a reservation in advance, you can still enjoy the membership price as long as one of your peers has a card. But don't forget to bring the card. YHA can help you book bus tickets to the airport. There are many kinds of tourist routes, which are quite mature and perfect.

First stop in Australia: Islander Resort Hotel

I found this hotel by accident. It has been introduced all over the world. There are a lot of accommodation in gold coast. It's OK to look for it when you arrive. This hotel has more than 30 beds on the spot; The location is very good. It's very easy to find it on the main street. Take the rail to the bottom of Ville ved street. Go back two traffic lights and you will see an ugly stone man standing on the street. Just turn in. At the counter was a middle-aged lady who spoke slowly. Although our English was not very good, she patiently asked us to check our luggage first, go outside to play and come back at 1 o'clock.

Into the dormitory after the yard with a swimming pool, a billiard table, a building has 10 floors? The other is our multi-storey hotel. It is a mixed hotel with backpacker price and family suite. It's clean and sanitary.

To pay a deposit at the front desk, rent a lock, rent a set of tableware for eating and drinking. At the beginning, we didn't know. It was really embarrassing to use someone else's bowl to make noodles. It is estimated that there is a parking lot. I met three Sichuan tourists, an exchange student and his mother and aunt, who drove to the gold coast to play. They signed up at the front desk to see firefly.

This multi room dormitory is similar to a two bedroom suite in China. It has a kitchen, a microwave oven, a kettle and a refrigerator, but it can't cook without cooking utensils and seasonings. Everything else is very good. As the first stop, we didn't have the idea to cook. We just finished the instant noodles and went to the supermarket to buy roast chicken bread to put in the refrigerator.

The second stop in Australia: YHA, Brisbane

brisbane city yha

Address:392 Upper Roma Street, Brisbane , QLD, 4000

Check in Recommendation: 90 points, recommended

Satisfaction: very satisfied

Brisbane is a surprise YHA. The dormitory is clean and clean. Needless to say, I'm most satisfied with the spacious open kitchen on the top floor, neat lockers and freezers. There are chopsticks on the top floor. The open-air restaurant on the top floor has a good view of the city. There is also a small swimming pool. Free food often has surprises, ha ha. In and out of the card, across the road is the Coles supermarket and other stores, it is very convenient. The kitchen is really a good place for backpackers to communicate. It's really fun to watch the beautiful men and women with blonde hair and blue eyes cook a pile of mush after a long time, or just put the rice in the freezer, they are regarded as free food. They want to get back the kind of English they can't think of.

How to get there: we take the airtrain from the gold coast and get off at the station of Rama street. After going out, we walk about 800 meters to the right. Generally, the road is straight, but there is a small turning in Rome street, which may be built along the terrain. You can't see YHA on the slope at the station. After this small turning, you can see a row of youth hostels on the slope, The feeling is that YHA on the top of the slope is the best. On the day of our stay, there were two cars of middle school students engaged in activities. In other stores, we saw someone squatting outside at 10 p.m. to smoke. Students who are free can go to the slope to compare and choose to stay.

Disadvantages: the only disadvantage is that the bus is too expensive. When we checked in, a volunteer from Taiwan told us that there was no bus to the center of the city, just 15 minutes' walk. Later, my companion found out that there was a bus. It is estimated that GG in Taiwan is worried about the bus fare for us or just arrived.

There are two routes from YHA to the city center: one is to go down to the park on the slope, then turn to the river, and then enter the municipal square; the other is to walk directly along Rome street to the municipal square.

On the slope, I also stuck a piece of RMB

The third stop in Australia: elry YHA

Airlie Beach, Whitsundays

Address:394 Shute Harbour Road, Airlie Beach, QLD, 4802

airliebeach@yha.com.au

Check in Recommendation: 70 points, not very recommended

Satisfaction: Average

In terms of geographical location, this YHA is quite good. It's on the main street. Five minutes down to the right is the boat to Hamilton. Buses from PPP airport also park nearby. It's two or three minutes past the market on weekends; Facilities are basically clean and sanitary, with a small swimming pool and a public kitchen. But there are some problems in the management. There is no entrance for guard management. Everyone can enter. The public kitchen on the first floor has tables in the yard for everyone to chat and eat. At night, a man who looks uncomfortable asks for cigarettes when he meets people in the yard. Several girls dodge. We don't understand but are a little surprised, Then I heard a couple in Taiwan say that the food in the kitchen was missing, and it was probably the man who ate it; Or the management is a bit chaotic.

Clean is certain, but the price is $30. Compared with Menglong, where selling came back later, this YHA is really not cost-effective. I really doubt how long this YHA will last,

Menglong is very popular. YHA is very clean by comparison. There is no free salt in the kitchen.

YHA is easy to find, opposite subway

Australia's third stop accommodation 2: Menglong

Room Type: Private Twin - Stay & Save Deal

Admission recommendation: 90 points, special recommendation

Satisfaction: high cost performance

This lodging is an introduction I saw on a post about ailley in poor travel by accident http://bbs.qyer.com/thread-597770-1.html I feel that it's very cost-effective. I found that it's true when I checked in at the scene. The reception desk is next to the bar with the same name on the main street. Through a small path, we came to two-story buildings. We chose a double room with 50 yuan, upper and lower bunks, air conditioning and refrigerator, The public bathroom is on the same floor, hot water bath is convenient, and it is also very private, because there are trees beside the hut, and the public kitchen is opposite to Woolworth supermarket, which is selling drinks

By the way, I'd like to remind you that the slippers sold in every store on ailley Street cost $10 a pair, while ailley Woolworth costs $4 or even less.

Menglong also has a small pavilion in the public WiFi area, which is equipped with a power outlet. It is also in the tropical forest. It seems strange that there are no mosquitoes.

The supporting facilities of Menglong by the street are bars and indoor hi bars, which are very popular. There are singers singing at 5 pm. Foreigners can enjoy a cup of coffee and a bottle of beer, but I feel that it's better to take a walk to the seaside.

The central feeling of the whole street is Menglong. Especially when the public station looks up, the first sign on the opposite shop is Menglong. YHA is really like an old singer, too quiet and poorly managed

Like YHA, Menglong has a public kitchen. Because the kitchen is small, free food is thrown away by three Filipinos at 8 and 9 a.m. when they are cleaning. It's sad to see that the milk of baihuahua is poured into the sink and the broccoli is thrown into the dustbin. This is a waste of capital. I pick up milk and a few carrots. I said those Filipino maids, don't waste it. It's better to take them back to their own home. I want to leave a message on this website and ask them to release the ownerless food for everyone to enjoy.

Menglong website: http://www.magnums.com.au/ We can't get the $19 accommodation in this family. I hope you can get it

In addition, if you want to save money, in fact, several people can live in one room, the way is from the supermarket to the public kitchen that path into a few other people on the line, no one rounds.

This is the supermarket, opposite to the Menglong public kitchen

Fourth stop: Melbourne YHA

Melbourne Central

Address:562 Flinders St, Melbourne , VIC, 3000

melbcentral@yha.com.au

Admission recommendation: 88 points, recommended

Satisfaction: good location, 10 minutes walk from South Cross station, where is the location

On the street of Flinders st, there is a free No.35 tram at the gate. When you go out, you can walk 15-10 minutes to Federation Square. It's clean and tidy. You need to swipe your card to get in and out. There is an information desk and a big kitchen on the first floor. There is a TV room next to the kitchen where you can put bags. The aisle on the first floor is designed like a quiet book bar. When we took a taxi from the airport, we saw a white eagle carving. We turned into Flinders st, which is YHA. We didn't know the way. We ran to the square and then turned back to find it.

The stinky tofu lived in a 6 bedroom apartment. She painted the nail polish in the room. The paint was so smelly that she wanted to find her stinky tofu.

Our trip to Dayang road was reserved in YHA, 259 a day on Dayang road and 200 a day on keee island. But we had to go back and forth with one group a day, so we felt too tired; Ride's Ocean Road two-day tour can't keep up.

YHA front desk has many tourist routes to choose from.

It costs 15 yuan to take a taxi from here to the port by ferry. The 109 tram is nearby. We are too lazy to look for it.

Fifth stop: hobrat YHA

Montgomery's Private Hotel & YHA

Hobart - Montgomerys

Address:9 Argyle Street, Hobart , TAS, 7000

montys@yha.com.au

Check in Recommendation: 85 points, recommended

Satisfaction: good location. Take the bus from Devonport to stop in front of the information consulting center and walk for 5-10 minutes. Remember that YHA and the museum are on the same vertical street. The multi room is on the top floor, clean and tidy. The luggage room is free of charge. You can book the bus to the airport with your card for $17. The kitchen is also on the first floor. It's a little small. You should go when there are few people. Go out and walk right to the hospital. There's a shopping mall on the opposite side. The next floor is Woolworth supermarket, which is quite convenient.

This YHA is the funniest one. The three front desk are all old people with dazzled eyes, slow hands and good attitude.

We got out of the car and looked for YHA. Google failed in Tashima island. Maybe it was close to the South Pole. Then we went around for a long time to find YHA in Montgomery, which is not far from the station.

On the day we went to the prison with the regiment, the front desk uncle jokingly signaled that his companions were wearing too much. We wore down jackets and took out his mobile phone solemnly to warn us that it was 20 degrees. In fact, on that day, we really had to avoid the wind, rain and cold. When he saw us the next day, he jokingly said it was not cold.

Sixth stop accommodation: Sydney rock, central railway station YHA

The most expensive YHA on this trip is not in the rock area. It costs more than 40 yuan, and it can't afford a bed for two consecutive days. However, in developed countries, the rock YHA is in the rock area. On the top floor, you can see the Sydney Opera House, the circular pier station, and walk for 10 minutes (knowing how to enter from the alley). On the first floor, there is the geological museum, and on the second floor, there is the information desk and public kitchen, Accommodation above the third floor. There is no CYTS around, so more than 40 beds are still popular. One day, when you meet a free noodle, don't laugh. Chinese aunts line up to get free food. Foreigners are also very impolite when they see free food. I even scraped the whole belt and robbed it

The sixth station accommodation 2: Central Railway Station YHA

Geographically speaking, the airport express first goes to the central railway, and then to the rock area. Originally, we planned to stay in each store for two days. Due to the cancellation of the flight by Air Asia, the accommodation of the central railway has been changed to one day. Our accommodation is in the old train compartment. It's novel and the air is a little stuffy.

If you live in YHA in the rock area for more time and more money, you need time to feel the artistic atmosphere in the rock area. It's not easy to get a thorough understanding of the artistic atmosphere. Our shopping in Sydney takes up quite a lot of time. When I was waiting for my partner on a stool in the rock area, someone asked me to take a picture to take my things away. Looking back, it turned out to be a mural, The wall of the original passage can also be designed with originality.

Time is short, budget economy, live on the railway, shopping is also convenient, the door is the pink chain life supermarket, all kinds of cosmetics, milk powder, health care products can buy. Nearby is Chinatown. Minibus tickets to the airport can be reserved at the front desk

Australia lodging membership card

The strategy of accommodation has been basically completed. There are at least 20 beds in Australia. The common price of YHA is 30, and the accommodation is still relatively large. YHA's accommodation definitely recommends that you get a membership card in China before departure. In China, it's 50 yuan. In Australia, it's 50 Australia now, and five times is 250. If you save money, don't do it in Australia. Otherwise foreigners will laugh at us.

Again, I bought the hosting international card (HI card for short) on a certain treasure. This is popular in YHA, so I just search on a certain treasure. I'm worried that the owner's handwriting is not good. In front of what I write, the owner has a model. Hee hee.

You can't think that things in Australia are expensive. People's monthly salary is 3000. Unfortunately, there is a multiple gap. Now in China, 20.30 yuan beds are not likely to have air-conditioned hot water, and 12 yuan / kg cherries are not available in China. I have carefully investigated the prices of the two supermarkets. Compared with their 3000 income, the prices are relatively low. I won't say much about the rest.

I'll make do with the picture. Please turn your head

Route arrangement:

In November 2013, Air Asia made a big promotion. In Australia on the other side of the southern hemisphere, I found that the ticket price was so low that I had no idea about the Australian mainland. I only chose Australia because of the temples in India, Myanmar and Cambodia. I saw that I was tired of aesthetics. On the first day Angkor was in the Queen's palace, I didn't want to see those exquisite sculptures, although I found that when I summed up later, I'm a little sorry - in my mind, I'm not interested in the similar scenic spots in Southeast Asia for the time being, while Australia - in the red mainland under the southeast of China's territory, I've always been confused about why the blonde Australian team wants to compete with China in football for Asian tickets. The cheap air tickets instantly attracted me.

It's not too cold or too hot. The only regret is that I didn't see the lavender in Tadao. Women are always in a romantic mood, although I didn't buy the $65 bear.

The arrangement of the city is definitely not to go in and out at the same time. Choosing the southeast as the focus of our trip is nothing more than the Great Barrier Reef and Dayang road. The Sydney Opera House has to go and have a look, and finally decide on the route from the golden coast to Brisbane to Ellery to Melbourne to tower island to Sydney. Tower island is the point that we have been thinking about for a long time. As a result, we like it best. This is the way to travel, There are always unexpected surprises.

In and out of the city in three days to order tickets, 2400 RMB to win the ticket to Australia, I immersed in the incredible wonderful week, like winning the lottery mood, how can so cheap!!!

In addition to poor travel, there is also an Australia New link website, which has complete information about all parts of Australia, especially recommended

http://www.aoxintong.com/

There are many good posts for poor travel. After I went abroad, I heard that some people talked about our mainland compatriots like this. For the first time, I was very proud of us as mainland compatriots. The comments are like this. It's really strange that the Chinese in the mainland deliberately explain every scenic spot, where to eat, where to drink, where to go to the toilet, and where to evade tickets, Because we have Lei Feng on the mainland. Our predecessors plan to plant trees, and our posterity will blossom and eat fruits. There will be an upgraded version after practicing it, won't there?

Why visit the Great Barrier Reef in Arley

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is famous all over the world. On the choice of seeing the Great Barrier Reef, I am basically wandering between hownes and Elly. I don't want to go to a high price area frequented by tourist groups, and I want to enjoy the natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef at the most affordable price. This post makes me choose Elly.

Transportation: ailley is a small town on land. There are n ways to get there. What I know is: 1. You can fly to PPP airport and take a bus for an hour; 2. It's very convenient to fly to Hamilton Island and take a ferry for an hour; PPP / Hamilton Island has a Jetstar, and the low-cost air fare is not high; 3. It's said that the Gray Dog bus from Brisbane to Nusa used to cost 20 yuan (I'm not sure if I haven't experienced it before).

Accommodation: from $19 to a few hundred, backpackers, cottages on the mountain, fengjianyouren, YHA are all here, students will understand. It's a good place for poor donkeys.

Scenic spots: Yes, ailley has heart-shaped reef, one of the beautiful points of the Great Barrier Reef. When I saw it on the GSL sightseeing plane, I was not excited or shocked. It was fake. My companion used Liugong pink to describe heart-shaped reef. The words I searched in my heart were fairyland, dream and stunning. I've been to the Philippines to see the sea of Southeast Asia. I was shocked when I saw it.

In terms of Tourism: since YHA is stationed here, the diversity of tourism is needless to say. There are sailing, plane sightseeing, heart-shaped reef, speedboat tour, snorkeling day tour, and there are many shops on the main street to choose from. It's still an old saying that every cent is worth every cent, and the corresponding price corresponds to the corresponding service facilities, play routes, food and housing level. It is also rich and thrifty by people, to see the money order.

Newspaper group: it's the question of whether the walk in. Well, my English is not very good and my time is limited. Under this premise, I choose their tourism products on any tour and go to the scene to compare them. The price on the scene is 5-10 yuan cheaper than that of booking in China. But what I think about is that my schedule is relatively tight, and the communication in English is relatively difficult (in fact, I think too much, ailley has Chinese Service), so I'll arrange it in advance, and then I'll have a direct connection. We can't have a leisurely vacation for three months, so we should have peace of mind in advance. This is my personal situation. We didn't choose products in Aole. Com because we compared the quotations on both sides. Renyou is a little cheaper. If it's not good, you can complain or make bad comments on Taobao. The result is still quite satisfactory. I declare here that I am only talking about the situation of my newspaper group based on the experience of a tourist. There is no advertisement for whom. We can compare the prices by ourselves.

Elly: my food is very simple. I go to Woolworth to buy food materials for cooking. Hamburgers, French fries, cakes and bread can only be used as snacks. If I don't have enough, I just want rice and fried vegetables.

In another post, elder Tang's attitude towards the Great Barrier Reef is quite disapproval. In fact, for the students who go to Australia for the first time, the Great Barrier Reef is the only choice. Elder Tang goes much more.

The second of the top three in Australia: Great Ocean Road

One of the most popular tourist attractions Recommended by the government must have his reasons. The coastline scenery of Dayang road is convenient for transportation, accommodation and play. In my opinion, one of the beauty of Dayang road is that it is more primitive. Compared with cities like the gold coast, the coastline has less cement buildings and forests; The other is the convenience of food, housing and transportation. The small towns along the coast are quiet, convenient and have accommodation. The self driving routes are well developed, and Western Australia is also beautiful, but they are not popular. 3： Originated from Melbourne, an old and lovely city.

No recommendation is given to posts, because many people write and do not drive by themselves. The city newspaper group is convenient. The first recommendation is the RIDE travel agency recommended by LP. His line is very casual and the price is fair and awesome. Unfortunately, we are not in the right time. He wrote mail and asked if there was any group. It was very calm to reply. We sent the group two times a week without considering it. So donkeys try their best to match ride's departure time. Of course, the time is not right, and there are still many choices. The one-day tour on Dayang road is OK. You can see the beautiful scenery in a sunny day.

Contact information of ride: ridetours@bigpond.com , the website does not say much, look for Du Niang.

Read my email and other people's reply, very fun, please don't laugh

Ride Tours- Discover the Alternative

Second, I recommend to you for your reference. My group in YHA newspaper is a two-day group with $259 in English

http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_ Review-g255100-d1725058-Reviews-Wildlife_ Tours_ Australia-Melbourne_ Victoria.html this e-mail is supposed to be the feedback after the comments

The first day, sunny day, to a small town after morning tea, noon to the Ocean Road, beautiful stay. Then go to the rainforest and see the wild koalas on the road. In the evening, stay in Tuoji and have a barbecue. You can live in a dormitory or add money to choose a better one. This is the reverse of ride. You don't see the sunset of Dayang road.

The next day, I watched the coastline swaying and swaying. At noon, I took a ferry across the sea in kunhilif Town, entered Philips Island, ran to a cottage zoo to see animals, swayed and swayed along the coast, and finally watched enterprise E homing. The next day, it rained all day, and the scenery was poor when it rained, but after the rain, there would be a rainbow, We are waiting for enterprise E to sit by the sea, when the wind is so cold that there is no place to hide. The double rainbow on the sea and the burning clouds behind the viewing platform are comforting. It's worth shivering.

This group has no tips. Volunteer. Compared with the rule that Chinese group must give tips, I feel good about it. I also send a note to us to fill in the opinion score. When it comes to this, there are two more wordy sentences, that is, Chinese people really have a strong sense of human feelings. I basically scored 9 points. Another Chinese family who came from Malaysia also gave more than 8 points. After all, the tour guide is also a driver. The tour guide explains, cooks, picks up early and delivers late. No shopping. Tired!!! No credit, there's hard work, but the hateful capitalism, blonde uncles and girls, give a score of 4, and write a series of opinions, I Kao, 259 this price, give you a big meal of meat, including transportation, all the scenic spots have arrived, all the way is laughter, you still think you are the emperor and princess, to carry ah, change the position, it's not good, I will also give 6 points, at least pass it!!! Capitalism is really a machine brain, logical thinking, impersonal and inhumane. It's so cruel to laugh like that all the way and only give 4 points. In other words, I discussed with my colleagues that the tour guides would not leave feedback that is beneficial to them or make it by themselves. I believe they absolutely do not have this nerve. They have credit consciousness and self-discipline

Third, I'm a little hesitant to recommend it. I saw a car group made by Chinese compatriots on the Internet. I haven't experienced it personally. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, and the price is not expensive. At that time, when I contacted, the corresponding date was full. If the departure cost was very high, I gave up. The Chinese group in Tadao is really disappointing. I can't generalize. I suggest you ask if it is a regular and qualified operation.

Three big stones in Australia: Uluru

When arranging the route, he rejected big stone Uluru for the following reasons: 1. It costs a lot. When friends who went there in July and August came back and said that the cost was at least about 5000, they felt that it was a big expense again, and they rejected him preconceived; 2: Is it worth it for a big stone? Because I have been to Xinjiang, the feeling of watching the Gobi at sunset seems similar; 3: During the period of time available, the local YHA is in the process of decoration, and there are not many beds available, so the economy is even more 10%; Therefore, I didn't catch a cold at the beginning. Considering the economy and the difficulty of traveling, I finally gave up the big stone.

In fact, I regret it. I really regret it. How can I feel the scenery with pictures? Just like the imperial fan of the Forbidden City, the feeling of standing at the Meridian Gate is very different from the feeling of seeing pictures; When I was on the CMB to Sydney Airport, I heard Japanese mm jump out of Uluru

The word "Uluru" tells the driver to go to the airport. It's a shock. The English of little Japan is broken like this. It's not difficult to go to Uluru, because YHA is there. I choose to arrange the city has the sea, should choose a different scenic spot!

It seems that the only way to appreciate Uluru and Western Australia is to spend the air ticket money again. Uluru itself represents the color of the Australian continent you can see on the map.

Tasmania - Australia's paradise world

There are not many detailed posts in Tadao. The first one is elder Tang's post

http://bbs.qyer.com/thread-856836-1.html

Looking at the picture and talking about Tadao, I like it at first sight. It's like having been to Xinjiang. It's really the same feeling.

Tower Island, an island outside the main continent of Australia, is suitable for two days a day, half a month a month, self driving, group tour and daze.,

It's not enough to spend only four days in Tajima, all in Hobart, the capital.

For the choice of transportation, please see the explanation on the 10th floor.

The tour guide said: the urban construction here is still the same after decades. Envy, jealousy and red eye

Sydney

Common TV quiz: which city is the capital of Australia?

Before studying the route, it was still quick to respond - Sydney. Compared with Canberra, the Sydney Opera House was very young, and the synthetic pictures of the head portraits of Hong Kong stars were deeply rooted, so there was nothing to say. It was the city to leave the country. As a result, he was not welcomed by the city. It was cloudy when he saw the opera house. No projection lights. In addition to the convenience of shopping, the natural landscape and air quality of big cities are not comparable to those of small and medium-sized cities, but their charm is still steel forest, rock area, Queen shopping center and fish market. What they see is economic prosperity and popularity.

Gold Coast and Brisbane

It's very easy to choose the gold coast as the entry city. The air ticket is cheap, you can see the South Pacific Ocean, you can take a vacation City, you can be beautiful, you can take a train to Brisbane in an hour and a half, and you can fly to ailley. And Warner Brothers movie paradise, I love it.

Brisbane is also very simple. It's not only convenient to go to Elly, but also to hold the lovely koala. In fact, in Queensland, you can hold both Elly and Elly. I went to Longbai two days before the G20 summit. It's a pity that I didn't meet da da and Yuanyuan. I'm proud to think that most of them went to Longbai. Why don't you choose this city?!

The bus go card between the two cities is still nearly $40. Please transfer it to the owner.

For people like me who come from the third tier cities in China, I like small towns, quiet and few people. In addition, Australia has developed and convenient society. These two cities are deeply in my heart

Some data of Australian inland transportation

It's also very simple to choose Jetstar. The Chinese interface is suitable for English Xiaobai. As for his low price guarantee, it's feasible as long as people who want to communicate slowly by phone. I don't bother to worry about my English level. If I book the ticket for November in September earlier, it will be cheaper. The key is to be afraid of visa. However, I should have applied for a visa long ago. Capitalism, it's true that time is money. The earlier you book, the cheaper it will be. There's no such thing as finding cheap air tickets, especially for English speakers.

I was engaged in data statistics and analysis, so I deliberately checked the ticket price records at that time. Every time I saw that the ticket price had risen, I was elated and proud. I ordered it cheap early. I didn't see any vacancy in Jetstar. Maybe November was the peak season.

Report the situation with data first

The percentage is calculated according to the total number of tickets, and the tickets are also increased in the end

In fact, leaders don't look at professional data, they generally only look at the most direct results, so they can see the picture at a glance

On October 30, we also inquired about the ticket price, which is no longer attached. The overall ticket price rises according to the approaching time. In particular, Han Island flying to Melbourne, more than 100 tickets are reluctant to go out, and finally close to 200. Please act decisively as soon as possible, and the result of the wait-and-see is the rise.

About shopping:

Women's shopping belongs to irrational shopping, so what they like to buy at that time. In fact, in the first few stops, we all controlled our shopping desire very well. At most, we also bought nuts, fruits and daily necessities in supermarkets and fairs. But starting from the penultimate stop, Ta Dao, especially in Sydney, It's like going to Priceline's Pink store and throwing away the last Australian dollar.

In terms of personal feelings, Australian items that are worth knowing and buying in advance are generally purchased by searching Taobao's Australian purchasing agent, which are basically divided into the following categories:

1: Swiss and Blackmore are the first two famous brands of health care products. In pink P shop, I saw the most occupied area of Swiss. In Woolworth, I saw many Swiss. I bought Swiss collagen tablets, high concentration propolis, Blackmore fish oil, evening primrose oil and grape seed cyanine

2: Opal gem Watch: a gem splicing chassis watch with Australian characteristics, similar to a shell watch. The price range of the watch is above 180. As for Opal gems, if you want to play with $80, you can buy a pendant in the Sunday market, and a set of $50 Earrings + chains in the souvenir shop. It's really beautiful opal gems, When I saw a single opal gem with good quality in Johnston jewellers, Melbourne, the price startled me, because I was a loser, 20% off for 2000 dollars. It was very beautiful, shining like the Great Barrier Reef. The store also had a string of beautiful amber, which seemed to cost 5000. At that time, I was salivating and staring at the window display for a long time, and then tossed about for a long time, In the end, a middle-aged and old female shop assistant in Nanjing was very impatient and swept 5 pieces of peel and Cardin opal gem stitched chassis watches, which cost more than 1000. My friends like it when they come back.

3: Sheep oil and goat soap

Everyone seems to know about Australia. I bought two bottles when I entered the gold coast. They were $5 each. They were $6 in the P shop, $8-9 in the companion shop, and $2.5 in the Chinese stall in the Queen's market in Melbourne. Well, I have a principle that I don't buy the so-called cheap Swiss and Blackmore in any drugstore in Chinatown, including sheep oil, Even in tourism product stores where Chinese acted as shopping guides, except opal watches, because the price was known at that time. I don't know why. As soon as I saw the drugstore in Chinatown, I thought of the cheaters in China. I'd rather go to the store opened by foreigners to buy expensive pictures.

4 red papaya paste Lucas

It is divided into small branch and large box, small branch 5 knives. It's not as magical as the legend, but a friend praised it highly and said it was cured of acne. I feel like Vaseline.

The legendary wool blanket

It is said that the price is about 1000, and I regret that I didn't bring it. On second thought, are there no sheep in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia?

6UGG

Ugg is said to be on the main streets of every city in Australia. I even saw $79 ugg in Sydney. In fact, the price of genuine Australian ugg is more than 1000. Because of the high cost of labor in Australia, I think it's OK to wear a 60RMB Taobao ugg. Besides, Nanning is hot. How many times can I wear it in a year?

7 milk powder

AI tamei milk powder, an ordinary 20 bucks per can, 30 bucks in gold. I brought two bucks for my colleagues' children. Shen, go to Taobao to buy it.

2. Prices and humanized services of two major supermarkets in Australia

A smart donkey friend said: there are two supermarkets in Australia, one is hungry and the other is stingy. Sure enough, the wisdom of the people is infinite. I quickly remember the name of the supermarket. COLES WOOLWORTH

Price perception:

The two supermarkets are all over the cities of Australia. They are rich in goods, and the prices are almost the same. Carrots are $1.99 a bag, and ugly pears are almost $4.99. As for garlic and ginger, the prices are really cruel, equivalent to RMB yuan. Rice belongs to the international food zone, and good rice costs more than 7 yuan a kilo, and the difference is more than 3 yuan; I buy more meat in the discount area. I like to buy minced beef. It's $2.99 a box for two days. The milk is super cheap. It's $2.2L. It's no problem to take a bath.

Intimate service:

When you buy fruits that need to be weighed in domestic supermarkets, you need to pack them, weigh them at the counter, and then collect money at the cashier. In Australia, you only need to tell the cashier what kind of fruit they are. The cashier will directly weigh and check out on the counter. There is a scale at the fruit counter, which is to show the weight to the customer. Ask the shop assistant what to buy. No matter what the shop assistant is busy, he will stop his work and take you to the shelf. I don't see people selling all the time.

One touching thing:

In the underground Woolworth supermarket near YHA on Tadao Island, I saw that the price of Swiss collagen egg tablets in large bottles at the health products counter was $20, so I bought them. When I got back to the hotel, I saw that the actual price of Swiss collagen egg tablets was more than $40. Because I was not sure, I asked my partner and planned to have a look the next day. The next day, I packed the ticket and couldn't find it. As time went by, I went to the Royal Botanical Garden first, but I still couldn't find the ticket when I came back. After packing with my friends, I went to wait for the airport bus. Thinking that there was still more than half an hour left, I decided to go to the supermarket and have a look. It was $20, but I didn't have a ticket and my English was not very good. I saw several Chinese students in the supermarket, I told them about it. They said that there was no small ticket. It was estimated that there was no hope. However, one of them accompanied me to the counter to scan the price first. When I saw that the counter was more than $40, I asked the staff to look at the price in front of the container. At this time
