My mom: Why didn't you post the photos from your trip to Australia on Ctrip?

Here they are! By the way, let me share some insights and practical tips from this trip. It's currently the peak season for travel between China and Australia, transitioning from winter to spring, making the weather very comfortable for travel - 11-day itinerary D1: Shanghai → Brisbane D2: Brisbane → Gold Coast (You can hold a koala!) D3: Free day in Gold Coast D4: Brisbane → Tullamarine → Dandenong Ranges D5: One-way coastal route on the Great Ocean Road D6: Tullamarine International Airport → Cairns D7: Cairns World Heritage Great Barrier Reef - Green Island D8: Cairns → Sydney D9: Free day in Sydney D10: Sydney → Blue Mountains National Park (including cable car fee) → Leura Town for a relaxing time → Sydney D11: Shanghai - 🔍Tips 1. The UV rays in Australia are very strong, so remember to bring sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, and a sun hat. Local sunscreen brands are very nice, non-greasy, with high SPF, and reasonably priced, costing only a few dozen RMB for a small tub. 2. You can't get a tax refund in New Zealand, but you can in Australia. You can get a tax refund at the airport for purchases over 300 AUD. 3. In Melbourne, mainly take trams, and in Sydney, mainly trams, trains, and ferries, all of which support Visa cards! 💳 4. For a long trip, remember to bring a power strip and a power bank, and don't forget an Australian three-pin power adapter. 5. Prepare seasickness medicine for the Great Barrier Reef trip as the waves can be very strong. 6. Tipping is not mandatory in Australia, so it's okay not to tip. 7. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring a jacket to keep warm. It can be 27 degrees during the day and drop to 14 degrees at night. 8. Every attraction has places to fill up your water bottle. If you don't like drinking directly from the tap, you can take your cup to a milk tea shop and ask for water, and they will usually give it to you for free. Bottled water can be bought in stores, but small bottles are more expensive, so it's better to buy a liter bottle. - Traveling in Australia is definitely worth it. The combination of natural scenery and city experiences is very nice, plus the adorable animals 🐨. I believe everyone will need some time to adjust after returning. Have a great trip~ If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.
