This is the first time our family really out of the country self-guided tour, before also been to Singapore, Malaysia. Preparation from the visa to air tickets, hotels, car rental booking are referred to from the world outside the park, benefited a lot, the only thing I have to put their own travel experience to give back one or two.

Two, driving roadmap
Pre-existing google maps will be daily driving the The roadmap is printed out in detail, and the GPS "double sword", really invincible. For those who like or have a strong memory, just use the roadmap will also be unimpeded, the biggest difficulty in foreign driving in the city, in the case of speed to maintain a faster timely turn line will be somewhat difficult. Highly recommended to use GPS, save a lot of memory map, route effort, more time to enjoy the scenery.
Three, the pre-trip preparation
1, visa
In full accordance with the instructions of the World Wide Web Garden seniors to prepare materials, send a visa. The first thing I did was to get a banker's certificate of deposit, which I borrowed 50,000 dollars from the bank to make a fixed deposit. I was able to get a passport in 4 days after the delivery of the visa. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this one.
2, air ticket booking
In mid-June, I began to search the Internet, and at first I asked the "one flight international air ticket network" to help me, and I could consult directly with the phone, and the service was very considerate, but because of the peak season (it turns out that although the summer vacation is winter in Australia, the air ticket is the second only to the Chinese New Year's peak season).
After the discovery of Macau extraordinary Sydney return trip low-cost airline one-way AUD 199, coupled with its airport taxes and fees cheaper than taking off from the domestic, converted into RMB round trip of about 4,300 yuan, and immediately placed an order on the Internet. The extraordinary machine seat broad, far better than JETSTAR sit, but not every day there are flights to Sydney, probably 2 days a class, directly on its website / sc / query can be.
Australia to fly the two air tickets are selected Virgin blue. through.au/ can also check Australia's major airlines on a particular day of the voyage and price comparison, can be directly into the booking. It was very easy to use.
3. Hotel booking
Internet search, using wotif.com.au; hotel.backpackers.com; LP as a guide, and using google maps to check the exact location. According to the standard of about $100 per night per family member, finally found that it is still booked two bedroom apartment is the most economical and practical, because you also have to cook your own food, afterwards proved to be a very wise move, the child loved it, said it was like home. Two of the stops arranged separately (Melbourne, Gold Coast) to relax, also has kitchen equipment apartment. The hotels and rates are as follows:

4, car rental
Booked in advance in Budget, because we need 8-seater car, generally less. Sydney city to pick up, Melbourne city to return, a week's rent and additional taxes and fees do not add insurance less than $ 700, in order to plan for safety, we bought an additional $ 36 of insurance. If the airport to pick up and return the car plus a larger amount of money, not as cost-effective as playing, we six people in Melbourne to the airport to spend $ 67 (call the call is very convenient, just an additional charge of about $ 1.3, more people say clearly how many people, we often call to 9 - 12 seats varying from the cab)
5, train ticket booking
Also booked in advance, Brisbane and Sydney run between the train on the The website of countrylink is a good place to book your train tickets.
Four, the trail (running account)
(A) Sydney
July 22, 10:00 a.m. arrived at Sydney International Airport, to the residence of a little rest that is to Circular Quay around the walk. The sun was shining, the sky and the sea were bright blue, and the big shells were spreading their wings, so if it wasn't for the clothes on my back, I would have thought it wasn't winter.
July 23rd is a full day of walking in the city, starting from Central Station, Chinatown, Darling Harbour, Town Hall, City Centre, Fish Market (Lunch); Hyde Park, Gallery of NSW; Mrs. Macquarie's Point; and the city center. Macquarie's Point; 5pm back to Budget in Kinghurst to pick up my car, the Filipino lady at the reception said that she could not read the notarized driver's license issued in China and could not hand over the car to me, she said I need to get it issued in Australia. At first, I politely explained the content of the notarization, but this person still insisted. I asked her if she didn't know English or didn't trust the Chinese authorities. Insisting that many of my friends have already rented cars in Australia with this document, she asked if it was Budget and replied firmly. She was so adamant about it that she got the attention of the white guy at the counter before she gave up. From then on, I always go to a white person, friendly and easy to deal with. After dinner, I drove to Mrs. Macquarie's Chair and The Rocks at the bottom of Harbour Bridge to see the Opera House at night.
(2) Hunter Valley
July 24th, I woke up early and found that it was raining, and I was a bit worried that today's trip would be a disappointment. The rain got heavier and heavier as we got on the road, and even poured down midway through the trip. it was the LG's first time on a foreign road, and it was right-hand drive, so I was a little nervous about getting on the road this morning, even though I had a friend from the local area who was there last night to guide me around for almost an hour. Once out of the city on the excitement up, the road on both sides of the scenery is too beautiful, rolling hills and pastures, between the occasional quiet lake bay, forests, the road is not a lot of cars and fast, but they are all very well behaved. lg exclaimed that this is what is called driving, the original driving can also be a kind of enjoyment! LG exclaimed that this is what driving is all about, so driving can be a pleasure! From then on, he and his friends grabbed the chance to drive, leaving me, the only one among the four who has had overseas driving experience, in the cold. In fact, I just want LG and my daughter in this tour can really feel Australia, western society ......
Following the GPS directions took 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there. The sky is beautiful, the rain stopped, a large piece of a large piece of yellow-green, light yellow grass of the pasture in the vehicle driving on both sides of the countryside road spread out, occasionally cattle, sheep dotted with its, everything is quiet, pure, in a bit of gray fog under the blue sky quiet very much. My daughter called to stop and look at the cows and sheep from time to time.
There are more than 100 wineries in the valley, basically have a free tasting offer, we walked a few LP recommendations, but unfortunately arrived late, can not see the wine production process (every day at 11:00 a.m., part of their brochures on the tour logo only have this program). When I started to try the wine, my friend was a little embarrassed, and only after I kept urging him to put down his face and pick up a glass of wine, I gradually realized that the winemakers were very happy and enthusiastic, the more they drank, the happier they were, and they never took the initiative to talk to each other, and even more so, they would not have words with sales attempts, and they would only answer enthusiastically to the guests when they asked questions, and thank them when they left, and they would also thank us cheerfully, and we felt that we had come all the way to this place to drink their wine! I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said!
The Hunter Valley tourist information on its website search: .au/
(C) Canberra Canberra
July 25, Sydney friends temporarily decided to travel with us to Melbourne. The original GPS shows that the journey is about 3 hours, but the Australian friend is very uneasy about GPS, must be according to his understanding of the route to go, the result of the use of 4 hours. It was raining in Sydney, but after half an hour on the road it was sunny, and the scenery on the road was just as beautiful as the endless countryside pastures.
Lunch at the shore of Lake Burley Griffin (Lake Burley Griffin) to eat bread, fruit to solve, and then seize the time to tour its library, science and technology centers, the High Court, the Museum of Fine Arts, Parliament House (Parliament House)), the Embassy District, the National Museum of Australia (National Museum), but unfortunately there is not enough time to enjoy the details. The National Museum of Australia (NMA), the National Museum of Australia (NMA), the National Museum of Australia (NMA), the National Museum of Australia (NMA), the National Museum of Australia (NMA), the National Museum of Australia (NMA) and the National Museum of Australia (NMA).
LG and I like to visit museums, especially foreign ones, the exhibition is vivid, fine, art museums are treasures of the collection, high standard, unlike the domestic ones, which are mostly paid to earn fame of a certain famous who who's painting exhibitions and so on, treasures of the museum collection are well treasured, no questions asked by outsiders, not to mention free of charge. People's service is also first-class, there are items stored so that you can easily view. For the first time, LG was in a hurry to see the exhibits, so a smiling beauty stopped and said that the clothes you are wearing are quite big and warm outside, so I suggest that you take them off and store them before you lighten up and go to enjoy the exhibits. I don't know when in the country also enjoy such considerate and thoughtful service?
The night in order to let the two children to see a foreign university, specially arranged to stay in the National University. Into the room they were happy to jump and scream, large living room, wide dining room kitchen shower room balcony and usually domestic tourism when living in the hotel is completely different, are paved with carpet, very clean, their reaction to the fruit is not what I expected, said more comfortable than at home, and secretly enjoy this return on my hard work, it is worth a lot.
(4) Yarra Valley
July 26th, I got up early in the morning and went to Yarra Valley, which is about an hour's drive away from Melbourne, and drove for nearly 8 hours, almost all on the road. When I was arranging the trip, I wanted to spend as much time as possible in some small towns while I had a car, and I found a place to stay before going to Penguin Island (Phillip Island) ---- Yarra Valley. It happens to be one of the three major wine regions in Australia (Barosa, Yarra Valley, Hunter Valley), and the earliest itinerary was to visit Barosa. The earliest itinerary also intended to go to Barosa, but out of time considerations cut love, leaving the next Perth - Adelaide - Tasmania to complete.
The road from Canberra to Yarra Valley is beyond imagination. At the beginning, it is also like the pasture scenery in the past, but it is more elegant, with more undulating hills, and when we reach Yarra Glen (which is already in the river valley, but not in Healsville, where we stayed), we enter the winding path of the forest park. Forest trees on both sides of the light twilight in a surprisingly beautiful, and through the foliage seeping in the spot light, such as into a fairy tale. Healsville 5 pm, it is already dark, directly to the supermarket after purchasing to the motel cooking.
July 27th was woken up early by the birds outside the window and found the town's scenery excellent. After breakfast, the troops split into two, LG and I, Sydney peer friends couple to go walking wineries; my daughter with a friend's family to go on safari, about 11 o'clock rendezvous, and later found that there is not enough time, the rendezvous time to delay 1 hour 30 minutes, preferring to cancel the lunchtime change to eat bread.
The wineries and vineyards here are bigger, prettier and more natural than those in the Hunter Valley, which has a slightly more touristy flavor compared to the Hunter Valley, and this is a very pure feeling of wine production. The winery architecture is more in tune with the surrounding natural beauty.
(5) Phillip Island
After a quick lunch in the Yarra Valley on July 27, we drove to Phillip Island to see the world's smallest fairy penguin. It's a perfect place to stay, just a few steps from the beach. The beach, waves, rocks and pastures are all in one place, and I'm glad I chose to stay here instead of leaving Melbourne to see the Penguin Parade, as most people do.
After checking in at the Motel, I went to the information center in town and purchased a ticket for Penguin Parade and food for the evening, then I drove around the peninsula, and saw a large herd of cows up close.
We arrived at Summerland Beach at 5.10pm before the viewing time (5.45pm on the day's forecast). After coming to Australia, it was the first time to see so many tourists, many yellow skin, may be the reason for the group, to see about half of them left, the bleachers at once less than half of the people, we have been reluctant to leave, with the cold wind to see the end of the Parade, but also to see them in the nest, the nest of the fidget, singing, gentle fights. These little penguins are so cute, the little girl learns to walk with a waddle. Since they are not allowed to touch, I bought a stuffed animal for her to cuddle and fall asleep with a smile on her face.
(F) Melbourne Melbourne
July 28th early morning drive to Melbourne, the drive 1 hour 40 minutes, the road is very good to go, look at the road signs on the line. The hotel is booked on the south bank of the Yarra River, which is very convenient for traveling, and the car is put down in the city according to LP's roadmap. Cityscape is not as beautiful as originally expected, Union Square would like to try to create a modern atmosphere a little mixed, old buildings also seem to lack a bit of momentum, the Cultural Arts Center's "tutu" seems to be not very special, but my daughter's diary that night was titled "old and new are compatible! "She said the new is very new and the old is very old.
There was a sprinkle of rain at noon, but it stopped in 20 minutes or so. Most comfortable or wandering along the Yarra River, the Botanic Gardens and looking at paintings in the National Museum of Victoria, all of which are of a very high standard. I was a bit sorry that I didn't get to ride the free cable car, and I didn't see one after walking around the city for most of the day.
The evening walk along the river is very comfortable, the fireworks show in front of the Crown Casino is actually general, but the river view is very elegant, LG repeatedly praised me for booking the hotel location is too good.
(7) Great Ocean Road
July 29, the weather was sunny. I set off early in the morning, and after passing Geelong, the scenery started to get prettier. In Torquay, I went to the information center to get a map and asked for advice on the scenic spots along the way. The female volunteers on duty were so nice that they introduced the scenery along the way and labeled it on the map. I took the map and went on the road, the scenery is infinite, worthy of the title of one of the most beautiful coastline, more beautiful than the U.S. Highway 1 coastline, winning the shape and color of the rocks along the shore. I had a pizza at Lorne roadside store at lunchtime, and the flavor and mood were both excellent.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Twelve Apostles to watch the sunset at 4:30 p.m. According to the plan, it was a pity that the sky, which had been a big bitch of a sunshine, suddenly gathered its light, and the brilliant sunset that was expected to be visible was turned into a clear sky with a little bit of light gray. But its beauty is also very shocking, although the wind up blowing quite big, we have been fond of, stay until the gray went down before leaving.
Port Campbell is a very small town, the hotel is directly across from the town's only small supermarket, check in landlord reminded it to close at 6:30, Australia everywhere to enjoy the thoughtful service.
Waking up on the morning of July 30th, I spent half an hour on the shore in front of the hotel, and the sky was even bluer and purer than yesterday. I just couldn't get enough of the beauty of the Twelve Apostles, and decided to drive back and wander around for an hour or so before I had to let go of my love for them. To The Arch and a few other attractions to walk on the way back to Melbourne, all the way to the pasture scenery more mountain flavor, there are a few sections of the road to give people a sudden emergence of a beautiful scenery or look back to see a picture of the surprise. There was still time to get back to the city and spend the rest of the day at the War Memorial.
(H) Cairns
July 30, 9 pm flight, from the downtown Melbourne Budget car return office called a nine-passenger cab, to the airport 67 yuan, than to the airport car return more than 130 yuan to save. I had a great time at the airport with my kids, and I was able to print my boarding pass (actually a ticket) at the airport. I arrived at Cairns Airport in the early hours of July 31st, and took a taxi ($23) to the hotel's self-service mailbox to pick up my room key by using the code that my host had told me in an email beforehand.
1. Kuranda
Waking up at 8am on the 31st, I walked to Central Station for breakfast and caught the scenic train to Kuranda (departing at 9:30am). In Kuranda to avoid the tourists in its forest walking trail (Jungle Walk), very quiet and lovely, rare daughter also enjoy this kind of austerity, saw a Bat protection house, a variety of hanging all over the net house, the caretaker specially invited two for my daughter to see, the strange thing is that they are very cute, and usually seen in the country is different.
Returning to Skyrail, really enjoy. The feeling of walking through the vast forest is so great that my daughter refused to cooperate with the photo, saying that it was a waste of her time!
2, Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef
Hotel landlord (a middle-aged couple) to provide free booking service (which is also one of the reasons why I chose it, because when we arrived in the early hours of the morning, there is no time to contact the other). July 31 night we came back to the evening of July 31st, they are very careful to compare the recommendation of a variety of sea tours, and at first looked for a special offer is being done! 139 package brunch and transfers, but unfortunately full of people, this is the peak season of tourism in this area. After finding a 119 yuan free a child free glass boat (per capita 20 yuan), the next day on the boat only to know that only we fought for the hotel to be free of glass boat, in order to show appreciation, sent the landlady a small silk scarf, she kept thanking.
There were only six Chinese in the group, plus four Japanese who were Asian faces. We stopped at two outer reef sites and had a long dive and snorkel time. The weather is also very good, the sky and the sea are too blue, go to the journey also see whales. Because of the big waves, fellow friends daughter vomited, LG, daughter and I am not very comfortable. Stopped to rent a diving suit (with warmth, after all, only 24 degrees and windy, for fear that the little girl frozen. See a lot of beautiful women on a three-pointed type is not a little cold, admire!) Daughter because of their own too thin, not in the water has been cold shivering, but insisted on going into the water, perhaps she is the only child, and do not know how to swim it, a white coach moved to accompany her, take her to the bottom of the water in the most beautiful place to turn around, see her look up on the concern of the question "Ok? I followed along and realized that the place he was taking me was really prettier than the place I was swimming around in.
(IX) Gold Coast Gold Coast
August 2, 6:00 a.m. flight to Brisbane, 8:00 a.m., directly to the Gold Coast by van to the hotel booked (4 large and 2 small car fee of 170 yuan, a little expensive, due to a friend's daughter a little bit of discomfort or less change the car it)
To the hotel at 10:00 a.m., failed to check in, we first went to the surrounding area to walk around the Q-Deck. The Q-Deck, on top of the Gold Coast look more beautiful. 1 o'clock back to the hotel, see my friend is very angry still do not get a room, because the original counter that first time in this trip did not have a smile expression, and even a little bit of hard attitude of the waitress had promised to try to move out of the first room (here I booked the 2 high-rise apartment room). My friend said that she had seen people who could get the key as soon as they arrived, but they could not, and she saw a lot of warnings in Chinese, so she felt that the foreign woman was being discriminatory. I went to talk to them, and they replied that they still hadn't cleaned the place properly. My friend was still upset and I felt guilty. When it was 2 o'clock, the waiter gave us the room key on time, and it was really a high-rise room, 17th floor, facing the sea, with a great view, and there were only 3 rooms of this kind, so I realized that the rooms of the other guests who could check in in advance were really different from ours, and my unhappiness disappeared just now. But my friend has just been nagging, insisting that people discriminate against Chinese tourists, the reason is that there are Chinese warnings everywhere, I took a closer look, are both English and Chinese bi-lingual, posted in the need to remind the place, the original English is very polite, but the Chinese translation is very Taiwan-style with a bit of a condescending attitude, will really cause unpleasant feelings. When I came back in the evening, I wanted to discuss with the counter about the Chinese special reminder, and I saw a lot of noise in the lobby, and it turned out to be a tour bus sending dozens of Chinese high school students, and our lovely future may be really excited, running and screaming ....... I was too embarrassed to mention anything to the counter.
The beach was so beautiful that we spent the afternoon, evening, and the next morning on the beach, playing in the water, playing in the sand, taking walks, picking up shells, watching the sun set and rise, and enjoying a short relaxing vacation.
(10) Brisbane Brisbane
August 2 at noon from the Gold Coast train to Brisbane, Motel in Spring Hill, not far from Central Station walk over. The landlady is very nice, take the map on the top mark out the nearest super market and go to city center route, just can check in in advance. see the time is still early, put down the luggage and hurry to play to Lone Pine (Yellow Cab more than 6 people that is to charge 11 yuan, this trip cab fee is a little expensive, 46 yuan; back to take the public **** car is only 2 yuan per person to Queen Street). The taxi fare is a bit expensive, $46; the return trip by bus is only $2 per person to Queen Street). This place is very touristy and small, far from the Yarra Valley's big, natural and many animals. The biggest advantage is that you can hold koalas to take pictures (when you buy tickets, you get a coupon for $3 off), feed kangaroos and watch some animal shows. My daughter was the happiest.
August 3, most of the day walking in the city, the trip is about 8 kilometers. Town Hall is average, the center of the square can be, the state museum and art gallery exhibitions are very Queensland characteristics, which has a part of the display of many animals, sea creatures, shells, specimens, very beautiful and interesting. South Bank Park and the Brisbane River is quite pleasant to walk, the Maritime Museum has a lot of ships on display, back to the city on the bridge has a canopy, very comfortable. In order to catch the train at Roma Street Transit Center before 2 o'clock, my daughter was quite tired on the way, but still insisted, LG carried her for a while. LG couldn't bear to carry her on his back for a while. I was worried that she would get tired because of the tight schedule, but I didn't realize that my 13 year old sister, who was traveling with me, collapsed first and caught a cold. Daughter has maintained a high level of enthusiasm, play very enjoyable, the main reason is that she will be in the car, airplane, train to catch time to sleep. So traveling with children to fully consider the child's own capacity to set the trip. Fellow friends in the development of my itinerary to consult their views always say: "your daughter can do, we are sure no problem." In fact, it's not necessarily true. I also ignored, and finally appeared her daughter cold I also feel guilty.
Thinking back on this journey, beyond what we expected good, a little worried about the Australian winter weather before departure will be less beautiful, I did not expect Australia's winter is so beautiful, and I did not expect to be still sunburned black, to go to the skiing a little snow will be more interesting, because my daughter has already experienced will be canceled. Before the trip, many friends heard that in July and August to go to Australia, are very expert in saying that it is winter, can not go down to the water. But LG and I must be with my daughter to give up a long trip, with the mentality of looking at the winter scenery to do homework, only to find that this time period is actually very good. Cairns does not have four seasons, only two seasons (dry and wet), and July and August is the dry season, the weather is one of the best time. I saw a completely different landscape this time to the drizzly day I visited in October 2004; even down south, as long as the sun shines during the day, which it does every day, the landscape is beautiful and, apart from a thick layer of clothing, it is just as enjoyable. Recommended to accommodate children's vacations parents choose to go to Australia in the summer vacation will be better than the Spring Festival to go, the weather, scenery, save money are better
