iPlay @ Gold Coast, Australia

We went to Gold Coast after we left Cairns. Gold Coast is a well-known theme park capital of Australia. It has Warner Bros Movie world, Sea World Gold Coast and so on. We did not to go to any theme park as we aren't theme park lover.

View before landed at Gold Coast

We joined duck tour and walked around the city aimlessly to enjoy the beauty of the city. Then we strolled along the beautiful beach side.

Surfers Paradise.

We sat on the beach, took my shoes of to feel the sand between my toe. The sea breeze was so refreshing. The relaxing sound of the waves that crushing on the beach make me so in love with Gold Coast

Beautiful people was around the beach.

Sunrise and infinity sea view.

Little girl was chasing after pigeon. Happiness can be so simple.

From Q1's observation deck - Skypoint

Q1 is the tallest building in Australia. It has a 360 degree view at the Skypoint. One of the  friendly local resident brought us around the deck and share the history of Gold Coast with us. He pointed out the whale in the sea when whale reach the surface to breathe.

No more lonely nights!

We stopped by Harbour Town Outlet Shopping Centre for shopping. Don't miss out this place if you like to shopping. The shopping centre is about 20 mins away by bus from Surfer Paradise. Get your cash or credit card ready as you may find a great discount in this shopping centre.

Accomodation:
We were staying at Hotel Grand Chancellor in Gold Coast. The hotel is close to the beach. It has good view from room's balcony. The room was cleaned and the staff were friendly. It worth the money that we was paid for. I would recommend this hotel for those who are planning to visit to Gold Coast.

iPlay @ Cairns, Australia

Cairns

While talking about Cairns, most of you might think of Great Barrier Reef. Yes! This is why I’m here! This marine wonderland and Unesco World Heritage Site harbours one of the richest ecosystems on the planet. Of course, this is best place for diving or snorkelling. Maybe meet a sea turtle if you are lucky enough. 

Marlin Jetty Cairns. Where I departed. It took around 90 mins to Outer Great Barrier Reef.

The sea is crystal clear. Looks like yummy blue jelly. 

I apologise for not being able to share photo of this sea world as I do not have waterproof camera with me.  

Other tourist attraction – Kuranda

Kuranda Village is a township in the rainforest. Local markets are up there, selling unique souvenirs and gift items, Butterfly sanctuary, Koala Garden and many many more!

I chose go up by train to Kuranda and come back to Cairns by cable car.

Heading to the village in the rainforest! 

Surrounded by lush green forest, take a deep breath~~ to taste the fresh air.

Flying off to Gold Coast. Thanks Cairns for being such a wonderful place.  

iPlay @ Brisbane, Australia

It is third-largest city in Australia.

My first destination today - Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary! This is an easy half-day trip. Located around 30 minutes from town, public transport to the here is so convenient.

Pay $35 to enter. Let’s go!

Unfriendly and super arrogant but damn adorable . How I wish I can bring them home.

Then, Kangaroo! they are just eat,sleep and poo in front of me :D

They are so lazy and good tempered. I was able to get a chance to see a mommy-kangaroo carrying her joey. *Heart melt*

Beside these, there are a lot of other animals inside the park such as Tasmania devil, wombat, birds and many more. The Sanctuary is totally worth a visit even if you are not an animal lover.

Peaceful surroundings. Hear the birds sing!

South bank Brisbane, this is perfect place to relax and unwind. Hope you can feel it too!
