Stroll through the streets of Surfers Paradise and find a viewing spot that suits you, where you can watch the V8 Supercars, Hot Wheels Utes and Super Trucks up close.

Of course, don't underestimate the event, after all it is a competition, both fierce and friendly.
Tip: In addition to the exciting daytime events, there will be live performances by Australian bands and singers at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in the evenings, so book in advance for double the fun.
Airlie Beach Music Festival on the Whitsundays
There are many ways to explore the beach, you can take a helicopter or seaplane for a bird's-eye view of the beach; you can also take a boat to the beach and touch the fine sand with your feet; you can also experience skydiving, freefalling to see the whole picture and landing on the beach, feeling the adrenaline rush.

In Queensland, there is the beach of my dreams
Upon opening my eyes, it's a world of blue and white.
The white silica sand meets the azure sea,
just like melting ice cream.
Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach
are the dream beaches for every beach lover.
📍Hill Inlet & Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach is located in Queensland, and is possibly one of the most famous beaches among the many islands of the Whitsundays. It is made up of white silica sand with a purity of 98%, and it feels soft and cool under bare feet.
🚤You can join a day tour group, departing from Airlie Beach or Hamilton Island to reach Whitehaven Beach.
🚶You can also go to the viewing platform at Tongue Point on Whitsunday Island, to admire the layers of blue and white at Hill Inlet.
🚁Or take a sightseeing plane, and take in this palette of God from the air.
📒Travel tips:
>> September to November is usually the best season to visit Whitehaven Beach, when the weather is stable and the temperature is suitable.
>> If you come between June and September, you may have the chance to encounter migrating whales.
>> No matter when you come, remember to protect yourself from the sun, and don't forget your swimsuit!

We set off from Cairns and sailed out to the Great Barrier Reef. The weather is very good, sitting on the deck and basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze. 🌍
When the ship slowly sailed out of the high seas, the color of the sea gradually changed from dark blue to emerald green. It was really beautiful!!💙💙💙
The place that I once dreamed of is in front of me!Amazing! The underwater world is wonderful ! you can also do a helicopter overlooking the Great Barrier Reef panorama, or take a stroll under the sea.

Spectacular, Indeed!
A breath taking view of Lake Eacham, Queensland. I cannot find my words when I first saw this place a few months back when I traveled to Australia. A great escape from a busy city. Allows you to relax and regain your lost energy.

Our memorable weddingmoon trip
Getting married on the sunny Gold Coast was never expected till it happens. Combining the trip with our honeymoon was the best choice we ever made. We had a mini road trip along the three cities in Queensland Gold Coast > Brisbane > Sunshine Coast.
Sitting on a hot air balloon with my other half was a romantic dream of mine. The place was beautiful, everyone was up in the sky watch the sunrise! Everyone should really try it if they have the chance.
In 2024, I would really want to visit Korea with my partner.

Millaa Millaa Falls can be found close to the charming town of Millaa Millaa, the name of which is taken from the Aboriginal phrase MaMu that refers to a rainforest vine that is common in the area. It is surrounded by lush rainforest located on the Waterfalls Circuit in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
This magnificent waterfall has been on the Heritage Register since 2005. It is one of the most famous waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands due to its aesthetic appeal and iconic representation. The images of the falls are some of the most recognised from the region, many of which are used to advertise the Tablelands and the surrounding scenery.
The waterfall is around 18 metres high and the falls cascade perfectly to a pristine waterhole below where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or take an afternoon dip. There's also a lovely grassy picnic area for you to relax.
Millaa Millaa Falls is a must see when visiting Cairns as it is one of the most photographed in all of Australia, so make sure you bring your camera and of course, your bathers!

Every nook and cranny in this unassuming canvas is adorned with layers of personal meaning, while each element is thoughtfully tailored to foster a life adorned with experiences, memories, and wisdom.

For the first time I heard the name The Gold Coast, I thought it was a beach. It was actually a famous attraction in the beautiful city Queensland. 😁
I preffered island tours and that's why I came here. Every time I see the coastline, tiredness would have gone. The sky was so blue and the white sand atracted me a lot. Hope to live here in the future.🌊

The world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef stretches almost 1500 miles into the Pacific from the tip of Queensland. Designated a Marine Park by the Australian government and a World Heritage Area by UNESCO, the reef is home to an extraordinary abundance of species and habitats. #wintergetaway

Airlie Beach | Sea fishing is really exciting
This is the first sea fishing in my life! Although the waves are a bit seasick, it is so interesting. It took about an hour to start from the dock and finally found a suitable location for sea fishing, stopping the boat and releasing the line. I didn't expect the newcomers to be so powerful. I caught three fish in one breath. The two were put back in the sea because the size was too small. One can take it away for dinner!

20,000 miles under the sea, three kilometers at high altitude, Queensland, Australia, a beautiful place to go to the earth ~

Built in 1930, the Spanish castle, the tsunami in the rainy season of Queensland in 1946 became the current site, interpreting the animated inspiration of the Japanese Hayao Miyazaki and the castle dream of the Spanish Jose!
In addition to the castle ruins, you can also see natural waterfalls, verdant rainforests, and fireflies at night. This fairytale scene makes this one of Australia's three major wedding venues!

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef area, extending beyond the northeastern coast of Australia.

In the city of Cairns, many original residents, watching them, feel like an artist.
Carrying a bag, walking by the sea, the sky is blue and the air is fresh.

In Sanya, Tuao, you can dig a day with the children. The sand
gold coast is located in the eastern part of Australia. It is also an Australian holiday resort. It is almost equivalent to Australia's Sanya. The Gold Coast has bright sunshine and endless white sand beaches. The blue sky and blue sea, the scenery is very beautiful, the center of the Gold Coast is the Surfers Paradise, you can see many people surfing at the beach.
The Gold Coast has its own airport. From Brisbane, you can also take buses, trains, etc., just over an hour's drive and convenient transportation.
The Gold Coast is a typical tropical maritime climate. The air is humid and the sun is shining all year round. The annual average temperature is above 28 degrees. There are many tourists all year round. The best tourist season is from August to April every year. .
The Gold Coast has a wealth of outdoor activities to experience, such as skydiving, diving, walking, night watching fireflies, etc., but if you are traveling with children, the children's favorite is to sit on the beach and dig sand. Give him a small fork, feel like you can not eat or drink for a whole day, Mom and Dad don't have to worry, because the quality of the beach on the Gold Coast is very good, very soft, just pay attention to the children's sunscreen.
Right, if the whole family travels, it is recommended to buy a set of parent-child equipment in advance. The seaside is especially suitable. If you wear a parent-child costume, it is the focus of the whole beach.

Asking me where I have been, I like it the most, and I have added a Cairns.
The harbour is outside, you can hug the blue ocean in the morning and take a few steps to take the summer fruit home.
Sea water, the dinner of the fishing boat, the light from dusk to the night. The fire in the dark blue night is the temperature and light that I first approached it.
I feel the Keynes, plain and special enough, all the way I like life.

"So called sharks"
"Oh"
last The dive site, the unconstrained finale of a large aquarium, plops down to catch sharks. The patrol lined up the fish, and then began to naughty.
wide angle for 50 shots, there is no point, the underwater world seems to be more beautiful
BTW late night Great Barrier Reef is closed, whitening on the shore

comparable to the stars in the day, probably at dusk.
15:30 in the Pacific Ocean, the waves of the sea level are soft and swaying, and I can't wait to come and the sea to have a big hug.
Sunshine hits the face, letting the skin dry and dark, the sun will make people happy and addicted.
The corals of this dive point seem to have the softest color of the Great Barrier Reef, the large pink color is the girl color, and the blue sea is also dyed by the sunset.

Great Barrier Reef has always been full of expectations,
After really seeing it, it is amazing and regrettable...
Last year's statistics show that the whitening range of the Great Barrier Reef is more than 2,000 kilometers. The Australian Research Council Coral Reef Research Center confirmed that only one-third of coral reefs currently do not appear white.
Seeing a large number of bleak coral reef cemeteries,
global warming has led to the bleaching of large coral reefs,
unscrudent divers can move your feet away?
I hope that it will be well protected. I hope that after many years, this colorful underwater world can still be seen by the world!

In the Great Barrier Reef, in addition to the beautiful lagoon, overlooking the heart-shaped reef from the air, there are actually more games. Especially at night, in the quiet Whitsundays of the Whitsunday Islands, you may wish to take part in a night tour.
Follow the guide to the beach to dig your own oysters, with white wine on the spot to taste, and bring the taste of the sea. Then drive to the farm in the depths of the jungle, eat a teppanyaki meal cooked by the chef, and talk to the Chinese who have lived in Sydney for a long time. Satiate and lie down under the stars, and saw a meteor oh ~
surprise until the middle of the night did not stop, because the wild kangaroos are out of the activity, driving in a place where they often go out, Whether it is a big kangaroo or a small kangaroo is very cute.

Life in Australia is usually so slow, the car will go at the intersection and other pedestrians in the past, here, it seems that it is not a matter of 10 minutes late, because it seems that the air flow is slow.
In the evening, look at the boat at the seaside of the city. When there are seagulls flying from time to time, I will follow the birds, then look at other people fishing, I want to live here, don't go.
