On January 25, 2014, a group of 17 people including classmates, friends, and relatives from Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Chengdu began an Australia 16-day RV self-drive trip. It lasted 16 days. Main itinerary: Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Great Barrier Reef, Cairns. And then flew from Cairns back to Melbourne to return home. The total distance was about 5000 kilometers.

The famous heart-shaped reef of the Great Barrier Reef (taken by myself). It flashes by quickly, hard to capture and see clearly. Might be better to take a helicopter.
