First Trip to Australia: Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, Brisbane

On a summer morning, a little after six o'clock, walking on the streets of Guangzhou, with sparse pedestrians and cars, the morning air was slightly cool. Suddenly, I thought of Brisbane in the southern hemisphere, a city somewhat similar to Guangzhou, and remembered the journey that was nearly a year ago. So I decided not to delay any longer and properly organize this memory.

On another late spring morning, I opened my long-neglected personal page and couldn't help but chuckle at the words above, because another nine years had passed......

Following the principle of not backtracking, I chose to enter through Melbourne and exit through Brisbane. So my first encounter with Australia was this globally livable city.

Accommodation: Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne

Checked the Ctrip order, 3 nights for 3627. It was my first self-guided trip this far, and with my daughter, safety and comfort were more important. I didn't dare to skimp too much, so I chose a standard hotel. My first experience with Radisson was good; the hotel faced an unbeatable park view, and although the decor was simple, it was extremely clean.

Street views: A few photos above, buildings full of historical character, retro trams. Melbourne is like a huge architectural museum.
