    I got up early today and left the hotel. I took the Glink bus to Broad Beach South Station, then transferred to bus number 700 directly to the zoo, arriving around 9:45. However, there was a minor hiccup before entering the zoo: one of the tickets I purchased through a certain platform wasn't issued, and it took a long time to resolve the issue. Note that certain platforms use QR codes, so issuance is slow, but you can use the fast lane. Later, I switched to using Ctrip, which issued tickets quickly, but forced me to queue through the regular lane. Upon ticket inspection, I discovered that the tickets issued that day were valid, while all the tickets from yesterday were invalid. I quickly contacted customer service, who eventually offered a one-for-one refund. However, after all this hassle, by the time I bought new tickets through Ctrip, it was almost 11 a.m., a delay of nearly an hour. Tickets purchased on-site cost 70 Australian dollars for adults and 50 Australian dollars for children. The zoo isn't very large, and there aren't any wild animals. It primarily displays Australian animals, with koalas and kangaroos being the most famous. You can touch the kangaroos up close, and their fur is incredibly soft. They're also quite docile, though I didn't see any mothers. The park's design is quite unique, like walking through the jungle. There's also a small train that provides a leisurely stroll. There's a lunch spot, featuring set meals like burgers and fries. There's a playground for younger children nearby, and across the street is an outdoor playground for older kids. However, I didn't see any capybaras during my tour.

    Gold Coast Sea World is perfect for a family outing. There are plenty of kid-friendly attractions, as well as more exciting rides for older children and adults. There are also opportunities to get up close and personal with marine animals. The highlight was the dolphin show. The dolphins and the staff interacted so well with each other—these animals are so charming and adorable. We also bought some souvenirs to bring back for friends and family. Our family had so many wonderful memories from the day.

    Paradise Farm is a treasure trove for experiencing the Australian countryside! As soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the natural scent of hay and soil. The fluffy sheep, cute kangaroos and emus are wandering on the grass, which is very immersive. The most important thing you can't miss is the wool shearing performance! The farm workers skillfully "transform" the sheep. After the fluffy thick hair is shed, the sheep instantly becomes "skinny". You can also touch the wool on the spot, which is soft and healing. There is also a sheepdog show, where the dogs flexibly shuttle among the sheep, which is super smart! By the way, you can also feed the kangaroos by hand. They look super cute holding the feed bags. Remember to touch their backs gently. There is also a traditional Billy Tea brewing performance in the farm. Tea is boiled on the campfire with a tin kettle and paired with Australian toast. One bite is the authentic country taste. If you want to take photos, put on the cowboy clothes provided by the farm, stand in front of the red barn, and take photos that look like a western movie in minutes. It is a great place to immerse yourself in the Australian farming and pastoral life.

    I felt a little dizzy on the way there, but didn't throw up. I wasn't dizzy at all on the way back. The onboard service was excellent, and the free lunch was delicious, plentiful, and wholesome. There were plenty of activities to see, and they were all very nice. After disembarking, the entire crew came down to see us off, which was very touching. What an excellent team! A thoughtful trip.

    I booked for 11 o'clock, but was late. I called the number on the introduction page and it was automatically changed to 12 o'clock. The call was accurate. Ctrip's price was the cheapest.

    5 stars for the degree of enjoyment and 5 stars for the degree of excitement. Try to avoid weekends and holidays, as the queues under the sun are too long. If you go in the morning, it is recommended to grab a good position in the surfing pool after arriving. There is a row of lounge chairs on the shore.

    If you have enough time, you can take your children to the aquarium. If you are going there on purpose, it is not necessary. You should also spend time in the classic places such as the Great Barrier Reef and Kuranda. Overall, it is comfortable and leisurely, and children like it.
