The gems of Queensland

One great thing bout living in Queensland is that Gold Coast is so much accessible from here. It  just need an hour of train ride and there we are at the awesome Gold Coast beach and the fun filled and trailing theme parks. Though I haven been to the theme parks before, but hitting the beach in Gold Coast is what I used to do when I'm in Gold Coast. One of the main beach in Gold Coast is the Surfers Paradise, or u can choose to go the the beach further down which is named, Broad Beach.


But one thing is that I haven been to the theme park in gold coast before. There are two seperately own theme park in gold coast, one is the movie world; wet n wild; and sea world. And the other one is the Dream world linked with the water world. So the tickets here is either u purchased a combination of theme park, get an annual ticket with unlimited access before expiry date, or u can simply choose to purchase a single theme park with single entry pass. Well, I have heard a lot bout the theme parks, n i heard the rides are trailing and scary. Still I'm so fascimnated to try them all , so lets bring it on!

Places that is a must-shop spot in Australia, is the Direct factory outlet (DFO) and Harbour Town that u cant miss in every city of Australia. For queensland, the DFO is situated nearby from the brisbane airport and we called it the airport village. Whereas the harbour town in queensland, it is situated in Gold Coast n u need to catch a bus and train to reach there. They both are awesome shopping spots!


Well, besides shopping and city life I am a person who likes to get closer to nature. So I managed to look up for this temple located somewhere near suburb and finally get to spend a day there. Sometimes u will realize they are still many beautiful places that people just missed out because there are not touristy enough to attract the crowds.


Its really amazing to discover such a huge temple being so well maintained and built in Australia. But I have heard from a senior that there is still part of the temple which have been abondened and not being able to resume contruction due to financial difficulties. Well, hope they will be able to gain some funds through the donations and complete the whole large scale of the temple soon.

And sometimes, we should really make the first move to explore and you will then realize how many hidden treasure out there that are reamin unfound n not being discovered. Let me share with youa  few shots of a random park at Underwood.
