    Amazing Views & Great Experience!SkyPoint Observation Deck was one of the highlights of my Gold Coast trip. The express lift takes you up in seconds, and the moment the doors open you’re greeted with stunning 360° views of the coastline, ocean and city skyline. Absolutely breathtaking!I visited around sunset and the view was unforgettable — perfect for photos. The café/bar upstairs is a nice touch too; I enjoyed a relaxing drink while taking in the scenery.It can get a bit busy during peak hours, but the views are totally worth it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Gold Coast!

    Located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. There is a large free parking lot, it is very popular, the rides are rich and varied, the ticket price is not expensive, the price-performance ratio is good, you can drink for the price of one drink all day. If you pass by, I recommend staying for a day, it's fun

    It is a very nice place to chill around, especially on the weekend. There are also restaurants by the river where you could grab a drink and enjoy your day.

    Recently enjoyed a climb to the summit of Page again, the climb was tough, not that I mean to say that, but this particular hike involved climbing up a rocky, steep stone face and it was windy, but having said that there are many other options in the area to suit climbers of all experience levels.

    The building is impressive and historical. The mayor is basically not in the office so it is not like some legends that the mayor can be seen in the office but the front desk is always there. There is a museum upstairs with permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions, there are often various activities in front of the building, there is a restaurant downstairs and a city canteen that only opens when there is a concert. At least I feel that it is a canteen.

    Before coming to Cairns, I had always wanted to take advantage of the tropical 🏝️ characteristics here and rent a cost-effective hotel or B&B with a swimming pool. In fact, after I came here, I found that there was a free public large swimming pool here. It is really a treasure place! This is in the center of Cairns, adjacent to the seaside. Not far away is the helicopter 🚁 helipad, behind is the Cairns Night Market, and there is a supermarket across the road. It is not far from the cruise terminal ⛵️. It is within walking distance of the Cairns Art Gallery 🎨 and the Aquarium 🐟. Generally, you can arrange to visit the above two indoor venues during the day and go to this lagoon swimming pool 🏊 in the evening. Although it is free, the water quality is still good. It is equipped with professional lifeguards and clean shower 🚿 changing rooms and toilets. There are also some areas for BBQ 🍖 on the side. Even if you live in a hotel or B&B in the city center that does not include a swimming pool and a yard, you can completely treat it as a back garden and stroll around. At night, go to the night market and have a feast. This life is absolutely wonderful! Tips: For those who are short on time, I recommend staying in a hotel or B&B in the city center. The package is here! Generally, the trips to SkyRail, Kuranda and Palm Bay are a bit farther, so it is recommended to sign up for a day trip for convenience!
