Morning on The Last Day of Our Travel to Australia

The travel to Australia was far better than I had anticipated before.

Weather couldn't be better, being able to see amazing wild lives, friendly people, nice food ...

We brought back priceless memory, beautiful photo data I had taken and souvenirs.

Even having no plan yet, I can't  wait for the next trip to somewhere.

Top Season of the Schoolies Week in Australia

Australian have a tradition of high-school graduates having week-long holidays following the end of their final exams in late November and early December.

They call it Schoolies Week.  It is said that the Gold Coast is home to the nation's largest schoolies celebration destinations.

We went to Australia just in the season of Schoolies Week.

So, there were a lot of young boys and girls in the Gold Coast.

I don't know why but the number of girls in the town was far bigger than that of boys.

We Go Up SkyPoint Observation Deck

The second day of our stay in Australia, we went up to SkyPoint observation deck.

The deck towers 230 meters above the Surfers Paradise beach.

We were able to command a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of Gold Coast on a perfect clear blue sky day.

The hotel which we stayed was less than 100 meters away from the SkyPoint building.

Gold Coast Surfers Paradise

We stayed at a hotel located in the north end of Surfers Paradise beach. I was able to walk to the beach side in a couple minutes walking.

Beautiful Pacific Ocean was always there without our expectations during our one week stay.

Safe area for swimming was shown using flags and indication board by life guards run by Gold Coast City Council.

The followings are the guideline of the beach.

• Always swim between the red and yellow flags. If the flags aren't up, it may not safe to swim, so always ask a lifeguard if it's safe to swim if you cannot see the flags
• Check for additional beach signage, as this may change every day
• Read the safety warnings
• Check with a lifeguard about beach and water conditions if you're not sure it's safe
• Put your hand up and stay calm if you get in trouble in the water
