布里斯本唐人街
布里斯本唐人街不像Sydney及Melbourne,那樣大。唐人街真是短的一條小街。
I am from Hong Kong. We got the world class public transport. So, I don’t need to check the time table first. But if you vist Australia, I suggest you go online to check the time table. Even you vist the major cities. I have lived in the largest city in Australia , Sydney for around a year. They got very frequent train service during weekday. But at the weekend or late night, there may be every half hour for a train. So, please go to

http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/ (Melbourne)
Moreover, they have a journey planner which will suggest which bus or train you should take!

6. Australian National Maritime Museum @ Darling Harbour
7. Then that should be around dinner time

Blue Mountain – you take a train or day tour
Day 3:
Manly – You take a ferry from Circular Quay
And then take an evening flight back
I got a lot of information about Europe. That is a bit diffient from the most visitors. They paid more attentions on Pacific Islands or New Zealand.
Yesterday, I went to Travel Expo. There was many people. Moreover, almost major airlines were in there too. I found that is around $1K from Brisbane to Hong Kong.
Royal Exhibition Building is a late 19 century building. It built on 1880 for International Exhibition. Too bad, on the time I visited there, there was some constructions inside. So, I can’t go inside into the building. By the way, that is listed as World Heritage.

There are two major budget airlines in Australia. They are Virgin Blue and Jetstar.
Jetstar is owned by QANTAS and are serving in Airbus fleets. Virgin Blue is owned by Virgin Groups. They are using Boeing fleets. They are similar with the budget airlines, you need to make your booking online and the price is varying. I like to use webjet.com.au. It can gather the price form both airlines. Then you can compare to use the cheapest one. But there are a few things you have to be aware to use budget airlines. Firstly, the airplane you choose to use. Sometime, they will land the airplane away from the city. Moreover, luggage charge are not included with air fare normally.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is another place to be marked "Must Visit". That is another historical style place which completed on 1939. But it started the planning on 1851, there were various reasons to cause a big. delay For further info, please go to wikipedia . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Patrick’s_Cathedral,_Melbourne
St. Patrick’s Cathedral是歌德式的大教堂。十分有氣勢.它是建於1939年,不過,開始建築是早在1851,因各種原因,工程拖延甚久。Wikipedia有更深入的解釋,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Patrick’s_Cathedral,_Melbourne
Melbourne is not small. There is across a few streets. That doesn’t like the one in Brisabne is smalll and old.
