2013.09.16 Sydney@Australia Day 4 | Featherdale Wildlife Park / QVB

Since the 18th century, Captain Cook discovered Botany Bay, the British Government in Port Jackson at Sydney Bay to establish a penal colony, the capital of the dispute during the two cities Sydney Melbourne with Australia's most powerful when called Sydney Melbourne criminals to build the city.

Mention Sydney,  reminiscent of New Year's Eve fireworks in Darling Harbour, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge, Sydney is surrounded by Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour including) was built, with more than 70 harbor and beaches, including the famous Bondi Beach . On the outskirts of Sydney have Blue Mountain Blue Mountain not just referring to a separate mountain, but a plateau. It is near several national parks with the compositional The Greater Blue Mountains Area, elected in 2001 as the world's natural heritage.


The aircraft took off from Melbourne 06:50, 08:15 Landing Sydney Airport




After the customs, according to Way out indicators go out, and then find jacky. Jacky is Mike intro.





We went to a nearby Allianz Stadium take photos, after eating some food to go out into the Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Whole Queensland in Australia only allowed to hold Koala's Island. Although it may hold in the Gold Coast and it photographed, but should be charged~

And then climb some Internet blog, know Featherdale Wildlife Park is no charge for you and take your photograph Koala far enough, just can not hold it, but want to take photos of Kaola can come over here. Featherdale Wildlife Park gate fee is 20AUD.



Buy a ticket, and then will get there Passport. Each had a can seal.





















Koala is nice touch and the fur quite thick, although the fur feels thorn, but quite comfortable


 Reluctant to leave those Kaola. How cute are them.


After Kaola, next station is Kangaroo..












Next, you will see Wombat. It's look like boars ~ ~ no tails got bag bear family feeding animals, is one of Australia's endangered species.

Wombat walking is very cute,
Ass will always squirmy.



After is goat, pig, duck and those normal animal that we can see normally.













White kangaroo is quite rarely to meet it. 

snake bone 

Dingo (Australia Wild Dogs)
Dingo is offensive, feeling a bit like the wolf






Originally Featherdale Wildlife Park is to the Blue Mountains, but something happened so we only changed the urban areas around town.


Final decision go QVB walk around.



Superior hotel is a bit like it? In fact, this is a very old department store.


QVB full name  Queen Victoria Building
Designer George McRae, built in 1898,
Was originally to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Queen ascended the throne built originally as a market, and now it is fine department stores.

QVB retains the appearance of the nineteenth-century, the integration of the Roman Byzantine style dome, classical and grand, like a museum;
Ornate interior, atrium-style clock hanging two claims to be the world's largest bell, delicate and beautiful styling murder a lot of film,
Even the Roman tiles underfoot geometry is also full of retro atmosphere!


First floor of QVB



Second floor of QVB
Like the old staircase, like in the movie can be seen. Nostalgic, mysterious and full of fantasy.
Retro flavor elevator
See so retro styling of course, to take an elevator ride to see


Overlooking Elevator

Top floor is selling children's products and artwork, the sale of souvenirs



The Royal Clock - medieval castle shape of a bell.

I like this staircase, feeling particularly romantic. I looked up for a long time, do not see the stairs lead to the top where to go, is not what the Chamber of Secrets?
Back ladder carved railings


Look at that face painted window!
Here any corner have been carefully designed, all very suitable for taking pictures











Another bell :The Great Australian Clock


Gorgeous styling than the other

In addition to the basic functions of date and time, the top decoration also tells the history of Australia.




Toilets not only clean, very colorful decoration




Exterior

In Australia, the building can often see the color rendering of warm fawn,
This is due to the use of Australian native sandstone building materials <sand stone> made,
The QVB appearance also is warm sandstone colors.




QVB other direction

Background is a new building, even if the floor is not much, but QVB classic look gorgeous on the momentum, but no less significant.




Byzantine domes and delicate carved
 The final step is to go to the hotel check in and then drop our luggage, and then go out looking for dinner slightly ~ ~
5 dishes and 1 soup,each person 20AUD.











Back to hotel, selfie/groupfie is the only thing to do while boring
