Sydney Cetnral Station

2009-12-01T01:09:00.000-08:00

That is Sydney Central Station Again. I think I have been more then 20 times before. But I really love there, that is very elegant. In Melbourne, there is Flinders Street Station which is also a hostical station. However, in Brisbane, they have our Central station at Brisbane city. That is hostical too, has more than a hundred years old. Our Central Station is relative very small with those two stations.

Manly

2009-10-04T02:35:00.000-07:00

I am from Brisbane, we have a number of famous beaches at Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. But I love Manly as well, that is a Sydney famous beach. That is very different from our Queensland beaches. I felt that is a bit european style and there is a beautiful pathway along the beach.

(The weather is not very good, so the photo is not very good as well.)

Moreover, there are a lot of coffee shop at Street Mall near the main beach. I had my lunch at there, I was enjoying the scene of beach and having the tasty fish & chip. In addition, Manly is at a convenient location. You can reach there by ferry at Circular Quay and by bus. Last times, I took a ferry to there around 30 minutes.
Lastly, I recommend you should go to the vistor center which is next to the ferry dock. You should get a map which contains the locations of attractions and restaurants at there.

Epping New Train Line

2009-07-30T03:22:00.000-07:00

During last Easter Holidays, I went to Sydney. I found there is a new train service from Epping to Chatswood. So, I went to try that. This line is completely underground. The stations are completely brand new and trains are brand new too. That is very comfortable and fast, only around 20 minutes from Epping to Chatswood. In the past, the quickest way is keeping a train to Eastwood afterward busing to Chatswood. That is around 45 minutes. Now, that is so quick!

Moreover, I wish the new train service could launch early. I did not need to take a bus to Eastwood and waiting Brothers & Sisters to pick me up to Church.

2009-04-14T02:50:00.000-07:00

Last night, I backed from Sydney. If you are my friends, you will not be surpised about I was in Sydney. Last year, I have spent a lot of time in Sydney for my company. But this times, I came to there for holiday. That's completely different. I slept during the flight, I didn't need to think about the bugs I created. After the landing, I took a few photo, relax. I didn't need to rush to Office. At Sydney again, but my mood was completely different, that was relaxing.
