    If you’re an adrenaline junkie like me, Warner Bros. Movie World is a dream! The Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster stole my heart—dark, thrilling, and packed with surprises that had me laughing and screaming all at once. The whole park blends movie magic with epic rides, making it the perfect spot for thrill-seekers and film fans alike. Arrive early, wear comfy shoes, and ride Scooby twice—it’s that good!

    In the park, you can come into contact with various common Australian animals. In addition to free performances, you can also pay to hug koalas and feed kangaroos, etc. It is suitable for a family visit.

    Paradise Farm is a treasure trove for experiencing the Australian countryside! As soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the natural scent of hay and soil. The fluffy sheep, cute kangaroos and emus are wandering on the grass, which is very immersive. The most important thing you can't miss is the wool shearing performance! The farm workers skillfully "transform" the sheep. After the fluffy thick hair is shed, the sheep instantly becomes "skinny". You can also touch the wool on the spot, which is soft and healing. There is also a sheepdog show, where the dogs flexibly shuttle among the sheep, which is super smart! By the way, you can also feed the kangaroos by hand. They look super cute holding the feed bags. Remember to touch their backs gently. There is also a traditional Billy Tea brewing performance in the farm. Tea is boiled on the campfire with a tin kettle and paired with Australian toast. One bite is the authentic country taste. If you want to take photos, put on the cowboy clothes provided by the farm, stand in front of the red barn, and take photos that look like a western movie in minutes. It is a great place to immerse yourself in the Australian farming and pastoral life.

    My snorkeling trip to Mooree’s Reef was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we set off, everything was perfectly organized and well thought out. The crew was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about the reef, making the entire experience both fun and educational.The reef itself is an underwater wonderland! The water was so clear that we could see the vibrant corals and marine life in vivid detail. Swimming among the colorful fish, rays, and even spotting a gentle sea turtle was a surreal and unforgettable experience. The diversity of marine life at Mooree’s Reef is truly remarkable and a testament to how well it’s preserved.The guides went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time, providing high-quality gear and thorough instructions for beginners.

    I recommend the amphibious rides; the driver is very funny and will introduce you to the tropical plants in the area. I was lucky enough to see a Ulysses butterfly. You can also try out the boomerang experience by joining the indigenous activities. At the reception, staff will help you with the arrangements based on your ticket's entry time, informing you of the arrival time for each activity. Don't worry, just follow the schedule.

    5 stars for the degree of enjoyment and 5 stars for the degree of excitement. Try to avoid weekends and holidays, as the queues under the sun are too long. If you go in the morning, it is recommended to grab a good position in the surfing pool after arriving. There is a row of lounge chairs on the shore.
