Highly recommended
Eureka Skydeck Ticket in Melbourne
The scenery is so beautiful! It is recommended that you can go around after dinner recently, because the sunset time in Melbourne in summer is about 8:30, and you have to wait a long time to go early. It’s okay to go by around 7:30, and you can see Melbourne during the day, sunset, and Melbourne with lights at night.

Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) Express Transfers by SkyBus
As soon as you exit the lobby on the first floor of the airport, go to the right and follow the crowd to find the skybus boarding point. You can directly show the mobile phone barcode for the staff to scan, which is very convenient! Because skybus travels to and from the airport, there is an area to enlarge luggage, and there is a lot of space. About 30 minutes to the city, get off at the indoor platform of Southern Cross Station.

Skydive Melbourne Summer19
Shattering! Mom, I finally succeeded in challenging the altitude of five thousand feet. The door opened and I fell out of the fruit. I have forgotten the heartbeat of just ten minutes. After free fall, I slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery under my feet for 10 minutes in the air. Plan to jump at that point next time😆
