Central Coast

A large comprehensive theatrical performance center in Sydney, Australia, which is world-famous for its unique architectural image. It is built on a section of Sydney Harbor that extends into the sea. It faces water on three sides: east, west and north, and faces the Botanic Gardens on the south.

Sydney Opera House

Sydney held an international architectural design competition in 1955 to build this opera house, and the design of Danish architect J. Utzon was selected from 233 plans. In 1966, Utzon resigned as chief architect of the theater, and the remaining interior design was completed by Australian architects. The opera house broke ground in 1959 and was completed in 1973.

The Sydney Opera House has a total construction area of ??88,258 square meters, including a large concert hall with 2,690 seats, an opera hall with 1,547 seats, a theater with a capacity of more than 500 people, and a small concert hall. In addition, it also has a rehearsal hall, reception hall, exhibition hall, recording hall, drama library and various ancillary rooms (such as restaurants, sales departments, etc.), with more than 900 rooms and can accommodate more than 6,000 people at the same time. activities in it.

The appearance of the Sydney Opera House is three sets of huge shells, standing on a base of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure that is 186 meters long from north to south and 97 meters wide at the widest point from east to west. The first group of shells is on the west side of the lot. Four pairs of shells are arranged in series, three pairs face north and one pair faces south. Inside is a large concert hall. The second group is on the east side of the lot, roughly parallel to the first group, with the same form but slightly smaller scale. Inside is the opera hall. The third group, to the southwest of them, is the smallest, consisting of two pairs of shells, and contains the dining room. The other rooms are cleverly arranged within the plinth. The entrance to the entire building complex is at the south end, with a large step 97 meters wide. Vehicle entrance and parking are located under large steps.

Utzon’s proposal for the design competition was too simple, and later he encountered a series of complex and difficult technical issues during the project. For example, it was originally imagined that those huge shells were reinforced concrete shell structures. After in-depth research, it was discovered that each shell could only be divided into strips of reinforced concrete ribs, and then prefabricated in sections before being assembled into a whole. In order to reduce the difficulty of construction, all the shell pieces were changed to the same curvature, so that each shell piece is equivalent to part of the surface of an imaginary sphere with a radius of 76 meters. It took 8 years to research and design the structure of these shells, and more than 3 years of construction. The project budget was US$7 million, with actual costs reaching US$120 million.

The Sydney Opera House is well-equipped and has excellent performance. It is a successful building for music and drama performances. Those huge groups of white shells on the water's edge are like sails on the sea, and like clusters of blooming flowers. Against the backdrop of blue sky, blue sea and green trees, they are graceful, light and bright. The building has come to be regarded as an icon for the city of Sydney.

Detailed data on Australia's per capita consumption level

Sydney

Utility bills:

Sydney's electricity and water bills are collected on a quarterly basis. It costs about 145, and the water fee is about 110.

Because Sydney has a relatively moderate climate, air conditioning is only needed for a few days in winter and summer. This saves a lot on electricity bills. However, the gas bill is included in the electricity bill, so it is still very cheap. .

The water consumption is relatively large. At least take a bath every morning and evening, and take a bath twice a week. The water consumption should be quite large. On average, the monthly water, electricity and gas bills are about 90.

Communication fee:

The monthly mobile phone fee is 60 yuan, which allows you to make 600 minutes of calls, unlimited text messages, no roaming fees, and no answering fees.

The monthly fixed charge for the landline at home is 30 yuan, and other call charges are additional.

The Internet fee is 50 yuan per month, and the broadband is 36G. There is also 120G for 80 yuan.

Transportation costs:

Inner city transportation mainly relies on self-driving and bus transportation. Because parking spaces in urban areas are very expensive, I usually take the bus to work. Sydney's public transportation is very developed, and there are many types of public transportation cards.

A red season card can be used by trains, buses and ferries within a specified area, and can be used unlimited times. This kind of quarterly card costs NT$418 each. With this card, you can cover six transportation zones in Sydney. It is very convenient, especially for ferries, which is equivalent to taking a cruise on Sydney Harbor.

Car maintenance costs:

It is very cheap to own a car in Sydney, and the insurance premium is very low. Full insurance for a 7-seater Toyota is only about 1,700 yuan a year, the registration fee is about 300 yuan, and the car inspection is 30 yuan. about.

Not to mention the cost of gasoline. Although it is more expensive than the United States, it is much cheaper than Beijing. The Toyota's fuel tank has a capacity of 75 liters. A full tank of fuel never exceeds 80 yuan, even though fuel prices often fluctuate. Due to the good quality of the oil and the sufficient quantity, this tank of oil can basically run one round trip back to Canberra.

Travel, vacation and leisure life:

Flying in Australia is really cheap. If you fly from Sydney to Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Hobart, if you take a JETSTAR flight, the discount ticket is generally about 79 yuan, and if it is a promotional ticket, it only costs 49 yuan, sometimes 39 yuan. VERGINBLUE will be slightly more expensive, QANTAS is the highest, which is around 90. Because travel costs are low, Australians travel in large numbers.

Australia’s tourist attractions basically charge no fees. All national parks do not charge admission fees except for parking fees. The parking fee is 10 yuan and there is no time limit.

All beaches in Australia are free of charge, but there is a fee for swimming pools, which is 6 yuan each time, with no time limit.

The badminton court in the city’s gymnasium costs 10 yuan per hour, and the basketball court costs 15 yuan per hour.

The golf course charges 45 yuan per person (MOORE PARK has 9 holes, it may be cheaper than this if you go to the countryside).

Spare time expenses in Sydney include watching movies and performances. Watching movies here is not too expensive. Any movie, no matter whether it is a blockbuster or a small movie, the first round of the show costs 17 yuan in the evening and 12 yuan in the daytime. It's 7 yuan on a certain day of the week, and it varies from theater to theater.

The ticket price of the Sydney Opera House is much higher than that of a movie (still lower than that in China). For an opera or ballet, a Category B ticket is between 70-90, and a Category A ticket is about 120.

Tickets for concerts here are only between 40 and 100 yuan, especially if you come from China, the ticket price is basically between 30 and 80.

Clothing:

In terms of clothing, most things are produced in China. A pure wool suit is 210 yuan, and trousers are about 70 yuan.

If it is not a famous brand, clothes in Sydney rarely cost more than 100, and about 30-50 is more common.

So, during the discount season, people who buy clothes tend to buy more than a few pieces, just like we buy groceries.

Daily necessities:

Daily chemical products are even cheaper. L'Oréal's hair dye set costs less than 20 yuan, and shampoo and hair care products such as Pantene and Vassoon cost around 10 yuan, and the quality is obviously better than in China.

Laundry powder and laundry detergent are basically less than 10 yuan, about 5-6 yuan.

Kitchen dish soap and grease remover basically cost a few yuan a bottle.

You can buy a large pack of toilet paper, toilet cleaning liquid, fragrance, etc. needed in the toilet for less than 50 yuan.

A good sunscreen usually only costs about 20 yuan.

Food:

When it comes to eating, the differences are more obvious and the feelings are deeper. Supermarkets in Australia have discounts all year round, and there are items on sale every week. The discount prices are as follows:

Chicken in a suit: about 10 yuan

Beef and mutton chops: 7 yuan/kg< /p>

Chicken legs and wings: 2.5 yuan/kg

Pork filling: 10 yuan/2kg (if you only buy one kilogram, the price will be higher and there is no moisture at all)

Pork with skin (like the tip of the hip in Beijing): 6.5 yuan/kg

Eggs: 2.7 yuan/1 dozen (700g)

Fish (blind Cao): 15 yuan/kg

Shrimp: 21 yuan/kg (only 7 yuan/kg if discounted in supermarket)

Salmon (sashimi): 45 yuan/kg

Seafood mix (small cuttlefish, squid, shrimp, small scallops): 9 yuan/pack

Laoganma chili sauce only sells for more than one yuan here, but may cost 7-8 in China Yuan Bar

I haven’t paid special attention to the prices of other dishes. Overall, I feel that they are much more expensive than in the United States, but they are still cheaper than in China.

Special notice: The Sydney Tower Revolving Restaurant has a buffet. If you book through a travel agency at noon, it only costs 40 yuan per person. It was only 36 yuan per person some time ago and 68 yuan per person in the evening. The buffet includes: oysters (the famous Sydney oysters), prawns, roast beef, lamb, kangaroo meat, as well as other hot and cold dishes, ice cream, and cakes. Eating here is very worthwhile, not only for the delicious food, but also for the beautiful scenery. The air quality in Sydney is particularly good. Not only can you see the entire bay and city views, but you can also see the Blue Mountains dozens of kilometers away.

Canberra

Found one The expenses of ordinary Chinese international students in Canberra are for reference only:

Rent:

The biggest expense is living in the dormitories provided by the school, which costs 120 Australian dollars per week.

The advantages of student dormitories are: free water and electricity, close to the school, you can also take time to come back at noon to eat or take a nap, there is basically no need to bring your own computer, there is basically no need to pay for transportation, etc.

Food:

Generally speaking, students are unlikely to have time to carefully prepare every meal, so cooking several meals at a time is inevitable. The quality of this kind of food is not high, so there is no practical significance in investing too much. Simply put, about 40-45 yuan per week is enough. If you are really greedy, go to a Chinese restaurant for a delicious meal. The cost is between 10 and 20 yuan, but it is still affordable occasionally.

Telephone charges:

When you are away from home, calling home is essential, especially for those who have a family and a family. Calls back home are billed in two parts. Local access fee and international call fee. Local calls are exclusively operated by TELSTRA, but they are not expensive. An unlimited time system is adopted. When you pick up the phone, you pay the same price for one minute as for 24 hours. All international calls use IP cards, which are incredibly cheap. The latest card costs 2.5 Australian cents per minute, which is less than RMB 1.5 cents.

Haircut:

If you don’t want to be a rock singer, you must get your haircut on time. There are two ways. One is to help each other. But my skills are limited, but it is affordable. When you go to a barber shop, the price is quite considerable. I found a barber in Hong Kong and it cost 17 yuan each time. It is said that there are cheaper ones.

Cigarettes:

Smoking is a huge expense in Australia, especially for students. There are many ways to buy cheap cigarettes, but overall they are still not cheap. One pack per day, at least 4 yuan per pack.

Canberra is not big and there are not many places to spend money. If you can integrate into the circle of foreigners, you can have a drink or dance, and you can add 15 yuan to your weekly expenses.

This expense list is only applicable to civilian children. In Canberra, it's easy to spend money if you want to, and it's easy to spend money if you don't want to.

Brisbane

Consumption in Brisbane is almost 30% lower than in Sydney and Melbourne

The average couple spends about 80 Australian dollars in supermarkets every week. The room rate is 150 Australian dollars per week. If you work part-time, the Chinese store will pay at least 8 Australian dollars per hour.

Food:

The cheapest milk is more than 2 yuan for 2L, and orange juice is also the same price.

Fruits: oranges and apples are the cheapest at 1.5 yuan per kilogram, and other fruits are basically more than 3 yuan.

500 grams of beef costs 4 to 5 yuan.

Vegetables and meat are about the same price.

2 pounds of rice is 1.5 yuan.

50 yuan a week is enough for you.

Bus fare:

The bus trip is 2 yuan. It is a district. You can buy a weekly ticket for about 20 per week, and the student ticket is half price.

Bus may be the first choice for students to go out, and many of them drive their own cars, but the gas price is very high (the gas price is the lowest on two nights a week, and you can get one if you buy over 30 yuan at Coles or Woolworth) coupon, if you go to a designated gas station to refuel, it will be 1l cheaper (4c). In Brisbane, you buy a ticket and you can take buses, trains and boats at the same time. The ticket prices are divided according to zones, and they are also different according to different times. There is single (one way, you can change the same direction within 2 hours, any different train times), offpeakdaily (available from 9 a.m. to 3:29 p.m., after 6 p.m., off peak all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays), daily (you can ride at any time every day), of course all of these are If you are in the same zone, you need to buy separate tickets or make up tickets in different zones.

Telephone fee:

Mobile phone card costs 25 to 30 yuan a month.

As for mobile phones, you can just bring them from China. Just buy a card and you can use it. The big operators include OPTUS, TELSTRA, VODAFONE and 3G. Most Chinese students will use OPTUS. If you If the visa period is long enough (more than 24 months), you can also go to the stores of these operators to sign a mobile phone, which may be more cost-effective. It is free to make calls in Australia, and there is no roaming fee for nationwide roaming. There is no money in the phone card. It will not be shut down and you can still answer calls. By the way, optus is also available in Singapore. Mobile phone activation is different from that in China. After you get the card, you don’t have a phone number yet. You have to go online or call to confirm. It means giving an address and name. Personally, I think online is better because most of the people who answer the phone are Indians. It sounds too laborious. You will receive a text message informing you of your mobile phone number within 24 hours after confirmation.

Network:

If the house you rent does not have internet, you may have to activate the internet. Most fixed-line phone users in Australia use Telstra (Telstra), so many people also use broadband. I use Telstra, but my family has always used TPG, which has a very fast speed of 10m, but it also uses the Telstra port, so the waiting time will be slower than installing Telstra. Australia's broadband has traffic limits, such as 10G per month, 30G per month. The price is different depending on your monthly traffic. If the traffic is too high, your home network speed will be extremely slow and you will have to wait until next month. The speed will only increase when the traffic returns, so downloads should not be too powerful.

Supermarket:

The two largest supermarkets in Brisbane, and also the two largest in Australia, are COLES and WOOLWORTH. Different items are on sale every week, and every day Before closing, some cakes, breads and roast chickens will be on sale. Generally, Chinese people like to go to Chinatown and SUNNYBANK to buy food. The prices will be cheaper, and most of the food that can be bought in China are available there. There are two in Chinatown. There are two relatively famous supermarkets, one is Bailington Supermarket, and there is Bailington Butcher's next door. The pork there has no taste, and the sausages are the cheapest, only 5 yuan and 8 Australian dollars a bag. There is also Yuan's Shop. Personally, I think Bailing The store is relatively clean, but the prices at Yuan's Store are relatively low. Pay special attention to the production date as Yuan's Store often sells expired items.

The one that sells meat is COCO'S. There is also a vegetable and fruit shop in front of Coco's. The eggs are cheap and good, so I buy them often! It is relatively cheaper to buy them yourself, but eating out is still more expensive. There is a market at the west end every Saturday at 6 am. Fruits and vegetables are relatively cheap. Brisbane Market is open at 6 am every week. There are large wholesales and the prices are very cheap. You can go with a few friends, but it is best to have a car. They are not very expensive and should be affordable.

Haircut:

It is relatively expensive. Boys usually pay 20 Australian dollars a time, and girls will pay more. Haircuts and shampoos are charged separately, so haircuts are generally It is best to wash your hair at home beforehand. There is a Korean-owned one in the city, which is cheap and good.

Seeing a doctor:

You need to make an appointment to see a doctor. If you have an emergency, go directly to the hospital. If you are a student, you should have bought medical insurance before entering the country, so you don’t have to worry about spending money. After reading the money, take the bill to the school and they will reimburse you. However, the insurance does not cover dental and eye care. The specific matters should be listed in the brochure sent to you. Seeing a doctor and buying medicines are separate. You can buy medicines in general drugstores. There are over-the-counter medicines and prescription medicines. I personally recommend preparing some medicines before going, such as cold medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, anti-allergy medicines, etc. You only need to declare when entering the country. That's fine, don't bring any Chinese medicine (here I mean the kind of Chinese medicine you want to cook).

Recommended restaurants:

There is a barbecue restaurant next to Yuan's Shop in Chinatown. The braised meat and barbecue are both delicious, and there are also wontons, but they are only open every day. 3pm. There is also a Thai restaurant in Chinatown that is good, and there is a Taiwanese-owned restaurant next door. The pearl milk tea and laksa are very delicious and relatively cheap. There is a small alley next to the commonwealth in the city. There is a shop with pearl milk tea that is also delicious and much cheaper than the leisure station. There are two famous Korean restaurants in the city. One is a Korean restaurant on Queen Street. It opens very late every day and closes on Tuesday every week (it seems so, I can’t remember). The other one is on Elizabeth Street and serves barbecue. Speaking of barbecue, there is also a self-service barbecue restaurant in Chinatown, but it is a little far away from China Town. There are many kinds of meat, but there is only one kind of fruit, which is orange. The most famous thing about the buffet restaurant is the sizzler. I don't like it very much because it's all salads and fruits. There are also steaks, so I need to order them separately. There is a Chinese-owned buffet in the food court of Sunnybank Plaza. It has a lot of food and seafood on weekends. The taste is pretty good. In the city, go through the food court on Elizabeth Street and turn left. There is a Vietnamese rice noodle shop opposite the festival tower. Although it is not as delicious as the one in Sunnybank, it is not bad. It can satisfy your craving for a while. There is nando's on the upper floor of the festival tower. This is a roast chicken restaurant with unique flavor. If you like tea, Jinmanlou in City Queen Street and Fuyao in Baliping are both good choices.

You can take a free bus at the city's casino entrance, which is the free loop, which goes around Brisbane's CBD. The bus runs every 10-15 minutes from Monday to Friday.

The main shopping street in Brisbane is Queens Street, which has Myer and David Jones, as well as many various specialty stores.

Adelaide

Because of transportation, prices are high, the city is too quiet, there are few places for recreation, and it is relatively lonely, so it is suitable for studying. The weather is extremely hot and cold, similar to Melbourne. , there are very few job opportunities, and it is not suitable for people who do not speak English to survive.

Consumption in Adelaide is mainly spent on food, accommodation, transportation, daily necessities and entertainment.

Latest figures from Economic Magazine show living in Sydney will cost 18% more, Melbourne 17% more and Perth and Brisbane 6% more.

The cost of living is affected by whether you live alone or in shared accommodation, and the location of your residence. Fees will be higher in high-consumption areas such as beaches and city centers.

The following guide is for average weekly basic consumption and daily necessities paid by ordinary students before and after arriving in Australia. All prices are in Australian dollars.

Rent: 100-250

Food: 50-80

Gas and electricity: 15-25

Transportation: 15-20< /p>

Entertainment, clothing: 35-40

Telephone, postage: 20-30

Weekly consumption: 275-445, annual consumption: 14300-22880

Perth

Before coming to Australia, everyone thought that Melbourne, a big city, has high prices. Quite the opposite in fact. After arriving in Melbourne from Perth, I discovered that daily necessities in Melbourne are at least 5-10% cheaper than in Perth. The reason is that there is no industry in Perth (except mining), and almost most things, including food and daily necessities, have to be shipped from the east. Perth's natural distance of 3,500 kilometers from the east coast is the main factor. After all, Perth’s income is high.

House prices and rents are about the same. In terms of transportation costs, Perth is cheaper than Melbourne, especially for students, which is only 1.8 yuan after discount.

What to buy when traveling to Australia_Australia Shopping Guide_

Different people have different hobbies, so their views on things are also inconsistent. Australia is also known as the "Shopping Paradise", and it is not difficult to find the treasures you like there. There are usually large shopping malls, famous shopping streets and flea markets in cities, with a wide variety of products and specialties, such as Australian gemstones, wool products, lanolin, Australian fish oil, honey capsules, etc., and the prices are very favorable and cheap. Australian specialties such as Opal (Australian specialty gemstones), sheepskin, lanolin, Australian wine, animal toys, cowhide, Aboriginal art works, art paintings, etc., as well as Australian seafood products such as abalone, Australian authentic shark gum pills, the price is relatively low The domestic sales are low, but wool quilts, wool felts, wool, sheepskin, leather goods made of kangaroo skin, koala toys, cat's eye stones, etc. are also very popular. The most popular place is Sydney, where you can buy whatever you want at a cheap price. It depends on what you are passionate about. You can buy a lot of things on the Great Barrier Reef, as long as you bring enough name coins, oh no, Australian dollars. Such as gems, opals, diamonds, pearls, etc.; high-end wines produced in vineyards, handicrafts made by indigenous people, suet skin care ointment, a specialty of Australia, wines from the Swan Valley and the Southwest, and sheepskin. Some of the items include dried wild flowers and crocodile meat, as well as cute koala or kangaroo souvenirs and T-shirts. You can find everything here. Cairns, the entrance to the Great Barrier Reef, is also a great place for shopping.
