When I was young, I noticed my mother will try to pray at temples whenever we go travelling. Especially when we are at a new place and there's a temple nearby. With this in mind, going to pray at Nan Tien temple is one of my top priority when I was in Sydney two months ago.
Nan Tien Temple is a Buddhist temple situated in Berkeley, about 10 mins from the famous Wollongong beaches and 80 Km to the south of Sydney. According to Wikipedia, Nan Tien is Chinese for "Southern Heaven Temple", and it is also the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.
Nan Tien Temple is a huge complex, and we have to walk quite a distance uphill to sound the Nan Tien Gratitude Bell.
