The first three chapters are love
James Canyon (Ja Fans Alley) was broken up by their battle. The Gundonggula Tribal Council is a non-profit organization. Since 1995, they have been working hard to ask for the territory of their ancestors, and they even made a virtual video on the website.
To this day, traces left by indigenous ancestors can still be seen in many places on the Blue Mountains. Blue was originally the most important coal mining center during the Australian colonial period. It can be seen everywhere in the Blue Mountains but traces left by coal mining. Including the famous small train in Blue Mountains, it was an important tool for personnel transportation at that time, but it has been re-improved.
It also created a world record of the steepest train track in the world, with a height of 51 degrees. Although it is not as thrilling as a roller coaster, it still makes people feel a little nervous. The staff of Blue Mountain are all very handsome! (Please forgive Yun Luo for being a flower-in-law, I can't help but put a few pictures).
Early in the morning, after breakfast, the group went to Sydney's Olympic Sports Park. With the morning light, we walked along the way. Even through the car windows, the beautiful scenery remained unabated. Many people don't like to travel in the car and think it's a waste of time, but Yunluo feels that if you appreciate it carefully, you can find beautiful scenery everywhere.
Now, through the car windows, you can discover the beauty of the city while moving forward quickly. Sydney Olympic Park (also translated as Sydney Olympic Park) covers an area of 640 hectares and is adjacent to the suburbs of homebushbay in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is the venue for the 200f0 Sydney Olympics. It is currently used to organize various sports and cultural activities.
We are trying to find the names of Chinese athletes... It was already noon after leaving Olympic Sports Park. Today's lunch, haha, I'm very happy to think about it because I'm going to eat seafood! Sydney Fish Market is the largest fish market in Sydney and even Australia that integrates wholesale, retail and catering. It is also a good place for citizens to enjoy and purchase seafood.
There are various seafood restaurants with unique characteristics in the market, including Chinese, Western and Japanese seafood delicacies. The main sources of customers in the market are concentrated in the doorstep of the chris stie’s and peter’s. The various seafood products in the store’s cooked food stalls are in front of you, including deep-sea lobsters, whole plump salmon, huge emperor crabs, glittering prawns, fresh oysters...
There are a wide range of barbecue, sashimi, fried, steamed, and stir-fried garlic... with a variety of unique cooking techniques that are mouth-watering. In addition to instantly savoring rich food, tourists can also buy seafood at the dazzling array of fresh fish. The fresh seafood they bought will be handed over to the chef of the cooked food department and according to their own taste requirements.
Cook it into a seafood meal with rich and umami flavor. Visitors can also buy bottles of wine from the shop next to them, go to the open-air dining seat by the harbor, enjoy the sea view while tasting delicious food, which has a unique flavor. There are also bread and snack shops, large fruit supermarkets, wine stores, etc. in the market, and tourists can purchase their favorite foods as they like.
In addition to tasting the craftsmanship of famous chefs and enjoying a special seafood meal, tourists can also learn exquisite cooking skills. Visitors can learn how to cook seafood dishes from various countries such as Japan, Italy, and Thailand at the Sydney Seafood Cooking School in the fish market, and try their skills. They can personally prepare a seafood banquet. Sydney Fish Market is a paradise for seafood cuisine!
Filling his stomach, Yunluo and An Chu met and set out for Bondi Beach. The name of Bondi Beach comes from the indigenous language Bondi, which means the sound of the sea water hitting the shore. Bondi Beach (pronounced: ‘Bondi’withalongi sounds like “Bondi”) is 1 kilometer long, although it is just a beach-based town.
However, it is Australia's historic surfing and sports center and a traditional surfing life-saving training base. Walk along the Bondi to Coogee's cliff viewing road. You can hang out slowly, swim, and have a cup of coffee in the cafe. If you want to know how locals enjoy life, the best way is to go to Bondi Beach.
Its original name means "the noise of tides", which is aptly describes the beach, whether in summer or winter. It is the essence of Sydney. Life on the beach is very comfortable. It is also an excellent place for sunbathing and surfing in summer. Visitors can also watch a carnival here.
With the afterglow, the sunshine beach saysgoodbye. When I returned to downtown Sydney, I still had some time to visit the Royal Botanical Garden of Sydney. The Botanical Garden is free to open, and citizens and tourists can rest and exercise here. The Royal Botanical Garden of Sydney was originally Australia's first farm, close to the Sydney Opera House and the central business district.
It was established in 1816 under the auspices of the then Governor Macqua Rie. Since the local suitable climatic conditions were very conducive to the collection of plants in the botanical garden, the hometown collected and displayed more than 7,000 tropical and subtropical plants, many of which were introduced from abroad during the colonial period, such as citrus, and some were inspected and introduced in China and the Pacific region.
Some even came through seed exchange during the first farm period of the Botanical Garden. Plant signs provide historical information about plants, and the characteristic park is a portrayal of the history of the Botanical Garden. The main buildings and facilities in the garden include: palace garden, palm garden, fern area, first farm, lowland garden, exhibition greenhouse.
The National Specimen Museum of South Wales attracts a large number of tourists every year. Yunluo and An first meet in Sydney in mid-September. It is spring, and the greenery is everywhere, with flowers competing for beauty.
Today's theme is carnival. Shopping in the morning, yacht party in the afternoon, and dinner at the Luna Park in the evening. Such a day is exciting! Women are born to be a shopaholic. When it comes to shopping, it is like getting rid of chicken blood. There are already several shopping stops on the itinerary, but unfortunately, prices in Australia are indeed a bit high.
In addition, there seemed to be a terrorist organization in Sydney during this period, Yunluo and Anchu were helplessly shelved and could only stroll around the hotel. They got up early in the morning and went to the Lover Port for a walk. Although the temperature difference between morning and evening in Sydney during the Spring Festival is still relatively large, the bright sunshine in the morning added a little warmth.
Today's first stop is the Victoria Building (Quee ICTO Abuilding, abbreviated as qvb) located on the busiest George Street in the heart of Sydney. This building with a dome-shaped Roman structure was completed in 1898. The Queen Victoria Building is a shopping mall for Australians.
It is a good place for leisure, a witness to history, and a pride of Australians. The famous fashion designer Pier Cardin praised it as "the most beautiful shopping center in the world". It was originally used as a market and office. The building itself began to collapse in the 1960s and 1970s.
There was originally a plan to demolish this extraordinary historical monument to build a municipal center and an underground parking lot. Fortunately, the careful restoration work turned the 7-story building into a historic tourist spot and a beautiful shopping center. Its top is a glass dome. The 200-meter-long building occupies the entire block and has more than 180 shops.
The cafe and restaurant, the fronts of the four main floors are elegant Victorian-style shops. Although the qvb building is named after Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria has never visited it. In the past 100 years, the only queen who has actually visited the qvb building is the current Queen Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth II left a mysterious letter about the building in 1986, but she told the mayor of Sydney that the letter would not be made public until 2085. The two large clocks in the qvb building are very distinctive. A clock on the south side is said to have been built in 1986 by craftsmen who designed clocks and watches for the British royal family.
The clock is a model that imitates the Belmore Castle in Scotland, which is the favorite resort of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The clock will play music doll show at the right moment. Another giant clock was made by local craftsmen in Sydney in 2000. It is the largest hanging bell in the southern hemisphere, and it tells the time every half minute.
The double-decker tourist bus in downtown Sydney was on QVB. Yunluo realized the high prices in Sydney. After going around, he bought two Opal necklace pendants and several bags of handmade chocolate. As for the wool scarf and hat I had, I was really uneasy! Lunch time is so important for a foodie!
Cyren is a seafood restaurant located in Lover Harbor. Eat delicious food all the time and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lover Harbor. The delicious food scene is really a perfect match! After lunch, it is the yacht party that Yunluo and An Chu met. Take a yacht around Sydney Bay and you can enjoy the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge from all angles. The cruise ship stops at Lunapark Pier.
Yunluo and An Chuhui dinner is held. Sydney Lunapark is located in the north of Sydney Harbour and is built at the foot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It opened in 1935. It is a collective childhood memory of Sydney people. It is the most popular amusement park in Sydney. Its classic slogan is "justforfun".
The purpose is to allow people of all ages to enjoy excitement and entertainment. "It's right to bring children to Luna Park, and it's also wise to bring lovers." This shows how charming the Luna Park is. No matter who will find your own entertainment space here. The best time to play Luna Park is from evening to sunset, and is decorated with various lights.
Presenting to tourists is a fairy tale world with colorful lanterns, and the pleasant environment pushes the joyful atmosphere. The logo of Sydney Luna Park is the smiling gate, 9 meters wide, very festive, and should be intended to welcome visitors from all directions. The park has a variety of entertainment projects, such as roller coasters, carousels, space shuttles, and magic castles.
The mouse is also crazy, electric bumper cars, scarabs, Ferris wheels, etc., allowing you to enjoy the most exciting entertainment projects. Luna Park is a gift from the Sydney Harbour Bridge Construction Company to the people of Sydney, because this park was built with remaining steel after the Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed.
The cost of the entire itinerary is 12,600 yuan. Because it is a group tour, not an ordinary tour tour, the specific itinerary cost is not very accurate. However, many attractions in Sydney are open for free, such as the Royal Botanical Garden, beaches, art galleries, churches, etc. The consumption level in Sydney is much higher than that in China, to be more specific.
Many things, multiplying the domestic price by the exchange rate is the price in Australia. I thought it would be much cheaper to buy wool products in Australia, especially those like ugg, cashmere scarves, hats, etc., but after I arrived, I found that it was still very expensive, and a pair of ugg costs nearly a thousand yuan. Cashmere wool products are even more.
Especially alpaca products, there are 700 to 800 yuan per hat. I originally planned to go to the wool market, but unfortunately, when Yunluo and An Chu met, they caught up with the Sydney terrorist activities and the like. The company was worried about the safety of Yunluo and An Chu met, so they usually did not let Yunluo and An Chu meet their own activities at night, or went too far.
There is no way. I can only buy a few items in the duty-free shop on the last day. If you choose a gift, sheep oil is a good choice. It is very remote. A bottle of RMB is less than 20 yuan. It is very good to bring it to colleagues when I come back. In addition to wool products, Australia also has a very famous Opal. The first one in the picture below was bought at the Queen Victoria Building.
The price after discount is 99 Australian dollars, and the following one is more expensive. It was bought at the airport duty-free shop, which costs nearly 200 Australian dollars. In addition to sheep oil, Opal also bought a lot of gadgets. For example, papaya oil (which is said to be very effective for scalds and acne scars), and 35 Australian dollars, just spend the change coins in your hand, because Australian dollars are not circulated in China.
When you return to China, you cannot convert it into RMB. If you have a lot of coins in your hand when you travel to Australia, you won’t buy some such small things. The hotel where Yunluo and Anchu stayed is Novotel Sydney Darling Harbor. This hotel is very expensive. When you come back, you check it online and you will find it costs more than RMB 1,000 a night. However, the facilities and accommodation conditions are not much. The bed is very comfortable.
In addition, it is particularly important to mention that the Sydney hotel elevators are based on the floor. Many hotels in China are the same. However, this is very inconvenient for people who come out in groups in Yunluo and An Chu. Without a card, you can't go to the door. The fire escape can only go out but not in. Unless someone helps you open the door, you will be trapped in the stairwell.
Yunluo is almost in the stairwell! There are many Chinese in Sydney, so you don’t have to worry too much about language issues, especially shopping and restaurants. There are basically Chinese people. However, in the fish market, there are not many people who can speak Chinese. The temperature difference between Yunluo and Anchu was quite large in the morning and evening, and they are all wearing clothes in summer and spring and autumn.
Sydney's city is very clean. The road and transportation industry is very orderly. Pedestrians generally do not cross the road randomly, so Sydney drivers drive very fast because they don't think anyone will suddenly walk out. When passing through Sydney, press the button under the traffic light post on the roadside, otherwise you will never wait for the green light to turn on.
Yunluo and An Chuyu had a friend in Melbourne. After arriving in Melbourne, his friend drove Yunluo and An Chuyu directly to the Great Ocean Road. The traffic in Australia is driven on the left, which is opposite to the mainland of China. You must first look at the right →→ when crossing the road. The local trucks are very beautiful, just like Transformers, much more beautiful than those in China!
At noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu passed by a town called colac for lunch and ordered McDonald's. The taste was similar to that of China. Continue to drive to the Great Ocean Road, where the coastal roads are very beautiful. Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the Twelve Disciples. There is a map at the door, indicating various locations such as parking lots and toilets.
After walking a short distance, I finally saw the legendary twelve disciples, but now only 7 are left. There are two more here. Yun Luo and An Chuyu continued to drive back and headed to Geelong. On the way, everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery, and suddenly saw a wild koala crossing the road.
Yunluo and An Chuyu quickly stopped the car to take pictures of it. Koala said she was a little panicked when she saw Yunluo and An Chuyu. She quickly climbed to the side of the road and began to think about how to go. Yunluo and An Chuyu followed it all the way to take pictures. It is said that Koala has to sleep for 17-20 hours a day, and when she is awake, she will spend half of her time thinking about what to do next.
Koala finally ran away in a hurry and climbed 2 meters in half a minute. Yunluo and An Chuyu saw it climbing up a tree and stopped moving. Maybe they were sleeping. Along the way later, Yunluo and An Chuyu both regretted it very much, regretting not picking up the Koala. This was a very rare opportunity.
An Australian friend said that this is the first time he has seen a wild koala in Australia for more than ten years. He continued to move forward, and it was getting late, but the Great Ocean Road is still very beautiful. They are also coastal highways. I don’t know which is better, Highway 1 in the United States and Great Ocean Road in Australia. Let’s compare it when you have the opportunity to open Highway 1 in the future.
Back in Geelong in the evening, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to a pizza restaurant for dinner. The decoration of this store was very unique. That night, Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in a large house in Queenscliff called Bo nsaibeachhou. This is a large house with 3 bedrooms.
For more information about this house, Yunluo will explain in detail in the later part. Since he spent the night before on the plane and there was still a 2-hour jet lag here, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to bed early and were preparing to continue tomorrow. The trip to Australia has just begun.
Queenscliff-Sorrento-Phillip Island-Churchhillisland Today, Yunluo and Anchu met to the port of Queenscliff, took the ferry to Sorrento, and then drove to Churchillisland to visit the Australian farm.
Go to Philipsland to see the little penguins at night and then go back to Melbourne. Reference map for driving routes: Philipsland is a resort famous for its fairy little penguins. On the summerland beach to the southwest of the island, there are many of the smallest people in the world. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
