What makes people feel is not only the magnificence of this magnificent building, but also a kind of sacredness derived from religion. The typical Gothic architecture feels that the cathedral is magnificent and has a sense of history. Stopping at the church makes people feel like they have returned to the Middle Ages in Europe. The cathedral is particularly charming against the backdrop of yellow leaves in autumn. The second stop: Fitzroy Gardens.
Captain Cook's Cottage Autumn Love Song The Fitzroy Garden in autumn is particularly romantic against the backdrop of golden leaves. Captain Cook's Cottage is a real cottage, simple, plain, even rough, with a sloping roof covered with tiles and stone walls. The dark brown color reveals the ancient vicissitudes. James Cook was born in this cottage in Yorkshire, England in 1728.
In 1934, when Melbourne celebrated its 100th anniversary, Sir Russell, a well-known Australian industrialist, bought Captain Cook's former residence in England for 800 pounds and gave it to the citizens of Melbourne as a gift. The house was carefully disassembled, each piece of building material was numbered, and packed into 253 boxes, with a total weight of 150 tons.
It was shipped from England to Melbourne and rebuilt as it was. Visitors outside Captain Cook's cottage are dressed in Captain Cook's clothes in the 18th century, making you feel as if you have traveled back in time to the 18th century in England. The indoor greenhouse of Fitzroy Garden is full of various rare tropical plants, which is beautiful. The angel statue is very cute.
Typical British flower shed. Such beautiful flowers! I don't know what kind they are. Take a photo with the naughty and cute little angel. A beautiful tree curtain. Take a nostalgic photo with Momo Bear in Fitzroy Gardens. After visiting Fitzroy Gardens, we will go to the next famous attraction in Melbourne, the Royal Botanic Gardens. How about Yunluo's new scarf in a new way?
Does she look like an 18th century European lady? There are many old British historical buildings in Melbourne, which are very British in style. It is worthy of being the city where British aristocrats gathered in Australia early on, and it has left many excellent historical buildings for the citizens of Melbourne! The gorgeous European-style buildings and the rich autumn atmosphere of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. The Royal Botanic Gardens was built in 1845.
It is one of the best botanical gardens in Australia. The botanical garden still retains some buildings and features from the last century, and it gathers more than 10,000 kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Since its establishment, the Royal Botanic Gardens has brought together more than 12,000 categories and more than 30,000 species of plants and flowers from all over the world, including all native plants and flowers in Australia.
More than 20,000 exotic plants have been cultivated. Since Melbourne has no frost in winter, almost all types of trees in tropical, subtropical and temperate zones can grow. The herbarium in the park is quite modern and contains more than 1.5 million plant specimens. The park is full of plants and the scenery is pleasant. Birds and people live in harmony in the park!
The birds' lunch has begun. Beautiful black swans! The dachshund brothers and sisters brought by tourists in the park! So cute! The gentleman boatman with a strong British accent rowed a delicate boat to take tourists to the park lake area. After visiting the Royal Botanical Gardens, we prepared to have lunch. In the afternoon, we went to Neverland Manor for dinner. There was the legendary super roasted whole lamb.
The weather in Melbourne feels a bit like that in the UK, which is always gloomy. The oldest Turkish bath building in Melbourne has a long history and now seems to have been converted into a library. Trams shuttle through the Turkish bath building, as if history has returned to the past. The prosperous old city of Melbourne is preparing to take a long journey to the Dream Villa in the suburbs of Melbourne, passing through beautiful country towns and preparing to cross mountains and ridges.
The car looked so tiny under the giant tree! It felt like Yunluo and An Chuyu had entered the Jurassic era. The ferns under the giant tree are said to date back to the Jurassic period of the dinosaur era! The more you go to the suburbs, the more farms you see. This is what we call cattle and sheep everywhere. Seeing the sheep reminded me of the "roasted whole lamb" in the evening.
It's best to have an Australian steak at night. After a 2-hour drive, we finally arrived at the Dream Manor Resort (Stonelea Country Estate) in the Yarra Valley, where Yunluo and An first met. It is about 100 kilometers from Melbourne and nearly an hour's drive away. It covers an area of 400 acres and has 50 Australian-style single-family villas (lakeside wooden houses) and garden rooms.
The hills and lakes in the manor echo each other. The natural and harmonious environment makes Stonelea a home for kangaroos, koalas, parrots and other wild animals! I'm home! Immigrate to Australia and be a happy farmer. The villa room is very cozy and has two beds! Put the suitcases away first and organize the clothes. The bathroom is very large and simple. Not bad!
It's the British Royal Twinings black tea that Yunluo likes. There is a fireplace in the room! Let the hotel waiter light it up at night! It must be very comfortable. The farm is very large, and there are open grasslands nearby. The air is super fresh! There is still an hour before dinner, so let's explore around the farm first! Look for wild kangaroos!
The purple leaves on the grass are so beautiful. The leaves have turned yellow, and the autumn flavor is very strong! It's beautiful like a painting! Haha! The mother duck and her children are lined up in a row, so cute. Finally, I saw wild kangaroos. The one on the left is the father kangaroo, and the one on the right is the mother kangaroo with a baby kangaroo in her arms. The sunset view is breathtaking!
The Australian prairie is so beautiful! Ha! Super big pine cones! Squirrels love them! Don't let them see them! The lake is particularly charming against the backdrop of the sunset. Watching the sunset slowly fall, the scenery is indescribable. Dream Manor is so beautiful! I really want to stay a few more days. Today's farm dinner is about to begin.
Get warm in the cabin and slowly enjoy a glass of Australian red wine. The red wine produced by the Australian winery is named after the mockingbird. The handsome Australian farm guy is very simple! The red wine tastes good. I bought a box and mailed it home. Haha! The highlight of today's dinner is the roasted whole lamb! I am so hungry at first sight! It must taste great. The Australian roasted whole lamb.
It is made of selected Australian sheep. The cooking time is very particular! Roasted lamb with vegetable salad tastes like a bowl of lamb soup. You know what it tastes like! It's great! Travelers, try it too! In an instant, both sheep turned into skeletons! The handsome guy on the farm must think that the Chinese tourists are so amazing.
The uncle is a great cook! It was already 9:00 pm after dinner. Tomorrow morning we will set off to visit the 12 rock climbers at the Great Ocean Road, a famous attraction in Melbourne. I went back to the cabin to sort out my clothes, made a cup of black tea, and sat on a recliner outside the cabin, looking at the stars in the sky. I haven't seen the stars in the sky for a long time in China, so I must appreciate them!
Under the starry sky, "Yunluo" wants to say goodnight to all the travelers. The rural scenery of Australia seems like a beautiful landscape painting. A moving freehand painting. You will never forget it! Fall asleep soundly with the resting farm.
The Great Ocean Road was awakened by the cheerful chirping of birds before dawn. It was still dark outside. Yunluo and An Chuyu got up to eat breakfast and prepared to set off for the Twelve Apostles, a famous Australian attraction on the Great Ocean Road. The tour guide said yesterday that the round trip would take about 10 hours. But the scenery will definitely make your trip worthwhile!
We passed countless farms along the way. The prairie scenery was breathtaking and the cows were happily enjoying a hearty breakfast. There were beautiful villas of Australian farmers on both sides of the highway. After about 3 hours of driving, we passed a small town for lunch and took a short break and continued to head to the Great Ocean Road. The town was very quiet and there was no one on the road!
It seems that the arrival of tourists from China has broken the tranquility of the town! Momo Bear really likes the tranquility of the small town in Australia. The motorcycle shop in the town. The weather seems to be a bit like it will rain. After driving for nearly an hour and a half, we finally arrived at the long-dreamed Great Ocean Road Scenic Area. Another tourist tool for visiting the Great Ocean Road Scenic Area is a helicopter.
As introduced in the previous travel channel, taking a helicopter to overlook the Twelve Apostles of the Great Ocean Road from the air is the best way to view it, because only from the air can you appreciate the spectacular scenery of the Great Ocean Road. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not have time, so travelers who have the opportunity to go to the Great Ocean Road in the future must take a helicopter to visit the scenery of the Great Ocean Road!
The Twelve Apostles of Great Ocean Road (or "Twelve Apostles Rocks") is located along the coast of Melbourne, Australia. There is a strange cliff called "Twelve Apostles Rocks". It is actually 12 sandstone rocks protruding from the surface of the South Pacific Ocean, which have been baptized by waves and sea winds for thousands of years.
The 12 rocks were carved by nature to look like human faces with different expressions. They look sad, but gentle, and the ingenuity of nature has created an amazing and magnificent wonder. However, today, only 8 of the 12 rock walls remain, and 3 of them (estimated) have collapsed due to the impact of waves over the years.
The most recent collapse was in 2005. At that time, a large rock 45 meters high suddenly collapsed. In a few seconds, it turned into a pile of rubble, and the collapsed rubble was still 10 meters above sea level. So travelers who want to see the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road should hurry up. Otherwise, you will never have the chance to see it again!
Oh! Remind tourists to be careful of snakes nearby. Australia's poisonous snakes are world-famous! Be careful. The weather in the Great Ocean Road Scenic Area is surprisingly good! The sky is clear! Haha! Does it feel like you are on a flying carpet to visit the Twelve Apostles? The Twelve Apostles Scenic Area is magnificent and spectacular. It is different from other seascapes. I don't know why it feels so tragic.
Once you come here, you will be impressed by its momentum and deeply moved by it! You have to admire the ingenuity of nature! It is so beautiful! It is simply beyond words! It is as beautiful as a landscape painting! Blue sky and white clouds accompany the rocky seascape! Give 10,000 likes! Goodbye, 'Twelve Apostles Rock', your beauty will always remain in Yunluo's memory!
If you have the chance, you must come! The tour guide said there is a road along the coastline that leads directly to the Great Ocean Road. Friends who like self-driving tours should not miss such a beautiful view! Next, we will go to the second attraction of the day, "London Bridge". London Bridge is a cape that protrudes from the sea and connects the land.
Due to the erosion of the waves, two natural arches were formed, which gave it the name London Bridge. In 1990, one of the arches collapsed, forming a broken bridge. I have to admire the ingenuity of nature again! After years of erosion, it has formed a unique and beautiful landscape. The vegetation on the shore is very dense. The tour guide said there are poisonous snakes in it. Don't go deep into the grassland. There is a large grassland beside the beautiful Great Ocean Road.
The endless prairie and the unbeatable sea view give the Great Ocean Road a unique landscape. The endless prairie and coastline outside the car window form a beautiful picture. Returning to Melbourne city, the Australian rural police bought two cans of chocolate milk at a rest stop and took a break before returning to the Melbourne rest stop supermarket.
Unlike in China, some supermarkets at highway rest stops are cheaper than those in the city. It was already 17:00 when we arrived in Melbourne city. The sky was gradually getting dark, but the scenery of Melbourne city harbor was still so charming. Melbourne city and Melbourne casinos are a large regional gambling city composed of small casinos.
The supermarkets around are open all night. Unlike other places, they close at 18:00. Most of them are open until 12:00 in the morning. We arrived at the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed on their last day in Australia. It is a four-star hotel surrounded by Melbourne's business district. The hotel also has a nice iPhone speaker. It's very fashionable, isn't it?
In the blink of an eye, the 8-day trip in Australia is about to end. I will return to Sihai City tomorrow. I am a little reluctant to leave. I will go to bed early first, because I have to get up early to catch the plane tomorrow! Go to bed first, fellow travelers!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I got up at 6 o'clock and sorted my clothes. I had breakfast at 6:30 and set off at 7 o'clock. Melbourne was already busy in the morning. I looked out the window at the busy Melbourne and went to the airport to check in! Friends who smoke, please remember that smoking is completely prohibited in Australian airports, and there is no smoking room!
If you want to smoke, you should smoke enough outside before going in! Melbourne Airport Duty Free Shop, if you have the opportunity to go to Melbourne Airport, you must buy local colostrum because the duty-free price is cheaper than outside. The things are also more authentic! Forget about cigarettes. Cigarettes in Australia are very expensive because of the smoking ban. The cheapest one is RMB 50 per pack! Australian honeycombs are good!
Australian freshcut natural pollution-free honeycomb is the best of honey. Australian pure natural honeycomb has the effect of preventing colds and fevers and nourishing the liver. Honeycomb is eye-catching. It is a mature honey made by bees and sealed with wax, and is composed of honeycomb and honey. It is said that honeycomb combines propolis, royal jelly, pollen and honey.
Its nutritional value is higher than that of ordinary honey, and it is sweet and fragrant, not greasy, and is the best among honeys. Yunluo bought 12 boxes and prepared to go back and take a good rest. Waiting to board the plane and going back to Sihai City soon, "Yunluo"'s feelings about this trip to Australia are not what I imagined. At first, I thought Australia was just a big farm.
But when you really come here, you will find that although the streets in the central area are not wide, they are clean and orderly. I personally think that Australia is cleaner than Japan because there are very few people, and there are still large tracts of green space in places where every inch of land is valuable. The central city is full of high-rise buildings, and the buildings are more distinctive and fashionable, while the larger urban areas are basically green spaces and villas.
Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Australia has charming beaches, gentle and romantic, and quiet harbors. There are about 136,000 farms in Australia. They are all very neat and beautiful, mainly raising cattle, sheep and other species. It is said that everything grown and raised on the farm can be sold for money, so the farmers are very rich, and they don’t know where to spend their money.
Australians are straightforward and like to talk to strangers. The society is also very tolerant, and people of different races live in harmony here, making Australia a truly international immigrant country. The slow pace of life of Australians also affects work efficiency, and Australians like to work in an orderly manner.
They are particularly concerned about the quality of work, so generally the progress of the project is slow but the quality is absolutely excellent. Chinatown is the place with the largest number of Chinese people. Chinatown is the largest in Australia and has its own characteristics. Every traditional festival, Chinatown holds a grand celebration, and officials from local governments at all levels are invited to participate.
Chinese people have truly integrated into Australian society. Australia has unique tourism resources. Sydney is not only an international business and leisure capital, but also a shopping paradise. There are many large shopping malls on Pitt Street in the city center, with a first-class shopping environment. The goods here are not only of various grades, but also of complete varieties.
Fashion brands are almost in sync with those in Europe and America. There are not many local specialties in Australia that can be bought. Australian gems and sheep oil are more famous. In addition, coffee, chocolate and milk powder are cheaper than in China and are worth buying. Australia is a paradise for self-driving tours, and Melbourne is a city you must visit in this paradise.
Although Yunluo has not traveled all over Australia, he has been to many places in Melbourne. When the weekend comes, many Melbourne locals will drive out of the city and go out in all directions with Melbourne as the center. Yunluo and his friends will also go out often to see different scenery and visit places they have never been to before.
Melbourne and its surrounding areas always have something different to attract you all year round. So you can come to Melbourne at any time. It will be one of the best destinations for you to travel with your bag. Over the years, Yunluo has gradually integrated into the lives of the locals and learned to experience what the locals like to do.
Try their favorite food, drink their favorite wine, you can also say that as a new Chinese, Yunluo is very lucky to come to Melbourne. If you come to Melbourne, Yunluo is very happy to tell you what's new in Melbourne recently, what restaurants and food are popular, and where is the best place to go recently, as long as you have time.
Yunluo is also very happy to take you for a stroll, take you to the places where Yunluo has been, and show you the charm of this place.
