After driving more than 270 kilometers from Sydney to Canberra, Yunluo and An Chuyu first went to the hotel to put their luggage. In Canberra, Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at the canberrarexhotel. It is said that Chinese delegations visiting Australia all stayed here, and the conditions were pretty good. For more information about this hotel, Yunluo will explain it in detail in the [Accommodation] section of the [Practical Guide] later.

After putting away their luggage, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove to the Australian Parliament House. You can visit here, but you need to go through security check. The Parliament House has two facades, the main facade in the northeast is the official entrance and the public entrance. The secondary facade in the southwest is simpler and is the working entrance used by members of parliament and staff.

Enter the most advanced entrance hall of the Capitol from the main entrance. The lobby in the middle of the lobby leads to the center of the building, which is the core of the building's ceremony. The marble staircases on both sides of the lobby connect to the public corridor on the second floor, leading to the House of Representatives and Senate on both sides of the building. The two houses are actually connected to the central building but have independent structures.

The lobby of the Capitol. The tapestry hanging on the far wall is one of the largest tapestries in the world, 20 meters long and 9 meters high. The main color of the Australian Senate Chamber is red, reflecting the theme color of the British House of Lords. The color used in the Senate is also a more calm hematite ochre, reflecting the color of the Australian land, especially the inland land.

The theme color of the Australian House of Representatives Chamber is green, which is intended to reflect the theme color of the British House of Commons, to show that Australia's parliamentary tradition is inherited from the long tradition of the Westminster system. However, the green used here is a lighter tone, echoing the color of Australian eucalyptus leaves. A 12.8-meter-long flagpole is hung on the 81-meter-high flagpole at the top of the building.

The 6.4-metre-wide flag, the size of half a tennis court, weighs 15 kilograms. The flagpole weighs 250 tonnes and is made of polished stainless steel from Wollongong. Designed to be the pinnacle of Parliament House, the flagpole is an easily recognisable symbol of the national government. The flagpole is easily visible from inside and outside Parliament House during the day and is illuminated at night.

After leaving the Parliament House, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove to the Australian National University. The school was very quiet. There were not many students on the playground, probably all of them were in class. In fact, Yunluo thought that if the weather was so good in Beijing, everyone would definitely come out to play. The lawn in front of the teaching building. After visiting the school. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked around the center of Canberra again.

Compared with Sydney and Melbourne, this city is indeed much quieter. The next day, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the National Museum in the morning. The appearance of this museum is very stylish. It is too difficult to find a parking space in the parking lot. I walked around for several times before I got one. You can't take pictures in the museum, so Yunluo can only take two pictures at the door.

Australia has a short history, and there are many exhibits in the museum, but the explanations of the exhibits are all in English, and there are many unfamiliar words, most of which Yunluo didn't understand... At noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove back to Sydney. After 270 kilometers of training on the way here, Yunluo could already merge and overtake in various ways on the way back.

Hehe. Arriving at a rest area, Beijing, Beijing, look at the blue sky! After returning the car at Sydney Airport, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a plane to Tasmania, the southernmost island of Australia. The Canberra part is over.

Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in Hobart for three days in Tasmania. Today, Yunluo and An Chuyu signed up for a one-day tour to Wineglass Bay. It is quite far from Hobart to Wineglass Bay. It takes more than 3 hours on the road, which means 7 hours round trip. The route is as shown in the picture: [Attractions] Tasmania is the only island state in Australia.

Originally named Van Diemensland, it is located 240 kilometers south of the Australian mainland. Tasmania includes Tasmania Island and the surrounding islands. Tasmania Island, located in the southeast of Australia, is a heart-shaped island across the sea from Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, the southernmost state in mainland Australia.

Both the government and the people refer to Tasmania as "Tasmania". Tasmania has an area of ​​90,758km2, the smallest of the six states. The state has a population of 493,000 (2007), and the largest city is the capital Hobart. Population 210,000 (2006). Tasmania is the place with the best natural ecological protection in Australia.

Tasmania is known as the "Natural State", "Apple Island" and "Australian version of New Zealand". It is characterized by beautiful scenery and simple culture. Geographically, as an independent island, there are large undeveloped natural areas, and about 40% of the state is officially listed as national parks, nature reserves or world natural heritage.

Wineglass Bay is one of the most popular holiday resorts for tourists and locals on Tasmania. Overlooking the crystal clear Great Oyster Bay, it is a paradise for swimming, diving, kayaking, boating and fishing enthusiasts. [Start of the trip] Pick up.

Yunluo and An Chuyu flew from Sydney to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. It was already evening when they arrived in Hobart. In Hobart, Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at the Bluehills Motel. The front desk was Chinese and the hotel environment was pretty good. Detailed information about this hotel.

Yunluo will explain in detail in the [Accommodation] section of the [Practical Guide] later. Yunluo and An Chuyu signed up for a one-day tour to Wineglass Bay, the price was $105 (￥588) per person. They originally wanted to rent a car and drive themselves, but they felt that driving for 7 hours a day was a bit tiring, and the cost of renting a car + gas + tickets was almost the same as the tour fee.

So I just signed up for a tour. In the morning, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the travel agency's car to Wineglass Bay. The car drove to the town of Orford to rest. The scenery here is very beautiful. When they were about to reach Wineglass Bay, there was a section of the coastal road, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful. When they were about to reach Wineglass Bay, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to a manor and took a short rest.

This manor has homemade chocolate and jam, as well as ice cream, which tastes great. When we arrived at Freycinationalpark, Wineglass Bay is here, but if you want to see Wineglass Bay, you have to climb a mountain. Yunluo and Anchuyu will go up the mountain later. At the entrance of the park, there is a scenic spot called Honeymoon Bay, Lover's Bay, with a great view.

Yunluo and An Chuyu had lunch here. The water in Lover's Bay is very clear. After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu started to climb the mountain. This mountain road is easy to climb, just keep walking. In the middle, you will pass by a terrace with a view of the scenery, where you can take a short rest. Finally, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally arrived at the Wineglass Bay Lookout.

However, Yunluo felt that the scenery here was not as good as he had imagined, maybe because the angle was not very good. You can also go down to Wineglass Bay from here, but it takes an hour and a half to go back and forth. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu signed up for a tour group that day, there were strict time requirements, so they did not go down. What a pity!

On the way back to Hobart, Yunluo and Anchuyu came to Swansea for a short break. It is a beautiful town. If you have more time, it is recommended to stay here for a day. The small cars played by the local children in Swansea are quite interesting. It is a very leisurely place.

In the evening, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Hobart. Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the most famous steak house in the area, ballandchain, to eat steak. The steak here is very delicious and not too expensive. More information about this restaurant. Yunluo will explain it in detail in the [Practical Guide to Dining and Food] later. After eating, we strolled back to the hotel. We will start driving again tomorrow!

Today Yunluo and Anchuyu rented a car in Hobart and drove to Bruny Island. Please refer to the map for the self-driving route: [Attractions] Bruny Island is an island in Australia with an area of ​​322 square kilometers. It is located on the southeast coast of Tasmania and is separated from the main island of Tasmania.

The Entrecasteaux Channel separates the island from the north-eastern coast of the country. Both the island and the channel are named after the French explorer Bruni Jean Entrecasteaux. Geographically, Bruny Island is actually made up of two islands: North Bruni and South Bruni, which are connected by a narrow sandy isthmus.

Outside the settlements on the island are pastures and large eucalyptus forests. The inland forests are being cut down, but much of the rest, especially the southeast coastline, is protected by the South Bruny National Park. There are two long beaches on the seaward side: Adventure Bay and Cloudy Bay.

The diabase cliffs are over 200 meters above sea level and are one of the highest seaside cliffs in Australia. The side facing the bay is a good place for locals and tourists to fish and have fun. Here is the official website to learn more about the island's attractions: .au [Start of the trip] I have the experience of driving from Sydney to Canberra.

Driving on a left-hand road is no longer a difficult thing. Today Yunluo and An Chuyu rented a car in Hobart, still a Nissan X-Trail, the same as the one in Sydney, because it is really the cheapest SUV that can accommodate Yunluo and An Chuyu's suitcases. Tomorrow Yunluo and An Chuyu will drive it to Launceston Airport to return the car.

Then fly back to Melbourne. Regarding self-driving in Australia, Yunluo will explain it in detail in the following [Practical Guide to Self-driving in Australia]. Back to the topic, since Bruny Island is an island, you need to take a ferry to go back and forth. When you buy a ticket at the ferry station, there will be a ferry timetable. Be sure to check the time of the last ferry.

Come back early, otherwise you will have to live on the island! Waiting in line for the ferry. This time, Yunluo and An Chuyu rented a dark green X-Trail, the last one on the far right. The ferry takes about 20 minutes, and you can walk to the boat to see the scenery. Prepare to go to the island! At this time, you can hear the sound of each car starting on the boat.

In those few seconds, it was very lively. Yunluo and An Chuyu first drove to Adventure Bay, which is the narrow sandy isthmus connecting the North Island and the South Island of Bruny Island mentioned earlier. When you walk to the observation deck, you will find that it is beautiful here! There is sea on both sides, and you are in the middle. The beach here is also very good, and there are not many people.

However, since this is the southern part of the Southern Hemisphere, the weather is still relatively cold and we cannot go to the sea. There are few people and it is very beautiful. This is the place Yunluo likes! Continuing to drive south, we came to the South Island. Yunluo and An Chuyu planned to go to the southernmost Cape Bruny Lighthouse.

The last section of the road to the lighthouse was all dirt roads. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu rented an SUV. Otherwise, they would have to drag their feet in many places. There was a parking lot near the lighthouse. After parking the car, they had to walk the last section of the road. Finally, they arrived at the lighthouse. This was the southernmost point that Yunluo had reached on this trip, and it was also the southernmost place on Earth that Yunluo had visited so far.

Looking down from the mountain of the lighthouse, the scenery here is also beautiful, no less than Wineglass Bay. Leaving the lighthouse. Yunluo and An Chuyu passed by a green area, where there were many sheep. When they saw Yunluo taking pictures of them, they came closer to look at Yunluo and An Chuyu. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not return along the original route, but chose to go east through the tropical rainforest to see the east side of the island.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There are some exhibitions in this Yulin, showing how people used to collect wood. We came to the east of Bruny Island, where there are beautiful reeds. After a short rest, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove back to the dock. We took the ferry back. In the evening, we drove back to Hobart City, and Yunluo and An Chuyu still went to ballandchain where they went yesterday to eat steak.

I didn't expect to visit this store twice. This morning Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the famous Salamanca Market, then drove up Mount Wellington to see the whole of Hobart, then drove to the Mona Museum, and drove to Launceston Airport in the afternoon to change cars.

Fly back to Melbourne. Hobart to Mount Wellington, and then to the mona museum self-driving route reference map: Hobart to Launceston Airport self-driving map: [Attractions] Salamanca is the general name for all areas and activities related to Salamanca in Tasmania, Australia.

It is located in the southeast of the city center of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and is a popular place for people in the suburbs to eat and relax.

It takes about 2 hours to walk to the top of the mountain along the hiking trail that was built and opened in 1937. You can also drive along the rugged motorway to reach the top.

The Museum of Old and New Art (mona, museum of ancient and modern art) has an official introduction: When you travel to the end of the world and sail up the river, you may have a slim chance to reach mona. Museum of Old and New Art. mona is located in Tasmania, the southernmost tip of Australia.

This is as far from the international art world as you can get. This underground playground is home to the private collection of David Walsh. A local lad at home at the poker tables of the casino world, his collection spans thousands of years and ranges from ancient artefacts to a machine that poops every 2pm.

From Australian modern masters (Blackman, Boyd, Nolan, Whiteley) to international contemporary stars (Delvoye, Ikeda, Ofili, Kiefer). There are no captions on the gallery walls. But Yunluo and Anchuyu have 'O', a handheld device.

For you to read art information (some informed opinions. Called pretentious 'artwank', or you would rather listen to David's neurotic roar). You can also not have any explanation - mona wants you to have your own opinion, your most genuine reaction to what you see. If your reaction is: 'This is bullshit! ',

You can also press the 'hate' key on the 'o'. Launceston is located in the north of Tasmania, Australia. It is the second largest city in Tasmania with a population of 103,200 (2006). Launceston is the third oldest city in Australia (after Sydney and Hobart).

It has a large number of historical buildings and landscapes. [Start of the trip] The Salamanca Market is only held on Saturdays, which is why Yunluo and An Chuyu changed their itinerary and continued to live in Hobart. (The original plan is now in Launceston) This is a very unique market, selling local specialties.

It was very lively. The black paper said, "Yes, all our products are made in Tasmania". All the products are made in Tasmania. These cutting boards are very beautiful. Flowers. There is a park in the south of the market, where many people get up early to do morning exercises. Then Yunluo and An Chuyu drove up Mt. Wellington. The car could directly see the top of the mountain. (To be continued...)
