Sometimes it slopes downward. It has the best examples of Georgian architecture in Australia, which adds to the already picturesque city scenery. I like to wander around here aimlessly, find a random nameless coffee shop, and have a freshly toasted sandwich and a cup of fragrant coffee for breakfast. Not far from the business district.
There are also the famous Salamanca Square (SALAMANCAPLACE) those old Georgian warehouses, which used to be a gathering place for sailors, whalers and craftsmen. Now it is the cultural center of Hbart City; there are many art galleries, theaters, coffee bars, handicraft shops and restaurants here.
The Salamanca Market every Saturday is the most popular open-air market in Hbart. Here you can buy locally produced organic fruits and vegetables, flowers, exquisite local arts and crafts, and a variety of small items. Yunluo and An Chuyu were worried that the market would not be open because it was too early, so they decided to climb to the top of Mount Wellington to overlook the entire Hbart.
Mt Wellington is located 100 km west of downtown Hobart, about 10 minutes by car, and has an elevation of 100 meters above sea level. There is an observation deck on the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy the snow scenery in winter. Mt Wellington has become the first choice for tourists to visit Hobart due to its unique geographical location. Along the mountain trail that was built and opened in 2009.
It takes about an hour to walk to the top of the mountain, or you can drive along the rugged motorway. On the way up the mountain, you will pass by Cascade Gardens and Cascade Brewery. This oldest brewery in Australia has a unique appearance. From a distance, it looks like a huge French castle nestled at the foot of the mountain.
The winery was built in 1999 and still uses the clear and sweet waterfall spring water flowing down from the mountains to brew wine using traditional methods. The winery museum displays the history and cultural customs of the winery and its surrounding areas. After driving along the winding mountain road, I realized that people are not just enjoying enough sleep on weekends.
Many young people have already ridden to the top. PinnaclebservatryShelter, the estuary of the Derwent River and the natural scenery around the mountain. The valley below the mountain is often shrouded in mist or light rain, adding a bit of beauty to the rocky mountains here. Standard visit photos to enjoy the panoramic view of Hbart.
We returned to the way we came and headed straight to the best place to eat seafood in the area. "Mures" is located in the center of the port. Various small boats, fishing boats, yachts, and sailboats are docked here. It is a thriving scene. Birds are strolling leisurely here. "Mures" is quite eye-catching. It is located in the center of the port. The entire restaurant is divided into two floors.
It should be considered a big hotel in the area, but the price is very affordable. The restaurant is a self-service restaurant, from the entrance to the exit. Drinks, desserts, wines, seafood, etc. are neatly placed in the glass counter for everyone to choose from, which is quite appetizing. Just make your choice and pay the bill. Yunluo chose a seat under the outdoor parasol and enjoyed the food while admiring the beautiful scenery.
Yunluo's favorite is seafood. There is a small restaurant next to Mures Restaurant. All the food is takeaway. The ingredients are fresh and cooked to order. The Mak (Hbart) below is on the right side of Mures. Foreigners have recommended it. Drinks, desserts, wines, seafood, etc. are also very expensive. You can eat in or take out. Yunluo did not go in.
This place has the longest queue, I wonder if it's because the food is the best. The most popular and famous thing here is probably fish & chips. After eating and drinking, head to the next destination: RichmndRichmnd is about 10 minutes away from Hbart. When you come to this small town, you will feel like you have gone back in time.
There are more than 50 century-old buildings here, most of which are now high-quality hotels. The picture below is the famous The Richmond Arms Htel. Winery Restaurant If you want to get to know Richmond in depth, the best way is to walk around. Several generations of artists and craftsmen have been attracted to this town.
Their work can be seen in galleries and cafes. If you have time, you can enjoy a picnic on the banks of the Coal River while feeding the ducks. Or rent a boat and relax on the river. Australia's oldest bridge - this bridge was built by convict labour between 1900 and 1911. Walk across this ancient bridge.
It is the oldest existing Catholic church in Australia - St. John's Church built in 1939. The cemetery school in front of the door is a real town. There are only residents here. It is only a few hundred meters from the entrance to the exit of the town. However, this few hundred meters is the best choice to understand the history of Tasmania.
I reluctantly left Richmond and headed straight to Swansea where I stayed that night. I had originally planned to go to PrtArthur in the southeast corner, but considering that time was a bit tight, I finally decided to give up. It was not an easy decision to give up an important attraction in Tasmania, but fortunately, the beautiful scenery along the way made Yunluo quickly forget PrtArthur.
Endless roads, few vehicles, and a variety of scenery. Driving here will not make you feel tired at all. You will just want to stop, stop, and then be too lazy to move. You accidentally saw a piece of emerald green water, which is a private beach. You accidentally saw a lake, which is crystal clear.
Unconsciously, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove to RFRD, which was the first white sand beach they saw on Taman Island. It was very long along the coastline, with blue water and white sand. There were almost no people here, and you could surf and swim here at will. The mountain opposite was Maria Island. Yunluo and An Chuyu rented a light car again.
It is convenient to drive in the rugged mountains. Without the RV, the cottages by the sea became Yunluo's first choice for accommodation. On the first night, I stayed in Swansea Beach Chalets. Although the price of Swansea Beach Chalets is much lower than that of villas in Southeast Asia,
But you can still lie on the spacious bed and watch the tides, fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and wake up to the sound of birds in the morning. The happiness index is still very high! Swansea Beach Chalets Swansea Beach Chalets rooms are located on Jubilee Beach.
Enjoying stunning uninterrupted views across Freycinet Natinal Park and Greatyster Bay, Swansea Beach Chalets offers spacious accommodation with a private balcony and fully equipped kitchen. Swansea Beach Chalets.
Although Swansea Beach Chalets has a large kitchen and is fully equipped, Yunluo went on strike after having breakfast and dinner in the RV. There is a restaurant not far from the hotel, and Yunluo always likes to find one near the sea and eat from dusk until dark.
The SALTSHAKER at the street corner has a very eye-catching sign, which meets all the needs of Yunluo. You must sit outside to feel the Swansea Beach Chalets. There is a Chinese menu here! Checkout is in Australian dollars. I went back to the cabin to sleep contentedly!
A must-go place for dinner with penguins. Taste fresh oysters and mussels at Freycinet marine farm. Taste delicious food while watching the sunset at Wineglass Bay at Freycinet Ldge. When checking in last night, the foreigner kept introducing to An Chuyu that this is the best place to watch the sunrise, without having to travel far or climb to the top of the mountain.
Just get up from the bed. Go to the balcony. An Chuyu was so excited that he had to get up early. Yunluo had watched the sun rise and set in the past few years at the seaside, in the Gobi Desert, and on the top of the mountain. He had no interest at all, but in the end, before dawn, he was ruthlessly dragged out of bed. Although Yunluo was cold, hungry, and sleepy.
But when the color of the sky changed from black to light purple, then to light blue, and finally, the sun came out from between the two mountains, illuminating the sky red. At that moment, Yunluo still felt that getting up before sleepiness faded was a wise choice. It was still early after watching the sunrise. Go back to sleep. KatesBerryFarm is very close to the town of Swansea.
It takes only five minutes to drive there. There are tourist signs all along the way, so it is easy to find. It can be seen that it is a very important place in Tasmania. Standing on the top of the farm, you can see the sea in the distance. However, Yunluo originally thought that this should be a large, endless farm, but he found it after entering.
This place is more cute and rustic, with wooden tables and chairs inside and outside. It is more appropriate to describe it as a farmhouse. Entering the cottage, it is filled with various chocolates, desserts and homemade jams, many local products. Yunluo was attracted by the dazzling array of goods, and couldn't put them down. Before he knew it, he had piled up a lot.
Many people come here for afternoon tea. Yunluo comes for morning tea. The business hours are in the morning. The menu is very tempting, and Yunluo wants to order everything, but it's a pity that Yunluo and An Chuyu are alone. This foreign grandmother is not Kate, but she is still very nice. She told Yunluo and An Chuyu that she worked in a kindergarten in Sihai City during the Chinese New Year.
Sihai City is a good place, with everything you want and colorful life. It was the happiest time of her life. She ordered a toast and a waffle, both freshly made, melt-in-the-mouth, soft and paired with their own strawberry jam, which was sweet but not greasy. So, after breakfast, she ordered a few more bottles of jam. If you like ice cream, you must not miss it.
I suggest you try every flavor! After leaving the farm, we headed to Wineglass Bay, the highlight of the day. On the way to Wineglass Bay, about 10 minutes away, we passed by Freycinet marine farm. Although we had just had breakfast, we decided to go in and try the freshest oysters. This is actually an open-air restaurant.
Similar to Yunluo and An Chuyu's food stall, but it attracts a lot of tourists because the oysters are freshly caught. I recommend the oysters and mussels again. The freshness is the highlight. The hot baked scallops with butter and lemon juice are also delicious. Australian abalone, lobster, etc. are also the specialties here. The price is not expensive, but Yunluo and An Chuyu did not order them.
We continued to move forward. Tasmania is rich in natural resources and covered with forests. There were no cars or people for several kilometers. Only Yunluo and An Chuyu's car was running on the narrow two-lane road. When they were about to reach the tourist center, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked into a small fork on the right. Various yachts appeared in front of them. Foreigners were born to enjoy life.
You can see a car towing a yacht everywhere. Yunluo and An Chuyu work and study non-stop every day, from the time they open their eyes to the time they go to bed. Yunluo is really envious of the quiet bay, which is like a picture, completely different from the turbulent seaside. White clouds lie gently on the top of the hill, and the green sea water tightly surrounds the foot of the hill.
The yachts on the sea were enjoying everything here without any worries. How could anyone bear to leave? The whole pier was not big. There was a convenience store and a small restaurant. Thinking that they would have to climb a mountain for hours, and there was nothing to eat on the way, Yunluo couldn't help but take away some delicacies. The salmon on Ta Island was indeed well-deserved.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Any food made of it tastes delicious. I ate oysters again or Fish & Chips. I came to Freycinet National Park just to see Wineglass Bay. Yunluo and An Chuyu first went to the visitor center to get a map. The staff here were still enthusiastic and patiently explained the route to Yunluo and An Chuyu.
The route on the map is basically divided into two, one is walking and the other is driving. There are two scenic spots on foot: minutes to reach the observation deck, where you can have a bird's eye view of Wineglass Bay. If you have enough energy, you can walk for another hour to go back and forth and appreciate its beauty up close. It takes about minutes to drive to the upper right corner of the map, which is the best point to overlook Wineglass Bay.
Yunluo and Anchuyu chose the first walking route, put on running shoes, and set off. In 2011, the American travel magazine "Utside" voted Wineglass Bay as one of the top ten beaches in the world. Looking at the long stretch of snow-white sand bay from afar, it looks like foam on the edge of a wine glass, which is why it is famous all over the world. The beautiful scenery in front of you is breathtaking.
Just like what the magazine commented: Yunluo was alone in this vast world where the sea and sky merged into one, feeling the wilderness, tranquility and greatness of the natural landscape... In the distance, there is a bay close to the Wineglass Bay, the color of which is blue-green and comparable to Jiuzhaigou, but this is sea water! If it is so beautiful from a distance, how amazing will it be if you look at it up close?
Yunluo couldn't resist the power of nature and decided to walk back and forth for an hour to have a close contact with it. He walked through the primeval forest all the way. The mountain road was not easy to walk on and the road was relatively narrow. After passing through the forest, he finally arrived at the beach. The beautiful scenery in front of him reminded Yunluo of Maya Bay in Thailand. The biggest difference was that there were no people and no sun umbrellas here.
There are no coconut trees. Yunluo can now recall the good times when she sat by the sea: the breeze blew, the waves gently lapped at Yunluo's toes, the clear blue water rushed to the shore, and the silvery white sand on the shore was as perfect as the rim of a wine glass..." Yunluo and An Chuyu both knew that the weather at the seaside was changeable.
But it changed too quickly. Soon the sky was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain. And there was no sign of stopping. It kept raining harder and harder. When Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to the parking lot, they were soaked. Their original plan was to go to the famous restaurant in Cles Bay to watch the sunset and enjoy a meal. Now they could only leave it unsaid.
Although I didn't make it, I still have to recommend it to everyone. Located in Cles Bay, it is the only way to Wineglass Bay. Because the way in and out is the same, you can go there for lunch or dinner on the way back. Freycinet Ldge is actually a large high-end four-star hotel, and the room rate is more than a thousand per night.
The restaurant is a major feature of the hotel, facing the sea. It is also the best spot to watch the sunset, so I recommend everyone to have dinner there. The restaurant not only has a first-class view, but the food tastes great. Of course, the price is not cheap, at least AUD per person. I wanted to have a good meal tonight, but I missed the lobster again.
Freycinet Lodge Freycinet Lodge Why Yunluo chose to stay in Bichen is because there are cute little penguins here. After careful research, there are two standards for seeing penguins: paid and free. The paid standard is to join the tour group (Bichen Penguin Turs).
You can sign up directly at the hotel or in the local area. Their registration ends at: 10:00 am. The registration point is in the center of the town, a very eye-catching location. You are guaranteed to see penguins, and the adult Australian dollar.
There are two places where you can see penguins for free: one is Bichenby the Bay where Yunluo stayed. It is close to the town and convenient for eating and drinking. The room rate is around yuan. The other is Diamnd Island Resort. The facilities are slightly better than the previous hotel, but it is a 3-minute drive from the town.
There is no place to eat nearby, but the hotel has its own restaurant, which is rated as delicious and has beautiful scenery. The room rate is around 1000 yuan. After careful consideration, Yunluo chose Bichenbythebay. The front desk also gave Yunluo and An Chuyu a map, told them where the best place to see penguins was, and whether they needed to help Yunluo and An Chuyu sign up for a tour group, etc. (~^~)
