Chapter 1554 Eyes



Kangaroo Point is a bend in the Brisbane River. It is located at a high altitude and overlooks the beautiful Brisbane River and the high-rise buildings on the other side. Although it is called Kangaroo Point, unfortunately you can't find kangaroos here. It is actually a bag-shaped area formed by the bend of the Brisbane River. There are two legends about why it is called Kangaroo Point.

First, it is said that this bay looks like a kangaroo's tail, so the locals call it Kangaroo Cape, just like the Cape of Good Hope in Africa; second, it is said that this was the place where the government used to hunt kangaroos. Kangaroos were a disaster here and affected people's lives, so the government drove the kangaroos to Kangaroo Cape, and the kangaroos either fell off the cliff or were surrounded and killed.

So later there was a witty saying "There are no stories on the Story Bridge, and no kangaroos in Kangaroo Point". Now many people come here to rock climb. It feels like only experts will come here to rock climb. It is about a car ride from South Bank Park. Then we drove to the Story Bridge, but there were no photos, so Yunluo won't say much.

Gold Coast (Gold Coast, Australia) is located on the east coast of Australia. It is a resort consisting of kilometers and dozens of beautiful beaches. It is the famous Queensland Gold Coast. The Gold Coast has a subtropical monsoon climate, with sunshine all year round and humid air, making it suitable for tourism all year round.

But the best time is from December to February of the following year, which is the summer in Australia and very suitable for diving. A dozen years ago, this place was still unknown to many people. Until one day, a very smart businessman opened a hotel in this place and named it Surfers Paradise, which gradually attracted tourists from all over the world.

It takes about half an hour to drive from the center of Brisbane to the Gold Coast. There are many hotels on the Gold Coast. It is a holiday resort with sunny days all year round. Australians love surfing so much that their banknotes are waterproof. In Surfers Paradise, you can see foreigners of all ages playing happily in the waves.

I originally wanted to take some photos of pretty girls. I found it was completely in vain, hahahaha. I went home and looked through the photos and found that Yunluo was the prettiest. Ah hahahaha. We had a seafood buffet at the hotel for dinner. It was really good value. First of all, the environment was good. It was the dark style that Yunluo liked. The oysters were really delicious.

Eating a few is just the entry level. The shrimps are very sweet. This sweet shrimp is sold for one kilogram of Australian dollars outside. Eat, eat, eat. Beer, red wine, and white wine are available for you to choose. I have to mention the dessert cakes here, which are really delicious. Yunluo will not tell you that after Yunluo finished eating, he stuffed two pieces into his stomach. The waiters are all blonde and blue-eyed.

Well-trained foreigners. This meal was really delicious. It was not expensive, only charged Australian dollars per person. Today was perfect because of dinner. I went shopping at Ugg in the evening. It felt great to wander around after eating! I woke up at around 4 o'clock and found that I could watch the sunrise from the balcony, but it was not the best location.

Actually, you can dress up and go to the beach to watch the sunrise, but Yunluo didn't think of that at the time. When I opened the balcony door in the morning, the wind was still quite strong outside. The group members who went to join the hot air balloon came back and said that they didn't see the sunrise. Yunluo was very proud to take a micro video of the sunrise on the balcony, and then continued to catch up on sleep.

Today is a free day. Yunluo and An Chuyu booked a trip to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. The ticket price is AUD per person. Yunluo and An Chuyu are more than one person, so the local guide directly helps Yunluo and An Chuyu charter a car to go there, which saves a lot of money. The price is the round-trip fare plus the ticket price AUD per person, which is pretty good.

Then I took a photo with a koala. Because we were in a group, I could get a discount. It was originally one Australian dollar per ticket. Now it is one large Australian dollar plus four small ones. Don't miss it. I read the reviews of Currumbin online, which were mixed. Yunluo is a die-hard fan of the zoo. Of course, this place cannot be compared with zoos in China, because the variety of animals is definitely not as many as in China.

In addition, some animals are nocturnal and cannot be seen in the morning, such as the kangaroo bear. There is a pet hospital in the park. When Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived, they were treating a bat. Yunluo and An Chuyu could see the whole treatment process through the glass. You can take photos with kangaroos as much as you want, but you cannot touch their ears.

It also depends on whether you are lucky enough to meet a cooperative kangaroo~~~ Because there are too many people feeding kangaroos, even if you feed them food, they may not pay attention to you. The sleeping posture of kangaroos is quite ecstatic~ and they like to eat and poop at the same time, and the kangaroo's poop is quite smelly. In the morning: there is a wool show. In the afternoon.

After returning to the hotel, they set out for lunch. There is a very famous steak house on the Gold Coast called Irish Bar & Restaurant. They have special steak meals for Australian dollars, which are very cost-effective, but they are not on the menu. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked past and didn't see the special sign, so they ordered a 10g longan steak set meal.

Australian dollars. After ordering, the waiter will ask you how you want it done and what flavor you want. I also ordered an aperitif. The quality and freshness of the steak are really great. I have to say that Australians really serve large portions. A steak meal is just right for two people. I really like the onions in the salad, although it will be a bit spicy if you eat too much.

But the onions in Australia are really sweet. Also, the speed of serving food in Australia is really fast. It is no exaggeration to say that Yunluo waited until she fell asleep. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. After the foreigners placed the order, no one urged them to place the order, so Yunluo waited silently. But after eating, it was worth the wait. Have a good meal.

We went to Surfers Paradise to watch the sunset, play in the water, and see foreigners. After playing around, we walked barefoot all the way back to the hotel like the foreigners. It was so comfortable. I especially recommend this ice cream. The two scoops were as big as Australian dollars. Australians are really honest. Everything is pressed very tightly before being given to you. I really like the mint chocolate. It tastes good and not too sweet.

I have nothing to do at night, so I went out for a walk and took some photos. I will leave for Melbourne tomorrow morning, and this trip is coming to an end. If you are traveling by yourself, you can choose to go to the Great Ocean Road. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. It is said that the scenery there is super good. I thought today would be another perfect day.

Maybe it was because of the waves that I was so upset that I forgot about going to Q Building! I was chatting with people the next morning. Yunluo just remembered that I didn't go! I took an early flight to Melbourne today. Yunluo, who is used to arriving half an hour early, picked up his camera at four o'clock and went to the street to take pictures.

The wind made Yunluo shiver. It was really cold. Hotels in Australia are like this. Basically, no one is on duty at night. Starting at midnight, you need to swipe your card to enter and exit the hotel. On the way to the airport, I saw the sunrise. It was so beautiful~~~Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, Australia.

The second largest city in the Commonwealth of Australia. The cultural and industrial center of Australia, it is the most famous cultural city in the Southern Hemisphere. Melbourne was once the capital of the Commonwealth of Australia. The city's green area rate is as high as %. The Greater Melbourne area covers an area of ​​1,000 square miles (square kilometers), making it one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Southern Hemisphere.

Melbourne has a very elegant urban environment. It has won the United Nations Habitat Award and has been rated as the "world's most livable city" by the United Nations Human Settlements Program for many consecutive years. When I arrived in Melbourne, it was daylight saving time, and the time was one hour faster. The temperature in Melbourne on the day of arrival was ℃, which was really about to melt the clouds. Here is a talk about the weather in Melbourne.

You can experience four seasons in one day. Melbourne is also the coldest city in Australia. The temperature will be only ℃ tomorrow. It is really cold in Melbourne at night. You really can't go out without a coat~ St. Patrick's Cathedral is located next to St. Patrick's Park in Melbourne. It is the most representative Gothic building of the century.

The church has a rich collection of crafts, including delicate stained glass windows, ingenious wood carvings and stonemasonry, all of which highlight the grandeur and solemnity of the Catholic Church. The cathedral was designed by the famous British architect William Wardell in 1911 and officially opened in 1939.

The three spires of the church were not completed until 1999 to commemorate the centenary of the establishment of the Catholic Church in Victoria. The Gothic-style spires are meters high, fully demonstrating the architectural style and magnificence of the Renaissance. St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest Catholic church in the Southern Hemisphere. It is free to visit and you can take photos inside the church. But please remember to keep your voice down.

Don't disturb the people who are doing mass inside, and try not to take pictures of others with your camera. The windows inside are really beautiful, and each one is different. After that, cross a road. It is Fitzroy Park. In the afternoon, the sun and breeze make walking in the park very comfortable. I want to lie on the grass for half an hour.

Captain Cook's Cottage is located in Fitzroy Park in the heart of Melbourne. It is a real cottage. It is simple, plain, even rough, with a sloping roof covered with tiles and stone walls. The dark brown color reveals the ancient vicissitudes of life. James Cook was born in this cottage in Yorkshire, England in 1912. When Melbourne celebrated its anniversary in 1913, it was built in 1914.

Sir Russell, a well-known Australian industrialist, invested pounds to buy Captain Cook's former residence in the UK as a gift to the people of Melbourne. People carefully disassembled the former residence, numbered each piece of building material, packed it in boxes, weighing tons in total, and shipped it from the UK to Melbourne, where it was reassembled as it was.

Yunluo and An Chuyu just watched for five minutes outside. You need to buy a ticket to enter. The staff inside are all wearing the costumes of the time. If you enter, you can take photos with them. Yunluo and An Chuyu can only take photos outside. Phillip Island is a tourist destination in Australia, located in the sea 100 kilometers southeast of Melbourne. It is a natural animal sanctuary.

There are koalas, an animal unique to Australia, and fairy penguins, and you can see the world wonder - penguin landing. Phillip Island, also known as Penguin Island, is an island at the mouth of Westport Bay in southern Victoria, Australia. A bridge is built on the east side of the island to connect it to San Remo on the mainland.

The shape is similar to a dolphin. There are penguin ecological sanctuary, Churchill Farm, koala conservation center and Nobis Center on the island. It takes about an hour to drive to Phillip Island. Yunluo and An Chuyu first took a helicopter around the island, which took about minutes. It was my first time to take a helicopter and I was so excited. Haha~~~ I originally thought the captain would be a handsome guy.

So she clamored to sit next to the captain, and the result was, it was ???, ??? asked Yunluo to tell Yunluo where her hometown was, and Yunluo could show her the direction. Yunluo happily said Sihai City, ??? nodded, and said it was too far, then asked Yunluo if she wanted to fly out now to take pictures, and then started laughing.

Time is really short. I have to get off the plane before I have enough fun. There is still some time before dinner, so what can I do? Yunluo tells you! Go to the supermarket, because the supermarket in the suburbs is the largest entertainment venue~~~ After dinner. Drive another minute to Penguin Island to watch the penguins return to their nests. The little blue penguin is the smallest penguin in the world.

The height of the penguins is only centimeters. Every morning, the little penguins go out to sea in groups to fish. After a hard day's work, when the sun sets, they return from the sea to their caves on the sand dunes, eager to feed their children with the day's spoils. When we entered the reserve, the wind was very strong, and many teams had already arrived.

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

So Yunluo and An Chuyu stood by the railing waiting for the penguins to return. I must say that myopia can't see them at all, hahahaha. By the way, you can't take pictures in the reserve. Even when the penguins haven't returned yet, if you take out your camera, the staff will stop you, and sometimes they will even use slang!

Of course, how could I not take photos in China? Some people even used flash to take photos. Please don't do this. The flash will blind the little blue penguins. Remember to follow the rules. After waiting for about minutes, the first batch of penguins began to return. I saw one from a distance first, staggering up, it was really super small.

Plus it was dark, so it was hard to see clearly. When the first group came ashore, it was almost time to turn around and walk to the railing at the entrance. After a while, you could see a large number of little blue penguins returning. If you are lucky, you can even see them crossing the road. They are so cute. Even a strong man's heart is about to melt.

It was already late when we got back to the hotel, so we went to bed. Tomorrow was the last day of the trip, so we had fun. Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in the suburbs, so they opened the map on their phones.

There are several universities nearby, a big park opposite, Melbourne Zoo behind, and about km away from the University of Melbourne. I still get up early and walk around. The air is really good, but the highest temperature in Melbourne today is only ℃, half of yesterday. In the morning in Melbourne, I see passers-by walking their dogs and running.

Riding a bicycle, Yunluo strolled on the street, feeling very comfortable, I like Melbourne. The corridor of the hotel is like this, you can stand outside and watch inside, beware of such people, haha. Sovereign Hill is a holy place where gold diggers flocked to, an outdoor museum that vividly displays a vigorous gold rush that took place here in the last century.

With its legendary history and high level of tourist participation, it is not only a tourist attraction, but also a journey through the history of gold. Walking into the gold mining town of Sovereign Hill is like walking through a time tunnel and entering a century full of hustle and bustle. Not only is the original appearance of time and space presented here, but even the staff are dressed in clothes from a hundred years ago.

The Chinese-speaking tour guides are dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes. While you are there, you can wear the costumes of that time and take photos in the Century Photo Studio on the main street, and mail a postcard with the postmark of that time to yourself or a friend as a precious souvenir; or you can play mid-century bowling in the Empire Bowling Alley and appreciate the pioneer theater.

Try the candies and bread made with a century-old secret recipe; or you can visit the century-old underground mine... Here, you can feel the fun of gold panning at any time. It takes an hour and a half to drive from the hotel to Sovereign Hill. There is a bakery in Sovereign Hill. The chickenpie and beefpie in it are delicious, and the gingerbread man is also very cute.

Yunluo and An Chuyu had lunch there. There were a lot of people lining up. There was also a candy store where the handsome young man selling candy was very handsome. There was also a photo studio where you could wear the costumes of the time and take photos. The photos were in black and white and needed to be developed. Yunluo vaguely remembered that the price was around Australian dollars, which seemed a bit expensive.

Some schools will let students wear the costumes of the time to participate in extracurricular activities here. It is best not to take pictures of them without the consent of the students and teachers, because Australia's child protection law for children under the age of 18 is quite prohibited. If you want to take a photo with the staff, you can inform them in advance, and they will definitely cooperate with you and say thank you politely.

After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to visit the mine at that time. People who are afraid of the dark, claustrophobia, and those who are easily allergic to dust are advised to bypass it and not go down, because the mine is too dark and you can't take any photos. A one-minute movie will be played during the visit. The feeling of coming out of the mine can be summed up in four words: "seeing the light of day again"!

There is no need to say much about St. Anne's Winery. Of course, you come here for wine tasting, and the aperitif here is really delicious. I really like that ml is only sold in Australian dollars, the price is really affordable, and it is not available in China. There is also a dark chocolate wine that is not bad~ Friends who love and understand wine should not miss it~ Federation Square is located in the city center of Melbourne (CBD).

It is located on the Yarra River in the south, Flinders St in the north, and St Kilda Rd in the west. This is an open multi-functional square where many social activities in Melbourne are held. I just passed by and went shopping. There is a station in Federation Square that is free to ride. (~^~)
