It takes two stops to reach Melbourne's Chinatown, where there are many restaurants, such as Sihai City Xiaolongbao, Jingcheng Roast Duck, Hunan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine. The most important area is bustling with shopping malls and large supermarkets. This is what Yunluo wants to say, hahahaha. I walked into a department store and admired the fashion of Australia.

Not bad, Target wishes you a prosperous business. The car was rented in advance on the Hertz website, with a daily rental of Australian dollars (Australian dollars per day). After arriving at Melbourne Airport, I bought MaxCover (full insurance) at the counter. If there is any problem with the car, Yunluo does not need to pay a penny. However, this insurance made Yunluo pay an extra Australian dollars per day.

(Total: AUD/day) Parking fees in Melbourne are very expensive, and the hotel check-in is not available until the afternoon. Fortunately, the hotel chosen by Yunluo and An Chuyu is located in the CBD area of ​​Melbourne, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk to Flinders St. Station. So they parked their car at the hotel first (parking fee AUD/night).

The price is 50% off for the hotel), and then walk to Flinders St Station. Melbourne has the most tram lines in the world. Trams must pass through the busiest streets and the lines extend to the countryside. Melbourne clings to this ancient means of transportation because it is a cultural city and it is also environmentally friendly.

Besides, it is not easy to abandon the world's largest tram network, and it is a pity. Taking the tram in Melbourne has the taste of San Francisco, but what is better than San Francisco is that its trams have restaurant services. Tourists can take a ride in front of the Metropolitan Museum, go around the city in two hours, eat and watch the night view, and have three or four dishes. The price is reasonable.

Unfortunately, the restaurant tram was fully booked two months ago, so we had to try the free sightseeing tram. In Australia, you can only buy alcoholic beverages indoors, or in public places like bars. It is illegal to drink outdoors! Cigarettes are also expensive, so only Australia sells 10-packs of cigarettes, and even sells tobacco and cigarette rolling machines.

Smokers can bring five packs of cigarettes per person when passing through customs. In Europe, you can bring one carton. I bought an alcoholic beverage in downtown Melbourne. I wanted to ask the clerk to open it for me, but the clerk told me that in Australia, you can only drink alcoholic beverages indoors or in public places such as bars. It is illegal to drink outdoors.

It is located in the center of Melbourne and is one of the world's famous existing arcade buildings.

It is a historical heritage building in Melbourne, Victoria. There is a relatively narrow indoor street in this arcade. It connects Little Collins Street and Bourke Street, and connects to Elizabeth Street in the west, so this indoor street is T-shaped. As an important Victorian building.

I thought that adrenaline would offset the lack of sleep and the fatigue of running under the scorching sun.

After buying sheep oil, papaya all-purpose cream, and postcards, I turned into the supermarket and went back to the hotel. I didn't want to go anywhere. I didn't want to go! Sliced ​​bread from the supermarket, bagged vegetables that had been cut and washed, Thousand Island dressing, bacon, homemade sandwiches, Japanese soy sauce and wasabi from the supermarket, plus boiled shrimp and various fruits.

In the morning, drive from Melbourne to the local holiday resort - Mornington Peninsula. In the afternoon, take the ferry from Serrento to Queenscliff. Ferry fare.

The car and driver cost AUD, and each additional adult costs AUD. After landing, we started our self-driving tour of the Great Ocean Road. Most travel agencies arrange a one-day tour of the Great Ocean Road, but the two tours that Yunluo introduces below require two nights on the Great Ocean Road. You can imagine how rushed it is to travel with a group.

Yunluo thinks it is more appropriate to drive and stay for two nights. ?Two ways to go on the Great Ocean Road, the picture below is the [classic way]: A-Melbourne (Melbourne) B-Apollo Bay (overnight) C-Port Campbell (overnight) D-Warrnambool (turn back and drive all the way back to Melbourne)! But Yunluo finally adjusted the route and chose the way shown in the picture below.

The Great Ocean Road becomes more and more exciting after Lorne, and the journey from Melbourne to Geelong is almost entirely on the highway, with no sight of the sea. That’s why I decided to go around the Mornington Peninsula, where there are endless beaches. After enjoying the sea views, I went to Sorrento to take the ferry to enter the Great Ocean Road.

Melbourne (Melbourne) B-Mornington Peninsula (Mornington Peninsula) C-Sorrento Ferry Terminal D-Apollo Bay (overnight) E-Port Campbell (overnight) F-Warrnambool (return to Melbourne by highway)! This arrangement also allows you to stay for two nights without missing any part of the Great Ocean Road.

We also visited the Mornington Peninsula, but the first day's schedule was tight, so we had to leave Melbourne as early as possible. Mornington Peninsula is located in Victoria, Australia. It takes about an hour to drive from Melbourne. This peninsula is picturesque and full of green mountains, and people often call it Melbourne's "playground".

The peninsula is surrounded by the sea and is an unforgettable stop on the wonderful journey between Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road. Yunluo and Anchuyu did not leave the hotel until 10:30, walking around the Mornington Peninsula and leaving a trail of footprints on various beaches. If they had not been in time to catch the ferry to Sorrento before 4 pm.

I really want to put on my swimsuit and squeeze in with the sun-bathing foreigners. I want to have a taste of the fun of vacation. The scenery along the way from Queen Clif to Great Ocean Road is like a fantasy of New Zealand. Mornington Beach is gentle and quiet. Some people say it is more beautiful than the scenery of the Great Ocean Road. Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in Yunluo's opinion.

Mornington is more like the resort beaches in Mauritius or Sanya in China. The Great Ocean Road is a magnificent sight of strong winds and huge waves hitting the rocks. PS, there is a ferry every time, and the last one is: You can go to this website www.aoliday.com to learn about the situation and buy tickets in advance. But it is also very convenient to buy tickets on site.

Follow the traffic and drive directly to the entrance of the pier. You can buy tickets through the car window with a credit card. You don't have to get out of the car at all. Dogs also take the ferry from Sorrento to the Great Ocean Road! From Sorrento to the Great Ocean Road, the ferry from Sorrento to the Great Ocean Road is on the ferry. The beautiful scenery of the Great Ocean Road is in the dusk.

The Great Ocean Road is located in the west of Melbourne. The Western Plains was originally a volcanic area. After many changes, it is now a vast wasteland. Only a few striking volcanic cones, lakes formed by magma blocking the waterway, and crater lakes are left, scattered on this plain.

The eastern section of the Great Ocean Road winds through the Otway Range. The southwest winds from the Southern Ocean carry abundant moisture, which is blocked by the Otway Range, causing orographic rainfall and creating a very wet and cool climate, which breeds dense and tall forests and fertile fields cultivated by farmers.

The Great Ocean Road was built to commemorate the soldiers who participated in the First World War. Many veterans also participated in the construction, and more than 100,000 workers worked hard for it. The construction of this road began in 1999. The entire line was opened in 2000. The Great Ocean Road stretches along the west coast of Victoria.

It brings visitors magnificent ocean scenery and countless beach activities. There are some coastal towns and fishing villages scattered along the way. The Great Ocean Road is located in the southwest of Melbourne, from Geelong, Lorne, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, all the way to Warrnambool, with a total length of nearly kilometers of coastal road. There are two famous lighthouses on the Great Ocean Road. Before reaching the Great Ocean Road Arch.

The first lighthouse we passed was the Splitpoint lighthouse, which was built in 1939. It stands tall on a small hill near the shore. The pure white lighthouse stands out against the green trees. The locals gave it a beautiful name, "The White Queen". The other one will be introduced later.

Overnight at Apollo Bay. Hotel: Apollo Bay Beachfront Motel Price: RMB Rating: 5. It's average. It's just a place to sleep on the Great Ocean Road. It's OK. At least it's clean. Apollo Bay Beachfront Motel! Apollo Bay Beachfront Motel! Apollo Bay Beachfront Motel!

After dinner at Apollo Bay Waterfront Motel, we put down our luggage and rushed to The Vista Seafood Restaurant, which was highly praised by all the beekeepers. This restaurant was only a hundred meters away from the motel where Yunluo and An Chuyu were staying. We ordered a seafood set meal for two, which cost Australian dollars (nearly RMB 1,000). However, the meal made Yunluo and An Chuyu look unhappy, so they gave it a bad review!

Bad review! Bad review! I can only sigh that foreigners really don't know how to cook seafood. Fresh seafood is already fresh and sweet, but they have to be ruined by all kinds of strange cooking methods. In the end, all of them were served cold, and the soup was also cold. Yunluo and An Chuyu were so cold after eating it, it was better than chewing Wrigley gum!

(Don't be fooled by the gorgeous pictures below!) Painful lesson: In places like Australia and New Zealand where seafood ingredients are first-rate, the best way to eat it is as sashimi. But later at Sydney Fish Market, Yunluo and Anchuyu made the same mistake again! Passing through a eucalyptus forest, tourists along the way stopped their cars and raised their cameras to take pictures of koalas.

Unfortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't have a telephoto lens. While Yunluo was staring blankly, his wife took the opportunity to break into the camera. Cape Otway Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse on the Australian mainland. It has been in continuous operation for more than 160 years since 1997. It is located in the southeast corner of Australia.

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

At the confluence of the towering Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean, the coastline of Port Campbell National Park is dotted with cliffs formed by millions of years of weathering and sea erosion. The independent reefs standing in the azure ocean are of various shapes, like human faces, and are called "Apostle Rocks".

However, the "Apostle Rock" collapsed due to the erosion of the waves, and now only a piece of rock remains. The Gibson Step is actually a walking staircase built along the seaside cliff of the Apostle Rock, which leads directly to the Apostle Rock Beach. When they arrived at the Gibson Step, it was high tide before they knew it, and a wave smashed Yunluo and An Chuyu's shoes to death on the beach.

Fortunately, my wife was wearing shorts. Otherwise, she would be in the same miserable state as Yunluo, who was climbing back up the stairs, looking up at the tourists' shiny hiking shoes. Yunluo couldn't help but smile evilly. So remember: you must wear shorts + slippers. The following pictures are all the scenery around the Cape Otway Lighthouse!

On the way from Apollo Bay to Cape Otway Lighthouse, the eucalyptus forest we passed by was the only living thing that Yunluo's camera could capture! After wandering along the Great Ocean Road for most of the day, the New Zealand-style pastoral scenery appeared before my eyes again~ I turned into a sandy and gravel path and set up my tripod under the scorching sun.

A small car came with dust rolling in, and I quickly got into the car~ After several NGs, I finally finished shooting the video material! The shoes were beaten to death on the beach by the waves. The death was glamorous! When we arrived at LochArdGorge, the light was not satisfactory, but witnessing the gorgeous sunset was also an unexpected surprise in the 19th century.

Bass Strait was a major shipping channel for supplying ships and transporting criminals or immigrants to the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. Unfortunately, on this rugged and desolate coast, the sea was often foggy, with strong winds and high waves, and a lack of lighthouses, making navigation extremely difficult and dangerous, and many ships sank here.

The most famous is the sinking of the Loch Ard, which gave the Loch Ard Grand Canyon its name. On 14 July 1949, a British immigrant ship named "Loch Ard" ran aground on its way to Melbourne. 1,000 people died and only one person survived. To commemorate the victims, later generations built a tomb.

The place was named "Loch Ard". The Loch Ard Grand Canyon is only about 100 kilometers away from the Apostle Rocks. Here you can see the rock landscape of the canyon up close, and you can go down the canyon ladder to the seaside and stroll to enjoy the scenery. Hotel and dinner Overnight in Port Campbell. Hotel: Portside Motel Price: RMB Rating: 5 points, not bad, clean and comfortable.

Dinner: It was already 9:30pm when I checked in to the hotel. All my energy was gone. I braved the rain and went to the nearby Rocks Beach Bar to pack two steaks (more than 200 Australian dollars) for dinner. When I got back to the hotel, I found that the careless waiter had forgotten to give me the sauce! In the past, this rock was a cape that protruded from the sea and connected to the land.

The erosion of the waves formed a round hole, which just formed a double arch, so it was named "London Bridge". At dusk on the 28th of the 19th century, the round hole connected to the land suddenly collapsed and separated from the mainland to form the broken bridge we see today. The power of nature is huge, and the landscape created by nature has a kind of magic that cannot be matched by man-made things.

TheArch: After years of erosion by the sea, the arch has become a crescent, small and delicate. I wonder how long this landscape can last? TheGrotto: At this attraction, you can see how the sea creates and destroys these cliff rocks. Early in the morning along the Great Ocean Road.

After visiting all the attractions listed above, it was not even 3pm yet. On the way back to Melbourne, facing the dazzling afternoon sun, even though Country Rock was flowing in the car and the beautiful scenery of the Great Ocean Road was swaying in front of the car window, it still couldn't stop the waves of fatigue from coming frequently. When passing through the small town of Warrnambool, I initially just wanted to buy a cup of coffee to refresh myself. (~^~)
