There are guest rooms all around and a parking space in front of the house. Yunluo and An Chuyu live in an independent red brick house, which is much larger than yesterday, clean and tidy, with two bedrooms, kitchen and living room, worth recommending. Since I didn't have time to take pictures, I simply cleaned up. I asked the locals about the location of the Twelve Apostles and walked back along the Great Ocean Road for about minutes.
I saw a road sign pointing to LOCHARD GORGE, which should be here. When I drove in, I found that there were three parking lots. Where was the Twelve Apostles? Look from left to right. After arriving at the last parking lot, there was still a long way to the viewing point. As the sun was about to set, Yunluo and An Chuyu were wearing jackets and running wildly in the wind.
It's past midnight and I haven't eaten yet. You can imagine how it feels. When I got to the end, I found that it was not there yet. I walked for another half a day before returning to the parking lot. Later I found out that Yunluo and An Chuyu were doing long-distance running today at Loch Ard Gorge, which is also a famous scenic spot. Scenery, scenery, scenery, park map, see how far Yunluo and An Chuyu ran with their tired bodies.
It was already past midnight when we drove back to town. Most of the restaurants and shops in the town were closed. Could it be that I was so unlucky? Suddenly I saw a restaurant still open. After a closer look, I found that it was Waves mentioned in the guide. I parked the car and went in to ask. They had everything they wanted to eat, so I ordered some dishes. The dish that impressed Yun Luo the most was...
Yunluo ordered ginger fish rice, which tasted very special and worth trying. After finishing the meal, the knife was OK. The waiters here were enthusiastic and responsive. When leaving, he actually said "goodbye" in Chinese to Yunluo and An Chuyu. This was the first time I heard a foreigner greet Yunluo and An Chuyu in Chinese, so I quickly said to the guy, "Your Chinese is very good."
The young man smiled shyly when he heard this. Well, this restaurant is worth recommending. Here is the restaurant's website: www.wavesportcampbell.com.au. He walked out of the restaurant. A police car drove over and stopped after seeing Yunluo and An Chuyu. Did Yunluo and An Chuyu commit a crime? Before he had time to think about it, the policeman opened his mouth and said "Hello".
I came here to practice speaking. But the two Chinese sentences before and after made Yunluo feel warm every time he thought of this town. Here is a summary of the attractions near Mendishu: If you come from the direction of Apollo Bay, when you approach Port Campbell, the three attractions of Gibson Steps, Mendishu, and Loch Ard Gorge will appear in sequence, not far away.
But you have to drive. There is a road sign for the Gibson Steps. On the left side of the forward direction; there is a road sign for the Disciples, but it does not say Disciples, it seems to be XX Park. On the right side of the road, there is a good paved road extending into it, where there is a sightseeing helicopter and a relatively conspicuous visitor center. When visiting, you need to walk through the underground passage across the highway to the other side to see the scenery.
There is a road sign for LochArdGorge Park. On the left hand side of the direction of travel, there are three viewing areas. You need to drive to the corresponding parking lot and then walk to view the scenery. When checking out. The host is a warm middle-aged woman, and she also told Yunluo and An Chuyu the location of the disciples again. After leaving the town and driving back a short distance, I saw a road sign that said XX Park.
This is it. I actually passed by here yesterday, but I didn't pay attention. You said it's such a famous attraction, why don't you write the names of the disciples? Let's get off the car quickly to make up for yesterday's regret. The spectacular 12 disciples from the helicopter. The spectacular 12 disciples. The toilet flush button in the visitor center feels great. I stayed here for about an hour.
Yunluo and An Chuyu started their return journey. When they passed through Campbell Town, they filled up their gas tanks and took photos. The sign of the gas station. Yunluo and An Chuyu filled up their gas tanks here, which was the most expensive on this trip. It seemed to be $100/liter. After passing through Port Campbell Town along the Great Ocean Road, you can reach The Arch and the famous London Bridge not far away.
After passing through the town, overlook the town from a high place. Arch Arch overlooking the scenery About London Bridge. In the past, it was connected to the mainland, but in 1990, something happened. What happened? See the picture: London Bridge London Bridge After leaving these two attractions, set the destination to Warrnambool Warrnambool, and walk a short distance forward and pass a small town.
The navigation system led Yunluo and An Chuyu off the Great Ocean Road and began to travel between the ranches. The roads connecting the ranches were in good condition, and from time to time, cattle and sheep on both sides of the ranch and large irrigation machines could be seen. It was really relaxing and pleasant to wander in the ranch scenery. Around noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove back to the Great Ocean Road and arrived at Warrnambool via Princes Highway.
Warrnambool is a place where you can watch whales, but it's a pity that it's not the season. When approaching the town, you can clearly feel the increase in vehicles, and S stores selling cars began to appear on both sides. This signal told Yunluo that this will be a very big town. Sure enough, after running wild for a few days, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally found some urban feeling here.
We had lunch at McDonald's. When we went in, we realized what cheap means. The meal cost only 10,000 yuan for four people. Yunluo didn't eat these things much in China, but today he thought they tasted good, especially the fries. Later in the trip, we had dinner at McDonald's several times, and the taste of the fries still makes Yunluo linger.
After dinner, we drove on Princes Highway to Melbourne. Shortly after we got on the highway, the navigation suddenly told Yunluo and An Chuyu to get off the highway, which was going to cause trouble. We ignored it and continued on. But after a few steps, a message appeared in front of us saying that the road was interrupted and we had to take a detour. While the IPAD still had a signal, we simply checked the map, turned around and walked back, and unexpectedly took the road that the navigation had originally pointed out.
After a short detour along this road, we successfully returned to Princes Highway. Beautiful! Someone said, is this navigation so accurate? Let Yunluo tell me. Because Yunluo didn't turn on the traffic update, the navigation would not know the road conditions. It just happened that Yunluo and An Chuyu wanted to take a detour. They drove for more than ten minutes.
Arriving near a farm, Yunluo was a little confused by a sign in front of him: "Road is blocked, please take a detour". There was only a bridge in front of him, the river was rushing below, and there were some sandbags on the roadside. I have read so many guides, but I have never seen such a tortuous way back to Melbourne. Although the floods in Queensland are well known to the world, Victoria is not so peaceful either.
Floods occasionally occur in some areas. I quickly got off the car to ask for directions. I asked the uncle walking his dog next to me, but he still couldn't explain it to me after several rounds. I had to look at the remaining map on the IPAD and found that there should be a detour ahead. So I got in the car. This section of the road was about a few kilometers away, and I walked a short section of gravel road. When passing a section of the road, I found a lot of sunburned water plants on both sides.
The air was filled with a fishy smell, and it seemed that a flood had passed through here not long ago. They did not take any detours. They returned to Princes Highway again. From then on, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally set foot on a smooth road. On the way back, they saw mainly inland scenery and pasture scenery, which seemed a bit dull compared to the previous two days, but there were occasional bright views.
When the car reached a crossroads in a small town, a church appeared on the roadside. The buildings around the intersection were clean and neat, the trees on the roadside looked well-organized, and the road was straight and wide. Although it was a crossroads, there were not many vehicles. The moment Yunluo and Anchu arrived, they were attracted by the quiet and fresh atmosphere here.
So there was the only time we stopped to take photos on the road. If you pass by here in the future, don't forget to visit this town - Terang. The road in the town At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Yunluo and Anchu arrived at their residence in Melbourne - Ashley Gardens BIG Holiday Village-Aspen Parks.
Yunluo and An Chuyu did not choose to live in the CBD, but chose this place about KM away from the CBD, mainly because it was the Australian Open. Most hotels in the CBD were full and expensive. In the spirit of budget travel, after layers of screening, they finally chose this one. There are buses to the CBD, large supermarkets and gas stations nearby.
When I was looking for this RV park along the highway, I was a little worried. The houses on both sides were not in a good area, and there were factories and second-hand car markets from time to time. When I arrived at the location, I had to check in at the gate first: park the car at the entrance and wait. Then I took the door key and the gate key for entering and exiting the park. After that, I put the latter into the key hole.
The gate barrier was lifted and the car could drive in. Since the whole area is closed and well managed, the environment inside is much better than outside. I finally put my mind at ease. This park is actually a member of BIG, a famous Australian caravan park company. BIG originated in 2000 when the owners of four caravan parks merged their brands.
Because they think "the wholeis greater than the sum of the parks". Today, there are more than 100 BIG caravan parks in Australia. Yunluo and Anchuyu have seen several of them as early as on the Great Ocean Road. BIG mainly provides services for those who love caravan travel (such as camping, water filling, air tank replacement, etc.).
It also provides accommodation facilities for family travelers. Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in the bedroom Family Deluxe Villa. The literal translation is a two-bedroom family deluxe villa, which is actually different from the concept of villas in the minds of Chinese people. Let's take a look at the pictures. Yunluo and An Chuyu's villa looks like a more advanced RV in the Villa Park.
Strictly speaking, the white thing in the picture is not a motorhome, but a "house with wheels". When traveling, a high-powered car is needed to tow it. Since there is a full set of kitchen equipment in the room, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided not to go into the city today, but to go to the supermarket to buy and cook Chinese food to comfort themselves. Coles is not far away, although it is still early.
But many stores were closed, so after shopping, they returned to their residence and started to work. The two people in my friend's house took on almost all the cooking work, so Yunluo was responsible for cutting the salmon. Before the time came, a sumptuous meal was ready. Yunluo and An Chuyu, who had not eaten Chinese food for several days, had blue eyes. Sitting at the dining table.
A breeze blew in from the window. Looking at the yard, I suddenly remembered the feeling of eating when I was a child. When I left, I asked the hotel reception to help me book a taxi for tomorrow morning, then filled up the car with gas and headed straight to Hertz in the CBD. Driving in the CBD is indeed a bit difficult to adapt to, with so many cars, so many signals, so many rules, and the hook-shaped turns that are unique to Melbourne.
It is easy to confuse people who are entering the city for the first time. Fortunately, Yunluo and Anchu met a lot of people who were not talkative, and LD drove well, and arrived at the return location in advance. The only thing to pay attention to when driving in the CBD is the hook-shaped turn. For what the hook-shaped turn is, please refer to Yunluo’s previous link when preparing for a trip. The hook-shaped turn sign on the road Hertz GG circled the car.
"Your car is in great condition," Yunluo said, "Yunluo and An Chuyu drove very carefully," and both laughed. We settled the bill and returned the car. After returning the car, GG took a color map of the CBD and marked several major attractions for Yunluo and An Chuyu. The urban hike began from then on! A brief introduction to Melbourne. It is the second largest city in Australia.
The capital of Victoria, a well-known international metropolis with a green area of % Melbourne has been rated as one of the most livable cities by the United Nations for many years. From 1990 to 2000, Melbourne was the capital of Australia. Yunluo and Anchu met the CBD on foot. It is not big, mainly consisting of 10 horizontal streets, 2 vertical streets, and the Yarra River.
The horizontal streets are Flinders St, Collins St, Bourke St, and the vertical streets are Swan Stone St, Elizabeth St, Willam St. When walking in the city of Melbourne, you can't do without a means of transportation - Freecitycircletram, commonly known as the little red car. This is a free sightseeing tram set up by the government for tourists. It has N stops and runs every minute, which can take you around the CBD.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Station sign Little Red Car When the little red car arrived at the intersection of Spring St and Flinder St, Yunluo and An Chuyu got off the car. After getting off the car. There are so many people, huh? Why don't they go to the CBD? Looking ahead, there are several railways. Suddenly, my friend slapped his thigh and said with a red face (excited), "It's the Australian Open!" My friend came to Australia on this trip.
I kept talking about the Australian Open, but because Yunluo and An Chuyu cancelled their plan to go to the city to watch the Australian Open last night, I felt that I had missed it. Let's follow the crowd and walk all the way. If you are driving, try not to choose a toll road sign. Sure enough, the Australian Open Center appeared in front of us.
Today's matchup is: There are quite a lot of people. Yunluo and An Chuyu have no plans to watch the game. They leave the Australian Open Center and cross the Yarra River along the road. They go to the CBD through the big park on the street. People who practice rowing come to the river. There is a rowing club by the river, and many people are preparing to go into the water. Rowing.
When the park is close to the CBD, the Melbourne Arts Center The Arts Center appears in front of you. There is a market nearby, so go and have a look. The Yarra River sightseeing carriage returns to the CBD along the bridge. The most concentrated attractions at this intersection are: Flinders Railway Station, Federation Square, and St. Paul Cathedral.
Train Station Train Station Train Station Church Church Church Church Souvenirs for sale It's noon, so let's have some food. HungryJack is also a local fast food restaurant chain in Australia, but the taste is average and the price is more expensive than McDonald's, so I don't recommend it. After dinner, Yunluo and An Chuyu turned north and started sightseeing casually. I was tired from shopping in the afternoon.
Come to the Royal Arcade for a cup of coffee. It is located in the city center of Melbourne, Australia, and is one of the world's most famous existing arcade buildings. It is a historical heritage building in Melbourne, Victoria. There is a short and narrow indoor street in this arcade, connecting Little Collins Street and Bourke Street.
And it connects to Elizabeth Street in the west, so this indoor street is in the shape of a T. Coffee, drinks, bill, because when I was visiting St. Paul's Cathedral in the morning, I learned that there was a choir event at 6 pm, so I had to eat early in the afternoon. I accidentally saw the "Noodle House" on the roadside and decided to try it. Unexpectedly, the food in this restaurant is large and delicious.
The price is reasonable, and I highly recommend the beef tongue rice. Most of the waiters here are Chinese. After chatting, I learned that they have many branches in Melbourne. Since I don't remember the address, you can search for menya, melbourne in Google Maps to find this restaurant. Street view, I came to the church at 6 o'clock. The choir is all male compatriots, mainly boys.
I thought I could just listen, but I didn't expect to participate in it myself. At different points, everyone stood up to pray to the priest, or sang together, but we could only listen. The one who impressed Yunlu the most was a big brother in front of his left. His voice was loud and deep, and he was very pious when he sang.
At the end, the priest asked everyone to bless the people affected by the disaster in Queensland and a church member who had just passed away. Yunluo and An Chuyu's CFO expressed their love to the people of Queensland on behalf of Yunluo and An Chuyu. Taking photos is prohibited during the event. Let's post a street "painter". After the ceremony, it was already past 12:00, and Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived in Yarra.
Quietly feel the Yarra River gradually going into the night. The gouache paintings on the ground are getting cooler as the sky gets darker. The LD of my friend's family needs to find a place to change clothes, so Yunluo and An Chuyu sit down nearby to rest. Take out the IPAD and choose tomorrow's seat on Virgin's website in advance. When it gets dark, suddenly hear a hissing sound.
Before I knew what was going on, I saw a small fireball erupting from the top of the pillar next to me. After a few times, the flame gradually turned into a fireball, and every time it erupted, my face was burned. It turned out that this was the legendary Yarra River fire show, which is located near the Crown Casino and takes place every weekend night at the top of the hour. I was so lucky! (~^~)
