Casino, restaurant at night It's getting late, and I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning, so I'll call it a day. I stopped a taxi and the guy driving it was quite handsome. I learned from chatting in the car that the guy was from Pakistan and had been in Melbourne for years. He stayed here after graduating from studying abroad. He had a formal job from Monday to Friday and drove a taxi on weekends.

Yunluo's friend's LD also took the opportunity to gossip and asked the young man if he was married. The young man said, "I don't even have a girlfriend." The friend's LD was fooling around again, saying that you are the most handsome taxi driver Yunluo has ever seen, and your car is really good, etc., which made the young man very happy. After the two sides happily exchanged their views on China-Pakistan relations.

Yunluo and Anchu met a knife. Say goodbye to the boy and wish him to buy a big house soon. The happy day also came to an end! It rained a little this morning. Yunluo and Anchu got up early to pack up. They arrived at the entrance of the RV park at 6:30 with their suitcases. The reception was not open yet, so they just put the door key in the recycling box at the door.

It was time, but the taxi hadn't arrived yet. Just as I was muttering, a Holden taxi turned in. There was a large gas tank in the trunk of this car, so Yunluo had no choice but to share the passenger seat with a big box. The driver was an Indian guy, who probably hadn't woken up yet and didn't talk much. There were a lot of cars on the highway, and it seemed that Melbourne's Monday morning rush hour was not easy to get through.

About half an hour later, Yunluo and Anchu met the airport. The cost of these two taxi rides was about the same as renting a car for an extra day, but it was more flexible. Today was the first time Yunluo and Anchu took an Australian domestic flight. Check-in was very simple. They handed the itinerary they printed to the counter, without showing any documents, and checked in their luggage.

Everything is OK! The distance from Melbourne to Hobart is not far. The food and entertainment on the plane are charged, but in fact they are not much more expensive than on the street. After about minutes of flight, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally set foot on the land of Tasmania. Tasmania is the only island state in Australia. It covers an area of ​​about square kilometers.

Forty percent of its area is listed as a national park and nature reserve, with rich natural resources, which makes countless tourists linger here. In order to protect its animals and plants from external influences. All meat, fruits, etc. cannot be brought to the island. Hobart is the second largest ancient city in Australia after Sydney, with a population of about 10,000.

Surrounded by Mount Wellington on three sides, the town retains a large number of colonial relics. Airport welcome speech Hobart Airport is very small, with only one boarding gate, and you need to walk to get on and off the plane. Yunluo and An Chuyu took the flight. After leaving the airport, cross the road and go straight to Hertz. There are a lot of people renting cars today, so it took a while to get there.

Moreover, the car rental process here is somewhat different from that in Melbourne. If there are multiple drivers, the driver's license information of all people must be entered into the computer. For this, the uncle typed on the keyboard for a long time. Finally, the uncle told Yunluo and An Chuyu that the Camry was no longer available, and replaced it with a RUKUS of the same level. This car is not available in China.

It looks a bit like the Great Wall Cool Bear, and it's quite new. But it's a bit hard to fit the luggage of four people. So I went back to the counter to argue, and finally upgraded it to Aurion. This car is not available in China. It's actually a large-displacement sports version of Camry, with slightly different appearance and interior, equipped with V engine (the ones on sale have been changed to V).

This car is more relaxed in power output than the previous Camry, especially when driving on mountain roads. But if you want to find passion, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult. The suspension of this car is still tuned for comfort. I tried flooring the accelerator twice on the road: put the car in S gear, stepped on the accelerator, and waited for a second before the engine started roaring.

But the acceleration is still relatively gentle. It's not easy to feel the push back, I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that this car has already run 10,000 kilometers. After talking about cars for a while, I quickly got back to the topic. It was already past eleven o'clock after I got the car, so I decided to go to an oyster farm very close to the airport for lunch.

This restaurant has been mentioned by many netizens. It is called Barilla Bay Oysters Farm. It is located in Tasman Highway Cambridge TAS. Its biggest feature is oysters. Oysters are a delicacy you must experience when you come to Australia, and Tasmania is one of the best oyster producing areas in Australia.

Although I have tried the Great Ocean Road before, I am more looking forward to this meal today. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was not yet open, so I wandered around the restaurant for a while. Restaurant exterior view and menu The grass behind the restaurant is paved with oyster shells. They are all masterpieces of diners. The road leads all the way to the cages of oysters on the beach. Finally, it is lunch time.

We ordered some dishes and a Mixed Dozen of oysters. Each dish has a plate of oysters, and you can choose how to cook them. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose two raw dishes and one cooked dish. Yunluo prefers the raw dish: the oysters are added with the hotel's seasoning, one is similar to shallot juice, and the other is red wine with some minced garlic. Now I think about it.

This is the place where Yunluo thinks the oysters taste the best. I never saw the way of adding green onions again in the later trips. The only drawback is that the waiters here are not so enthusiastic. I was busy eating and only remembered to take a photo when there was only one oyster left. A kind of flounder chicken breast, a meal cost $10.

Because today is Monday, they have no chance to see the famous Salamanca Market in Hobart, so Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go to Richmond, a small town located 1,000 kilometers northeast of Hobart. It was once a strategic military fortress and prisoner detention station, and now has a population of about 1,000. They parked the car on the side of the road.

Walk along the road to the Richmond Bridge built in 1999. The river under the bridge flows quietly, and there are large green areas on both sides of the river. Residents walking their dogs pass by from time to time. In the air, there are only the sounds of flowing water, birdsong and happy laughter. The beauty here is intoxicating. Richmond's historical buildings Richmond Bridge Houses on the shore of Richmond Bridge Diving.

The ducks on the bridge overlooking the other side of the river, there is a grassy slope, the children are keen to roll down from it. Yunluo and An Chuyu couldn't help but imitate and join in, and rest on the lawn when they were tired. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu's movements are not so graceful, here are some photos of the children. I can't help but say something here.

If you come to Hobart, don't miss this beautiful town. Continue, strange bird... On the hillside not far away, there is St. John's Church built in 1930, which is the first Roman Catholic church in Australia. Church with a cross pattern of trees inside the church church history wall leave Richmond. Arrive at about 10:00 am to the residence of Yunluo and Anchuyu today.

Clovelly House in RoseBay is a B&B. B&B is the abbreviation of Bed & Breakfast, which is synonymous with family hotels. Living under the same roof with the owner here can allow you to experience more of the local customs and culture. Yunluo and An Chuyu parked the car in the yard. After knocking on the door several times and no one answered, they opened the door to look for the owner.

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the aroma of baking cakes. On such a sunny afternoon, it was really intoxicating. The hostess Fei (I don't know the English spelling) came out at this time. After greeting, she moved the luggage into the room. The scenery on the way back. The key to the door... After coming out of the room, everyone had a happy expression on their faces.

This place even surpassed Yunluo and Anchuyu's satisfaction. The interior of the house has warm colors, simple but tasteful furniture and furnishings, and excellent quality of carpets, bedding and towels. The courtyard outside is square meters, which is neatly trimmed. Through the courtyard wall, you can see the famous Tasman Bridge, and the quiet Derwent River flows under the bridge.

From inside to outside, it is very pleasing. In this situation, everyone asked if they could stay here for one more day, but unfortunately the room fee had been paid. However, the charm of this place can be seen. The living room where Yunluo and An Chu met, the vacant guest room, the corner of the courtyard, the street, the houses nearby are generally beautiful and neat, backed by mountains and facing the water, it is a fairly wealthy community.

Yunluo and An Chuyu were chatting enthusiastically when the hostess invited them to have afternoon tea. English afternoon tea is a standard service in many B&Bs, where the host will prepare hot tea, milk, bread and other food for the guests to enjoy. So Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the Octagon House, which is the most mentioned place on the Internet, to have tea, and two friends from Melbourne came to visit.

Jay and his wife. A group of people ate and chatted in the Octagon House. Yunluo and An Chuyu decided not to go into the city in the afternoon and spend a few more hours here. The interior of the Octagon House The exterior of the Octagon House The pointer pointed to six o'clock. At this time, most places in the city no longer require parking fees. So they drove into the city to find a Chinese restaurant mentioned in the guide.

This restaurant called "Congee Noodles and Rice" is located next to Mayfair Plaza Motel. The rice bowl and fried noodles tasted good, and the total cost was $. 10. Restaurant exterior view After dinner, we went to the nearby pier for sightseeing. Since the pier parking lot is free after the time, we parked the car on the road very close to the pier and walked to the pier.

After buying a parking ticket from the meter, you need to put it in front of the windshield. The latest parking time for this ticket is up to the time. There is a famous Mures restaurant here, but I didn't have the chance to try it this time. Boats in the port, sailboats, and fishing boats returning to the port. Chat with the crew waiting on the shore. Many boats here catch a kind of fish, mainly for the Japanese market.

Usually fishing boats have to go out to sea for a week. Unknown buildings with mottled light and shadow Although I didn't stay in Hobart for too long this time, the historical buildings that can be seen everywhere in this city are not only well-preserved, but also harmoniously unified in architectural style, without too much damage from modern buildings. It is Yunluo's favorite city during this trip.

This was the day with the longest driving distance that Yunluo and Anchu had experienced so far. In the morning, after having breakfast in the Octagonal House, the friend's LD left the gifts he had prepared in advance - window paper-cuts, and the book "Little Beans and Little Beans" bought at the Capital Airport to the hostess. After taking a last look at this beautiful house, Yunluo and Anchu drove onto the Tasman Bridge.

We passed through the city of Hobart and headed towards our destination. When we drove along Brooker Hwy and turned onto the bridge to Bridgewater, we were all surprised to see countless black swans living in the river on both sides. We quickly parked the car not far from the shore. At this time, the water surface was slightly rippled, and the swans were on the calm water far from the shore.

After a while, we decided to continue along Highway B, which has better scenery. Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, a large number of black swans appeared on the water surface by the road again, and they were closer to the shore than before. There was a group of swans "walking" on the water surface, a family of seven, which was particularly conspicuous. This place is far away from the mainstream road and there is no noise.

The cries of swans sounded like the sound of nature. It was perfect to watch swans here. Not far from here, Yunluo and An Chuyu stopped at a roadside kiosk again. An old lady dressed in a proper manner. Wearing Burberry glasses, she was selling her own fruits on the roadside. Tasmanian cherries, apricots, and tomatoes all looked so tempting.

Let's have some of each. I highly recommend big cherries and apricots. Cherries are bright purple. 100g/kg, half the price of similar varieties in Beijing, but the taste is much better. The taste of apricots is also very good, I don't know how to describe it, haha! We ate fruits and listened to songs on the way. Everyone couldn't help but sigh, "Look at what a farmer he is!" It was almost noon.

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

Passing by the town of New Norfolk, this town is located beside the Derwent River and is beautiful and quiet. The town introduces the street view, and then drives onto Lyell Hwy, with pastures on both sides. When driving to the town of Gretna, black swans were found on the water by the road again, although there were fewer than last time, but they were closer to the shore.

Stop here and capture the beautiful moment. Gretna town sign passes Hamilton, and there is a pattern made of stones on the hill beside the road. It seems that Yue will hold a sheep show. When there is road construction, you must obey the traffic lights. Lunch was solved in the town of Ouse. There was only one restaurant open. Yunluo and An Chuyu, the Chinese people, attracted the attention of the locals.

Restaurant interior: display cabinets selling light bulbs and fuses. Yunluo and Anchu's lunch and a group photo of the fruits they bought today. Tempting big cherries. Leaving Ouse, the road begins to shuttle through the woods between the mountains. In fact, from the beginning of today's journey, you can see various animals that have been hit and killed on the roadside from time to time. They are mostly wallabies, wombats, hares, crows and the like.

Most of the crows were hit while eating dead animals on the roadside. This is the reason why birds die for food. Even so, it is still difficult to encounter wild animals when driving during the day, because wallabies and wombats are not active during the day. Therefore, try to avoid driving in the early morning or at night on Tasmania Island. It's not far.

Yunluo and Anchuyu came to a scenic spot on this trip - Tarraleah Hydropower Station. The construction of this hydropower station began around 2000 and it was put into operation in 2010. It uses the water resources of the Derwent River and Lake St. Clair to generate electricity to meet people's growing demand for energy. Introduction to the hydropower station... Yunluo likes this sentence very much.

Thinking Big, Building Bigger, there is a restaurant here. There are no famous attractions on the road behind the hydroelectric power station. From time to time, there are signs telling you where to see the scenery nearby. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stop, fully enjoying the feeling of being on the road. When encountering dangerous roads in the mountains, there will most likely be signs suggesting speed limits.

Don't show off your driving skills here. After going through countless bends and ups and downs, the sign on the roadside ahead caught Yunluo's attention: Nelson Falls. This waterfall is about meters high and can be reached by walking meters. The advantage of this place is that the air is extremely moist and fresh. It is a very outstanding walking and sightseeing route that surpasses any place on this trip.

In such an environment, LD also excitedly practiced jogging. Introduction to the waterfall: A close look at the waterfall... At about 12:00 p.m., Yunluo and Anchu arrived at the town of Queenston. Here is a reminder that before Queenston, we will have to cross the last mountain, and the mountain road here is steeper than the previous ones, not only with many bends and steep slopes, but also the car is driving along the outer cliff.

What I caught a glimpse of was the deep valley. The large exposed rocks were the result of the mining industry in the past, and the thin guardrails made people feel a little uneasy. Therefore, please concentrate and drive safely here. Queenstown is located in the west of Tasmania, with a population of about 10,000 people. Mining is still the main industry of this town. However, mining has caused great damage to the environment.

The mining industry has been restricted and the tourism economy has been gradually developed. When they arrived in the town, they quickly found the Imperial Hotel: this hotel has been in business since 1999 and is also a historical building. When they checked in at the hotel, they found a problem. At first, they couldn't find anyone except the chef sitting in the reception. The chef enthusiastically told Yunluo and An Chuyu.

After 12:00, I had to go to the bar to find someone, and the bar staff would take over. After I found the girl, I waited for a long time before she finished her work. She flipped through the reservation form on the table for a long time, and finally said, "There may be a small problem. I can only give you a suite and a standard room without a bathroom." This is not possible. Yunluo and An Chuyu had booked two suites.

Just to have a bathroom. After negotiating with MM, it seemed that she was powerless. MM said that if it was not possible, you should look at other hotels first, and Yunluo can refund the full amount. So Yunluo and An Chuyu drove around the town again. There was a hotel on the hillside on another street that was not bad. It was big and new, and the old man was also very nice. Knife/room.

The two LDs didn't check-in together when they were at Empire Hotel just now, so they wanted to take a look at the room at Empire Hotel before refunding the money. The door of this room looked really bad, and the inside was OK, but the things were a bit old. There were four beds in the room, and the LDs immediately decided: no need to change, four people stay in one room, and refund the remaining one. (~^~)
