The blue sky and white clouds, coupled with the changing light and shadow, form a series of excellent pictures. Here is another picture overlooking the coast from the hillside. Drive back to the main road, continue along Preservation Rd, and stop at a scenic beach for a tour. The railway on the seaside just happened to have a train passing by the chairs on the seaside. The coastal highway gradually ended, and Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Bass Hwy.

Burnie is a relatively large town, and here we can see the shadow of the S store. In Australia, people who love to travel by motorcycle can see the roadside scenery everywhere. Soon after passing Burnie, the small town of Windeye appeared in front of us. Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to stay here for lunch and have lunch at Subway. It cost $10 per person. I have to say a few more words here.

Yunluo believes that Subway is another solution to replace McDonald's. Australian ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches they make taste great. More importantly, Subway's prices are affordable. An inch-long tuna sandwich only costs a knife, and the most expensive beef sandwich costs just a few more. It can feed two people, and it is really not more expensive than in China. I highly recommend it.

In Windeye, Yunluo and An Chuyu originally planned to visit a tulip farm not far from here. When they checked the map today, they found that there was actually a lighthouse here, so they added it to their schedule. Driving from the town onto Highway C, there were large pastures on both sides. Following the road signs, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the farm smoothly. Although they knew that this was not the season for tulips to bloom.

But Yunluo and Anchuyu were still excited to visit, and they enjoyed the heaven and earth here. The lilies blooming on the roadside were fragrant. The life of the tulips outside the farm store was far away. The history of the farm was the scenery of the tulips in bloom. The lighthouse is not far from the farm. The lighthouse alone is not outstanding, but if you walk along the viewing path next to the lighthouse to the viewing platform.

Or you can drive directly to the viewing platform not far away, and the view will suddenly become wider. Looking back, the lighthouse, farm and sea form a harmonious picture, and looking towards the sea, you can see the broad sea, blue and green water and the small town on the coast. Its beauty index can definitely be ranked first among the lighthouse landscapes.

Here Yunluo and An Chuyu met an elderly couple traveling in an RV. They planned to travel around Tasmania for a month, which was really enviable and jealous. Interestingly, after saying goodbye here, Yunluo and An Chuyu met the elderly couple twice on the road today. Especially when they said goodbye the second time, Yunluo and An Chuyu said "See you later".

The old man also asked if Yunluo and Anchu would meet again? As a result, they met again. Maybe this is the indissoluble fate! Schematic diagram of the lighthouse scenic area. The lighthouse looks back at the lighthouse. Looking back at the lighthouse, overlooking the sea, the green sea and the land... Leaving the lighthouse, along Highway C, it soon merges with Bass Highway. From then on, there is no trail to find.

The road sign next to it said that the front was Rocky Cape National Park. Hmm? I casually flipped through the national park monthly pass I bought in Cradle Mountain. It actually said this national park, and the diverse rocks are the main landscape of this park. Now Yunluo and An Chuyu can make better use of their money, so they drove here according to the road sign to find out.

Unexpectedly, after finally reaching the park gate, they found that it was locked and they could not enter. After getting off the car and looking at the road conditions, Yunluo and An Chuyu's car could not move forward even with the door open. This is simply a paradise for off-road vehicles. Haha, it's not far, so Yunluo and An Chuyu have been here! The locked gate and the rugged path left no suspense for the rest of the journey.

Yunluo and Anchuyu arrived at the northernmost tip of the Tasmanian Island at about 10:00 pm. Stanley is a fishing town by the sea, where the famous Tasmanian lobster is produced. There is a saying in LonelyPlanet that "even the children of poor families here hold lobsters in their hands", which shows this.

The Nut Mountain in the town is the town's iconic landscape, attracting countless tourists every year. When approaching the town, the fairy-tale map filled Yunluo and Anchu with imagination. For accommodation reservations at Stanley, you can refer to Yunluo's previous departure preparation post. The only thing to note is.

All reservations need to be checked in at Stanley Hotel in the town. The lady at the reception was warm and kind, and helped Yunluo and An Chuyu with useful information about nearby wild animals and buying lobsters. Town scenery Yunluo and An Chuyu's current residence is an independent sea view house: Abbeys Spa Cottage. This small villa has three bedrooms.

A living room with a two-person spa bathtub, an open kitchen with a full set of kitchenware such as an oven and an induction cooker. The room is equipped with a washing machine and a dryer, which is really tailor-made for Yunluo and An Chuyu. The furnishings in the house are classical and exquisite, full of a warm atmosphere. Yunluo and An Chuyu are very satisfied with this house, and throw the clothes accumulated in the past few days into the washing machine before going out.

When I get back at night, I can dry them. House exterior bedroom...furnishings...tidy up. Yunluo and An Chuyu went out and ran to the seafood store in the town. From a distance, they could see the eye-catching red lobsters on the roof. When they got to the store, they saw that the lobsters were alive and kicking, making people want to buy them all. Today's price: fresh lobsters below kg are knives/kg, and knives above kg are knives/kg.

Frozen knives/kg. Here is a reminder that lobsters cooked on the same day and placed on ice are also considered fresh lobsters. But how come this price is much more expensive than the lobsters you buy in Sydney Fish Market? Is it really true that "where you come from is not as good as where you gather"? What is the real result? The answer will be revealed in the Sydney chapter. The lobster shops will close at 12:00 am, and everyone will discuss it quickly.

I decided to get a lobster, which was exactly 100 kg and was very tempting. After buying the lobster, I went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. Today's dinner was ready. I put the ingredients back to my residence and went to TheNut early. It was already five o'clock when I arrived at the Nut, and the cable car station was about to close, so I only bought a one-way cable car ticket, which was 100 yuan per person.

When we got to the mountain, the wind was stronger and the scenery was better. We walked along the path on the mountain and saw strange potholes on the road. At that time, we only knew that it was a nest of seabirds and we could only see them at night. Later, we collected a lot of detailed, careful, meticulous and patient information.

It turns out that this is the nest of Short-tailed Shearwaters. These birds fly to the Arctic in July every year, and fly back to Stanley to breed in July. The one-way migration takes weeks and covers kilometers. They never land during this process. Therefore, scientists cannot know their migration route.

When the breeding season comes, they will dig holes on the surface until they are meters deep underground. After laying eggs, the male and female birds begin to take turns incubating the eggs. They change on Mondays. When the chicks are born, they will feed them until they are two adult birds in size, and then fly away from here at the beginning of the month and head to the Arctic. From the beginning of the month to the beginning of the month, these chicks will no longer eat. Their weight will gradually drop by half.

At the same time, their wings begin to grow. A week after their parents leave, these inexperienced chicks will take to the sky and begin their journey to the Arctic. Regarding Stanley's food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment, here is a picture I found online. The wind on the top of the mountain is getting stronger and stronger, and it is a bit difficult to open your eyes. The grass on the top of the mountain is whistling. This kind of wind should be level 100.

When I looked at Nut from a distance, I thought it was just a small hill, but it took a long time to walk on it. Rainbow on the sea Shrimp boats in the fishing port were covered with dark clouds. Gradually walking down the road to the small woods in the mountains, the wind finally died down a lot. Suddenly. The unusual noise in the bushes attracted the attention of Yunluo and An Chuyu. He leaned down and looked into the woods, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.

It can be said that this is a major discovery in the history of Stanley zoology in the 21st century: Yunluo and Anchu actually encountered several wallabies on the small Nut Mountain. On the roads in Tasmania, Yunluo and Anchu encountered countless wallabies that died in car accidents, but they never had the chance to see them alive and kicking. They thought they would miss the kangaroos completely on this trip to Tasmania.

Unexpectedly, the miracle finally appeared in the most incredible place - the steep and narrow Nut Mountain. The scientific name of this sand kangaroo is Pademelon, which comes from the word of the local indigenous people. Unlike the big kangaroo Kangaroo that Yunluo and An Chuyu often talk about, this sand kangaroo is much smaller, about meters long and weighs up to kg. They mainly live in the woods.

They only come to the open space not far from the forest at dusk. They are a species unique to Tasmania. After playing hide-and-seek with this group of kangaroos for a long time, Yunluo and Anchuyu reluctantly left the forest. The forest where the kangaroos were found followed the path back to the other side of the mountain top. The wind was still strong and the scenery was remarkable. Meadow…

Overlooking the town Overlooking the town After the rain, the sky cleared up. The swaying cable car went down the mountain. The cable car center returned to "home". Everyone started to cook again. Today's chefs were the two LDs. My friend was responsible for washing clothes, and Yunluo and I dealt with lobsters. After a while, a sumptuous dinner was served on the table. I praised my hard-working friends and LDs. I took a quick photo.

Big lobster, big lobster, sumptuous dinner. This Tasmanian lobster is really delicious, especially the meat in the lobster legs, which has a fresh taste and a light seawater flavor. Yunluo thinks it is the most delicious part of the lobster. There is a lot of meat on the lobster, and Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't finish it in the end.

What to do? Finally, Yunluo has a chance to appear. To know the fate of the lobster, please be patient and continue reading. At this time, night has fallen. Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to start trying the secret weapon in this house. There are mountains of wood in the backyard and the hallway. You will feel sorry for them if you don't use them. What to do with them?

Don't tell Yunluo that it's for bed pads. Well, the answer is revealed. It's because there is a real fire fireplace "sat" in the living room where Yunluo and An Chuyu met. On such a "warm and cold" night, it's time to let it serve the people. Put the wood strips that are easier to ignite in the fireplace, put two pieces of ignition materials, and the fire will catch as soon as the match approaches.

The next step is to greet the thin wood, medium wood, and thick wood, anyway, they are all wood. The living room fire at dawn... continue the fire. Putting aside the things on this side, Yunluo should cook. Looking at the leftover rice and the scraps from cooking celery, Yunluo has already made up his mind. Let's make seafood porridge that people in South China love to see, but Yunluo and An Chuyu's ingredients are more powerful.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to call it "Tasmanian lobster porridge". Boil the porridge, add the lobster head cut by a friend, and stir it from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot. Because it is cooked rice, it can be served after 15 minutes. At this time, the porridge has turned golden yellow. When serving, add some celery leaves instead of coriander. It will be perfect if there are two slices of ginger when cooking.

On such a cool summer night, half leaning on the sofa, drinking steaming, sweet lobster porridge. The flames of the fireplace jumped happily, the fresh sea breeze blew from the window, and the sea was deep and calm under the moonlight. Oh my God, is there a more comfortable life than this! Yesterday's days in Stanley made Yunluo feel unsatisfied.

So today, LD and I got up early and drove to the town's pier to check it out. The town's pier is not big. There is also a camping site nearby. When we approached the pier, we found a lobster factory. Most of the lobsters should be shipped to various places through this factory. Here is another photo of the lighthouse yesterday. The most eye-catching thing on the pier is the various shrimp boats and shrimp cages.

Continue, continue, at the small pier. There is actually a small aquarium. But it is closed now, so I can only see it from the outside. On the pier, several fishermen attracted Yunluo's attention. When I went up to take a look, I actually got a big fresh squid. Yunluo was itching to try sea fishing. I wonder if I will have the chance to try sea fishing again on this trip.

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

The sign at the pier tells people about the common fish here and the fishing regulations. The ruler below can help you measure whether the fish you catch meets the regulations. Fishing in the Tasmanian sea does not require a license except for certain species, but don't forget to buy a license when fishing in freshwater. Explanation of the license Overlooking the scenery from the other side of the town.

At the turning point of the town, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to the house to pack their luggage and started today's journey. Let's take another look at this cottage - the kitchen and foyer... Today we have to go back a bit, along Bass Hwy all the way east, passing the town that Yunluo and An Chuyu passed by yesterday and directly to Devonport, the third largest city in Tasmania.

If you choose to visit Tasmania Island on the "Spirit of Tasmania" cruise ship from Melbourne, this is where the ship docks. After driving around here for a while, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove south to a very distinctive town, Sheffield. Going along Highway B, the two sides returned to the pastoral scenery.

Suddenly, a very unique small pavilion attracted Yunluo and An Chuyu, so they stopped to check it out. It turned out to be an "automatic" kiosk, and the price of everything was marked. If you need to buy something, you can just put the money here, and it's all up to you. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought a small box of strawberries, which tasted good. But compared to the big cherries a few days ago.

The impact is obviously not enough. The farm gate is on the road. At noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the mural town of Sheffield. Back then, this town was nothing special. I don’t know who came up with the idea of ​​letting painters paint on the walls of the houses in the town. Over time, this has become a feature of this place. There are about several murals in the town. Info of the town.

Near the center is the Mural Park with the most murals. Mural mural mural murals. I had lunch at a restaurant in the town. The taste was average, so I don't recommend it. Random photos in the town. Because the IPAD still had no signal, I looked at the map on the wall in the town's Info Center, got some information, set the navigation and continued on.

Along Highway B, near Elizabeth Town, we drove onto Bass Highway, which we hadn't seen for a long time. We tried flooring the accelerator twice, but the engine's response was a bit delayed, and the acceleration was not obvious after the speed increased. So we decided to enter the fuel saving mode. After driving along Bass Highway for a while, we turned left onto Highway B and then onto Highway B.

Following the road, you can finally drive onto West Tamar Highway and arrive at the famous Tamar Valley Wine Route. The Tamar Valley is an area located on both sides of the Tamar River, with pastures and wine estates scattered throughout. However, Yunluo and Anchu met "the real purpose of this trip is not wine", but to search for lavender.

There are two places to see lavender in the Tamar Valley, and the lavender blooms between February and February every year. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu came from the west side of the Tamar Valley, the Lavender House, which is closer to Yunluo and An Chuyu, was the first choice. The Lavender House is located in Rowella on the west bank of the Tamar Valley.

The address is: Waterton Hall Road, Rowela. Following the guidance of the navigation and road signs, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the Lavender House smoothly. Everyone got off the car excitedly. There was a small flower field on the side of the road, but the flowers were gone. It didn't matter. The fence not far away hinted to Yunluo and An Chuyu that the large area of ​​lavender was inside.

As they hurried to the front, Yunluo and An Chuyu could not believe their eyes: there were vast expanses of land in front of them, but not a single lavender. What was going on? Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed to the store next door for help. The store lady was really nice and enthusiastically told Yunluo and An Chuyu.

The lavender planted here is not very big, it is the one near the parking lot, and it was harvested a few days ago. They mainly process lavender-related products here, and the processing plant is behind the store. Is the lavender trip over so hastily? The clothes that my friend's LD bought for this trip have not been used yet?

In line with the principle of "no waste, no giving up", Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to continue to visit the next lavender farm. Although this variable will increase Yunluo and An Chuyu's itinerary today, the route is unfamiliar, and the lavender there may have been harvested, but it is often these uncertain factors that bring unexpected surprises to the journey.
