Section 1008: Ten Years of Whitening



They met a young man who was jogging and he enthusiastically explained to Yunluo in detail how to take a shortcut, pass the famous artificial surfing beach (wavelagoon), and walk to the restaurant at the end of the breakwater by the sea to enjoy a frozen drink and lunch.

In Darwin, monuments commemorating the heavy losses caused by the Japanese bombing during World War II can be seen everywhere. On the breakwater at the southern end of Darwin, Yunluo and An Qingju also saw one (in comparison, China suffered much more damage from the Japanese during World War II, but Yunluo and An Qingju rarely see such memorial buildings in China.)

When Yunluo and An Qingjue walked back to the city, they found that they no longer needed to walk along the ground road to the high Darwin city. They could just take the elevator in the shopping mall building on the north side of the waterfront green space and walk along the skywalk to the hedral. This church, which was built in 1902, was later destroyed by a hurricane. The building that Yunluo and An Qingjue saw was rebuilt in 1975. It looks more modern, but some of the remains of the old building have been preserved and integrated into the new building. This Anglican church building has won an architectural award.

This is the old town hall building, which is also located at the south end of Smith Street, diagonally opposite the Catholic Church. This building, built in 1883, was also destroyed by a hurricane. Now only the ruins remain and are protected:

These are some photos of jewelry in the window of a jewelry store in Smithmall (Smith Street Shopping District) at the south end of Smithst. (Smith Street). It was Sunday, so all the stores in Smithmall (Smith Street Shopping District) were closed. Yunluo and An Qingju could only look at the jewelry outside the window. <. This is the bar next to the drop-off point of the "Darwin Passenger Transport Center" (er) on the first day when Yunluo and An Qingju arrived at it. It is always bustling and crowded:

We returned to the hotel around 5:10, took a bath and rested for a while, and set off around 6:10. We went to Arket (Mindil Beach Sunset Market) located in the north of Darwin city. This is the opening date of the (Mindil Beach Sunset Market): The opening hours are: every Thursday from 5pm to 10pm, every Sunday from 4pm to 9pm. But Yunluo and An Qingju happened to go on Sunday this time. It felt that the market only started to get really lively after the sun went down and people enjoyed the sunset. <(Mindil Beach Sunset Market) Opening hours: (Mindil Beach Sunset Market) is located behind the beach by the sea, separated from the beach by a sand ridge about 2.5 meters high. It is sparsely populated everywhere in Australia.

Especially in these remote areas. There are not many people, so it is rare to see so many people coming to the market. Yes, it is the market in the sense of Yunluo and Anqingju in China. There are a lot of people, mainly selling various food, and also selling various groceries, and there are performances showing their talents. There are even politicians who express their political views here. <(Mindil Beach Sunset Market) is set up under a big tree at the speech point to attract attention. The cartoons placed here are for curiosity, so just take a look:

It was already 8:00 pm, and Yunluo and An Qingjue had to leave because they wanted to go back to take a shower and take a nap before taking the 1:40 a.m. flight to Sydney. When Yunluo and An Qingjue left, they found that the political fanatics were also packing up their stalls and preparing to go back:

Yunluo and An Qingju walked back to the hotel for about 25 minutes, took a shower and took a nap. At 11:00 pm, the taxi that Yunluo and An Qingju had booked came on time to pick them up at the airport to catch Jetstar Airlines flight jq671 to Sydney, which departed at 01:40 in the middle of the night and arrived at 06:30 in the morning.

This is the terminal hall of Darwin Airport at 1:04 a.m., look, how spectacular, it feels just like 1:00 p.m., all here are passengers taking cheap red-eye flights. It seems that people in the world are the same everywhere, they all want to use cheap things, even if it makes them feel a little wronged, it doesn't matter.

Yunluo and An Qingju (both calculated according to adult prices), Darwin to Sydney flight about 5 hours, the total price of the ticket, only.

2. To dine at the restaurant on the breakwater at the waterfront in the south of Darwin and enjoy the unbeatable sea view, you don't have to walk along the beach. You can go south from Smithst. in the city, pass Smithmall, walk across an aerial bridge, take the elevator down to the bottom, and you will reach the green space by the sea.

-In Darwin, I strongly recommend going to this restaurant at the end of the breakwater outside the waterfront in Darwin City. Even if you don't eat, just have a drink. The sea view here is really beautiful. <(Mindil Beach Sunset Market). If you happen to catch its opening date, you must take time to go shopping! On the one hand, the sunset over the Indian Ocean is so beautiful, and on the other hand, in this market, you can feel the lively market atmosphere that is rarely felt in Australia (just like the temple fair in China).

Opening hours: Every Thursday from 5pm to 10pm, every Sunday from 4pm to 9pm. But Yunluo and An Qingju went there on Sunday. It feels like the market only becomes really lively after the sun goes down and people enjoy the sunset. For more information, you can check their official website.

1. Darwin South Seaside Restaurant: (1 bottle of delicious soda) + meal (grilled salmon with fries and vegetables, grilled fish with fries, etc.), totaling about RMB 248

3. Darwin Hotel-Airport, approximately RMB 193.

Two people on a Jetstar flight from Darwin to Sydney, flight number: jq671, aud179*two people (both adults)+20*2 (40kg luggage added)+8.5*3 (network service fee)=, about RMB 3,386.

After arriving at Sydney Airport at 6:30 in the morning, Yunluo planned to inquire about the details of Sydney's public transportation pass according to the original plan. Because when doing homework in advance, I found out that Sydney Airport has such a public transportation pass for sale online, but I don't know what this public transportation pass includes?

How to use it? But when I arrived at the bus pass information desk at the airport, I realized that maybe because Yunluo arrived in Sydney at 6:30 in the morning, the guy at the bus pass counter just pointed Yunluo in the direction of the pass counter, and he couldn't explain what the pass was. Later, Yunluo had to give up and finally took a taxi to the hotel where Yunluo was staying in Sydney.

Sydney public transportation price reference: Yunluo and An Qingju took the subway once in Sydney (only 2 stops). The price is per person; took a boat once: Pier 5 next to the Sydney Opera House went to Darling Harbour. The total price of the ferry for Yunluo and An Qingju, 2 adults and 1 child, was.

Yunluo took a taxi from the airport to the "Devere Hotel". The taxi fare from the hotel to the airport in the early morning of the third day was AUD 16. If you take the Airport Express from the airport, it will be AUD 16 (you can buy a one-way airport-city transportation ticket for AUD 12 in many small supermarkets in the city).

So if you go to Sydney Airport and want to know the details of this ticket, you can compare it with the information provided by Yunluo. The office was closed long ago, so on the day of arrival on the 23rd, Yunluo made an agreement with the administrator Sarah Bedell. Yunluo left early on the 24th to attend the green keybox at the entrance of the office with a naughty little crocodile squatting on the top. When he came back early this morning, Sarah Bedell would put the key of the room where Yunluo stayed today in an envelope with Yunluo's name on it. Yunluo just needed to pick it up when he came back.

The hotel's breakfast is prepared in this kitchen-cum-restaurant. The hotel provides bread slices, butter, milk, coffee bags and tea bags, but you have to prepare them yourself and wash the dishes after use so that other guests can use them.

The car that came to pick up Yunluo and An Qingjue to go to the desert park today was late. After the hotel manager called to urge it, it finally arrived. At this time, there was already a young couple from Germany who got on from another hotel in the car, because Yunluo and An Qingjue had to rush back to the hotel in the evening to catch the taxi that would pick them up to go to the train station at 4:30.

So I discussed with them that the shuttle bus that originally departed from the desert park at 4:30 could be changed to depart from the desert park at 4:15, and they readily agreed.

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

This is the interior and exterior of the car that picked up Yunluo and An Qingjue to go to Alice Springs Desert Park (the exterior was taken after arriving at the desert park):

Alice Springs Desert Park is located 7 kilometers west of Alice Springs city center (actually on the edge of the west side of the city), about a 10-minute drive away. When you arrive, you will pass through 3 main terrain areas along the 1.6-kilometer pedestrian trail - they are the desert river habitat (AT) and the woodland habitat (Woodlandhabitat). In these 3 areas, you can see more than 120 species of animals and 350 species of plants. Professional desert park guides will take you to see carnivorous birds flying freely in the sky.

And what it's like to watch animals threatened with extinction in the world's largest nocturnal zoo.

Alice Springs Desert Park was established with the concept of going beyond the traditional zoo. Its overall design is based on the animal habitat as the blueprint to create an environment, using stories to lead visitors, making people feel as if they are in the wild. All the scenery, plants, and styles in the park are managed and maintained by the indigenous people who live in Australia and understand nature. (To be continued...)
