Walking out of the pier, it feels no different from an ordinary small town, with no tall buildings and no noise. Although there are many tourists, as soon as you walk out of the pier, you are immediately immersed in the quiet town.

Manly is very steep, with some slopes reaching 50 to 60 degrees. It is more accurate to say that it is climbing rather than walking. In order to experience different scenery, Yunluo and An Qingju deliberately took a road in the opposite direction of other tourists and approached the living area of ​​Manly people.

It has to be said that compared with the three generations of savings in China to buy a prefabricated house, the living conditions here are heaven on earth. A single-family villa, a garden, a lawn, and a high place overlooking the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea, just thinking about this picture can make people deeply understand the evil nature of capitalism.

(Of course, this cannot be compared with the rich in China. There, it belongs to ordinary people and almost everyone has it. Here, it belongs to the rich and it is really not easy to get it. Those who can make friends with the rich are the exception.)

Seeing the sea view in the distance, Yunluo and An Qingju immediately became energetic (to be honest, the "mountain road" is really difficult to walk on), so Yunluo and An Qingju crossed mountains and ridges along the direction of the sea, and finally, after about half an hour of long march, they approached their destination: Cabbage Tree Bay.

If the above content is violated, a fine of up to 3,300 Australian dollars (equivalent to RMB 20,000 at the time) or 6 months in prison will be imposed. This shows how strict Australia's animal protection measures are. This thing is similar to a chameleon. The protective color on its surface allows it to blend in with the surrounding things, and it definitely reaches the realm of "quiet as a virgin, fast as a rabbit".

When you look at it, it doesn't move. Yunluo probably looked at one of them for about 5 minutes and it didn't move. It's like a specimen. As soon as you turn your head, it moves very fast. If you look back every few seconds, I believe you will see a very interesting picture of the specimen moving.

Arriving at the pier, don't rush to enter the station. There is an Aldi supermarket next to the pier. The things inside are still cheap compared to Sydney. Yunluo and An Qingju replenished some food, then entered the station to board the ship.

After boarding the boat, we followed the usual routine and took advantage of the bow to take various photos. It's strange that there are only two iconic buildings in Sydney, but if you are in that environment, you will have endless interest in taking photos. From various angles and perspectives, you have to admit that the designer's design is genius.

After landing, Yunluo and An Qingju returned to the hotel to rest and replenish supplies, preparing for the evening trip to the opera house that they had not been able to go to in the morning. Adhering to Australia's usual natural and simple style, the hotel is no exception in this respect. The exterior does not look amazing at all, with no wide gate and no luxurious reception desk.

At best, it's like a four-star business hotel in China, and it can't be compared with those luxury hotels in China. Although I was a little disappointed at first glance, it was quite good when I entered. The so-called: simple on the outside, gold and jade on the inside is probably this realm.

I booked the legendary deluxe room with panoramic view (hotels in Sydney that can clearly see the two iconic buildings are basically concentrated in the Rocks area. Generally, the bridge view and the opera house view are sold separately, so if you want to include both views, you should pay special attention when booking, so as not to spend money and not get the effect)

Maybe because it was evening, there were more people in the opera house, but it was still dwarfed by the number in China.

The opera house looks very big when viewed up close. It should be said to be huge. The exterior is covered with "scales", giving it the feeling of an alien warship. Compared with the soft feeling of "white, rich and beautiful" when viewed from afar, the closer you look, the more "majestic" it feels.

I was so tired the day before that I almost wanted to give up today's tour and take a good rest in the hotel. Actually, there are not many programs today. It is purely leisure, and the physical exertion is not much. The main reason is that the journey from Sydney to Canberra is too long. It takes about 3.5 hours one way. If there is a traffic jam, it will take longer.

But later, under An Qingju's persuasion, I decided to go. If I went to Australia and never even visited their capital, it would be a pity. So, I continued to set the alarm clock, turned off the lights and rested.

The next morning at around 7 o'clock, An Qingju and Yunluo left the hotel. Before leaving, they couldn't help but take a photo of the beautiful scenery outside the window:

As usual, we got on the bus at the entrance of McDonald's. Perhaps due to lack of sleep, An Qingjue and Yunluo started to catch up on sleep after getting on the bus. Fortunately, the route was quite long this time, so they were quite successful in catching up on sleep. By the time we arrived at Lilliput, we had recovered about 80% to 90% of our energy. The so-called Lilliput is actually a miniature museum. It records all aspects of people's lives.

Fortunately, Yunluo is usually wise and brave. Under the sharp attack of Yunluo's eyes, the dinosaur retreated. Alas, who can blame Yunluo for being tall, rich and handsome?

Before leaving, I visited the gift shop as usual, but I have to say it was quite boring. So, I changed from buying things to looking for weird items, which I have to say was quite fun, haha.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, An Qingju and Yun Luo continued to drive to their destination. Canberra is really a very suitable city for "living". The total population is 3 million! 3 million? That is the population in 1,000 years in the future. The current population is about 360,000! It is equivalent to the population of a large community in Magic City.

It has to be said that the evil capitalism is a waste of land area. It is said that the wise man who designed this city at that time considered the development trend of the city in the next 100 years and designed Canberra to accommodate about 1 million people. But the fact is that until now.

The population has just reached less than 40% of the design limit, so we have to admire the foresight of the design concept of that genius designer.

Canberra is a young city. More than 100 years ago, it was a barren land at the foot of the Australian Alps. It was discovered in 1820, and then immigrants came to build ranches. It developed into a small town in 1840. In 1901, after the establishment of the Australian federal government.

The two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne argued over the issue of the capital for ** years until 1911, when the federal government passed a resolution to choose a place between the two cities with good weather, mountains and rivers to build a new capital. So they chose this place 238 kilometers away from Sydney.

An empty space 507 kilometers from Melbourne. This is the prototype of Canberra. It means "the place where the two meet". In order to commemorate the "Huashan Sword Contest" between Sydney and Melbourne, "small towns" named after these two famous cities were built in Canberra.

Sydney is opposite Melbourne. The architectural style is exactly the same, short and wide. I don't know where the beauty lies. The amazing thing is that except for the different names, they look almost the same. No wonder no one could suppress the other. These two cities were built in Canberra. It seems to remind people that the competition was fierce at that time, and they should value harmony, haha.

Soon, they arrived at the flower show. Yun Luo, who had the seventh sense, relied on his extraordinary microcosm to sense Lake Griffin hundreds of meters away in an instant, and immediately asked to get off the car.

The others on the bus chose to stay on the bus because they had to go to see the Capitol and the Mint. When An Qingju and Yun Luo got off the bus, they could feel the eyes of others looking at them as "idiots". In fact, the facts later would tell them how stupid it was to miss the real beauty.

Yun Luo pulled An Qingjue out of the car. Instead of going to see the Capitol and the Mint, nor did they go to the so-called annual flower show, they went straight to the legendary Lake Griffin.

A great man once said: If you don't go to Lake Griffin and see the jet fountain, you can't say you have been to Canberra. Lake Griffin is located between Parliament Hill and Capital Hill. It is an artificial lake. The name of the lake comes from Griffin, the designer who planned Canberra. The lakeshore is 35 kilometers in circumference and covers an area of ​​704 hectares.

It cuts off the Morango River in the middle of the city, forming an 8-kilometer-long artificial lake. Lake Griffin is vast, with rippling blue waves and beautiful scenery. People can swim, sail and fish. There is a road around the lake, with flowers and trees planted on the roadside. There is a fountain in the lake built to commemorate Captain Cook. The water column it sprays from the bottom of the lake is as high as 137 meters.

Standing anywhere in the city, you can see tall white water columns piercing the blue sky, and the water droplets and mist particles around the water columns sparkle like rainbows under the sunlight, which is extremely spectacular.

The rippling lake and green grass on both sides make the water column even more spectacular and refracts a rainbow. The best spot for tourists to watch the fountain is on the north bank of the lake.

Major state agencies and public buildings, such as the Parliament Building, the Government Building, the National Library, the National University, the National Art Gallery, the Federal Academy of Sciences, etc., are all built on the shores of artificial lakes. They are magnificent and colorful, and their reflections are in the vast blue waters.

Before Yunluo and An Qingjue ran to the lakeside lawn, they heard a cheer, and Yunluo knew that the wonderful show had begun. When they ran over to take a look, as expected, the legendary fountain that could spray the highest water column began to work hard to welcome An Qingjue and Yunluo's inspection.

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

Later, An Qingjue and Yunluo found out that her working hours were only 2 hours, and she had irregular rest days. Therefore, for tourists like An Qingjue and Yunluo who came just to watch and stayed for 2 hours, it was absolutely impossible, unless they had extremely good RP.

Lake Griffin is very large and clear, as clear as a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds directly on the lake. The huge green lawn, the clear lake, the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and the Capitol in the distance perfectly blend together to form a natural and beautiful picture!

Yes, it was a painting! Although I had seen many related pictures on the Internet before, I have to say that when Yunluo saw the real scene for the first time, I was deeply shocked! Words such as beautiful, clear, grand, natural, and natural instantly flashed through Yunluo's mind, but they were not enough to express Yunluo's feelings at the time.

So I quickly used my camera to record this beautiful scene. Although I used a wide-angle lens, the natural beauty of the scene, where the water and sky merged into one, could not be fully captured by this lens.

So much so that Yunluo didn't realize that this was actually an artificial lake. He once again admired the master designer: Walter Burley Griffin's ingenious craftsmanship, which allowed An Qingjue and Yunluo to appreciate such a beautiful scene.

After sighing, I naturally took various photos horizontally and vertically. The weather was very good that day, and there were only a few people on the lawn, so I couldn't find any reason not to take photos.

As An Qingjue and Yunluo were playing and taking photos, they realized that almost 2 hours had passed, so they reluctantly went to the nearby park to see the flower show. The flowers were ordinary and not worth wasting time to take photos. They found a magic room and quickly recorded it.

Perhaps they didn't like the strong commercial atmosphere there, or perhaps Lake Griffin had already left an indelible impression in An Qingjue and Yunluo's minds. Almost at the same time, An Qingjue and Yunluo decisively left the flower show and returned to that beautiful picture. They did nothing but lay quietly on the grass, staring foolishly at the beautiful scenery before them, not wanting to waste even a minute.

If there is such a thing as love at first sight, I believe this is probably one of them. Just when An Qingjue and Yunluo were distracted, a burst of noise brought them back to reality. It turned out that An Qingjue and Yunluo's car had arrived. When the people in the car saw the beautiful scenery in front of them, they naturally rushed out of the car like crazy and ran over here.

Maybe God wanted to take revenge on those "stupid" people. As soon as they ran to the edge of the lawn, the fountain finished its work for the day and went off work on time.

Yunluo subconsciously checked her phone. Two hours had passed. It was hard to believe that An Qingju and Yunluo had just stared at this still picture for such a long time. Strangely enough, the lake was still the same lake, and the scenery was still the same scenery, but without the towering fountain, the picture suddenly lost its vitality and became dull.

So, amid the disappointed sighs of those people, An Qingjue and Yunluo stood up and left. This beauty and this touching moment will always be treasured in An Qingjue and Yunluo's hearts, because it is a beautiful scene that belongs to both An Qingjue and Yunluo!

After a few days of great fun around Sydney, it was finally time for An Qingju and Yunluo to start a new journey. Adhering to the principle of first the master and then the servant, they naturally chose Melbourne as their first stop.

Domestic flights in Australia are not cheap, but since each city is more than a thousand kilometers away, choosing land transportation is obviously not a good idea, so friends who want to visit various cities in Australia should prepare enough budget. Early in the morning, after An Qingju and Yunluo stored their luggage, they called a taxi to the airport.

(This habitual thinking almost killed me later, I will talk about it later) Sydney Airport is divided into international and domestic airports, so when you get on the bus, remember to tell the driver clearly that it is international and domestic airports, otherwise if you find out it is not when you arrive and you are in a tight schedule, your trip will probably be ruined.
