Tropical Storm Yasi will make landfall in northeastern Queensland this evening, with wind speeds exceeding 320 kilometers per hour and a wind surface width of 500 kilometers, which is extremely destructive and rare in history. Due to the rush of time, many local supermarkets were unable to prepare goods in time, and the goods on the shelves were sold out, causing considerable panic among the people.

But the media was used in real time to calm people's hearts, and local residents were evacuated in a timely manner. The army and police were also used to help tourists and local staff in the city center evacuate to a safe place. The Governor of Queensland announced the latest situation and the progress of the rescue work on television every hour, which played a key role in calming and stabilizing people's hearts. "

Yunluo and An Qingju are so lucky. I also wish Cairns tourists and residents are safe. I met up with my friend at Circular Quay. My friend bought me a Sydney Weekly Pass in advance, which allows unlimited rides on buses, subways, light rail and ferries within a week. The price is $42. Most of the buses in Sydney are air-conditioned. There are not many people on the bus, and everyone has a seat.

When the bus approached the city, the number of vehicles increased significantly. Yunluo and An Qingju's car moved forward step by step. Here they finally experienced the feeling of congestion. Yunluo felt like he was on his way to work.

Most people in the city are dressed in professional clothes, walking in a hurry, and sometimes crossing the intersection without looking at the traffic lights, which is very different from the slow pace of life of the Australian people that Yunluo and An Qingju had seen before. It seems that big cities around the world are the same. Therefore, it is best to avoid rush hours in the morning and evening on weekdays. As the center of Uralquay, a series of famous attractions are around, such as Hyde Park, Royal Botanic Gardens, Harbor, Rocks, Sydney Opera House, etc. It is also the center of other attractions via water.

After meeting up with friends, Yunluo and An Qingju chose to start from the Sydney Opera House today, and walked along the seaside through the Royal Botanic Gardens to the cape opposite the Sydney Opera House to enjoy the scenery. This is a classic place to watch the opera house. Today's weather is hotter than yesterday, more than 30 degrees, so Yunluo and An Qingju had to hide in the shade of trees as they moved forward.

After walking for 40 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination. At this time, many tour groups had already stopped here, most of them were Chinese tourists, "queuing" to take pictures here. Yunluo was already too hot to bear it, so after taking two photos, he found a corner with few people, leaned on a bench, and took the opportunity to rest for a while.

On the way back, Yunluo and An Qingju took a shortcut in the botanical garden under the guidance of the navigation system, which was quite useful. As they walked, a castle appeared in front of them. When they got closer, they found that it was the house where they were staying.

The door was open, and there were a few tourists inside, so I went in to take a look. When I got closer, I found that I couldn't go in to visit today, only from Friday to Sunday, so I walked around outside. This place is really nice. Yunluo likes it!

There are many old houses and streets that represent the history of Sydney's development. In 1787, Captain Arthur Phillip from Britain finally arrived in Australia after a 250-day voyage. Captain Phillip named this first port of call Sydney Cove, and brought the guards and prisoners with him.

Camping on this sandstone promontory opened a new chapter in Australian history, and The Rocks became the best testimony to Sydney’s development.”

There is the famous DFS here, and students who like shopping can take a look. Because the weather is really hot and it is time for lunch, Yunluo and An Qingju did not spend much time in the rock area. After seeing a good Italian restaurant, they decided to have lunch there.

The pizza here tastes good, a 12-inch pizza is a little over $20, but it is relatively thin, quite different from the Pizza Hut that Yunluo and An Qingjue often eat at, and is only enough for one or two people.

After dinner, Yunluo and An Qingju walked around DFS for a while, and because a friend had something to do in the evening, Yunluo and An Qingjue stopped at Annual Park to rest. LD had been here before and said that this big park was great.

There are black swans, big carps and so on, I want to see them today. Walking from the roadside to a small bridge, there are some wild ducks in the river, and when they see people on the bridge, they rush over. Seeing this scene, Yunluo and An Qingju took out the snacks left over from lunch and quickly expressed their gratitude, which attracted a lot of attention on the surface of the water, and even the eels in the water came to join in the fun.

This park is quite large, and there is a road running through the middle. Yunluo and An Qingjue decided not to look for the black swan, but to find some shade under a tree and then go home for dinner.

Today Yunluo and An Qingju will visit the Sydney Taronga Zoo, which Yunluo has long admired. Yunluo has a zoo complex and has visited the Beijing Zoo whenever she got the chance since she was a child. She also visits from time to time when she grows up. Australia is rich in wildlife resources, and many species are unique in the world, which Yunluo cannot miss!

After getting up in the morning and taking the bus, and experiencing the congestion of Sydney's morning rush hour again, Yunluo and LD came to Circular Quay and took the ferry to the zoo. If you don't have a similar weekly transportation ticket, you can buy a zoo + ferry package here, which will be cheaper than buying them separately.

A ferry can carry about 100-200 people at a time, and the one-way trip takes about 20 minutes. On the way, you will pass by the Sydney Opera House, the Water Prison and other sights, allowing you to appreciate the scenery from another perspective.

After the boat arrives at the shore, you still need to take a bus or cable car to enter the zoo. Because Taronga Zoo is built on the mountain, it is recommended to take the cable car to the highest point of the zoo and then visit it from the bottom, which will save energy.

The only thing to note is that the cable car doesn't start until 9:30, so if you go early, you can only take the bus. The zoo ticket is $43 per person, which includes the cost of the above transportation, but Yunluo thinks it is still a bit expensive.

Taking the "Skywalker" cable car over the trees and cages below, Yunluo and An Qingju soon arrived at the highest point of the zoo. Taronga Zoo is not big, but it is in an excellent location, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sydney Bay. Founded in 1916, Taronga Zoo houses about 400 species of animals and covers an area of ​​75 acres.

Here are representative Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos, wombats, platypuses, dingo dogs, Tasmanian devils, Australian birds, as well as chimpanzees, penguins, otters, rhinos, seals, raccoons, lizards and reptiles.

After getting off the bus, I went to the visitor center to get an introduction. I found that there would be performances or activities such as keeper explanations at different times. Among them, the sea lion and bird performances were the most worth looking forward to. I called my friend and made an appointment to meet at the theater where the sea lion performance was held, and then I walked all the way there with my husband.

When we arrived at the theater for the seal show, there were quite a lot of people. Everyone squeezed in the shade and sat down. Even so, the hot temperature was still uncomfortable. I won't describe the process of the seal show in detail. There was a scene where a seal jumped out of the water and did a somersault, which left a deep impression on Yunluo. During the show, someone would introduce common sense about protecting animals, which was entertaining and educational!

After watching the sea lion show, the next highlight - the bird show is about to begin. The location of the show is especially worth mentioning. This is the best place to enjoy the view of Sydney Bay. When watching the show, the audience faces the sea, dotted with sailboats, and has a panoramic view of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

It is truly admirable that the Sydney government did not develop this place as commercial real estate, but instead built it into a zoo to benefit more people.

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

The performers in the bird show include chickens, cranes, owls, red-tailed black sunflower parrots, pink cockatoos, falcons, Andean condors, etc. The performers performed very hard. Some made the tourists laugh, while others flew over people's heads, causing bursts of exclamations. The show was ingeniously choreographed and full of fun.

There was an eagle that could crack open eggs with a stone in its mouth. It was the most hardworking one and it took nearly ten minutes to complete the task. At the end of the performance, all the birds "came out of their nests" and circled above people's heads. Beautiful music was played in the venue and the atmosphere reached its climax. Yunluo still remembers it vividly.

After watching the show, the group of four went to visit the Australian animal area, where Yunluo and An Qingju saw many animals with Australian characteristics.

The Tasmanian devil is a small animal that you will never see in Tasmania. It is very ferocious when fighting. The devil is known for its unique howl and bad temper. The earliest inhabitants of Tasmania were frightened by the terrible screams of the devil coming from far away at night.

Therefore, they are called "Tasmanian devils". In addition, an analysis of the biting ability of mammals pointed out that Tasmanian devils are the most powerful living mammals relative to their size.

Kangaroos, there are about 60 species of kangaroos and their close relatives living in Australia. The kangaroos that Yunluo and An Qingju often refer to are these large kangaroos, which can jump up to 4 meters and as far as 13 meters. They can be said to be the mammals that can jump the highest and farthest. (To be continued...)
