Koalas. Although you have seen koalas on the Great Ocean Road, you can take photos with koalas at close range by purchasing an additional ticket here. …≦, if you still want to hug a koala, you can only continue to take a plane to Queensland, which is the only area in Australia where you can touch koalas.
The emu (scientific name: dromaius novaehollandia) is the only species in the family Emu of the class Aves. It is famous for its running ability. It is a specialty of Australia and the second largest bird in the world, second only to the African ostrich. Therefore, it is also called the Australian ostrich. Its wings are more degenerate than those of the African ostrich and the American rhinoceros, and it has three toes. It is one of the oldest bird species in the world.
Inhabits forests and open areas of Australia, eating leaves and wild fruits. Emus mate for life. Each nest contains 7-10 dark green eggs, 13mm long. Nests are built on the ground. The male incubates the eggs for about 60 days. The striped chicks can run with the adults soon after hatching. Special tracheal structures can produce a loud rumbling sound during the breeding season. Emu is the national bird of Australia.
Wombat, belonging to the family of Marsupials, has a stout bear-like body, small eyes and a mouse-like face. It can weigh up to 35 kg. The skull of a wombat is slightly flat, and the nose and face are relatively short. All teeth have no roots and grow throughout life, and the tail is degenerate. The pouch opens backwards and contains a pair of claws. The limbs are short and powerful, with 5 toes on the front feet, which are wide and have long claws, and the 3rd and 4th toes on the hind feet are merged.
It is a good digger, and its burrows are often more than 30 meters long, with the burrows opening outward or located under rock piles. It mainly eats grass, but also roots or bark. Its body is shorter and thicker than that of a koala, which makes it look ridiculous.
The platypus is a monotreme mammal from Australia, and the most peculiar one is the platypus. The so-called monotreme refers to an animal that is between reptiles and mammals.
Although it is more advanced than reptiles, it has not yet evolved into a mammal. The two have the same thing in that they both breathe with lungs. They have hair on their bodies and are warm-blooded. Monotremes reproduce by laying eggs, so they retain important characteristics of reptiles. Although it is classified as a mammal, it does not have the complete characteristics of a mammal.
It is the most primitive and lowest level of mammals, and is called "prototheria" or monotreme egg-laying mammals in animal taxonomy.
The platypus is about 40 centimeters long, covered with soft, brown, dense, short hair. Its limbs are very short, its five toes have hooked claws, and between the toes there are thin webbed feet, which resemble duck feet. Its snout is flat, shaped like a duck's bill, and its tail is large and flat. It is the most primitive and peculiar animal among living mammals, and is only distributed between Cape York in eastern Australia and South Australia, and also lives on the island of Tasmania.
There is another thing you may not expect: the male platypus has a thorn on its hind foot. The thorn contains poisonous juice that can hurt people when it is sprayed out. It is almost the same as snake venom. If a person is stung by the thorn, it will cause severe pain and take several months to recover.
Yunluo and ld continued to visit the zoo, but they were exhausted after a day of exposure to the sun, so they wanted to find a cool place to stay. When they walked out of the zoo, they found that the penguin house was cool and there were carpets on the floor. It was a good place to escape the heat, so they sat on the ground and leaned against the pillar to take a rest.
After resting enough at the penguin house, Yunluo and LD returned to the dock to wait for the boat. While they were waiting, a small boat came and shouted to the people, meaning "There is a big seat. Get on the boat and go." It turned out to be a water taxi! Yunluo and An Qingju had boat tickets, so they didn't bother with the taxi driver.
After returning home and having dinner, Yunluo and An Qingju drove to Bondi Beach to watch the night view. They didn't remember anything else except the cool breeze and the people playing in the waves.
Today, a friend was free, so Yunluo and An Qingjue sent the child to kindergarten. The kindergarten here costs about 2,000 Australian dollars a month, but with various subsidies, Yunluo's child only needs 1,000 Australian dollars a month. After settling him down, Yunluo and An Qingjue still took the bus to the pier and then took the ferry.
Manly Beach is located in the northwest of Sydney Bay, at the intersection of the inner sea and the outer sea, facing the Tasman Sea. It is a very beautiful leisure resort. The ferry to Manly Beach is the largest of all ferries, and it takes 30 minutes one way. After getting off the ferry, Yunluo and An Qingju walked through the commercial street, and Manly Beach appeared in front of them.
Because it is a weekday today, there are not many people on the beach. The cool sea breeze blows away the summer heat and makes people feel refreshed. There is a dressing room near the beach. After changing clothes, I rushed to the sea. Suddenly, I heard a whistle. It turned out that the wind and waves were a bit strong today, and the lifeguard was reminding people not to go into the sea.
Don't worry, Yunluo is a good swimmer, and he won't run into the sea without a whistle. I stood in the sea with him for a while, enjoying the cool water and breeze of the Tasman Sea. No matter how hot the weather is, we are not afraid. When we were tired, we went back to the beach to sunbathe. At this time, the sharp-eyed ld poked Yunluo and said, "Look over there."
Looking in the direction, not far from Yunluo and An Qingjue, there were actually two topless beauties lying on the beach reading books without paying attention to anyone around! I thought such scenery could only be seen on nude beaches, but I didn't expect to see it here.
Later, I found out that Yunluo and An Qingju were just surprised by this. Many beaches in Australia have such scenery, and everyone is calm about it. In order to maintain harmony, one picture is omitted here.
After resting on the beach for a while, their stomachs started to growl. Yunluo and An Qingju decided to go back to the pier for lunch, as there were many restaurants to choose from.
Yunluo and her friend chose the mango flavor, which is mixed with small ice chips. It has a unique taste and is highly recommended.
After dinner, a few of us were still not satisfied, so a friend strongly recommended a pizza shop near the pier. After trying it, it was indeed right, the taste was good and the view was even better, and you could feed the fish by the pier.
After a short break, Yunluo and An Qingju planned to return by boat. While boarding the boat, Yunluo and An Qingju saw a small, calm bay near the pier, where people were having a great time. So Yunluo and An Qingju, who were both on the boat, decided to return to the bay to try their skills again.
Because this beach is in the harbor, it is really calm and the water is very clear. Yunluo put on his swimming goggles and dived into the water. Haha, there are small jellyfish in the water; wait, there are even fish, silver ones as long as a hand, this swimming is really ecological!
It was time to go home, Yunluo and An Qingju took the ferry back to the city. A friend suggested that we go to a Chinese restaurant near Glebepoint Road, called Shuxiangfang, which is close to Parramatta Road and Sydney University. It is a Sichuan restaurant. It is like returning home, and the waiters here are all Chinese.
With the indifferent attitude of waiters in domestic restaurants, the menu was printed with Chinese characters, indicating that this is a restaurant with Chinese as its main customers. When the dishes came, they were indeed authentic, no different from domestic restaurants. This is a proper Chinese restaurant! During the meal, we ordered a bottle of beer and everyone drank a glass together.
I want to mention here that Yunluo's friend is going to middle school this year. Due to her excellent academic performance, she won the only full scholarship of a famous private school - 120,000 Australian dollars. She is really outstanding! The whole family is happy for her, and I also wish her to make further progress!
When the bill came, the six of us spent $160, and there was still a lot of food left, so the price/performance ratio of this restaurant was still acceptable. When we left, we found that there was a line at the door, which showed how popular the business was. At this time, a friend suggested taking Yunluo and An Qingju to go fishing. Yunluo was very happy to hear that, as he finally had the opportunity to go fishing in the sea, but at the same time he was also wondering where to go fishing in the dark.
After getting in the car, Yunluo and An Qingju headed straight for the beach. Not long after they drove out, they suddenly saw a flashing police light in front of them, and the car speed gradually slowed down. After the car stopped, a police girl came up.
Policewoman: “Did you drink?”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Friend: “Drink it!”
Police: "How much did you drink?"
Policewoman: “Okay, you can go now.”
What I just live streamed for you is the process of the Australian police checking for drunk driving. Australia allows driving after drinking. Although the laws of each state are different, they basically only allow one standard drink. The police mm's method is efficient and fast, but back to the situation in China, Yunluo still wants to advise everyone through this post, please don't drive after drinking!
The car gradually drove out of the city and traveled through the vast night. A brightly lit independent building on the side of the road attracted Yunluo's attention. It turned out to be a prison.
Not far from here, Yunluo and An Qingju finally arrived at their destination - Botany Bay National Park. At that time, they only knew that they could go fishing here, but later they found out that this was the place where the famous Captain Cook, the discoverer of Australia, first landed on the Australian continent in 1770. In addition, whales can be watched here from June to October every year.
After the car stopped, there was a bridge not far away connecting the shore and the park. It was dark all around, but fortunately there was a street lamp at the end of the bridge that provided some lighting. I took out the fishing gear from the trunk and walked to the bridge in the dark to try my hand. Hey, there were lights flashing on the reef next to me, and people were swaying. What was he doing?
After a closer look, I realized that it was actually a group of night divers. Gradually, the lights disappeared from the sea surface, and the crowd appeared in the sea water, moving forward. (To be continued...)
