Chapter 50: The Plains of Nullarb
Bow and thank "Daytime Dreams" for a generous tip!
Tang Feng was woken up by freezing in the early morning.
Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Tang Feng found that it was only half past four, and the sky was already a little bright, but there was at least an hour before sunrise. Although the south coast of Australia is located near the 30th parallel of south latitude, and it is now early summer, it is still near the sea after all, and there was a rapid thundershower last night, so the temperature is still relatively low, and Tang Feng estimates that it is at most seventeen or eight degrees.
Turning his head to look at Sophia, Tang Feng found that this girl was like a kitten, and the whole person was curled up together, and it was estimated that this girl also felt a little cold in her sleep.
I don't know how I fell asleep last night, anyway, I just remember that the two of them chatted very happily, and they talked a lot about school when they were young, and family trivialities. And through the conversation, Tang Feng learned that Sophia had just graduated from college this year, so she came out to travel to Australia.
Smiling, Tang Feng started the car, Land Rover is Land Rover, when starting the car, there was only a little sound, Sophia just frowned, but she was not awakened.
Soon, a warm air erupted from the air conditioning outlet, and Tang Feng adjusted the air outlet to a minimum, otherwise the temperature in the car would rise quickly.
After doing all this, Tang Feng didn't feel sleepy, so he simply opened the car door and went out to practice boxing.
The temperature outside was a little lower than in the car, which made Tang Feng, who was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, shiver involuntarily. But the air was even better than yesterday, with a slight cool breeze and still dry land, making it hard to think that just six or seven hours ago, there had been a thundershower here.
First, he jogged around the parking lot for four or five laps and moved his body, and Tang Feng began to play the bajiquan that his grandfather taught him. Tang Feng has been practicing this boxing technique for more than ten years. In fact, Tang Feng had no interest in practicing boxing or anything, he couldn't help it when he was a child, he was urged by his grandfather, and he couldn't do it if he didn't practice. Later, my grandfather returned to his hometown, but the habit of practicing boxing every morning had been deeply rooted in Tang Feng's body, so Tang Feng kept practicing.
After going to college, Tang Feng felt that his physical fitness was significantly higher than that of his classmates, and then he realized that this set of boxing methods was really outstanding, so Tang Feng began to take the initiative to practice this set of boxing methods every day.
Tang Feng didn't point to this set of boxing techniques to show off, but really regarded it as a method to strengthen the body, and the effect was really good.
After almost an hour of activity, Tang Feng inadvertently turned around, only to find that Sophia's girl was watching him practice boxing with interest through the car window, so he couldn't fight this punch anymore.
"Is this Huaxia Kung Fu? It looks amazing! Sophia dropped the window glass and said with a lazy smile on her face, and a strand of hair fell playfully in front of her forehead, which made Tang Feng's heart move.
"It should be regarded as a kind of kung fu, this is what my grandfather taught me when I was a child, and I have practiced it for so many years, and it has become a habit." Tang Feng said with a smile, came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took down the mineral water bucket inside, and said to Sophia: "Come here and wash your face, when we turn back and find the town, you can buy a toothbrush or something!" ”
After washing, taking advantage of Sophia's time to exercise, Tang Feng moved down the miniature gas stove very neatly, for this trip, Tang Feng did not prepare anything, even a two-kilogram liquefied gas tank and gas stove, this guy got a set and put it in the car.
On the fire, he poured the spring water from the spring of raw water that came out of the space into the pot, then put a little rice, and then pulled out four eggs like a trick, took out a small piece of beef from the refrigerator and chopped it into the pot, boiled it with the rice, and when it was almost cooked, broke the eggs and poured them into the pot, sprinkled a little salt, and a simple pot of egg and beef porridge was done.
The hot egg and beef porridge and the small pickles in the bottle surprised Sophia, and she ate it to her heart's content. This kind of pure Chinese-style breakfast Sophia has never eaten before, not to mention that this porridge is still boiled with the spring water of the magical raw water spring, so as soon as you eat it, you will be conquered immediately.
After breakfast, Sophia called the rental car company again, and after learning that the tow crew would arrive here at about noon, Tang Feng and Sophia simply didn't wait, and drove directly on the road to the next town.
However, the two men did not make it to the next town, Yaratha, because they entered the famous Nullarb National Park shortly after driving from the place they were sightseeing.
Nullarbor National Park is located on the Nullarbor Plain, and in fact, there are many amazing landscapes in the flat and inhospitable Nullarbor Plain, but they are all hidden deep in the Nullarbor Plain, and it takes a lot of time and effort to visit them all.
You must know that the area of the Great Plains of Nullarbor is 200,000 square kilometers, which is almost the same size as the entire British mainland. The most amazing sight on the Nullarb Plain is the caves, which are known as the sinkholes in our Chinese population.
In fact, this large plain, which covers an area of 200,000 square kilometers, is actually made up of a whole block of limestone, so the terrain here is extremely flat, it can be said to be the flattest area in the world, but at the same time, because it is limestone, it is almost nothing, and occasionally trees can grow in places, usually by the sea.
Such a large piece of limestone, and it is said that it was once raised by a seabed on the bottom of the sea, so this large limestone area is a typical karst landform, there are many sinkholes, karst caves, etc., and the inside of these sinkholes is often very deep and magical.
In 1983, a group of French divers set a world record for diving at the time in a sinkhole called the Corker Bidi Water Cave in the deep desert of the Nullarbean Plain north of Coker Biddy, where Tang Feng had passed. The divers spent 39 hours diving directly to a depth of 4,500 meters in the sinkhole, hundreds of kilometers away from the sea. You can imagine how amazing the sinkhole here is!
It's hard to imagine that the diving world record was achieved in the desert at that time, but the Nullarbor Plain provides such a special place for mankind.
Whether it is Tang Feng or Sophia, they are full of curiosity about these sinkholes on the Nullarbor Plain, but it is a pity that neither of them went to look for those sinkholes in the previous journey, and now they finally came to Nullarbor National Park, where is the most dense sinkhole, where are they not going to enjoy those magical sinkholes?
The sinkholes in Nullarbor National Park are not the same as those in the Kirakomona Caves National Park in Queensland, Australia, and the sinkholes in Nullarbor National Park are more rugged than the beautiful underground caves in Kirakomona Caves National Park!
Whether it's Tang or Sophia, they love this rugged taste!
