In fact, from today's journey, you will see all kinds of animals killed by the roadside from time to time, most of them are wallabies, wombats, hares, crows and the like, among which most of the crows are hit when eating animal carcasses on the roadside, which is exactly the bird to die for food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even so, it is difficult to encounter wildlife while driving during the day, as things like wallabies and wombats are not active during the day, so try to avoid driving early in the morning or at night on Koh Ta.

Not far away, An Qingju and Yunluo came to one of the attractions of the trip - the Tarraleah Talaria Hydropower Station. Construction began around 1930 and the plant began operation in 1938, using electricity generated from the water resources of the Derwent River and Lake St. Clair to meet the growing demand for energy.

There are no particularly famous attractions on the back road, and from time to time there will be some signs telling you where you can see nearby. An Qingju and Yunluo did not stop, fully enjoying the feeling of being on the road, and most of them will have a sign that recommends the speed limit when encountering dangerous roads in the mountains, so don't show off your driving skills here.

After countless bends and mountain downturns, the roadside sign ahead catches the attention of Yunluo: Nelsonfalls. The waterfall is about 35 meters high and can be reached by walking 700 meters. The air is so humid and fresh that it's a great walking trail to surpass any other place on the trip. In such an environment, LD also excitedly practiced trotting.

At about 6 p.m., An Qingju and Yunluo arrived in the town of Queenston. As a reminder, before Queenston, there is the last mountain to be climbed, and the road here is steeper than the previous one, with many steep curves and steep slopes, and the car is driving against the cliff outside. As far as the eye can see, the valley is deep, with large expanses of exposed rock that are the result of the mining industry, and thin guardrails that make people feel a little uneasy. Therefore, please concentrate and drive safely.

Queenstown Queenstown is located in the western part of Tasmania and has a population of about 2,400 people. Mining is still the main business in the town. However, because of the huge damage caused by the mining industry to the environment, ** has begun to restrict the mining industry and gradually develop the tourism economy.

Once in town, quickly find the Imperial Hotel: this hotel has been in business since 1901 and is considered a historic building. When I went to the hotel to check in, I didn't know that there was a problem at this time, and I couldn't find anyone at first, only the chef sat in the reception. The chef enthusiastically told An Qingju and Yunluo that they would go to the bar after 6 o'clock to find someone, and the people at the bar would take their place. After finding MM. After waiting for a while for her to finish what she was doing, she flipped through the reservation form on the table for a long time, and finally came up with a sentence "It may be a little problem, I can only give you a suite and a standard room without a bathroom". What kind of line is this, An Qingju and Yunluo set two suites at that time, just to have a bathroom for convenience. After negotiating with mm, it seems that she can't do anything, mm said no, you can look at other hotels first. Yunluo can refund the money in full. So An Qingju and Yunluo drove around the town again, and on the other street there was a hotel on the hillside that was not bad. Big and new, the old man is also very nice, 94 dollars / room.

Since the two LDs didn't go to check-in together when they were in the empire just now, they had to take a look at the empire's room before returning the money. The door of this room looks really choked, and it's okay inside, but everything is old. There were four beds in the room. LDs immediately decided: don't change it, four people live in one room, and return the remaining one. So I went downstairs, and the mm just now was gone, and I explained the reason to another mm. Ask to vacate a room. The other room lives four people, but at no extra cost (you know, the price of An Qingju and Yunluo is double occupancy, and it costs 15 dollars to stay for one more person). mm is worthy of being a son and daughter of the west, in a word, "no problem", happy. As a result, it got a top spot for the hotel on the trip, the cheapest hotel, $75/4 people. (This place is probably because of the abundance of iron ore, and the water is all rust-colored)

After settling in the accommodation, I bought some things in the supermarket, during which I met a large family from Suzhou who drove an RV around the tower, which was also the first group of Chinese tourists An Qingju and Yunluo met after arriving in Australia, and everyone greeted each other. Dinner was settled in the hotel, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the bar counter seemed to be full of locals who came here for a drink. When I sat down in the restaurant, the waiter was busy, and the uncle at the table next to me handed over the menu in a friendly way, and this was just the beginning of the enthusiasm of the people in the west.

The waitress here is enthusiastic and diligent, and she takes care of the whole restaurant alone, without the slightest impatience. LD casually glanced at the plate, but she didn't expect her to change it immediately, but there was nothing. When ordering at the bar, the eldest sister was very enthusiastic and patiently answered An Qingju and Yunluo's questions. An Qingju and Yunluo ordered a handful of local beer and asked her if she could give An Qingju and Yunluo 3 more empty cups. Unexpectedly, after a while, she actually divided the beer for An Qingju and Yunluo, and brought it directly to the table. Looking at these beers, Yunluo wondered if he had given more to An Qingju and Yunluo, hehe!

Today's waiting time is quite long, An Qingju and Yunluo are the last to serve the food, but there is no impatience in their hearts. The chef walked out after a while, smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's your next meal." Sure enough, An Qingju and Yunluo's dishes came up one after another. The steak here is delicious and the pasta is good, both are worth recommending. When An Qingju and Yunluo were eating, the young waitress began to set up tomorrow's tableware again, still full of enthusiasm for work, which was admirable. A simple meal, but An Qingju and Yunluo saw the warm and simple folk customs here, and they couldn't forget each other for a long time.

I was woken up by the whistle of the train in the morning, and when I opened the window, I found that the hotel of An Qingju and Yunluo was right next to the station of the famous West Coast Wilderness Railway. But it's only around 8 o'clock, and it's not yet time for the train to leave, so I wonder if the people of the town take it to work?

The West Coast Wilderness Railway is Queenston's most famous and most expensive tour. To borrow a quote from poor traveler Madrista said: "It began operation in 1896, connecting Queenstown with the seaside town of Strahan on the west coast. For various reasons, the railway ceased operation in 1963 and only in recent years has it been used as a tourist train. It has been restored to its former glory. ”

Packed up and walked to the train station, some netizens once strongly recommended this line in the post, but the itinerary was compact, take two photos to commemorate it.

Today's journey was about 260 kilometres, leaving the town of Queenston in a light rain. Follow the A10 shortly afterwards and turn onto the B28. The sky is starting to clear and the signs point to a lake, Lakeplimsoll, so stop for a break.

Later, there were several similar mountain lakes on the road, An Qingju and Yunluo did not stop, and 1 hour later An Qingju and Yunluo drove back to the A10 highway and came to the first town of today, Tara Tullah. Nestled on Lake Roseberry on Lake Rosebery, this idyllic town is beautiful. Once you've refueled here, move on.

At about half past ten, An Qingju and Yunluo followed the road sign onto Highway C132. There was a lookout on the road. If you want to climb a small hill, you can see the figure of the tour group here.

At 11 o'clock, An Qingju and Yunluo finally arrived at the entrance of Cradle Mountain National Park, the highlight of the day. Borrowing another introduction from poor traveler netizen madrista: "In 1827, the British explorer Josephfossey discovered such a beautiful mountain in central and western Tasmania, which is beautiful in shape, like an English cradle, so he named this mountain Cradle Mountain. Today, the national park comprises Cradle Mountain and Lake St. Clair covering an area of nearly 1,262 square kilometers. The national park retains priceless ecology, which is why it is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. This national park is a huge ecological treasure trove. The park is filled with spectacular mountains and waterfalls, razor-sharp cliffs, deep lakes, pristine wetlands, and virtually unspoiled wildlife habitat. With Mtossa (1,617 metres above sea level), the highest peak in Koh Ta, and Australia's deepest lake, Laketclair (200 metres deep), it's no exaggeration to say that Cradle Mountain National Park is the heart of Koh Ta. It's Tasmania's most famous attraction and an absolute landmark. Suffice it to say, no trip to Tasmania would be complete without a visit to Cradle Mountain, just like a trip to Sydney without an opera house. ”

After a brief comparison. An Qingju and Yunluo have purchased a Tasmanian National Park Pass: a car unit, up to 8 people, valid for 2 months, and can visit more than a dozen national parks. Although such a ticket has far exceeded the demand of An Qingju and Yunluo, there is no better choice. A total of 60 dollars for 4 people is still more than a dozen dollars less than buying tickets separately. Once you have purchased such a ticket, you will be able to drive into the park. It happened that there were more cars today, and the park did not allow other vehicles to enter the mountain for the time being, so I chose to take the park's minibus to start the tour. There are 10 bus stops, 5 stops for each trip. An Qingju and Yunluo decided to start the tour by car to Dovelake, the farthest lake.

Duff Lake is located near the main peak of Cradle Mountain, and the hike around the lake here is a very polular route that allows you to enjoy the beauty of Cradle Mountain from different angles. However, it takes at least two hours to circumnavigate the lake, and An Qingju and Yunluo start their tour along the path on the left in line with the principle of comfort first. After walking about 1/4 of the circle, An Qingju and Yunluo took out a picnic mat on a pebble beach near the water's edge. However, today's lunch was really simple, only the bread left over from breakfast and two tomatoes, because An Qingju and Yunluo did not find a restaurant here. After lunch, lying on the picnic mat and taking a nap, the white clouds in the sky drifted by from time to time, it was really a complete relaxation of body and mind.

After resting here, An Qingju and Yunluo stopped moving forward, returned to the station along the same road, got on the bus and went to the next station to continue hiking. This section of the hike follows a wooden boardwalk through meadows, forests and rivers, and some special discoveries have piqued the interest and imagination of An Qingju and Yunluo. There are countless animal droppings on the grass on both sides, and more than one animal can be seen.

Soon, a lot of animal feces appeared on the plank road, which made An Qingju and Yunluo "strafe" around with wide eyes. The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Most of the animals here are nocturnal, and the chance of seeing them during the day is very small. But it's exciting to close your eyes and imagine that this place becomes a paradise for animals at night. If you're really looking for the abundance of wildlife, spend the night in the park and not only will you be able to discover the 'Tasmanian Devils', but you'll probably be pleasantly surprised when you open the doors of the lodge.

This section of the hike ends at Snakehill, catch the minibus back to the starting point, and at around 3 o'clock Anqingju and Yunluo start to head towards Alverston. Follow the C132 road all the way north, passing through the towns of Wilmot and Forth to the north coast, the scenery changes between the heath, the woods, and the pastures, and soon after turning to Basshwy, Anqingju and Yunluo arrive in Alverstone.

The town is not big, and An Qingju and Yunluo easily found their place where they live today, winterbrookb&b. This B&B was found on Google at the time, and most of the mainstream tourists settled in the nearby town of Penguin, and today the mystery can finally be revealed.

Pull into the courtyard, the gravel road is a little narrow, and stop at the fountain at the entrance. The male host, Tony, was busy working in the courtyard at this time, and when he saw An Qingju and Yunlu, he came up to greet him warmly. After learning that An Qingju and Yunluo were tonight's guests, he beckoned the hostess to come and greet them. It was to the effect: "Old woman, come to the guest!" ”

The house was built in 1880 as a gentleman's residence and was later renovated and opened to become a B&B. Compared with the previous B&B, this place highlights the rich British style and traces of time, red brick fireplaces, old photos of houses, wooden walls, copper-plated switches, and various old objects, so that you can't help but be infected by this atmosphere. The joy on everyone's faces said it all, and a hanging heart was finally put into the stomach. (To be continued.) )
