Chapter 62: Target—Kangaroo Island
Bow and thank you for the tip of "Xiaguang 001.2300" greatly again 100! What, I can only separate the numbers behind your name, otherwise it will be a row of asterisks, please understand.
Tang Feng, who was in a good mood, took Depp and Donnie, the two little bodyguards, to accompany the beautiful Sophia to have a big breakfast, and then drove along the Eyre Highway to continue walking.
"Don, my vacation is coming to an end, and in three days, I have to go back to the United States" As if she didn't want to disturb Tang Feng's good mood, Sophia whispered these words after chattering in the car for a long time.
Tang Feng, who was driving, slammed the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and looked at Sophia very seriously and said, "Are you leaving with three days of vacation?" ”
"Don, as much as I'd love to keep playing with you, I've been out for almost a week, and my vacation was scheduled long before I came to Australia, and there's still a lot of things to go back to after the holiday, so I have to say sorry" Sophia didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Tang Feng grinned and wanted to say something, but suddenly found that he couldn't say anything, so he simply dropped the car window, then took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs hard, and then said: "There are still three days, well, then our trip has to be accelerated." There is no such thing as a feast, Sophia, although we will eventually separate, but it doesn't matter, after all, don't we have three more days to continue playing? ”
In fact, the contact in the past two days has made these two young people have a good impression of each other, although no one has pierced that relationship, but both Tang Feng and Sophia have understood something in their hearts, and the two of them seem to enjoy the current atmosphere, until the topic of Sophia leaving is brought up, the two of them can really see their hearts clearly.
Since separation is indispensable, then simply ignore the sorrow of separation now, and enjoy yourself while there is still time.
Therefore, hearing Tang Feng say this, Sophia, who was in a somewhat depressed mood, also raised her head and said to Tang Feng with a smile: "Yes, we still have three days, Tang, I want to go to Kangaroo Island to see, I have only heard of the magic of Kangaroo Island before, but I have never been there." Shall we go there for a day? ”
Sophia's Kangaroo Island, in fact, the real name should be Kangalu Island, because there are many kangaroos on this island, whether in the field or on the road, grass, sand, kangaroos can be seen running and jumping quickly with their "spring legs", so it is also known as the nickname of "Kangaroo Island".
In fact, Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island after Tasmania and Melville, covering an area of more than 4,400 square kilometres. Kangaroo Island is located at the entrance to St. Vincent's Bay in South Australia, just over 110 kilometres from Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.
Kangaroo Island is one of the must-visit destinations for visitors to South Australia, receiving more than 150,000 visitors each year, making it a well-known tourist destination even in the whole of Australia.
Kangaroo Island was previously connected to the Australian mainland, but was separated from the Australian mainland about 9,000 years ago due to rising sea levels, resulting in a relatively independent and unique biosphere on the island. Later in 1802, the British explorer Matthew . Flindas discovered the island and named it Kangalu Island.
In 1836, the first European colonial city in South Australia was established on Kangaroo Island, which is now the largest city on Kangaroo Island, Kingscote, and later Kingscote was nominated as the capital of South Australia, but because the island's resources could not support such a huge demand, the capital of South Australia was later set in Adelaide.
On Kangaroo Island, because of its relatively isolated environment, it retains a lot of unique local scenery and creatures, so this island is also taken seriously by the Australian authorities. There are as many as six national parks and conservation parks on Kangaroo Island alone, which is why Kangaroo Island is one of the most famous tourist destinations.
Sophia wants to go to Kangaroo Island to have a look, this is human nature, even if Sophia doesn't say it, Tang Feng has this idea, so Tang Feng said very happily: "No problem, in fact, I have never been to Kangaroo Island, so I also want to go there to have a look." Beauties, let's head to Kangaroo Island! ”
Depp and Donnie, who were held in Sophia's arms, also showed their little furry heads and screamed twice at Tang Feng, as if they agreed with their master's proposal.
Sophia kissed the heads of the two little ones affectionately, smiled and nodded at Tang Feng, Tang Feng refueled the soles of his feet, and the V8 engine suddenly burst out with surging power, quickly pushing the huge Land Rover to a speed of 100 miles per hour.
There are two routes to get to Kangaroo Island from the small town of Yaralta, one is to reach Ceduna, no longer follow the Eyre Highway, but turn to Highway 100 and drive all the way along the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula directly to Port Lincoln, and then take a ferry from Port Lincoln across the 150-plus Gulf of Spencer to Kangaroo Island. This route is the shortest, but it takes a ferry across the sea.
The alternative route is to continue along the Eyre Highway after reaching Ceduna, and after reaching Port Augusta, continue south on Highway 1, continue south on the M2 via Adelaide, until you reach Cape Jervis at the end of the Florillo Peninsula, and then take a ferry across the 13-kilometre-wide Bactois Strait into Kangaroo Island. The route was much longer than the first one, but it was good enough to cover the entire El Highway, and Sophia's rented Beetle needed to take care of the rest of the journey to Port Augusta.
It is precisely because of this that the two of them discussed and decided to take the second route. However, it would take nearly 1,300 kilometers to take the second route, which is more than double the 600 kilometers of the first route, but fortunately, both of them can drive, and if they take turns driving, they will be able to get to Kangaroo Island in a day and a night after removing the problem of dealing with the Beetle car in Port Augusta.
Now that the route has been decided, the next time is the time period for the extreme speed.
Whether it's Tang Feng or Sophia, driving is very fierce, plus the road conditions in South Australia are very good, and there are few vehicles on the road, so even if it is maintained at a speed of 100 miles per hour, it is not a problem for two people.
In this way, under the impetus of the fierce rock music released by the car stereo, the two men went straight all the way, arrived at Port Augusta that afternoon, and after spending 4,000 Australian dollars to deal with the problem of the Beetle convertible, the two men continued south, and finally arrived at Jervis Point at almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow morning, you can take a ferry to the famous Kangaroo Island.
