Today's third watch, kneel and beg for recommendation votes!

It's still the same way back, when I came on the Lower Hills-Andamuka road, and when I went back, I still took this road.

The naming of highways in Australia is very distinctive, which is very different from that in China. If you look at the map of Australia, you will see that there are many roads with different numbers in the Australian road network, such as A1, B97, C196 and some roads with suffixes such as Rd and Track.

In Australia, the A-shaped highways are generally the main roads, equivalent to the domestic highways or national highways in China, which are generally multi-lane, and most of the toll roads are A-shaped roads; The highway with the prefix B refers to the highway between ordinary cities, which is somewhat similar to the provincial highway in China, which is mostly two-lane, and occasionally there will be a single lane in some sections; The highway with the prefix C is basically equivalent to the domestic township road or the village road, most of this kind of highway has no lane, and even in the inland area, this kind of highway will not even be paved with the road, it is a sandy road; As for the roads with the letter suffix 'Rd' (short for road), they are actually similar to the roads with the prefix C, which are roads connecting various towns; Roads with the letter 'Track' are also C-prefix roads, but they generally have a special meaning.

For example, the Lower Hills-Andamuka Highway that Tang Feng is taking now is a township-level road with the suffix 'Rd' on the map, which means the road from the Lower Hills to Andamuka.

After reaching the lower hills from this road, you will turn to the B97 highway when Tang Feng came, but after this road reaches the lower hills, it will not be called B97 road and then go north, but will become the Olympic highway, which refers to the road from the lower hills to the Olympic Dam for about six kilometers.

However, once you have crossed the Olympic Dam along the road to the north, the name of the road changes again to the 'Single Well Highway'.

This phenomenon of multiple names for a road is very common in Australia, because Australians prefer to use the local name to refer to a certain road, such as the Ayer Highway that Tang Feng and Sophia once walked, in fact, it is the A1 road.

From the Olympic Dam along the Danjing Highway to the north for about 80 kilometres, the road joins the famous Udnada Pagoda Trail, then turns east and travels about 60 kilometres to Mali.

The Udnada Tower Trail is a road with a special meaning followed by the 'Track' suffix. In the Australian outback, there are three legendary routes, one is the Udnada Trail, which is a sandy road from Mali to Mari via Udnada Tower; The second is the Birdsville Trail that Tang Feng took as he prepared to cross the Great Artesian Basin, which was a sandy road from Mali to Portsville north, which was once a route for transporting livestock; As for the third path, it is the Sizhi Self-Benefit Path, which leads from Lindhurst to Birdsville, about 70 kilometers south of Mali, and it is worth mentioning that part of Australia's famous "dog fence" is on this path. The famous 5,300-kilometre (3,312-mile) fence was built to keep away dingoes, a native breed of Australian dog that preys on southern sheep.

These three trails are legendary in the Australian outback, and any one of them is now a must-take on a road trip to the Australian outback.

If you're a road tripper, take any of these three routes and you'll get a taste of the pristine nature of the central part of the Australian continent, where you'll see the huge but scenic Loch Eyre; You'll pass by Australia's smallest town, William Creek, a town of just three people and a dog, which has far more planes than cars; You'll also admire the self-blowing wells in the Great Artesian Basin; You'll experience the desolation and ruggedness of the Simpson Desert

And the path that Tang Feng is going to take to Birdsville is the Birdsville path in the middle of the three paths.

Tang Feng didn't stop too much when passing by the Olympic Dam, just said hello to Old Keith, and asked Old Keith to appreciate the five pieces of black Australian treasure rough he dug up, during this period, after replenishing the energy of the star core, and then in the envious eyes of Old Keith, he politely declined Old Keith's invitation to lunch, drove onto the single well road, and it took less than an hour to turn onto the Udnada Tower path, and finally came to the northern town of Mali in South Australia at about half past one in the afternoon.

Mali is a typical Australian outback town, with thirty or forty houses standing on the north and south sides of the Udnada Tower Path, and the town has a total of about 100 people, and if it were not for the famous Confluence of the Birdsville Path and the Udnada Tower Path, this town would not have formed here. To know. In the outback of Australia, a town of more than 100 people is considered a big town.

After eating something casually in Mali, feeding Depp and Donnie, who were hungry all the time, and replenishing some necessary fuel, tents and other camping items, Tang Feng set foot on the Birdsville route to Birdsville at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The journey from Mali to Birdsville is more than 400 kilometers, most of which is no man's land, and there are only three human settlements on this 400-plus kilometer journey: Itadana, Mangerani and Clifton Hills. Although Tang Feng was prepared, he didn't want to camp in this kind of no-man's land.

The first settlement was in Itadana, a settlement of only five or six houses and more than ten people, located on the north bank of an endorheic river, about a hundred kilometers from Mali, which could be reached in just over an hour if the journey went well.

The Birdsville trail is not wide, it is completely sandy, but it is very smooth, and driving on it at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour is almost indistinguishable, and there is almost no bump in it, which is no different from a sports car on an asphalt road.

The terrain of the Australian interior and the vastness of the Australian continent are also destined to be mostly this kind of sandy road in the inland area, with flat and solid ground, as long as you drive on it a few more times, you can basically open a road. Of course, special sections of the road also need to be reinforced by large machinery.

However, most of the places passed by the Birdsville Road are plains, that is, the Great Artesian Basin, so the road is almost all the way through this kind of sandy road, and the sand and dust raised behind the car is like a yellow dragon that continues to stretch, which is very beautiful.

Driving on this kind of road is really as described in the lyrics of Xiao Gang's song "Dusk", "driving on the endless highway and feeling like leaving yourself". Tang Feng drove in this kind of big artesian basin that is really boundless, and it feels like he has really left himself! This feeling is fascinating, as if at this moment, there is only one person left in the world
