The fairy little penguin is about 30 centimeters tall, so the locals also call it "Penguin Island". Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Many people from all over the world come to the observation deck and observation trail of Phillip Island Nature Park to see the penguins returning to their nests, but in order to protect the penguins' habitat, only 500,000 people can come to watch them every year. Whenever the sun goes down, night falls.
Batches of little penguins come ashore in groups and return to their nests in a very cute way. Thousands of years ago, Phillip Island's Insula was home to little penguins, nesting in the sand dunes and returning early and late every day, even if they couldn't see their fingers.
For thousands of years, they have followed a fixed route back to their caves. The penguins come back at night because they are afraid of irritating their eyes by artificial light sources, so the island implements light control at this time, and only a few incandescent lamps with very small wattage are set up along the coast, and there are only a few small light bulbs that can only illuminate the shore on the seashore of more than 1,000 meters.
(Note: Due to the fact that the penguins are very timid and the "homing" is in the evening, in order to avoid the penguins being frightened, all visitors are forbidden to take photos and videos.) They have deep burrows in the dirt of the island, and the penguin family lives in deep burrows. During the day, adult penguins leave the island and swim to the deep sea one to two hundred kilometers offshore to feed.
It will take about four or five days to return. At that time, they were well fed and could bring plenty of food to the little penguins in the nest, but for unknown reasons, no matter when the penguins went out to sea, the time of return to the island was as accurate as a human time. I always land on the island after dark and when there is no light.
Churchill Island Heritage Farm is a reflection of Australia's authentic farm history. It is a fully functional, heritage-listed ranch with historic homes, country gardens, farm-raised animals, and spectacular natural scenery.
【Tour begins】Today's weather is very good. I got up early in the morning when the clouds fell, and when I walked out into the street, there were very few cars and people. There was a lighthouse next to it, and Yunluo and An Chuyu drove over to take a look. This air is so good, when is the capital... Yunluo and Ann meet for the first time today, and they are going to Phillip Island on the Mornington side.
As you can see from the map, the shortest distance is to get on the ferry by car, and if you don't take the ferry, you have to detour north to Melbourne. Not only is it far away, but it also takes a lot of time. Yunluo and An first met and came to the port, where many ships were parked. Yunluo wanted to say again. When can there be such weather in the capital.... The ferry at the port is so big that you can drive your car up.
Sail! It's a 40-minute journey from Scliff to Sorrento, so you can get off the bus and get a coffee in the cabin, or take a photo on the top deck like a cloud! Arrived in Sorrento. Yunluo just wants to say that the water here is too clear.
There weren't many people on the beach either. Yunluo and An Chuyu continued to drive to Phillip Island, usually to see the little penguins return to their nests after dark at night, so Yunluo and An Chuyu first drove to the island's Churchill Island Heritage Farm, which is a traditional Australian farm.
There are many activities every day, such as milking cows, sheepdog herding sheep, throwing boomerangs, etc., the specific time can be seen on the official website: .au/s/churchill-island/activities/ Yunluo and An first met to arrive at exactly 3pm. It was interesting to watch the shepherd dog drive the sheep.
Later, I went to throw a boomerang. There are a lot of animals on the farm, especially sheep. Yunluo, a child in the capital, is too fond of the blue sky... There are also a lot of cottages on the farm. Shows what a farm family looked like in the last century. The sheep were still very afraid of people, and when they saw them, they walked away.
At dusk, Yunluo and Ann first met and came to the Penguin Island Nature Reserve. In order to protect the little penguins, photography and videography are prohibited inside. Australia's little penguins are tiny, and they return to shore in flocks at the point, which is spectacular. There will be grandstands by the sea. After dark, the penguins' return to the nest begins.
If you come early. Dinner can be settled first. The official website of the Penguin Ecological Reserve: .au/s/penguin-parade/ After seeing the penguins, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove back to Melbourne. In Melbourne, Yunluo and An Chumet stayed at a friend's house, so they didn't book a hotel.
Yunluo and An Chuyu will visit the University of Melbourne in Melbourne today and take a flight to Cairns in the afternoon. Founded in 1853, the University of Melbourne is the second oldest university in Australia (three years later than the University of Sydney) and the oldest university in Victoria.
The University of Melbourne is one of Australia's six sandstone universities, a core member of GroupofEight, a founding member and secretariat of Universitas21, and an internationally renowned consortium of research universities.
One of the member universities of the Asia-Pacific International Trade Education and Research Alliance (PACIBER). As one of the leading academic centres in the Southern Hemisphere, the University of Melbourne is ranked in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (2010, 2011, 2012), the Academic Ranking of World Universities (2011, 2012) and the World University Rankings for the Quality of Scientific Papers (2010, 2011, 2012).
The University of Melbourne was ranked 28th out of more than 20,000 universities in the world in the 2012 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. 2nd in the Asia-Pacific region (after the University of Tokyo, Japan, which is ranked 27th). In the 2012QS World University Rankings.
The University of Melbourne is ranked 36th in the world with an overall rating of 83.2. Melbourne Business School has always been ranked among the top 100 in the world, and is listed in the world's top 50 MBA programs by the UK's Advanced Skilled Migration Visa Program, and graduates are eligible to work directly in the UK. 【Start of the trip】The weather is also good today. Yunluo and Ann Chuyu plan to visit the University of Melbourne.
It was also one of the two universities targeted for the trip, the other being the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. Yunluo and An Chuyu live in a car passing by Toolak, a wealthy area of Melbourne with a lot of local tycoons. Come to Ormond College, University of Melbourne (Llege).
There is a lot of European Gothic architecture here. The bikes on campus are all nice! This is the corridor of a building in the middle of the campus, where someone took wedding photos when Yunluo and An first met. Lawn in college. It was not early to come out of the University of Melbourne. Yunluo and Ann met for the first time and went to the airport, taking a plane all the way north to Cairns.
Great barrier reef. The clouds are falling!
Today, Yunluo and An Chuyu will join a day trip to URES, take a cruise to Green Island, and then continue sailing to the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is a coastal city and a local administrative area in northern Queensland, Australia. In the early days, it was an export seaport for transporting minerals from the western interior.
It later developed into a seaport city for sugar production and sugar export. Today, Keynes is growing rapidly. It has a population of about 124,000 and is particularly active in the tourism industry. The Great Barrier Reef (f), the world's largest and longest coral reef group, is located off the northeast coast of Australia in the South Pacific, and it runs through the Coral Sea off Queensland, northeast Australia.
From the Torres Strait in the north to the south of the Tropic of Cancer (about 10°S to 24°S), it stretches for about 2,600 kilometers and is 161 kilometers wide at its widest point. There are about 2,900 individual reefs [3] and 900 large and small islands spread over an area of about 344,400 square kilometers. The natural landscape is very special.
The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is 241 kilometres from the coast at its farthest point, the northern tip is closer, and the nearest point is only 16 kilometres from the shore. At low tide. Some of the coral reefs are exposed to form coral islands. Between the reef and the coast, it is a very convenient sea route. When the wind and waves are calm, the pleasure boat passes by, and the colorful and multi-shaped coral scenery continues under the boat.
It has become the best underwater wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world. The Great Barrier Reef is made up of billions of tiny polyps and is the largest living object ever built, even from outer space. Because of its rich biodiversity, it was inscribed on the World Natural Heritage List in 1981.
It has also been selected as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Most of the Great Barrier Reef is under the protection of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. This reduces human influence on the area, such as fishing, tourism, etc. But there are still other environmental factors that affect the Great Barrier Reef. For example, coral bleaching and the periodic increase in crown of thorns starfish caused by runaway currents or climate change.
The Great Barrier Reef is also a popular tourist destination, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns region. Tourism is an important economic activity here, with an annual output value of about one billion US dollars. Green Island is a number of islands of various sizes near the Great Barrier Reef, among which Green Island is the most popular among tourists.
Green Island is a coral island formed about 6,000 years ago, with an area of less than 1 square kilometer, and the slender beach on the island is clear and sandy, and the quality is excellent. 【Itinerary begins】The plane flew to Cairns in the evening, and Yunluo and An Chuyu took a taxi to the place where they lived——。
For the information about this hotel (which is actually an apartment), Yunluo will explain it in detail in the [Accommodation] section of the [User Guide] later. There are a number of ferry companies operating cruises from Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef as well as day trips, and Yunluo and Ann first met with UES Island & Ure.
Green Island and Great Barrier Reef Tour. The tour includes: catamaran high-speed boat transfers to and from Cairns Pier before departure. Hot tea or coffee will be provided on board, two-hour Green Island excursion, three-hour Norman Outer Barrier Reef tour, complimentary Green Island and Norman Outer Barrier Reef snorkeling equipment, free use of buoyancy vests on Norman Great Barrier Reef, coral reef ecological introduction, sumptuous seafood buffet lunch.
Take a semi-submarine to enjoy the wonderful underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef Ecological Explanation Price: Trip price 6 = 159 (¥890.4) per person.
Morning. Yunluo and An Chuyu got up and went to the docks, Cairns is not a big city, and most places can be reached on foot. However, Yunluo and An Chuyu's place is a little far away, and it takes 20 minutes to walk. This is the URES double-decker cruise, in fact, there are three times, and the top is an open-air platform.
Take the cruise ship and come to the upper level, although the sea breeze is a bit strong. But the view is still good, you can see a lot of underwater coral reefs. The cruise ship first came to Green Island. Due to its large tonnage, it can only be parked far away, and the coral reefs in the water are very beautiful. There is a visitor center on Green Island.
The island's facilities and attractions can be described here. The island is full of flora, and it is supposed to be a tropical rainforest. The sandy beaches on the island are also good. The sea is very clear. This beautiful view is perfect for snorkeling, and you can see not only the beautiful coral reef but also a variety of fish.
This is a family of four, mom and dad snorkeling with two children, it's fun! After a two-hour stay at Green Island, Yunluo and An Chuyu continued their cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. Yunluo and An Chuyu docked on a large water platform and had a buffet lunch here. There's also a semi-submarine where you can sit and watch the corals and fish in the water.
However, this glass is a little dirty, if you have the conditions, you should dive to see. See large areas of corals in a semi-submarine. However, the corals are said to be dead. There are also schools of fish. After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to take a helicopter overlook of the Great Barrier Reef. There is room for 6 people in the helicopter, so it is recommended to sit in the front. It's cool to watch!
Looking at the Great Barrier Reef in a helicopter, Yunluo sits in the back, and if you want to take a photo through the glass, there will be some glass reflections, and if you sit in front of you and have a small open window, it is very good for shooting. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef from an airplane. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef from an airplane. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef from an airplane. The platform in the distance is where Yunluo and An first met and docked on a cruise ship.
Personally, I feel that the helicopter is still more worthwhile, and it is much more shocking than watching it on the ship. It's just more expensive. In the afternoon, Yunluo and An first met on a cruise ship back to Cairns City, the sun was just right when they got off the ship, and the port was very beautiful. There will be a lot of seagulls at the beach, and if you feed them, more will fly over.
However, Yunluo and An didn't bring anything to eat when they first met, so why don't you sit on the shore and watch the sunset and feed the seagulls, what a pleasant evening! In the evening, Yunluo and An Chuyu found this restaurant with more recommendations, shrimp specialty store, the taste is not bad, and the seat before 6:30 p.m. is 85% off, but the price is still relatively expensive, tourist city.
Understandable. For more information about this store, Yunluo will introduce it in detail later in [Practical Guide: Catering and Food]. After eating, back to the hotel, today's trip is over, the Great Barrier Reef is a wonder of the world, giving people a very shocking memory. However, from a later trip, when Yunluo and An first met and played the Whitsunday Islands, they found out.
Keynes seems to be very cost-effective, the specific reason is that Yunluo is sold here first, please see the Whitsunday part of Yunluo's travelogue. Kuranda takes a cable car, a train, and sees the rainforest. Kuranda [itinerary description] Today, Yunluo and An met for the first time to visit Kuranda in the northwest of Cairns, go by cable car, and return by train. The cable car is a red line.
The train is a green line. Kuranda is a small town hidden in the rainforest about 27 kilometers north of Cairns, Queensland. Kuranda was first built as a railway station in 1850. At that time, logging and mining became the main industries in the region.
Kuranda, as the only transportation hub in the region at the time, served to transport and store goods; provide accommodation for travellers; and the positive role of promoting the local Turkish culture. The town is named after the Turkish language and has a population of only about 750 people. However, more than 500,000 tourists from home and abroad take the train every year.
Take a car or aerial cable car to visit Kuranda and its surrounding rainforest area. Kuranda is a small town, but it is located in the middle of a beautiful rainforest. Towering hundred-year-old trees, cascading waterfalls, trickling streams, rare wildlife, and small flowers on both sides of the road exude a lush fragrance.
All of them outline a paradise-like beauty for Kuranda. In order to allow tourists to better enjoy the beautiful scenery here without damaging the ecological environment, the government built the famous aerial cable car. With a total area of 7.5 kilometers, it is the longest cable car in the world. Passing through 12 towers on the way, Tower 6 is the highest point with an elevation of 40.5 meters.
The cable car starts and ends at Lake Kalavonica and Kuranda, with stops at Redpeak and Barron Falls, and an observation deck around it. There is a Rainforest Research Center near Barron Falls Station.
Illustrated and illustrated, visitors are introduced to the ecological environment of the tropical rainforest. 【Itinerary begins】Yunluo and An Chuyu booked a day trip, hotel pick-up, cable car to train back, $119 (¥666.4) per adult, in addition to this, there are multiple packages to choose from, you can visit one of the parks above.
