Section 983 Wait for the rain

The thenut hill in the town is the town's iconic landscape and attracts countless tourists every year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For Stanley's accommodation reservations, please refer to the departure preparation post before the clouds fall. The only caveat is that all bookings are made to the town lady who was warm and kind and helped Anqing Ju and Yunluo with useful information about nearby wildlife and buying lobster.
An Qingju and Yunluo's residence today is a ** sea view house:age. This villa has three bedrooms, a living room with a two-person Jacuzzi, an open kitchen with an oven, induction cooker and other full kitchen utensils, and a washing machine and dryer. The furnishings in the house are classic and sophisticated, with a warm atmosphere. An Qingju and Yunluo were very satisfied with this house, and threw the clothes they had accumulated in the past few days into the washing machine before going out, and they could dry them when they came back at night.
After packing up, An Qingju and Yunluo went to the town's aquatic product store outside the door, and they could see the eye-catching red lobster on the roof in the distance. When I went to the store, I saw that the lobsters were jumping around one by one, and people couldn't wait to take them all. Today's price: 75 dollars/kg for fresh lobster under 2kg, 65 dollars/kg for more than 2kg, and 50 dollars/kg for frozen lobster. As a reminder, lobsters cooked on ice on the same day are also considered fresh lobsters. But this price is so much more expensive than the lobster you buy at the Sydney Fish Market. Is it really "the source is not as good as the gathering", and what the real result is, the mystery will be revealed in the Sydney chapter.
After buying the lobster. Then go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and today's dinner is ready. Put the ingredients back at your accommodation and head to thenut in the morning. It was already five o'clock when I came to the nut, and the ropeway station was about to get off work, so I only bought a one-way ropeway ticket, 5 dollars per person.
Coming to the mountains, the wind here is noticeably stronger. The view is of course even better. Circumnavigating the path up the hill, strange potholes on the way attract Yunluo's attention.
At that time, it was only known that it was a nest of seabirds. It is possible to see them only at night. Later, after a large number of detailed, meticulous, meticulous and patient data collection, it turned out that this was the nest of the short-tailed cut-billed gull SHORT-RS. The birds fly to the Arctic in April each year and fly back to Stanley around September to breed their offspring, a one-way migration that takes six weeks. Fly over 15,000 km. They never dock during this process, so scientists have no way of knowing their migration routes. When the breeding season comes, they dig holes in the surface until they are 1 meter deep underground. After laying eggs, males and females begin to take turns incubating eggs, changing every 2 weeks. When the babies are born, they feed them to the size of two adults and fly away from the area in early April to the North Pole. From the beginning of April to the beginning of May. The chicks stopped eating and gradually lost half of their weight, while their wings began to plump. 2-3 weeks after their parents leave. These inexperienced chicks will take to the skies and begin their journey to the North Pole.
The wind at the top of the mountain is constantly strengthening, which has made people a little unable to open their eyes, and the grass on the top of the mountain is whirring, and such a wind should be 8 or 9. When I look at Nut from afar, I think it's a small hill. Who knows that it takes time to walk on it.
Gradually descending along the road to the small forest in the mountains, the wind finally lightened a lot. Suddenly. The unusual noise in the bushes attracted the attention of An Qingju and Yunluo. Leaning down and looking into the woods, I felt a wave of ecstasy, which can be said to be a major discovery in the history of Stanley's zoology in the 21st century: An Qingju and Yunluo actually met a few wallabies on the small nut mountain. On the road in Tasmania, An Qingju and Yunluo saw countless wallabies that died in car accidents, but they never had the opportunity to see them alive.
The scientific name of this wallabby is derived from the words of the local Aborigines. Unlike the kangaroo often referred to by Anqing Ju and Yunluo, this wallaby is much smaller, about 1 meter long and can weigh up to 12kg, they mainly inhabit the woods, and only come to the open space not far from the forest at dusk, which is unique to Tasmania. After catching and hiding with this group of kangaroos for a long time, An Qingju and Yunluo reluctantly left the woods.
Back at home, everyone started to cook again, today's chef is two LD, friends are responsible for washing clothes, and then dealing with lobsters with Yunluo. After a while, a sumptuous dinner was put on the table, praise the hard-working friends and LDs, and hurry up to take a photo.
This Tasmanian lobster is really not covered, it tastes delicious, especially the meat in the shrimp leg has umami and a faint seawater taste, and it is eaten in the mouth with a light suck, which is the best part of the lobster that Yunluo thinks. There is really a lot of meat on this lobster, and An Qingju and Yunluo didn't finish it in the end. What to do? Finally, there is a chance for Yunluo to appear, and I want to know what the fate of the lobster is.
At this point, night had fallen, and An Qingju and Yunluo decided to start trying the secret weapon in this room. The backyard and foyer are piled up with hills of wood, and if you don't use them, you'll feel sorry. What are you doing with them? Don't tell Yunluo to use the bed. Well, to reveal the mystery, that's because there is a real fire fireplace "sitting" in the living room of An Qingju and Yunluo, and on such a "warm and cold" night, it is time to make it serve the people. Put the more ignitable strips of wood in the fireplace, put two pieces of ignition materials, and as soon as the match approaches, the fire will ignite, and the next thing is to call for fine wood, medium wood, thick wood, anyway.
Putting down this matter, it's time for Yunluo to cook. Looking at today's leftover rice and the scraps of celery, Yunluo is already confident, so let's have a seafood porridge that people in South China like to see, but the ingredients of An Qingju and Yunluo are more violent, so it is more appropriate to call it "Tasmanian lobster porridge". Boil the porridge and put in the lobster head cut by your friend, stirring from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan. Because cooked rice is used, it can be cooked after 10 minutes, and the porridge has turned golden brown by this time, and when it comes out of the pot, add some celery leaves instead of coriander, and if you boil it with two slices of ginger, it will be perfect.
On such a cool summer night, half-leaning on the sofa, drinking steaming, sweet lobster porridge, the fireplace flame jumping happily, the fresh sea breeze blowing from the window, the sea water deep and calm under the moonlight. Oh my God, what could be a more comfortable life!
Yesterday's days in Stanley made Yunluo feel unsatisfied, so today he and LD got up early and drove to the town's dock to find out. The town's dock is not large, and there is an RV campsite around it, and when you approach the dock, you will find a lobster factory, and most of the lobsters must be sent to various places through this factory.
On the pier, several anglers attract Yunluo's attention. When I stepped forward, I really had a harvest - a fresh big squid, and the clouds were really itchy, and I don't know if I would have the opportunity to try sea fishing on this trip.
The signs on the pier tell people about the common fish and fishing rules, and the ruler below can help you measure if the fish you catch are in accordance with the regulations. You don't need to buy SE for fishing in Tasmania, except for certain species, but don't forget to buy SE when fishing in freshwater.
Today we have to take a bit of a turning back, along the basshwy all the way east, past the towns that Anqing Ju and Yunluo passed yesterday to Devonport, Tasmania's third largest city. If you choose to visit Koh Tasmania from Melbourne aboard the Spirit of Tasmania, this is where the ship will call. After driving around here for a while, An Qingju and Yunluo drove south to Sheffield, a very characteristic town. Along the B14 highway, the two sides returned to the idyllic scenery, and suddenly a very distinctive small pavilion attracted An Qingju and Yunluo, so I stopped to find out.
At noon, An Qingju and Yunluo came to the mural town of Sheffield. At that time, there was nothing special about this town, and I don't know who came up with the idea of having a painter paint on the walls of the town's houses, and over time it became a characteristic of the town. There are about 50 murals in the town, and near the town's R is the mural park with the highest concentration of murals.
Because the iPad still has no signal, R in the town looked at the map on the wall, took some information, set up the navigation and moved on. Along the B13 highway near WN, I drove the long-lost basshwy, and tried two feet of floor oil here, the response of the engine was a little lagging, and the acceleration feeling was not obvious after the revs came up, so it was better to enter the fuel saving mode. After a short drive along Basshwy, turn left onto B72 and then B71 and follow the road until you will take WestTamarhwy to the famous Tamar Valley Wine Route. The Tamar Valley is an area on both sides of the Tamar River, dotted with pastures and wine estates, but An Qingju and Yunluo are "drunkards don't mean to drink", and the real intention of this trip is to visit lavender.
