Section 978 Loneliness

readx;

Pushing open the door of the restaurant, there were no customers in the restaurant, only a young man at the bar drinking and chatting with a few old people, and the melody of "Hotel California" echoed in the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Surveying the dining room, there are old jukeboxes and cigarette vending machines and all sorts of old objects on the walls, and large axes, chainsaws, and large cutting gears hanging from the walls.

Don't think about it crookedly, listen to Yunluo say it down. There's also a picture on the wall, huh? Isn't the person in the photo the guy at the bar? Some of the color-changing photographs record the young man's life experiences, as well as his friends and customers.

I looked at the menu on the blackboard on the wall and went to the bar to order. While ordering, I overheard the old man asking the waitress, "Is that the driver Jack, who was there at the time", "I'm sorry, that car?" There is no one in it". Yunluo instantly looked at the big photos on the wall, and also understood why this restaurant has so many "heavy weapons".

Presumably, this must have been a small town dominated by the logging industry, and these old people were the builders of the year, and they were frequent visitors here, and their youthful memories are recorded in the photos. did not interrupt their conversation, so that the old man continued to immerse himself in the memories, and Yunluo was also infected by the traces of time revealed by this restaurant!

After a while, An Qingju and Yunluo's meal came. At first glance, An Qingju and Yunluo regretted a little, these burgers and sandwiches were all sufficient, but in fact, it was enough to order three portions.

Although the town is far from the central area, the ingredients are very fresh, and each dish has been praised by An Qingju and Yunluo, and it is no exaggeration to call it the best burger and sandwich on An Qingju and Yunluo's trip. After eating, ask the lad for directions, and from here you will reach the treetopwalk for about 6km. Some reluctantly left the restaurant to take pictures.

After a while, An Qingju and Yunluo arrived at the entrance of the otwaytreetopwalk. Here is a brief introduction to the attractions, in fact, no matter the treetop walk. Or the Otway Lighthouse where An Qingju and Yunluo will go, both belong to the Great Otway National Park.

The entire park is located in the Great Ocean Road area between Anglesea and Capeotway and covers an area of 100,000 hectares. The Treetop Walk is a steel skywalk through Australia's tallest treetops, measuring around 600 metres in length and 45 metres at its highest point, and can withstand strong winds of 280km/h.

It is the longest and highest treetop walk of its kind in the world. Although the construction of that year invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources. But now the social and economic benefits have far outstripped the benefits of rainforest deforestation, providing visitors with a unique experience.

Tickets bought at Lorne come in handy at this time, show them and enter the park for a walking tour. The road is surrounded by tall trees and ferns, and it will not take long to follow the directions to the entrance. After playing around, the overall feeling is very good, and there is a passage that leans out more interestingly.

The tour took about 1 and a half hours, after which you got on the bus and got ready to head to the next attraction - the Capeotway Lighthouse.

Get in the car and take out your camera to look at the map you took in the town. If you follow the road at this point, you can drive back to the Great Ocean Road. But the lighthouse will be missed, and there must be a way back, and it will not be short.

Another option is to go back the way you came, there is a southbound dirt road near the town, which can be plugged directly back into the Great Ocean Road, and you can get to the lighthouse not far away. After the discussion, once again play the spirit of today's unconventional road, turn back to the town and follow the Binnsrd and Airevalleyrd paths to the Great Ocean Road.

This road is arguably the wildest stretch of the road. But the navigation is still meticulous work, and the whole sandstone road is smooth but smooth. It's about 30 km, and it takes 40 or 50 minutes to drive, and from the signs on both sides, there are many trucks here. There are no landscapes along the way, but there are surprises.

An Qingju and Yunluo saw a total of 5 groups of red parrots, more than 10 or so, so Yunluo preferred to name this road according to Yunluo's way: "Parrot Path".

Finally turned onto the Great Ocean Road. The road surface is smooth, which makes people a little uncomfortable. Follow the signs and turn left onto the road to the lighthouse. On this road, the whole car is going to cheer up, why? Because there's koalas here! Although the guide I have seen in the past says that there is a eucalyptus forest there, we don't know each other.

The car drove for a while. Suddenly a friend who was driving shouted, "Koala"! It's really fake, you can still see koalas while driving, everyone will get out of the car suspiciously and take a look, and they have won the lottery! There was more than one in the tree, and it was shot wildly. The cars coming from behind pulled over and joined the shooting team. Stopping and stopping along the way, there were more than a dozen koalas I saw.

The closest contact with the koala was when returning from the lighthouse, passing near the gate (the ground was iron-paved). I also heard the cry of a koala, which was very inconsistent with the identity, a bit like a cow. If you can't find a koala after reading this post, then you have to blame yourself.

I didn't plan to go to the lighthouse, so I didn't buy a ticket at Lorne, and I just wanted to see the scenery around. After arriving, I found that the Australian people here are a little unkind, and the entrance is very far ahead, and it takes a while to go in and walk. If you don't buy a ticket, you won't even be able to see the sea, let alone the lighthouse.

In that case, then buy a ticket to go in, and don't leave regrets. Overall, this lighthouse is more simple than the lighthouse that An Qingju and Yunluo saw yesterday, and it is not pretty, but the surrounding view is not bad, much stronger than yesterday's. This lighthouse was ranked second in the end, and the more beautiful lighthouse is still waiting in Tasmania for Anqingju and Yunluo.

After leaving here, An Qingju and Yunluo began to rush to the most important attraction of the day - the 12 Disciples Scenic Area. After returning to the Great Ocean Road from Lighthouse Road, most of the way to Gibson Steps will be away from the ocean view and will instead be on the mountain road.

After a while, the left side of the road began to recreate the sea view, at this time pay attention to the roadside signs, after seeing the Gibsonsteps directions, An Qingju and Yunluo stopped to take pictures, which is also the only one in the nearby attractions that can go down to the beach.

By the time I left Gibson Steps, it was past 7 o'clock. All the way forward, I didn't see the sign of the 12 disciples, and I arrived at the town of Porter Campbell. So check it in first. Put your luggage down. The host had already left, but the keys had been left at the door. Inside the hotel is a large yard, surrounded by guest rooms, and there is a parking space in front of the house.

An Qingju and Yunluo live in a ** red brick house, the room is much larger than yesterday, clean and tidy. Two bedrooms with kitchen and living room, highly recommended.

After a brief tidying up, I asked the locals about the location of the Twelve Apostles, walked back along the Great Ocean Road for about 10 minutes, and saw a street sign pointing to Lochardge, which must be here. As soon as the car drove in, I found that there were three parking lots, where were the twelve apostles?

Look from left to right. After arriving at the last parking lot, there is still a long way to go from the viewing location, seeing that the sunset is about to set, An Qingju and Yunluo 4 of them are wearing jackets and running wildly against the wind, and they haven't eaten at more than 8 o'clock, which can be imagined. When I got to the first place, it wasn't, and I walked for another half a day before returning to the parking lot.

I didn't know until the fact. The place where An Qingju and Yunluo practice long-distance running today is Lockard Canyon, which is also a famous scenic spot.

Dragging a tired body. It was past 9 p.m. when we drove back to town, and most of the restaurants and shops in the town were closed. You can't carry it like that, right? Suddenly, I saw that a restaurant was still open, and when I looked closely, it was actually the waves mentioned in the guide.

Hurriedly parked the car, went in and asked, what do you want to eat. Then order it. What impressed Yunluo the most in the dish was the ginger-flavored fish rice in Yunluo's order, which tasted very special and was worth trying.

After eating a meal, 4 people 95.5 dollars. Not bad. The waiters here are enthusiastic and responsive. Before leaving, he actually said Chinese to An Qingju and Yunluo: "Goodbye". This is the first time I heard a foreigner greet An Qingju and Yunluo in Chinese, and quickly said to the guy, "yourchineseisverygood". When the guy heard this, he laughed shyly.

Walking out of the restaurant, a police car drove on, and when I saw An Qingju and Yunluo stopped, could it be that An Qingju and Yunluo committed an accident? Before he had time to think about it, the police uncle opened his mouth to say "hello", which turned out to be to practice speaking. But these two sentences of Chinese dialect before and after make Yunluo feel warm every time he thinks of this town.

Last night, I used my ipad to check the posts I had read before, and finally understood the location of the 12 disciples, and I could only blame myself for being careless when I was doing my homework and missed the sunset of the 12 disciples.

Here is also a summary of the attractions near the 12 Apostles: if you come from the direction of Apollobay, when approaching Portcampbell, the three attractions of GibsonSteps, 12 Apostles, and Lochardge will appear in turn, not far away, but all by car. The Gibson Steps are signposted on the left side of the direction of progress.

12 Apostles have street signs, but it is not written 12 Apostles, it seems to be XX Park, on the right hand side of the road, there is a good paved road extending into it, which has a viewing helicopter and a more conspicuous visitor center, and you need to walk through the underpass of the road to the other side to see the scenery when visiting.

Lochardge Park is signposted, and on the left-hand side of the direction, there are three viewing areas, so you need to drive to the corresponding parking lot and then walk to see the view.

At checkout, the host, an enthusiastic middle-aged woman, also told An Qingju and Yunluo the location of the 12 disciples again. Leaving the town, driving back a short distance, I saw a street sign that said xx park, and this is it.

I actually passed by here yesterday, but I didn't pay attention. You said such a famous attraction, why don't you write the names of the 12 disciples? Let's get out of the car and make up for yesterday's regrets.

After leaving these two attractions, set the destination to Warrnambool, and after a short walk past a small town, the navigation bands Anqingju and Yunluo left the Great Ocean Road and began to travel through the pastures. The roads connecting the pastures are in good condition, and you can see cattle and sheep on both sides of the pastures and large irrigation machines from time to time.

It's really relaxing to wander through the ranch scenery. Around noon, Anqingju and Yunluo returned to the Great Ocean Road and came to Warrnambool via Princeshwy. Warrnambool is a place where you can go whale watching, but unfortunately it's not the season. When approaching the town, I obviously felt the increase in vehicles, and 4S shops selling cars began to appear on both sides.

This signal tells Yunluo that this will be a very large town. Sure enough, An Qingju and Yunluo, who had been running wild in the wild for a few days, finally found some urban feeling here.

Lunch at McDonald's, go in and see, only to know what is cheap, a meal to eat four people 25.5 dollars, Yunluo originally did not eat these things in the country, but today I think the taste is not bad, especially French fries (fries) to focus on. Later, I dined at McDonald's a few times during the trip, and the taste of the fries still makes Yunluo linger.

After eating, drive aboard Princeshwy and head to Melbourne. Not long after getting on the highway, the navigation suddenly asked An Qingju and Yunluo to get off the highway, and they wanted to make trouble, ignore it and continue walking.

However, after a few steps, there is a warning ahead that the road is interrupted, so please take a detour. While the ipad still has a signal, I simply checked the map, turned around and walked back, and actually walked on the road that the original navigation pointed to. After a short detour along this road, I successfully returned to Princeshwy, beauty!

Someone said, is this navigation so accurate? To Yunluo said, this is "clever clever, coincidental (extreme)". Because Yunluo didn't update the road conditions, the navigation wouldn't know the road conditions, but it just happened to want An Qingju and Yunluo to copy a section of the road.

After driving out for more than ten minutes, I came to a farm near a village, and a sign in front of me made Yunluo a little big: "Broken road, please detour." I saw a bridge in front of me, the river below was fast, and some sandbags were placed on the side of the road. After reading so many strategies, I have never seen such twists and turns back to Melbourne.

Although the floods in Queensland are well known during this time, Victoria is not so peaceful, with occasional flooding in some areas. Hurry up and get out of the car to ask for directions, and asked the uncle who was walking the dog next to him, but he didn't explain it back and forth. I had to look at the map left on the ipad again, and found that there should be a road ahead, so I got in the car. This section of the road is about a few kilometers around.

Took a short gravel road. When passing through a section of the road, I noticed that there were many tanned aquatic plants on both sides, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, which seemed to have passed by the flood not long ago. I didn't go the wrong way at all, and I returned to Princeshwy again. Since then, An Qingju and Yunluo have finally embarked on a smooth road. (To be continued......)
