Tropical Storm Yasi will make landfall in north-east Queensland late, with winds of more than 320 kilometers per hour and winds of up to 500 kilometers wide. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Due to the rush of time, many local supermarkets were not stocked, and the goods on the shelves were snapped up, causing a lot of panic.

But the media was used in real time to stabilize people's minds and evacuate local residents in a timely manner, and the army and police were also mobilized to help evacuate travelers and local workers in the city center to safe locations. The Queensland Premier announces updates on the situation and the progress of the rescue work on television every hour, which plays a key role in reassuring and stabilizing people's minds. ”

Yunluo and An Qingju are really lucky, and I wish the visitors and residents of Cairns safe and sound.

After breakfast, Yunluo and LD took the bus to Circularquay to meet up with friends. A friend bought a Sydney weeklypass in advance, which allows you to take unlimited buses, subways, light rail and ferries for a week, and the price is $42 per ticket. Sydney's buses are mainly air-conditioned, and there are not many people on the bus, and everyone has a seat.

When the bus approached the city, the number of vehicles increased significantly, and Yunluo and An Qingju's cars were rubbing forward step by step, and they finally experienced the feeling of congestion here, and Yunluo felt like they were on the way to work.

◇◆Most of the people in the city are dressed professionally, their steps are hurried, and sometimes they don't look at the traffic lights to cross the intersection, which is very different from the slow pace of life that Yunluo and An Qingju saw before, and it seems that the big cities around the world are the same. So, it's best to avoid the morning and evening rush hours and enter the city on weekdays, or simply come back on weekends.

Arrive at the circularquay after about 40 minutes. When it comes to walking in Sydney, it's actually centered around the circularquay, with a range of famous attractions around, such as Hyde Park, Royal Botanic Gardens, Harbour, The Rocks, the Sydney Opera House, and more. It is also a hub for access to other attractions by water.

After meeting up with friends, Yunluo and An Qingju chose to start from the Sydney Opera House today and follow the seaside through the Royal Botanic Gardens to the promontory opposite the Sydney Opera House to enjoy the view, which is a classic place to watch the opera house. Today's weather is hotter than yesterday, more than 30 degrees, the sun is falling and An Qingju is hiding in the shade of the trees.

Walked around for 40 minutes. Finally arrived at the destination. At this time, there are already a lot of tour groups stopping here, most of them are Chinese tourists, "queuing" here to take pictures. Yunluo was already too hot, so after taking two photos, I found a corner with few people, leaned back on the bench, and took the opportunity to rest for a while.

When they came back, Yunluo and An Qingju took a shortcut in the botanical garden under the guidance of navigation, which was quite useful. Walking and walking. A castle appeared in front of me, and when I got closer, it was actually the governmenthouse where it was located.

The door is open, and there are tourists inside, so let's go in and take a look. When I got closer, I found that I couldn't go in today, only from Friday to Sunday, so let's go outside. It's a nice place. Yunluo likes it!

Leave the Governmenthouse and walk through the greenery of the Botanical Gardens to the Circular Quay. I took a look at the situation of each route here and got a general idea of tomorrow's itinerary. Crossing Circular Quay leads to The Rocks, which is described on the Internet: "The Rocks is a must-visit for every tourist who comes to Sydney, and this is the first area of Sydney to be developed.

There are many old houses and streets that represent the pioneering history of Sydney. In 1787, Captain Arthurphillip from England finally arrived in Australia after a 250-day voyage, and Captain Philip named the first port of residence Sydneycove. and led the guards and prisoners who came with him.

Camping on this sandstone promontory has opened a new chapter in Australia's history, and The Rocks has become the best witness to Sydney's development. ”

There are famous DFS here, and students who like shopping can take a look. Because the weather is really hot, plus the meal. Yunluo and An Qingju didn't spend much time in the rocky area, and after seeing a good Italian restaurant, they decided to settle for lunch here.

The pizza here tastes good, about 20 dollars more than 12 inches, but it is relatively thin, and it is quite different from the Pizza Hut that Yunluo and An Qingju often eat, and it is enough for 1 or 2 people to eat.

After eating, Yunluo and An Qingju went shopping in DFS for a while, because their friends had something to do at night, Yunluo and LD got in the car and went home. After getting off the bus, it was still early, Yunluo and An Qingju walked to the nearby Century Park CentennialPark to rest. LD used to be here and said that this big park is good.

There are black swans, big carp or something, I want to see it today. Walking up to a small bridge from the side of the road, there were some wild duck-like water birds in the river, and when they saw someone on the bridge, they scrambled to swim over. Seeing this scene, Yunluo and An Qingju took out the small snacks left at noon and hurriedly expressed it, which attracted the water surface for a while, and even the eels in the water came to join in the fun.

This park is really a bit big, and there is a road passing through it, Yunluo and An Qingju decided not to look for the black swan, find a shade to hide for a while, and then go home for dinner.

Today, Yunluo and An Qingju will visit Tarongazoo, Sydney's long-cherished Taronga Zoo. Yunluo has a zoo plot, and when he was a child, he ran to the Beijing Zoo when he got the opportunity, and he also went to it from time to time when he grew up. Australia is rich in wildlife resources, many species are unique to the world, so Yunluo can't be missed!

After waking up in the morning to catch the bus and experiencing the congestion of Sydney's morning rush hour again, Yunluo and LD came to Circular Quay and took the ferry to the zoo. If you don't have a similar weekly transport ticket, you can buy a zoo + ferry package here, which will be cheaper than buying it separately.

A ferry can carry about 100-200 people at a time, about 20 minutes each way, and will pass by the Sydney Opera House, water prison and other landscapes on the way, allowing you to enjoy the scenery from another angle.

Once the boat arrives, you will still need to take a bus or cable car to enter the zoo. Since Taronga Zoo is built on the mountain, it is recommended to take the cable car to the highest point of the zoo and then go down, which will save energy.

The only caveat is that the cable car doesn't leave until 9:30, so the only way to go early is by bus. The ticket to the zoo is 43 dollars per person, which includes the cost of the above-mentioned transportation, but Yunluo feels that it is still more expensive.

Take the Skywalker cable car past the trees and cages below, and soon Yunluo and An Qingju reach the highest point of the zoo. Taronga Zoo is not huge, but it is in a great location with stunning views of Sydney Creek. Established in 1916, Taronga Zoo houses about 400 species of animals on 75 acres.

There are representative Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos, wombats, platypus, dingo dogs, Tasmanian devils, Australian birds, chimpanzees, penguins, otters, rhinos, seals, raccoons, lizards and reptiles.

After getting off the bus, go to the visitor center to get an introduction, and find that there will be performances or keeper explanations at different times, among which the sea lion and bird shows are the most worth looking forward to. Call a friend, make an appointment to meet at the theater where the sea lions perform, and walk all the way with LD.

When we arrived at the theater of the seal show, there were a lot of people, and everyone sat down in the shade. Even so, the scorching heat was unpleasant. The process of the seal show is not much to describe, but there is a scene where the seal jumps out of the water and somersault in a circle, which is very memorable for Yunluo. In the course of the performance, someone will introduce the common sense of animal protection, which is entertaining and educational!

After watching the sea lion show, the next highlight, the Asuka show, is about to appear. Special mention of the location of the show, which is the best place to enjoy the view of Sydney Bay, the audience watching the show facing the sea, dotted with sailboats, the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge.

At that time, ZF Sydney did not develop this place as a commercial property, but built it into a zoo that benefited more people, which is really admirable.

The actors of the bird show include domestic chickens, cranes, owls, red-tailed black sunflower parrots, pink cockatoos, falcons, Andean condors, etc., and the actors performed very hard, some of which caused tourists to laugh, and some of them flew over people's heads, causing bursts of exclamations.

One of them, an eagle that would crack open the eggs with a rock, was the hardest working one, and it took ten minutes to complete the task. By the end of the performance, all the birds "poured out of the nest", crossed and circled over people's heads, and beautiful music was played in the venue, and the atmosphere of the audience reached the most, which still makes Yunluo remember it vividly.

After watching the performance, a group of 4 people went to the Australian animal area for a tour, where Yunluo and An Qingju saw a lot of animals with Australian characteristics.

The Tasmanian devil, the Tasmanian devil, who has never met in Tasmania, is not big, but it is fierce and brutal when it fights. The Tasmanian devil is known for its distinctive howl and violent temper, and the earliest inhabitants of Tasmania were frightened by the terrible screams of the Tasmanian devil in the distance at night.

Hence the call they "the devils of Tasmania". In addition, an analysis of mammalian biting ability found that Tasmanian devils were the most powerful living mammals relative to their respective size.

Kangaroos, Australia is home to roughly 60 species of kangaroos and their close relatives. Yunluo and An Qingju often refer to the kangaroo refers to this kind of large kangaroo, which can jump up to 4 meters and up to 13 meters, which can be said to be the highest and farthest mammal.
