Section 1322 Drinking
The wind on the mountain was very strong this day, and at first Yunluo and An Chuyu were still wondering, why did so many people sit in the car in the parking lot and couldn't take a look? As a result, the clouds fell and the car immediately understood, the wind was so strong that if you didn't hold on to the railing, you would be blown away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Swinging to the lookout, you can't imagine how strong the wind is!
The glasses are going to be blown away, and you have to hold on all the time! Then the camera couldn't hold it steadily, so I had to use a high-speed shutter with a wide aperture! If there is no wind, it is quite recommended! The view is very open. Descending the mountain, the next destination is Mona, the Museum of Ancient and Modern Art. The architecture here is very designed.
You can actually take pictures in the museum, it's good, Yunluo likes it. This table tennis table is very creative. A certain Buddha was bound. Outside the museum, there are some artworks, all of which are very interesting. In addition, this museum is located on a peninsula, so you can see the scenery in the distance. After leaving the museum, it was already afternoon, and Yunluo and An Chumet and ran wildly towards Launceston.
There are no cars on Tasmania's roads, and the scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful. On the way, I passed through a small town, and from the map, Yunluo should be campbelltown, where Yunluo and An met for lunch, and after resting, they continued to move forward. When they arrived at the airport to return the car, Yunluo and An met for the first time and prepared to take a plane back to Melbourne.
The trip to Tasmania is over, some people say that this is Little New Zealand, but Yunluo thinks about it and really goes to New Zealand to experience it!
In the last two days of Australia, because the 20-day trip was already relatively tiring, Yunluo and An Chuyu mainly walked around the city of Melbourne and did not arrange more attractions. 【Itinerary begins】Pick up, return to Melbourne from Tasmania, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to a barbecue restaurant in Chinatown at night, and the taste was very good.
The name of the restaurant is "Old Delicious Northeast Barbecue". The boss is an authentic Northeast gentleman. After eating edamame and lamb skewers, Yunluo and An felt very happy when they first met! For more information about this store, Yunluo will introduce it in detail in the [Practical Guide: Food and Food] later.
As mentioned earlier, Yunluo and An first met in Melbourne and had friends to entertain, so they still stayed at a friend's house at night and did not book a hotel. The next day at noon. Yunluo and Ann met for the first time and came to the Yarra River for a barbecue north of Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens. There are a lot of electric grills along the river, which were built with the help of the Melbourne government for the convenience of citizens.
The leg of lamb I bought at the supermarket yesterday, with butter, was delicious. Australia's mutton is so good, and it is really not at the same level as China's. When you are full, you can start feeding the seagulls again! After lunch, take a walk around the neighborhood, and to the west of the Royal Botanic Gardens is the Melbourne War Memorial. On the street in front of the memorial. From time to time, horse-drawn carriages pass by, and it is said that it is very expensive to ride in this car!
In the afternoon, Yunluo and An met for the first time in the heart of Melbourne. To the east of the city centre is Stpatrickscathedral, the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne. Gothic Revival style. The church is a traditional east-west axis, with the altar at the east end and the Latin cross plane.
St Bartley's Cathedral is the tallest church in Australia, followed by St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne. Back on the river, Melbourne's tallest building is called EurekaTower. It is a skyscraper with a height of 297.3 meters, calculated as the highest floor. The building is the tallest residential building in Australia.
However, when the spiral spire (also known as the skypole) is included in the overall height, the Q1 building on the Gold Coast, Queensland, is the tallest residential tower in Australia. The name of the discovery building is derived from the Eurekastockade, a rebellion that took place during the Victorian Goldrush in 1854.
The building's design also incorporates the event, with a gold crown symbolizing the gold rush and a red stripe symbolizing the bloodshed of the rebellion. The building's blue-glass façade represents the blue background of the Eureka Fence Event flag. The white line represents the Eureka Fence event flag. Next to the Discovery Building, is Melbourne's casino crown.
It has the largest casino complex in Australia, spending $1.7 billion to create this "city of leisure" that integrates high-end shopping malls, food courts, entertainment venues, luxury hotels, world-class health spas and other entertainment facilities. In front of the casino, there are 8 10-meter-high "water and fire pillars", which are lit on the hour every night. Fireballs will erupt from the mouth of the pillar.
The tongue of fire can reach a height of 10 meters, which is currently the largest artificial fireball in the world. One theory is that when the casino was built, a feng shui master was asked to see it, and the master said that it lacked fire in the five elements, so the owner of the casino took the advice of the feng shui master to set up these pillars. The fireballs that erupt not only round the feng shui, but also create the pomp and circumstance of the Arabian Palace, which has become a famous landscape.
It was raining lightly, and the ground in front of the casino reflected the reflection of the lights on the trees, glittering with gold. On the last day in Melbourne, Yunluo and An's first encounter was mainly to visit the mall and buy gifts back home, Australian specialties such as lanolin, honey, etc., as well as ugg.
You need to provide the original Chinese driver's license, and the English translation of the driver's license certified by NAATI (Australian Translation Qualification Accreditation Agency), of which the NAATI translation can be handled in Australia or in China, and a lot can be searched on Taobao, and the price is about 25 Australian dollars (about 130 yuan) a copy.
Some guides say that it is okay without translation, but Yunluo has not tried, and Yunluo Car Rental has provided these two documents. If there are multiple drivers working in shifts, it is best for everyone to provide their driver's license and translation, because if there is a traffic accident or an on-site violation, the police must come to see the driver's license.
There are six main car rental companies in Australia: Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty, and Redspot. These companies generally have stores in the arrivals hall of the airport and in the downtown area. Recommend a car rental website that automatically compares the prices of 6 car rental companies

【Seat belts】Every member of the car must wear a seat belt, including passengers in the back seat, and if they are caught by the police if they do not wear a seat belt, they will be fined. 【Speed Limit】Pay attention to the speed limit signs on the side of the road when driving, the maximum speed limit in Australia is 110km/h. However, from Yunluo's experience of driving in Australia in the past few days, two characteristics were found.
One is that most cars are speeding a little bit. For example, the speed limit of 70 is generally driven to 80, and the speed limit of 110 is generally opened to 120, but there will be no more. Second, the speed limit in Australia is generally relatively high, and in the same road conditions, such as two-way two-lane winding mountain roads, the domestic speed limit may be 40, while Australia will be 70.
【Refueling】Gas stations in Australia are all self-service, so pay attention to different fuels when refueling. Gas is natural gas, Diesel is diesel, Unled is unleaded gasoline, there are many kinds of labels, and Japanese cars plus 91 will do. For other cars, it's best to ask the staff when you pick them up.
When refueling, you directly pick up the gun and pinch the refueling, you need to pinch it all the time, unlike the domestic card head. When the gas is filled, it will automatically jump the gun. Then go to the cashier at the gas station and say the gun number to pay. 【Parking】Parking must be done by looking at the road signs, many parking lots in Australia are charged for a time limit. Some are parked for a few hours at most.
On the left, there will be a maximum of two hours from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, and any other time. Stopping here is free. On the right, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., a maximum of two hours of parking, and a fee, other times as you like. And it's free.
Look at this sign, which is the street sign next to the Salamanca market, which means a maximum of 2 hours between 8:30 am and 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Parking is not allowed from 5:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and parking is free at other times.
[Traffic rules and precautions] 1, first of all, Australia is driven on the left, and the driver sits on the right, which is the opposite of mainland China, so if you drive in Australia, you must be careful, you can see how to drive other cars and then follow other cars at the beginning. The position of the turn signal and wiper in German cars is the same as in China, that is, the left-hand turn signal.
Japanese cars, on the other hand, use the right hand to hit the turn signal, so be careful. Due to the problems caused by the left-right transition, you may still encounter it when driving, so remember to be cautious and pay attention to the distance between the vehicles, for example, if you stay in the middle of the lane, the driver needs to be slightly to the right of the center lane, which will take a while to get used to.
2. The traffic light is basically the same as that of mainland China, but there will be some differences when turning left. At intersections where there is no separate left turn lane, if you encounter a red light, you cannot turn left, which is different from the domestic one, so please be careful! (It seems that only Huaguo can turn right at a red light) Please look at this diagram, which depicts a separate left turn lane, in this case.
You can turn left at a red light, but give way to the car on the right. 3. Give way and stop encountering the giveway street sign indicates that you need to give way. Here, let the vehicles go straight ahead. When you encounter a stop sign, you must stop and observe that there are no cars before moving on. 4. When entering the roundabout, you should hit the turn signal in the direction of the final exit.
For example, turn left at the roundabout and turn the left light, turn right and turn the right light, and go straight without turning signal; Out of the roundabout to play the left light. In addition, before entering the roundabout, you need to see if there is a car in the roundabout to drive in front of you, if there is a car, you need to stop and wait for the car to drive in the roundabout before you can enter the roundabout. Here are some legends for your reference. Turn left at the roundabout, enter and exit the roundabout and turn on the left light.
Turn right at the roundabout, turn right on the right when you enter the roundabout, and turn on the left light when you exit the roundabout. Go straight around the roundabout, enter the roundabout without lights, and leave the roundabout with a left light. Make a U-turn around the roundabout, turn on the right light when entering the roundabout, and turn on the left light when exiting the roundabout. Be sure to give way to the cars in the roundabout! 5. When encountering a pedestrian crossing without a traffic light, if there are pedestrians waiting on the side of the road, take the initiative to stop and let the pedestrian go first.
Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in this hotel, except for the first one, which was booked by Yunluo and An Chuyu's friends in Australia, all the others were booked by Yunluo and An Chuyu on Agoda. 【Great Ocean Road】Bonsaibeachhouse recommended degree 4 Yunluo and Ann first met in the south of Melbourne, from the Great Ocean Road back to set the bonsaibeachhouse, which is a very large house.

I flew away early the next morning, so I found a cheaper one. The brand of ibis is still good, but it should be noted that ibis is divided into red ibishotel, green ibisstyleshotel and blue ibisbudgethotel, of which the red ibishotel is still good. And this blue ibisbudget is really too bad.
The room is very small, and there is nothing to do, and the conditions are not as good as the domestic Confucian, Hanting and other express hotels. There is no elevator, and the luggage has to be carried upstairs by yourself. In addition, the hotel has a shuttle bus to the airport, but there is a fee. 【Whitsunday】SeastarApartments recommended degree 4.5 Address: 2Naraave.

Australia7004 is a motel in a good location, just south of Hobart's famous Salamanca Souq, less than a 10-minute walk away. The condition of the room is average, but very good value for money. This motel also does not have a lift, so you need to carry your own luggage. I forgot to take pictures in the house, but the conditions are OK, and the domestic express hotel is almost the same.
In addition, the front desk of this store is Chinese, and you can speak Chinese! This is the first meal Yunluo and An Chu ate after they met Australia, and the taste is basically the same as McDonald's in Huaguo, nothing special.
