Day 1

2014-12-24

This is a journey with a smile on the left and a sadness on the right. The beauty of Australia's opening and closing is shaking our minds. The sudden changes on the journey are also testing our nerves. Right hand and sister Jing's third stop in the honeyyear of their wedding was full of surprises and some fright. The 26 day trip turned into 16 days. What they shared was not only the beautiful scenery, but also the experience and methods of crisis management.

From chasing my daughter-in-law in school to marrying her, we have been in love for nearly four years. When I got married, my daughter-in-law didn't ask for anything, no house, no car, and even the rings were free metal rings from a certain brand. I didn't respond to the security check. In this way, a fairly beautiful engineering Capricorn woman married a fat, short and poor former tabloid reporter.

We always believe that in the era when the Internet has been occupied by young people, we are willing to spend more money on the road. I probably can't give my daughter-in-law anything, so I hope to have a honey year. This honey year is not a year of doing nothing, depending on my parents or spending all of my savings, but a station by station, because we still have families, and our own careers and responsibilities. We are just ordinary people's families. However, discontinuity does not delay honey. Honey is a kind of state of mind, a kind of mutual affection. When you join hands with your son, you are also traveling to buy vegetables. At the end of 2014, we set foot on the third big stop of the year of honey, kangaroo country Australia, and brought with us our good friends and parents who have been here for more than ten years.

We bought these cubs specially for the honey year. They have the matchmaker we know, know and fall in love with. It's the inconspicuous red rope that connects us. From then on, we have all the stories. The day with you is the year; Where you are, it's home. Mei Zhi said that she envied the bears because they went to many places with us. The two little things kept hiding in their backpacks, and then occasionally leaned out to enjoy the scenery on the road with us.

Day 2

2014-12-25

As a guy who always makes detailed plans but never follows them. The right hand hates the strategic strategy. The greatest beauty of the journey lies in the unknown, in the exploration, in the encounter and chance encounter, and in the surprise of suddenly looking back at the man in the dim light. So, if you expect the travel notes to be the same as LP, you can stop there. If you are looking forward to some of our feelings, twists and turns, difficulties and so on, then please continue to look back. There won't be any good restaurants in the back, but they will tell you that there's something wrong with the phone card, you can't call how to fight with the Australian A-San customer service, they won't tell you how to get from one scenic spot to another, but they will tell you how to deal with a traffic accident in Australia, and they won't save money and free tickets, But there will be the importance of how to go to the hospital to see the doctor and boarding permit. There won't be a large number of beautiful women's art photos, but there will be picturesque scenery with the most basic photography equipment, and the later, the more wonderful.

About phone cards and Internet access: Australia's $2-a-day Optus is well known in all kinds of travel notes, so the most popular counter in Melbourne Airport is crowded there. In fact, a little bit next to Optus, there is a counter, where you can rent WiFi equipment and buy Telstra network boost operation phone card. Telstra is the largest telecom company in Australia with the best signal. Boost is a sub brand and an operator of the group, boost   30 days of $40 prepaid card, unlimited domestic and Australian phone calls and SMS, 2.5G traffic (now engaged in activities, normal 2G) you can play with life, although 3G, but the speed is quite good. In fact, if it's not at the airport, boost has a shorter prepaid card, and the price is more cost-effective. You can go to any post office, supermarket, convenience store in Australia to buy $2 boost   SIM card, and then recharge, choose a shorter package, such as 10 days, 15 days and so on. Because our itinerary was originally 26 days, we took this phone card directly. She is a Chinese girl studying in Australia. After graduation, she works here. Her boss is also Chinese. She speaks highly of business reputation and is friendly. Later, I will tell you a story about quarreling with ah San, which will provide you with practical experience when you encounter telephone network failure. Please pay attention.

I'm spoiled by this phone card. The traffic is always on. It's troublesome to call when I pick up the phone. This month's domestic mobile phone bill will be more ugly... Australia's phone card is similar to ours, with prepayment and post payment. Prepaid generally does not appear phone account is locked, can't call or access the Internet, because the money is paid, how can you still with you. Different from China, there are three network providers in Australia: Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, but they may operate a lot. They rent the network of network providers and provide services to customers. Generally speaking, cheap packages are provided by small companies. There are local group buying websites in Australia and so on. But if the money is not bad, or the time is not long, it doesn't matter.

There's a lot of marshmallows in the sky, right? Ha ha. Although the location by the window is not safe enough, the location by the window is a paradise for photographers. If you are crazy enough, you should rely on the location of the window every time. Good camera, always ready. Good photographers are people who are always aware of sudden changes and are always ready.

About photographic equipment: Nikon D90   dog's head  +  iphone   5C, it's all beggars' equipment, but I think many of the photos in the back will be worthy of your eyes. Most of the photos are from Nikon, who is good at scenery. They have no advanced equipment, so they can only make do with it. The photos have not been processed. It's just that they have to make photo albums and postcards in the later stage. All the photos are raw, so they are slightly toned in the later stage.

When we landed at Melbourne Airport, we transferred to Adelaide. This kind of itinerary was all due to the tension of rooms and car rentals for Christmas and new year, which forced us to postpone the journey of Dayang road. Unfortunately, due to major changes, our third stop of honeyyear was not completed as planned. It's not as good as the weather. It's also a part of the journey.

About hotels: in general, hotels in Australia are quite large, especially motels, with big beds. If a few girls travel, it's very economical to squeeze them. Generally, there are spare bedding in the room, so it's very good to lay the floor. My hotel is basically through booking, although the number of people written on the website is the most, but all the way down check   When I was in, there were really no one to count a few people. I just need to report who ordered it. I don't even look at my passport. Please don't go too far. Everything is easy to discuss. Many hotels have cancellation fees, but once they have to cancel, they can actually discuss with the hotel. Call the hotel to explain the reasons for the cancellation. Many hotels are still very reasonable, but it's better not to have this kind of situation. People also do business and it's not easy. There are towel and bath towel in the hotel, but toothbrush and slippers are not provided. So I think I'll take them with me. I don't know if it's provided in a very high-end hotel. My friend is an ordinary person. I feel very luxurious at seven hundred and one nights. A hotel with a kitchen will be much more convenient than a hotel without a kitchen. It can also save you money. It is definitely a lot of savings. A McDonald's set meal costs $13. It's absolutely bloody. When you buy steak and chicken in the supermarket, it's basically the same as in China, or even lower. If you like chicken skeletons and necks as much as I do, that's great. They're incredibly cheap. Don't try kangaroo sausage. It's not so bad.

The picture in front is the old Adelaide Hotel in Adelaide. The front desk is a humorous fat old man with endless jokes. The hotel is really old, but it's very clean and has all kinds of utensils. O'clock where the hotel is located   connell   The street is directly connected to the center of Adelaide square city. The traffic is very convenient. There is also a free bus around the city not far from the gate. There is a telephone booth in front of the hotel. A yellow page is put on the desk for people to use, and no one takes it away. It's really enviable.

On holiday travel: Adelaide is on Christmas day, which coincides with the new year's holiday. In the words of a young Chinese sister, ghosts must close their doors for rest on New Year's day, so hardworking Chinese are still open for business. So when you go out to meet festivals and have no place to buy things, go straight to Chinatown. In addition, the gas station is a good choice, no matter what, you always have to refuel. It's open 24 hours a day, and you can eat and drink, so don't worry. Taxis in big cities are mostly three brothers. Melbourne and Adelaide are all like this. More than half of telecom customer service calls have three brothers' accents, so it's very helpful to be familiar with their accents. Taxis can be reserved by telephone, and can be paid by credit card. Some need to pay the card fee of two or three stores. When paying, ask the driver. There are many taxis in Australia, but there are 12 people in large taxis. There may be seats facing away. If someone is carsick, it will be miserable. That's what happened to my good friend. He got out of the car and threw up on the ground. It was very tragic.

Let's briefly talk about the urban structure of Adelaide: if you look at the map, the city center of Adelaide is a square structure, about 2 * 2 in size. The roads in the city are horizontal and vertical. There are railway stations, city halls, museums and art centers in the north of the city. There is a river out of the city. The two banks of the river are very beautiful. The river is North Adelaide in the past. In fact, in our opinion, This is a very small area. From the door of our hotel, we walked straight into the city. Many of the photos were taken from this road. The picturesque scenery of Australia also gave me my first impression from here, which can't be erased.

In the summer of Australia, it's dark at 9:30 and the sun rises at 6:00. The long sunshine brings a lot of convenience to travel and makes us forget the time of three meals a day. It's actually a challenge. It's very important for you to travel and eat. Your body is 1 and everything else is 0. It's strongly recommended that you take this seriously. Don't eat like me.

Now 14 years have passed. He got married in the same year and had a honeymoon together. He drove and I navigated. It's a pity that the later changes added too much trouble to his brother's honeymoon. In my heart, my right hand is very, very guilty.

In fact, the weather in Australia has a lot in common with that in northern China. The temperature difference between the morning and the evening and the temperature difference in a day may be very dramatic. The difference between the morning and the evening is very normal. Although it is summer, the temperature difference between the morning and the evening is still very normal, and it may rush to 30 degrees at noon. One day when local people are all short clothes and shorts, we just went to wear long sleeves, but later we got used to it. Sooner or later, we all wear the same short clothes and shorts.

Day 3

2014-12-26

The central market closes during the new year and Christmas.

Haoda chicken chops landed in Adelaide, very popular

boxing   Chinatown on day   day:boxing   The status of day in Australia is cool 11. In China, there are crazy discounts. On the 25th, there will be no one on the street. On the 26th, there will be a lot of people. Then on the 27th, they will disappear. On this day, all the shops are on sale. Some of them are queuing up for a long line. In Australia, where there is no one, I am really scared to see the scene of Nanjing Road in Shanghai. If you want to sweep the goods, it's a good time to arrange at the end of the trip and leave after shopping.

It's a wonderful church from all angles, but it's a pity that it didn't open. It is located near the river at the junction of North Adelaide and the city center.

About driving: on the left side, you really need to adapt. Find an old driver, read the traffic regulations in advance, read the signs and lines clearly, don't worry, it's still very easy to adapt. Bold and careful, the key is to abide by the traffic rules, everyone abide by the rules, there will be no problem, so it is very necessary to fully understand the traffic rules, work in advance, more important than the strategy. After changing the left and right sides, the biggest difference is the perspective. It takes some time to adapt, and alignment on the road will become an obstacle. It will take a day or two, at least. If the co driver has a person driving in China, it is best to see if the car deviates from his perspective. The handling of car rental and traffic accidents will be explained in the middle and last part.

Birds are everywhere. Parrots fly all over the street. It's normal in Adelaide.

Adelaide's bus, in front of the car, car coin or brush bus card, a driver. Ring the bell before you get off the bus, or you will really drive by. When waiting for the bus, you should watch it carefully. If the bus comes, you should wave, or it will not stop. Google maps is a good tool to check the bus routes in Australia. In addition to telling you which bus to use, it also tells you how much time the bus can arrive. The information is quite accurate. It really killed Baidu and Gaode. About the one-day bus ticket, I will say later.

Adelaide's ticket vending machine sells tickets of various denominations. It is recommended to consider one-day tickets, which is more cost-effective. If you buy it, you can sit at will. There are ticket vending machines and ticket centers at railway stations. Tram, bus and train take all. The staff of the ticket center are very friendly and can ask. There are also test station locations and schedules to choose from.

98a in the picture   98C   99A   99c is Adelaide's four free bus lines, free of charge, free to sit, basically covering all the attractions, you can see North Adelaide is a very important part, there is no downtown noise, but has the beauty and tranquility of Australia. Botanical garden, zoo and golf course are all here.

Victoria Square, the center of Adelaide center, with market and Chinatown nearby, is a good place for shopping. About daily shopping: in fact, daily necessities can be solved in Coles, Woolworth and other places. They are available everywhere. They can be found on Google and there is a telephone. Because the daily business hours of Australian shops may be different, we should pay special attention to the arrangement of time, especially in the event of holidays, they will close early, which is just the opposite to us. We met the embarrassment of thinking that people would normally close their doors, but they closed their business at two o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, they had nothing to eat and had to go to the gas station. If you have a chance to catch up with the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, give up the supermarket. The prices in that market are similar to or even cheaper than those in Shanghai food market. Go crazy, young man.

About gas filling: Australia's gas stations are all self-service gas stations. When the car is parked, they take a gun to fill it. Most of the car renters are unleaded, and the key has the information they need. After filling up the gas, go to the convenience store in the back and tell the third brother what number of stations to add it, print the receipt, collect the money and leave. Cash and credit card are OK. Some places with a lot of people, such as the Cradle Mountain scenic spot in Tasmania, need to get the number first, then refuel, and then settle the accounts. It's different. It's estimated that there are too many people and they can't see it. They are afraid of losing oil. If there are too many people, there will always be all kinds of problems, just like all over the world.

This is the oil price. The price of unleaded gasoline is $1.135 per liter. Naturally, the price of each gas station is slightly different. According to the time, the regional oil price is also different.

Sketch of Adelaide: after looking at the photos taken by Adelaide four or five times from beginning to end, this one is the best one to summarize my impression of Adelaide. The city is quiet, friendly and sunny. The brilliant light without reservation pours on the two hundred year old buildings, telling the Australian people's little bit by bit of building this land. Every brick and tile in the old building may carry the colonial blood of that year, but also the tenacity and courage of being exiled. Maybe it's because I'm also from the land of refugees. I have great respect and curiosity for Australians' blood characteristics of building a country, building rules and respecting tolerance. Maybe one day, my hometown can do the same.

There are many such old buildings in Australia, most of which were built in the first half of the 19th century. If you go too much, you have to sigh about the strength of the British people. Great Britain's footprints spread all over the world and spread its seeds all over the world. Although Britain is small, its wide distribution and sphere of influence are unmatched by the unified mainland China. 5000 years of continuous history of civilization is enough to make us proud. From the perspective of the world, it is quite reasonable that the West does not understand China. As a link of culture, we are not closely linked with the world, so it is difficult for us to understand and tolerate each other.

Australians' leisurely life is enviable. In Queen Victoria Square, people who bask in the sun enjoy a good time happily. My brother from Australia told me that when the festival comes, Adelaide people will go to big cities or go on holiday. There are not many people in the city. In fact, in the eyes of the Chinese, it is estimated that Australians are on holiday every day.

Day 4

2014-12-27

Glennerge beach is a surprise for Adelaide. The hotel's humorous fat uncle strongly recommends it. At the station information center, the ticket buying aunt recommends it again. Take a one-day ticket, all the way to the end, is this beautiful beach. To tell you the truth, if you just fight for the beach, it's definitely not a great place, but the end of the tram suddenly brightens up, the triathlon in the sun, and the tram experience throughout the whole journey. The half day here is an amazing blue for the quiet Adelaide.

Only two things have been done in recent years   One is chasing you, the other is shooting you. When right hand fell in love with sister Jing for 1000 days, right hand made a photo album for her, recording the days together with the photos she had taken, and also dedicated it to the goddess in right hand's heart. Now she has married a beautiful woman, but her right hand still has the mentality of chasing her. Chasing her and photographing her are the two most enjoyable things in life, followed by our iconic crooked photos and running. Looking back, I made up the first and second wedding photos of honeyyear. Maybe it looks more fun.

It's too windy to use the reflector. If it's black, it's black. Anyway, the sun is the same as that. ha-ha

Fully explain the position in the relationship between the two

Brother, it's worse than seeing who. Brother's daughter-in-law's hand is quite good.

Travel income: the right hand is a journalist, so I enjoy chatting with strangers on the journey. Taxi drivers have always been the favorite chatting objects of the right hand. On the one hand, they pass the time; on the other hand, they are well-informed and a very good source of information. In a taxi in Adelaide, the third brother told me that the $400 money they paid was very easy to earn. He bought a car and drove it at night. He hired two extra people to drive during the day. They were both part-time workers. They could earn more money at night, but they needed less money during the day. It was also good to work part-time. His car has been running almost all the time and his life is quite secure. The drivers I met in Melbourne and Adelaide are all from India, which makes me very strange. Fortunately, I met my 75 year old grandfather from Holland in Tasmania. Go to the back and tell you his story.

Adelaide botanical garden gate, the door is not big, but the content is more amazing, I recommend you to have a look.

The first stop of the honeymoon trip was the local wedding in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The third stop was the wedding in Australia. Fortunately, the former was more similar to that in China, while the latter was more similar to that in American movies.

Sister Jing, give me a smile.

This wonderful tree really likes me. I don't know how it thought about life in those years and made its roots grow so rigid and soft. One by one, the trees are standing there, watching each other, surrounding the botanical garden and guarding the land. When I saw that scene, I thought I was in the kingdom of elves in the Lord of the rings, and the big trees would move. I can't say when I would lift us to heaven.

On the journey, it's the happiest to take a selfie with you, although the fat man is really ugly.

Original schedule: 24   Shanghai Guangzhou Melbourne 25   Melbourne Adelaide 25-28   Adelaide 28-1   Melbourne 1-4   Hobart 4   Hobart Oatlands Ross lanceton 4-7   Lonceston 7-10   Dayang road coastal to inland 11-13   Canberra 14-17   Sydney 17-18   Sydney Guangzhou Shanghai it's a pity that because of the family's affairs, after going from lonceston to Melbourne on the 7th, you directly went back to China on the 8th. You can't finish the later journey. Your life plan can't keep up with the changes. Many times, you can only regard regret and giving up as a kind of beauty. Family is always more important than the scenery on the road.

The University of Adelaide is very beautiful. It's worth seeing. It's beside the botanical garden and the museum.

It's said that the bigger the number, the farther it goes

Immigration Museum   I didn't go in

Day 5

2014-12-28

To a place to visit the University, is my essential site. Washington University, Columbia University, Wharton, Yale, MIT, Harvard, Chiang Mai University, Adelaide University, Melbourne University, and the original University of Sydney. A country's education reflects the future of a nation. A country's higher education is the embodiment of the country's future, tolerance and innovation. The colonial country's emphasis on education and excellent educational conditions make us marvel. The existence of those old buildings tells the world that this is a country investing in the future. Today's photos are from the University of Melbourne. Let's have a good understanding of the so-called prisoners' importance to the future.

Wearing MIT   150 year commemorative shirt in honor of the University of Melbourne.

I hope I can smell the fragrance of books with you every year, walk through the corridor hand in hand, by Siyuan lake, by Charles River, every bit is worth cherishing and remembering.

Looking for highlights

Close to Mo Da's sports ground, there is such a beautiful scenery. Can it be as gorgeous as postcard as you can see in your dream.

Where there are people, there are Chinese. Where there are meals, there are northeast dishes.

Day 6

2014-12-29

In this bird garden, there are parrots who can knock melon seeds, as well as guys who like to climb on people's bodies and heads. The staff of the park will show it to you and encourage tourists to have close contact with animals. Many parents bring their very small children here to encourage them to have contact with animals, unlike Chinese parents who are afraid that their children will be pecked by birds. There is a huge difference in the attitude and education of children between the East and the west, especially this time. I hope there will be more details later to give a shot in the arm to my friends who are still struggling with whether they can go on the road with their children.

On the 29th, drive 70 kilometers into the heathwell reserve. If it's just animals, it's not amazing enough. But the beautiful experience brought by crossing the Yarra Valley along the road is too comfortable. In addition, from today on, there are problems with the phone card. I can't answer the phone and surf the Internet. I'll find a suitable picture on the back to illustrate this kind of turbulence and the experience of quarreling with the three brothers of the telecom company.

What do you want, little eyes? Ha ha. The birds in the reserve are flying everywhere, in large cages, even without cages.

Hooligan, what are you doing

This is a kangaroo who regards himself as a great sage

Your lens is the world, my lens is you.

This is a big tree that needs a few people to encircle. I'd like to use a spot to explain its hundred years of vicissitudes

About car rental: Men's love for cars is not because of men's innate love for machinery, but the desire for freedom and adventure in their blood. It's just like a good horse with a good general. Riding gives men the confidence to rule the world. Car rental provides great convenience and freedom for travel, not to mention the luggage that is easy to carry when transferring positions. It's just the discovery of the beautiful scenery in every corner, the continuous rain and wind, and a lot of time saving.   Follow the group   It's never my choice. The world has to be mined by myself. Car rental channels: there are many foreign car rental collection websites, such as rentalcar, but domestic websites are very mature, such as Ctrip, car rental and huicar rental. These websites can also integrate foreign information, and the interface is in Chinese, customer service is in Chinese, the company is in China, there is no need to find foreign websites.   I finally chose to rent a car, because several websites are the most convenient to use, and they are engaged in activities. There are too many discounts. Pay more attention to this. I got a barrel of oil for free, a day of car rental for free, WiFi for free, GPS for free. There's no reason not to use it, right?! Car rental process: go to the Chinese website to choose the time and place to pick up the car, choose the car you like, and place an order. Just like the domestic car rental operation, if you want to cancel the order, you can cancel it directly. But you can't change the time, so it's OK to rent a new one and then cancel the old one. Then print the order and save an electronic copy. Two copies of car rental tips should be printed. One copy of the actual Australian experience is enough. It's good to keep one more for a rainy day. Pick up: it's very simple. It's even simpler than renting a car in China. Take the printed order and add a visa card with the driver's name   The translation of English driver's license or fair translation, we are budget in the whole process, so the translation is enough, Taobao can get 50 yuan. When people look at a few things, check the information, ask if you need to increase the insurance, increase the driver, they don't need to continue, give you a detailed list to sign, give you a piece of paper to check the scratch of the car, a piece of instructions (I haven't looked at it carefully), then you can go to the parking lot to find the car, just start and drive away. Yes, you're right. If it's not a big city, you may be allowed to go to the parking lot and find your own car. There is the number of the car on the key. Just match it. Take the car and check it for scratches. If there's no problem, go straight. If there's a problem, go to them. In fact, according to our experience in car return, it's very easy for budget to check and return a car. Even when we return a car in Melbourne, they just look at the fuel gauge. If the car you want just doesn't exist when you pick it up, you will replace it with another car of the same series or upgrade it directly. I've been upgraded to the Mitsubishi SUV in both stations. It's very exciting. About returning the car: when returning the car, give the list you got in front of you. In addition to the detailed quotation to the car rental company, the car is very good. Turn the key and the company will check it. If there is no problem, just leave. It's very convenient. Generally, the car return time can be extended by half an hour. Most of them are full of gas. It's very convenient in Australia.

About car rental insurance: there is no all risks insurance for car rental in Australia, but insurance can be added. The minimum amount of compensation is very low, which can greatly reduce the risk. It's very cheap to buy a car in Australia, but it's very expensive to repair a car, so it's strongly recommended to increase insurance. There are also companies in China that increase the so-called all risks insurance, but I think it's better to buy local insurance, because if you go back to China to pay for the insurance, there will be a lot of troubles, and you may not be able to figure out all kinds of certificates. We bought travel insurance, but when we went back to China to apply for compensation, we knew that it was very troublesome. In fact, all kinds of materials required are very difficult to get abroad, and you don't know what materials you need, so compensation is basically impossible. It's very convenient to buy directly at the counter of the car rental company. As for the choice of car rental platform, this is purely a personal preference. Each company has its own advantages. For example, Ctrip is a big brand, and you can add local insurance to rent a car. At that time, I chose to rent a car. First, it's very cheap and convenient to book a car. In addition, the customer service of rent a car makes me feel at ease. When I place an order, customer service will call you, Then I took the trouble to remind you of all the precautions and materials you need when you pick up the car. I was very careful. I asked you about the discount many times and I was very patient. And the response of WeChat official account is very fast, and it is pretty cute. So it's more reassuring. The disadvantage is that cancelled orders can't be automatically arranged at the back of the system. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and always like to delete or put the ones I don't want at the back.   Website of car rental   Huizuche.com this is my first time to rent a car overseas. I was quite nervous before I left. However, with the progress of the journey, the free feeling brought by self driving and the convenience of the journey are too attractive. Travel time is precious, and there are too many unknowns. It's very important to have a car in such a sparsely populated place.

There are many wineries along the Yala River Valley. If you find one, you will find lots of vineyards.

The scale of this picture   It's a bit of beauty and beast. It's too heavy.

On the way back, it's raining, racing with time, racing with clouds. In the distance, it's a green bridge and a green corridor.

While waiting for the traffic lights, these people ran to the zebra crossing to perform handstand juggling, and then asked the people in the car for tips. You can understand it as a beggar or a busker. It all depends on your mentality. What's different is that they go up together, a few people jump together, flash away when the green light is on, and knock on the window to beg for food   It's a lot more reliable.

Melbourne's St Kilda beach is a good place for water sports, but it made us catch up with the fierce wind. People almost didn't get blown away, cars also floated up, and the gentle beach became a fierce desert. We can only take a look and leave quickly.

Day 7

2014-12-30

The biggest harvest on the 30th is Melbourne's famous Queen Victoria Market. first   It's really big,   second   It's really cheap. Vegetables are basically 5-8 yuan per kilo, beef can be sold to 20 yuan, food neatly placed together, the scene is very lively. If you live near a hotel with a kitchen, the cost of food and drink in Melbourne will be greatly reduced, and the price of food and drink will be very low. Just pay attention to the opening and closing time, so as not to be unable to buy things. It is said that fresh things will be greatly discounted half an hour before the end of the market, but I didn't catch up. You can have a try.

On the phone accident: there are always wonderful things, such as you bought a prepaid phone card, which was used for a few days and was locked by the telecom service, not allowed to be called and connected to the Internet. It took a long time to wrangle between the problem of the phone card found on the night of 29 and the solution of the problem on January 6. Here is a summary of the following precautions, hoping to be useful to you. 1. Because the phone card may have been used by others, if the person in front of you has a bad record, then your card is likely to be locked after being found by the system. In fact, this is due to the system, but if it happens, there is really no way to find a place to buy the card as soon as possible, or contact the service provider directly, the latter is better. If you can find a store, it's best to go directly to the store, because they can change your card directly. 2. Customers are always the first to answer the phone at the lowest level, and they can only deal with simple problems, so don't get entangled. They think it's not right. They directly ask to go up a level to solve the problem. 3. We bought two cards at the same time. One of them directly bought a new SIM card, then called customer service and asked to transfer the balance to a new number in the past. The problem was solved instantly, while the other was extremely sad. So the former is more practical on the road. In the phone, the payment that has been paid is called credit. 4. The normal solution is to go to the store with your passport and driver's license for authentication, and then go to the back office of the telecom department for examination and solution, but it takes quite a long time. If you have a driver's license, it's very useful. Even if it's less than a year old, it can be used as a certificate. Credit cards can also be used as certification materials, but Australian law stipulates that the whole face of a credit card is not allowed to be copied completely, so if someone takes a picture directly or prints all of it, you can strictly prohibit it. 5. To make a call to telecom customer service, remember the mobile phone number, personal name and birthday, which is an essential part of checking personal information. 6. Each report will generate a reference   Number and email you this number and the job number of the customer service personnel. This number is very useful. The next time you call, directly ask the customer service to inquire, saving time and effort. All the previous processing information is in. 7. If the customer service says to call back to you, it is necessary to make an appointment for the time of the call back, otherwise, if it is not good, there will be no news at any time. 8. Third brother's accent is well known, so if you can't hear it clearly, let him say it again. Anyway, he is tired. Don't promise anything ambiguously. In the end, you will suffer a loss. 9. My card was sold to my boss in the end. They gave me a new card to use first. They went to follow up and solve the card problem. Thank you very much for Jamie's business spirit and service attitude. Although encountered unpleasant things, but fortunately met a reliable boss, very happy.

The Queen's market also has such a scene, which is in fact the same kind of place as the domestic farmers' market.

In the Queen's market after the close, the most industrious are almost always the Chinese.

On New Year's Eve, public transportation is free from 6 p.m. pay attention to the electronic screen in Flinders railway station, with Chinese prompts. In many parts of Australia, there are signs in Chinese, as well as at Melbourne Airport. When you get off the plane, you have no sense of foreign land. It all depends on these Chinese hints to bring you a sense of belonging. In addition, on New Year's Eve, there are performances in Union Square, and other places, such as some parks, green spaces and so on. For safety reasons, we didn't go out on New Year's Eve, but we didn't miss the fireworks. If you happen to be in Australia next new year, you can pay attention to the New Year celebrations.

When people don't have sparrows, the first reflection of Chinese people is that they must be delicious.

Across federal square, behind it is a river, divided by Melbourne. This section by the river is called Princess   Walk, beautiful scenery, quiet in the noise. In the new year, there are people watching fireworks and celebrating on both sides of the river.

St. Paul's Cathedral on the opposite corner of Flanders railway station.

Southern Cross railway station is an important place, because there are car rental, airport buses and cars   Trains and supermarkets

Collins Street and Burke Street are two distinctive streets in the center of Melbourne. Artists, shopping and old buildings gather together to create a charming Melbourne. Although personally, I love Hobart much more than cat Ben, the unique charm of Melbourne as an important city cannot be denied.

I came in through an opening of Flinders railway station and went out through the main entrance. Through a row of clocks and carved windows and porches marking time all over the world, I could see St. Paul's Cathedral and federal square across the street. History and modern are intertwined and concentrated in the lens. The bustling crowd in the distance did not disturb the two men nearby. Their world is pure and the taste here is tolerant. At the moment when these scenes rush into my eyes, I quickly press the shutter to record the quietness in the noise, the simplicity in the hustle and bustle, and the history in the modern times. Of all the photos near Flinders railway station, this is my favorite

On the flank of the famous Flinders railway station.

There are a lot of buskers on Burke street. After you play, I'll be on the stage. All kinds of art forms intersect. This group of people sing and dance in this area every day and walk around a few streets. Although they don't know where they come from or what they are singing, it seems that these problems are not important when they meet.

This is just a casual picture of crossing the road. I didn't see the scene. The camera just pushed the shutter with my arm to my leg. On the road, a little more casual, there are always unexpected.

The front of the famous Flinders railway station is really spectacular, more spectacular than the photos, and more lively than the photos.

In China, with such a good day, so many people and such a bright night, the shops are always reluctant to close. But here, they are all closed. It seems that this trip, apart from shopping in supermarkets and food markets, is only in boxing, Adelaide   I've only been shopping for three or four hours on this day, but everything else is closed. In other words, shopping really doesn't attract me.

I met Samoye's dog friends in Melbourne. A group of white and lovely dogs crossed the street in groups. It was very spectacular. This picture is already at the end of the team.

Under the setting sun, the Melbourne road is quiet and serene, with a bit of idyllic atmosphere. If you drink some wine, you may feel a bit of Western flavor. But anyway, Melbourne under the setting sun is my favorite state. The purpose of traveling is to see the difference. The bustling central street is not so different from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. About parking: in Australia, the roadside parking is basically free on weekends and public holidays. From Monday to Friday, you can park for several hours at a certain time. When it's time, you need to move the car away. If a parking sign says 2p, it means that the car needs to be moved after 2 hours of parking. The following time is the time period when the rule needs to be obeyed. Besides that, you can park at will. Many paths are like this in photos. There is an isolation and parking area in the middle of the road. It's very convenient to turn in and park directly. Generally, you can park on the roadside at night. As long as it's not in the central core area, you can remove the car at the specified time in the morning. If you choose to drive by yourself, you really don't have to live in the city center. It's more convenient in the suburbs.

Day 8

2014-12-31

From Taiwan to Australia, when a flag flies over the sky, she should also be careful. Love is when one meets another and then does a lot of second things.

The picture shows the Royal Exhibition Hall in Melbourne. The place where the World Expo was held at that time fully shows the status of Melbourne in Australian history. Behind the exhibition hall is the Melbourne Museum, and next to it is the University of Melbourne. In front of the exhibition hall is a green park, which is very beautiful. In fact, I would rather lie on the grass for one day, another day, another day.

The Royal Exhibition Hall didn't open that day. I was lying in front of a glass door and looking at the inside. Although it was empty, I felt that I saw the prosperity of a hundred years ago when I was concentrating. The glass of the door shows the opposite sky, and the natural and artificial landscapes are superimposed together through a door. Yes, it's time to press the shutter.

It's all birds. Chinese birds are polluted and may be eaten at any time. The birds in Australia are much happier. They walk around without fear. The air and water are safe.

Look   deep   into   nature,   and   then   you   will   understand   everything   better.   The museum is full of patient parents and curious children. A nation that respects science and nature will not lag behind.

This is a different view of education. If you look at the picture and don't explain it, you will surely realize the difference.

Do you have the aura of a ninja turtle

Many parks in Australia have this kind of barbecue oven. It's electric and belongs to Teppanyaki type. It has its own equipment, and then you can have dinner together. It's a pity that we didn't prepare this time. We didn't have a chance to use it.

I don't know whether the tin toilet is specially made in modern times or has been preserved for a long time. It's antique outside and clean inside. In Australia, in addition to the public toilets, there are many drinking fountains on the roadside and in the park. The appearance is still full of British style, and all of them are iron.

New year's Eve in the city center, has stopped public transport, let pedestrians walk around. It's also domineering to go to a place where only trams can pass.

Can you read the breath of future artists from his face

Two days later, I met that group of people again

Day 9

2015-01-01

Goodbye, Melbourne, the first morning of 2015

A lot of marshmallows

Not every time you fly, you can see the edge of the continent and the connection between the sea and the land through patches of clouds. Land, sea and air accumulate in a picture. In fact, the world is not the world under our feet, nor the world in our mind

Tasmania is beautiful, full of New Zealand temperament, with the mystery of the Lord of the rings. Overlooking Hobart's coastline from the sky, before the plane landed, take a circle to show us the most beautiful blue.

The father-in-law in his right hand was invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, which made it difficult to chase sister Jing. The reason why my father-in-law is invincible is that he has almost no hobbies except to travel and see new things in his life. He is warm-hearted and upright. He basically does something to take care of himself and others. When we can't open our eyes, we don't forget to remind us to thank the stewardess, let alone give others trouble. When we started our honeymoon in Australia, my father-in-law's health was already worrying. In order to fulfill the old man's wish, my daughter-in-law and I took the old man on the road with the worst intention and the greatest determination. When he arrived at Hobart, his father-in-law was unable to get off the plane by himself. Fortunately, although it was a low-cost airline, he did not give any discount to the care and care of passengers. Whether it was tiger airlines or Jetstar, he had wheelchair and elevator help all the way, which was meticulous and thoughtful. Along the way, I also thank my brother for his company and the understanding and consideration of my good brother Xiao Lu and his wife. The story of the old man will be told later. The experience of seeking medical treatment is unusual. We can't choose how to start our life, but we can choose how to end it.

As soon as you get to Hobart and drive on the road, you can feel two big differences from Melbourne. first   The gradient of the road is obviously increased, and there are many steep slopes up and down; second   The number of pebbles on the road increased significantly, and the car started to crack. Fortunately, car rental in Australia is more reasonable and not very tangled. Let's talk about car rental on the next page.

About car rental: the main car rental company in Australia is hertz,   avis,   budget,   europcar,   Redpot and so on. I'm a budget almost all the way because it's cheap. Take the online order, bring the translation of the driver's license, the original, the driver's own international credit card, go to the counter, the procedure is relatively simple, we are almost all in the upgrade model. When I pick up the car, I have a detailed fee, a contract term, an insurance description, a delivery slip (used to draw where the scratch is), and a car key. There is a big difference between the car keys and domestic rental cars. The key provides important information about the car, such as photo number, model, fuel type, etc. When I pick up the car, I still carefully check the scratches when I get off the car, but generally when I return the car, the car rental company just takes a simple look. When Hobart picks up the car, the counter takes the key, goes to the parking lot to find the car, and then drives away. When you return the car, it's full of gas. Generally, you can return the car half an hour late. Insurance budget generally adds about $28 a day, which can greatly reduce the starting amount of insurance. It is recommended to buy it to avoid accidents. If you've ever rented a car in China, I can tell you that the procedures and procedures are actually simpler than those in China, so don't worry too much.

I told my daughter-in-law that this place should be used as an adult ceremony when I was 20. As a result, I was as busy reading as a fool at that time. I didn't experience this toss until I was in my thirties. Compared with other people in CYTS, our family looks really special. So the daughter-in-law made a 2 to express her happiness.

Hobart's quiet coast

Salamanca Place

Hobart is just in time for the end of the Sydney Hobart sailing race every year, which is also the day of Hobart food festival. There is a long greenhouse beside Salamanca square, a grand gathering of dozens of wineries and food suppliers, and a band performance in the evening. It's very happy. It's just right to buy some drinks and food, sit by the sea and chat in a daze.

Australian pancakes

Day 10

2015-01-02

If you don't squeeze me, I'll watch the scenery with you

Leisurely by me, the thief pull calm

It's cold on the mountain, honey. Put on your hat.

The pictures taken through the windshield are more oil painting

Hobart's second day belongs to Wellington hill. A local aunt said that you are the president of China   I came to us a few days ago and climbed this mountain

When we get to the top of the mountain, we meet this handsome running guy. Running in Nike is just different

The top of the mountain in Wellington is flat with stones, which reminds me of the Lord of the rings. Maybe thousands of years ago, it used to be the ground, and the scenery below was in the sea, or thousands of years later, it will become flat, and now everything will be submerged.

The little house on the hillside of Wellington is a public toilet

The small house on the right in the middle of the picture is the lookout, where you can overlook the whole Hobart landscape.

I'll see the scenery with you and walk around with you

This is the top of the mountain

To Sandy   Bay's path, pulling me back to the 1980s

This little dog belongs to a pair of old people at the top left of the picture. In addition, there is the same breed that has always been white. I don't know where to be in a daze at the moment. They are not related by blood. They came to this family together 14 years ago. They have been together for 14 years, almost inseparable. I waited for a long time and took pictures of them not together. Ha ha. Hobart's old man is humorous and cheerful. That afternoon, in a daze on the beach, walking, several local people took the initiative to chat with us. The old man greets our tragedy in Shanghai, and the kite flying mother-in-law also talks about her exchanging Chinese learning daughters in China.

sandy   Bay is very quiet   It's beautiful, from Sandy   Bay goes to Salamanca square, passes by Cape Bartley and passes through the rich area. It's a very beautiful scenery.

This dog, Henry, comes to this beach with his master three or four times a week. The old man throws a ball into the sea. He rushes in and picks it up. He has been enjoying it for nine years. Time in Hobart depends on how fast, how slow. The smile, humor, kindness and tranquility of the local old people make me feel the tolerance and open-minded of the city, and envy the welfare and benefits brought by the sparsely populated. In fact, the common feelings of human beings are very simple. Most of the time, we are willing to be friendly to others. Some people are kind. We all believe in gratitude and respect for the old and the young. I believe that with universal values and basic human ties, we can get through different nationalities, skin colors and even religions. What we need is a more cheerful personality, an open mind and enough patience.

From Sandy   When Bay comes up, he comes across this scene. A sense of small town's image strikes his eyes. It seems that the scenery he has been looking for suddenly comes when you don't pay attention to it. So my right hand and sister Jing took a picture again, leaving the scene and the picture below.

This is the real Lu Hu fan

That natural brand of potato chips is very bad

That year, people were building their homes, and we were in the Opium War

It's a great pity that the local people didn't dance together during the festival. Don't miss it next time.

Day 11

2015-01-03

The grassland is as delicate as skin.

There is a small town beside Hobart called Richmond, which has touching scenery both along the way and in the town

After shooting, I think it's fake, but I didn't use any virtualization and axis shifting

A family's farm entrance, 40 km speed limit, the left is the farm, the right is home. That's when you understand, peasant woman   mountain spring   A little bit. What a wonderful life

You see, the two birds behind are in pairs just like us. I lay on the ground, waiting for these three couples to enter my camera at the same time.

Take you to see the meteor shower, take you to the fairy tale world.

When I left Richmond, I passed the winery at the entrance of town. If I remember correctly, it was called pooley. I went in and tasted it. It's not bad. It's worth the price. The old lady who received us said that they only do high-end wine, and the annual quantity is limited. After buying it, they pull it down and live in peace. They never consider exporting or expanding their business, which makes us quite envious from China. I don't see how high-end their wine is, but it tastes good.

It's a corner of the Chateau's bathroom. Nothing more

Day 12

2015-01-04

Let's give the driver a close-up. Although the 8-seat modern IMAX we rent looks big, it has a good view and a large space, but its power is a little less

On the way to Ross Town, the color of the tree is bright green. I almost didn't change its color. I was surprised at the first sight

Ross was once an important post station in central Tasmania. Now the whole town is protected by Australia as a cultural relic. One night I spent the night in Ross, but later I stayed in Hobart, which proved to be the most important mistake in the design of this trip. Ross is so beautiful, it's worth staying, quiet taste

church

Ross found the cafe in the picture at the back. The food in their house was ordinary, but the coffee was very good. The layout in the shop was very classic. The little sister brought some baby fat, which was very sweet.

The souvenirs in the small town post office are basically made in China, but some of them have not been seen in China. Can send a postcard, reasonable price, the old lady in the post office is amiable.

On January 4, we started the day of crossing Tasmania. In fact, the island is not big. From Hobart to lonceston, the distance between the two cities is only more than 200 kilometers. A No. 1 highway connects the two cities and runs through Tasmania. Along the way through Oatlands and Ross are very beautiful, Campbell is an important supply station.

Oatlands RV camp, I really look forward to the next trip can drive RV travel.

The door was open, and the sun was shining through the window, warmly illuminating the polished wooden tables and chairs. Maybe many people have prayed or baptized again. I can't see through history, but I'm willing to sit down and feel it

The important towns on this road are all indicated on the road signs

The most famous one in Oatlands is this iconic windmill, which is more than 20 meters high, and has a leisurely turn there. It is also a town with a history of about 200 years. If you drive a RV, consider staying for one night or having lunch here

Ross's most f
