The fairy little penguin about 30 cm tall is also called "Penguin Island" by locals. Novelty Chinese. Many people from all over the world come to the observation deck and observation path of Philip Island Natural Park to appreciate the penguins returning home, but in order to protect the penguins' habits of habitual penguins, only 500,000 people can come to watch every year. Whenever the sun sets, night falls.

Batches of little penguins came ashore in a group and returned to their nests, swaying and swinging, looking very cute. As early as a thousand years ago, the summer land of Philip Island (summerland peninsula) was already the home of little penguins. They built nests in sand dunes, leaving early and returning late every day, even if they couldn't see their five fingers.

For thousands of years, they have always followed a fixed route to their caves. Penguins come back at night because they are afraid that artificial light sources will irritate their eyes, so the island is subject to light control at this time. There are only a few incandescent lamps with extremely small wattages along the coast, and only a few small light bulbs on the beach that can only illuminate the shore.

(Note: Because penguins are very timid and "returning to their nests" is in the evening. In order to avoid scaring the penguins, all tourists are prohibited from taking photos and taking videos.) They have deep caves in the soil on the island, and the penguins live in deep caves. During the day, adult penguins leave the island and swim to the deep sea one or two hundred kilometers offshore foraging.

It will take about four or five days to return. At that time, they are full and can bring enough food to the penguins in the nest. But for some reason, no matter when the penguins go out to the sea, the time they return to the island is as accurate as artificial timing. They always land on the island after it is dark and there is no light.

Churchill Traditional Farm (churhillisland) reflects the authentic farm history of Australia. This is a completely used cultural heritage pasture, historic homes, rural gardens, farm-raised animals, and spectacular natural scenery make up a beautiful picture.

The weather was very good today. Yun Luo got up early in the morning. When he walked to the street, there were very few cars and people. There was a lighthouse next to him. Yun Luo and An Chuyu drove over to take a look. The air was so good. When will Yun Luo and An Chuyu go to Philip Island in Mornington today?

From the map, you can see that the distance to drive on the ferry is the shortest. If you don’t take the ferry and take a detour to Melbourne north, it will not only be far away but also take a lot of time. Yunluo and Anchu came to the port, and many boats were parked here. Yunluo also wanted to say when will the ferry in Beijing have such weather? The ferry in the port can be driven up.

Departure! It takes more than 40 minutes from Queensli to Sorrento. You can get off the car and have a cup of coffee in the cabin, or you can go to the top floor to take photos like Yunluo! When you arrive in Sorrento, Yunluo just wants to say that the sea water here is too clear.

There were no people on the beach. Yunluo and An Chuyu continued to drive to Philipsland. Generally, the little penguins returned to their nests after dark at night, so Yunluo and An Chuyu first drove to the Churchill Farm on the island, which is a traditional Australian farm.

There are many activities every day, such as milking cows, sheepdogs driving sheep, throwing boomerangs, etc. For the specific time, you can see the official website: au/attrations/hurhill-island/ativities/Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at exactly 3 pm. I watched the sheepdog driving sheep, which was very interesting.

Later, I went to throw away the boomerang. There were many animals on the farm, especially sheep. Yunluo, a child in the capital, liked the blue sky so much. There were many small houses on the farm. It showed the appearance of the farm family in the last century. Sheep were still very afraid of people and walked away when they saw them.

At dusk, Yunluo and Anchu met the Penguin Parade Natural Ecological Reserve (penguinparade). In order to protect the little penguins, photography and video are prohibited. The little penguins in Australia are very small. When they arrive at the point, they will return to the shore in groups, which is very spectacular. There will be stands by the sea. After dark, the penguins will return to their nests.

If you come early, you can solve the dinner first. The official website of Penguin Ecological Reserve: au/attrations/penguin-parade/After watching Penguin, Yunluo and An Chuyu drove back to Melbourne. In Melbourne. Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at a friend's house, so there was no hotel set.

Yunluo and An Chuhui will visit the University of Melbourne in Melbourne today and fly to Cairns in the afternoon. Attractions show that the University of Melbourne (theuniveityomel Bourne) was built in 1853 and is the second oldest university in Australia (three years later than the University of Sydney). The oldest university in Victoria.

Graduates are qualified to work directly in the UK. The weather is also good today. Yunluo and An Chuyun plan to visit the University of Melbourne.

This is also one of the two target universities for this trip. The other is the Australian National University in Canberra. Yunluo and An Chuzhi live in a car drive by Toorak, a wealthy area in Melbourne, with many rich people. They come to Ormond College, University of Melbourne.

There are many European Gothic buildings here. The bicycles on the campus are very good! This is a corridor of a building in the middle of the campus. When Yunluo and An Chu met, someone took wedding photos here. The lawn in the university came out of the University of Melbourne. It was not too early. Yunluo and An Chu met to the airport and took a plane all the way north to Cairns.

The Great Barrier Reef, the clouds are falling!

Today, Yunluo and Anchuhui will participate in a day trip to thegreatadventures. Take a cruise to Green Island and continue sailing to the Great Barrier Reef. Attractions description Cairns, a coastal city and a local administrative area in northern Queensland, Australia. It was an export port for transporting inland minerals in the west in the early days.

Later it developed into a harbor city for sugar making and exporting sugar. Today, Cairns has developed rapidly, with a population of about 124,000, and the tourism industry is particularly developed. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest and longest coral reef group, located on the northeastern coast of Australia in the South Pacific, and it runs across the Coral Sea outside Queensland, northeastern Australia.

From the Torres Strait in the north, to the south of the Tropic of Cancer (about 10° to 24° south), it extends for a total of about 2,600 kilometers, and the widest is 161 kilometers. There are about 2,900 independent reefs [3] and 900 large and small islands, distributed within a range of about 344,400 square kilometers, and the natural landscape is very special.

The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is 241 kilometers away from the coast, and the northern end is closer, and the nearest is only 16 kilometers away from the coast. At low tide, some coral reefs are exposed to the water to form a coral island. There is an extremely convenient transportation route between the reef group and the coast. When the waves are calm, the cruise ship passes here, and the ship is constantly colorful and shaped coral scenery.

It has become the best undersea wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world to come and see. The Great Barrier Reef is built by billions of tiny coral polyps. It is the largest object built by living creatures and can be seen even from outer space. Because it creates rich biodiversity, it was listed on the World Natural Heritage List in 1981.

It was also selected by CNN as the seven natural wonders of the world. Most areas of the Great Barrier Reef are protected by the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Park, which reduces the impact of humans on this area, such as fishing, tourism, etc. However, other environmental factors still affect the Great Barrier Reef, such as coral bleaching caused by runoff or climate change and the periodic increase of crowns of thorn starfish.

The Great Barrier Reef is also a very popular tourist attraction, especially in the Whitsundayislands and Cairns region. The tourism industry is an important economic activity here. It has an output value of about one billion US dollars every year. Greenisland has many islands of different sizes near the Great Barrier Reef, among which Greenisland is the most popular among tourists.

Green Island is a coral island formed about 6,000 years ago, with an area of ​​less than 1 square kilometer. The slender beaches on the island are clear and sandy, and the quality is excellent. At the beginning of the trip, the plane flew to Cairns at night. Yun Luo and An Chuyu took a taxi to their residence.

Regarding the information about this hotel (actually considered an apartment), Yunluo will explain in detail in the accommodation section of the use guide below. In Cairns, there are several ferry companies operating cruises and one-day tours from Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef. Yunluo and An Chuyu participated in the greenisland & greatbar Riereadventure of greatadventures.

Green Island and Great Barrier Reef Tour. Itinerary includes: Catamaran Expressway Cruise to and from Cairns Pier before starting, hot tea or coffee on board, two-hour Green Island tour for three-hour Norman Era Barrier Reef Tour for free Green Island and Norman Era Barrier Reef snorkeling equipment for free use of buoyancy vest on Norman Great Barrier Reef Coral Reef Ecology Introduction to the rich seafood buffet lunch.

Take a semi-submarine to enjoy the wonderful underwater world Great Barrier Reef ecological explanation price: itinerary price 228 + environmental management fee 6=4 (￥) per adult. In addition, Yunluo and An Chuyu also participated in self-selected helicopter sightseeing. 10 minutes, 159 (￥890.4) per person.

Early in the morning, Yunluo and An Chuyu got up and went to the pier. Cairns city is not big, and most places can be walked. However, the place where Yunluo and An Chuyu live is a little farther away, and it takes 20 minutes to walk. This is the double-decker cruise ship of Greatadventures. In fact, there are three times, and the top is an open-air platform.

I took a cruise ship to the upper floor again. Although the sea breeze was a bit strong, the scenery was still good, and you could see many underwater coral reefs. The cruise ship first came to Green Island, because the tonnage was relatively large. It could only park in a relatively far place, and the coral reefs in the water were very beautiful. Once I went to Green Island, there was a visitor center.

The facilities and recreational projects on the island can be introduced here. There are lush plants on the island, which should belong to tropical rainforests. The beaches on the island are also very good and the sea water is very clear. This beautiful scenery is most suitable for snorkeling, and you can not only see beautiful coral reefs, but also see various fish.

This is a family of four, and their parents are snorkeling with their two children, and they are having fun! After staying on Green Island for two hours, Yunluo and An Chuyu continued to take a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. Yunluo and An Chuyu docked on a large water platform to have a buffet lunch here. There is also a semi-submarine, where you can sit in it and watch the corals and fish in the water.

However, the glass is a bit dirty, and if you have the conditions, you should dive. Watch a large number of corals in the semi-submarine, but it is said that these corals are dead and there are groups of fish. After lunch, Yun Luo and An Chuyu decided to take a helicopter to overlook the Great Barrier Reef. There are 6 people in the helicopter, and it is recommended to sit in front. It is very pleasant to watch!

Looking at the Great Barrier Reef in the helicopter, Yun Luo sat in the back, and had to take a glass photo through the glass, and there would be some glass reflections. If you sit in front of you, there would be a small open window, which would be great for shooting. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef on the plane. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef on the plane. Aerial photography of the Great Barrier Reef on the plane. The platform in the distance was where Yun Luo and An Chuyu docked on the cruise ship.

I personally feel that the helicopter is quite worth it, which is much more shocking than watching on the boat, but it is more expensive. In the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Cairns City by cruise ship. When they got off the boat, the sun was shining and the port was very beautiful. There will be many seagulls on the beach. If you feed them, more seagulls will fly over.

However, Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't bring food at that time. Should we sit on the shore and watch the sunset feeding the seagulls, what a pleasant evening! In the evening, Yunluo and An Chuyu found this restaurant with more recommendations, a specialty shrimp store, which tasted good. They sat down before 6:30 pm and were 15% off. However, the price is still relatively expensive, and they are tourist cities.

It is understandable. For more information about this store, Yunluo will introduce it in the practical guide to the dining and food in the following practical guide. After returning to the hotel, today's itinerary ends. The Great Barrier Reef is a wonder of the world, giving people a very shocking memory. However, from the later itinerary, when Yunluo and An Chu met and played in the Holy Spirit Islands (whitsunday).

Cairns seems to be very cost-effective. The specific reason is that Yunluo is here to keep a close eye. Please see the part of the Whitsunday Islands of Yunluo Travels. Kuranda takes a cable car, train, and see the tropical rainforest. Kuranda's itinerary shows that today Yunluo and Anchu meet to visit Kuranda in the northwest of Cairns. The cable car goes to and return. The cable car is a red route.

Trains are green lines. Attractions indicate that Kuranda is a small town hidden in the rainforest about 27 kilometers north of Cairns, Queensland. Kuranda was first built as a railway station in 1850. Because the logging and mining industries became the main local industry at that time.

As the only transportation hub in the region at that time, Kuranda played an active role in transporting and storing goods; providing accommodation for people coming and going; and promoting local Tu culture. The town is named after the Tu language, with a total population of only about 750 people. However, more than 500,000 tourists take trains at home and abroad every year.

Cars or aerial cable car come to Kuranda and its surrounding tropical rainforest areas to visit. Although Kuranda Town is small, it is located in the extremely beautiful tropical rainforest. Among them, the towering century-old trees, straight waterfalls, trickling streams, rare wildlife, and the colorful flowers that exudes a rich fragrance everywhere on both sides of the road.

All of them outlined a beautiful scenery like a paradise for Kuranda. In order to allow tourists to better appreciate the beautiful scenery here without damaging the ecological environment, the government built a famous aerial cable car. The cable car is 7.5 kilometers in the entire factory, making it the longest cable car in the world. It passed 12 towers in the middle, and Tower No. 6 is the highest point, with an elevation of 40.5 meters.

The starting and ending points of the cable car are Caravonialake and Kuranda. On the way, there are two transfer stations at Redpeak and Barronfall. There is also a lookout for far viewing. There is a tropical rainforest research center near Barronfall Station.
