Week 37 at the centre of the world / 在世界中心‧‧‧

Travelling week! Arrived Adelaide on Sunday, then travel around Adelaide... start a great trip from Adelaide to Alice Spring on Wednesday!

I saw a lot of thing in this trip, the most attractive sightseeing poing, landmark of Australia: Uluru(Ayers Rock) included in this trip! I believe it is a neccessary visit point in Australia! Colour changing during sunset and sunrise both amazing! Also, it is my first camping in Australia! We also walk around King Canyon, it's a really amazing view that cannot found in Hong Kong! Actually... in my point of view, it look like the view on other planet...

But unfortunately... when we on the way from King Canyon to Alice Spring... we hit a kangaroo on high way... a really big creature! We all safe in this accident... but... the car cannot drive anymore... it's really bad news... we need to find another method to go to Darwin...

旅遊週!整週都是旅遊都是玩!在週日抵達ADELAIDE後,重遇台灣朋友,坐上他們的車與他們同遊ADELAIDE市及近郊!之後在週三開始了由ADELAIDE到ALICE SPRING的旅程!

當中經過了ULURU,澳洲中心的大石!個人覺得可說是到澳洲就應該去看一下的超著名景點!運氣不錯,還有機會爬上這大石!日出及日落時的顏色變化,也是神奇至極的景致,真的值得一看!這邊除了ULURU之外,還有一些些奇石大石可以看,真的值得一遊!在這邊也進行了在澳洲的我第一次露營~

之後我們到了KING CANYON去,很神奇的山谷,石頭、石壁很特別!我甚至覺得不是地球的景色呢!

很好玩的一週,但也有另一個不大好的第一次體驗‧‧‧這次旅遊是自助駕車遊,晚上行車時,到達ALICE SPRING之前,我們撞袋鼠了‧‧‧撞到很大一隻~

人沒事是很好,但車的水箱(引擎降溫用)破掉了,所以不能開了‧‧‧另外,車頭也陷得蠻多的,不花大錢修可能修不好,車主也是背包客,看來是不打算修的了‧‧‧所以我們要找方法繼續旅程,從ALICE SPRING到DARWIN了~

Week 36 Mt. Cradle again and Sydney/再遊搖籃山‧‧‧及悉尼

After the experience of HelpX, I travel with Lai to goto Mt. Cradle again! I am glad to made that decision! Because this time I visited Dove lake under a very good sunny day! I took a lot of fantastic picture!

After that... I arrived Sydney on 30th, April. I spent 3 days in Sydney, include travel around Blue Mountain... at the result, I like Mt. Cradle much more!

在完成了交換住宿的體驗後,與台灣友人小賴一起再遊TASMANIA,作為離開前的一個節目。今次再到DOVE LAKE,因為是天晴的關係,拍到很多好照片。(可以到右邊『我的相簿』連結裡看更多的照片)

在這之後於四月三十日的晚上乘飛機到SYDNEY,只在這兒逗留了短短三天,也不能說有甚麼體認,但老實說我不是太喜歡城市,所以就不怎麼介意了!

在離開前遊了一下藍山,在之前有聽說過藍山是不能和TAS的景色相比的,雖說看的東西不同‧‧‧但真的就景色來比較,真的差距蠻大的!但來到SYDNEY,怎也要遊一下藍山吧!

如無意外‧‧‧下一次更新應該就是ADELAIDE週邊相關的了~

Week 35 HelpX experience (Elm Wood B&B)/HelpX 經驗

I goto stay in a B&B that week, I had never think about I will stay in a B&B in this trip. Elm Wood B&B, a B&B in Westbury. Thanks for Gil, Diana and Cheung, I spent a very good time in this week!

This is a HelpX host in Westbury, I work for the host to exchange meal and accommodation, that mean I don't need to pay for any money, but I can have a good meal and good accommodation! Actually, the works are a little bit be heavy, but it quite interesting... I cut the log, first time... I work as a carpenter, first time...

We have a good communication every night! Thanks for Gil & Diana! Also Adi and Boy! I've got a very good time in this week! (Also my first time to stay with pet!)

這週是我第一次住在B&B的日子。在旅程開始前也沒想過有機會住在這種相比背包旅館貴上很多的地方!托HelpX.net的福,找到這個用工作交換住宿及餐點的地方,才有機會有這樣的體驗。

屋主是GIL及DIANA夫婦,他們養了一狗一貓作寵物,名字是ADI及BOY,很有趣的兩隻寵物,尤其是ADI,經常都會很貼心地走在你身邊!

工作雖然蠻多的,但在那邊其實除了工作外也沒甚麼好做,我第一次體驗了砍柴!也第一次使用很多不同的木工工具,所以感覺蠻好的!其中一天,GIL帶我們到附近的LIFFEY FALL看,也是一個漂亮的地方!

總的來說,這週的體驗我很是滿意!
