Chapter 978 Lonely
When I opened the restaurant door, there were no customers in the restaurant. There were only a young man on the bar drinking and chatting with several elderly people. The melody of "California Hotel" echoed in the room.
I looked at the restaurant and saw old jukeboxes, hoods and various old items placed beside the walls, and big axes, chainsaws and large cutting gears were hung on the walls.
Don't think about it, listen to Yun Luo's words. There is still a photo on the wall. Huh? Isn't the person in the photo the young man at the bar? Some color-changing photos record the young man's life experience, as well as his friends and customers.
After looking at the menu on the blackboard on the wall, I went to the bar to order food. When ordering, I accidentally heard the old man ask the waitress, "Is that person who drives the car Jack? I was there at that time?" "I'm sorry, there is no one in that car." Yun Luo instantly saw the big photo on the wall and understood why this restaurant has so many "heavy weapons".
I guess this place must have been a small town dominated by the logging industry back then. These old people were the builders of the year and were frequent visitors here. The photos recorded their youthful memories. They did not interrupt their conversation, allowing the elderly to continue to immerse themselves in their memories. Yunluo was also infected by the traces of time revealed by this restaurant!
After a while, the rice between An Qingju and Yunluo came. At first glance, An Qingju and Yunluo regretted it a little. These burgers and sandwiches are all in sufficient portions, but ordering three servings is enough.
Although the town is far away from the central area, the ingredients are very fresh, and each dish has received unanimous praise from An Qingju and Yunluo. It is no exaggeration to call it the best burger for An Qingju and Yunluo on this trip. After dinner, I asked the young man about the passing and arrived at the treetop from here. I left the restaurant reluctantly and took photos as a souvenir.
After a while, An Qingju and Yunluo arrived at the entrance of Otteretopwalk. Here we will give a brief introduction to the attractions. In fact, no matter the Tree Ay Lighthouse, it belongs to the Greatotway National Park.
The entire park is located in the Greatoceanroad area between Angle and Capeotway, covering an area of 100,000 hectares. The treetop walk is a steel aerial walkway between Australia's tallest treetops. It is about 600 meters long and has a maximum of 45 meters. It can withstand strong winds of 280km/h.
It is the longest and highest treetop strolling passage among similar landscapes in the world. Although the construction was hugely manpower and material resources, the social and economic benefits obtained now have far exceeded the benefits of cutting down rainforests, bringing tourists a unique experience.
The tickets I bought in lorne came in handy at this time. After showing them, I entered the park to take a walk. The road was surrounded by tall trees and ferns. I followed the road instructions and arrived at the entrance of the passage soon. After playing around, I felt very good overall, and there was a passage that I could find out more interesting.
The whole tour took about an hour and a half, and then got on the bus and prepared to go to the next attraction - Capeotway Lighthouse.
Get in the car and take out your camera to view the map taken in the town. If you walk along the road at this time, you can drive back to the Great Ocean Road. But you will miss the lighthouse and you must go back and it is not short.
Another option is to go back along the road I just came to, and there is a dirt road that goes south near the town, which can be directly inserted back to the Great Ocean Road, and you can reach the lighthouse not far away. After the discussion, I once again used the spirit of taking the unusual road today, and turned back to the town and followed the NNSRD and Airevalleyrd road to the Great Ocean Road.
This road can be said to be the wildest self-driving journey this time. However, the navigation is meticulous, and the whole journey is sandy and gravel road is still flat. It takes about 30km and it takes 40 or 50 minutes to drive. Judging from the signs on both sides, many trucks appear here. There are no scenery along the way, but there are also surprises.
An Qingju and Yunluo saw 5 groups of red parrots, with more than 10, so Yunluo was more willing to name this road as Yunluo: "Parrot Road".
Finally turned onto the Great Ocean Road. The road was so flat that it made people feel uncomfortable. Following the signposts, turn left and drive onto the road to the lighthouse. After getting on this road, everyone in the car would be cheered up. Why? Because there is a koala here! Although the guide I have read in the past states that there is an eucalyptus forest there, we don’t know it.
The car drove for a while. Suddenly, my friend who was driving shouted, "Koala"! It's true or false. You can see the koala while driving. Everyone got off the car with doubts and saw it. They won the prize! There were more than one in the tree, and they shot wildly. The cars coming from behind took aside and joined the shooting team. They stopped and stopped along the way, and there were at least a dozen koala.
The closest contact with the koala was when I returned from the lighthouse and passed by the door near this gate (the ground was made of an iron pipe). I also heard the koala's screams, which were very inconsistent with my identity and were a bit like a cow's call. If I can't find the koala after reading this post, I can only blame you.
I didn't plan to go to the lighthouse, so I didn't buy tickets in Lorne. I just wanted to see the scenery around me. After arriving, I realized that the Australian people here were a bit unkind. The entrance was built very far and I had to go in and walk for a while before I arrived. If you don't buy tickets, you can't even see the sea, let alone the lighthouse.
If this happens, buy a ticket and leave no regrets. In general, this lighthouse is more simple than the lighthouses that An Qingju and Yunluo saw yesterday, and it is not beautiful, but the surrounding view is not bad, much stronger than yesterday. This lighthouse landscape is finally ranked second, and the more beautiful lighthouse is still waiting for An Qingju and Yunluo in Tasmania.
After leaving here, An Qingju and Yunluo began to rush to today's most important attraction - the 12 disciples' scenic spot group. After driving back to the Great Ocean Road from Lighthouse Road, from this section of the road to the Gibson Steps, most of the time will be away from the sea view and will be moved through the mountain road.
After a while, the sea view began to reappear on the left side of the road. At this time, pay attention to the signs beside the road. After seeing the instructions from gibsonsteps, An Qingju and Yunluo stopped to take pictures. This is also the only nearby attractions that can go down to the beach.
When I left the Gibson Steps, it was already 7 o'clock. I walked along the way and didn't see the signs of the 12 disciples. I went to the town of Port Campbell while I was talking. So I check-in first and put down my luggage. The owner had left, but the key was placed at the door. There was a large yard inside the hotel, surrounded by guest rooms and parking spaces in front of the room.
An Qingju and Yunluo live in a separate red brick house. The room is much bigger than yesterday and is clean and tidy. Two bedrooms, with kitchen and living room, are worth recommending.
After a brief tidying up, I asked the locals about the location of the twelve disciples. After walking back along the Great Ocean Road for about 10 minutes, I saw a street sign pointing to locharge. It should be here. As soon as the car drove in, I found that there were three parking lots, where were the twelve disciples?
Let's look from left to right. After arriving at the last parking lot, there was still a long way to the viewing location. It was about to set sun, and An Qingju and Yunluo, four wearing windbreakers, ran wildly against the wind. They had not eaten yet at 8 o'clock. This taste is conceivable. As a result, when they saw it, they were not there, and they walked for a long time before returning to the parking lot.
I only found out afterwards that An Qingju and Yunluo practiced long-distance running today is Locke Ade Canyon, which is also a famous attraction.
Dragging my tired body, it was already past 9 pm when I drove back to town, and most of the restaurants and shops in the town were closed. I wouldn't be so sad, right? Suddenly I saw a restaurant still open. After a closer look, it turned out to be waves mentioned in the guide.
I quickly parked the car and went in to find out what I wanted. Then order the dishes. The one that impressed Yunluo the most was the ginger-flavored fish and rice ordered by Yunluo. It tasted very special and was worth trying.
After a meal, four people paid 95.5 yuan. It was OK. The waiters here served enthusiastically and agreed to every request. Before leaving, they actually said "Goodbye" to An Qingju and Yunluo. This was the first time when they heard a foreigner greeting An Qingju and Yunluo in Chinese, and quickly said to the young man, "Issue the rchine isverygood". When the young man heard it, he smiled shyly.
When I walked out of the restaurant, a police car drove towards me. When I saw An Qingju and Yun Luo stopped behind, did An Qingju and Yun Luo commit crimes? Before I could think too much, the policeman opened his mouth and said, "Hello", and it turned out that he was here to practice speaking. However, the two Chinese dialects in the past and after made Yun Luo feel warm whenever he thinks of this small town.
Last night, I used iPad to check the posts I had read before, and finally understood the location of the 12 disciples. I could only blame myself for being careless when doing my homework and missing the sunset of the 12 disciples.
Here we will also summarize the attractions near the 12 disciples: If you come from the direction of apollobay, when approaching the portcampbell, the three attractions of gibsonsteps, 12 disciples, and lochardge will appear one after another, not far away, but you have to drive. There are street signs on the Gibson Steps, which are on the left side of the direction of progress.
The 12 disciples have street signs, but it is not the 12 disciples. It seems to be xx Park. On the right side of the road, there is a very well-paved road that extends into it. There is a viewing helicopter and a more conspicuous visitor center. When visiting, you need to walk through the underground passage of the highway to the other side to see the view.
There are street signs in lochardge Park. There are three scenic spots on the left side of the direction of the way forward. You need to drive to the corresponding parking lot before walking to view the scenery.
When checkout, the owner was a passionate middle-aged woman, who once again told An Qingju and Yunluo the 12 disciples. After leaving the town, he drove back not far, and saw a street sign with xx park written on it, which was it.
I actually passed by here yesterday, but I didn’t pay attention. You said that it was such a famous attraction, why didn’t you write the names of the 12 disciples on it? Get off the bus and make up for yesterday’s regrets.
After leaving these two attractions, the destination was set as Warrnambool. When walking not far away through a small town, the navigation belt An Qingju and Yunluo left the Great Ocean Road and began to pass through the pastures. The roads connecting the pastures are in good condition, and you can see cattle and sheep on both sides of the pastures from time to time and large irrigation machines.
It was really relaxing and comfortable to wander in the scenery of the pasture. At about noon, An Qingju and Yunluo drove back to the Great Ocean Road and came to Warrnambool through P-Ri nceshwy. Warrnambool is a place where whale watching, but unfortunately it is not the season. When approaching the town, I obviously felt that the number of vehicles increased, and 4S stores selling cars began to appear on both sides.
This signal told Yunluo that this would be a very large town. Sure enough, An Qingju and Yunluo, who had been running wild for a few days, finally regained some urban feeling here.
I had lunch at McDonald's. When I went in, I realized what it was cheap. Four people only had 25.5 yuan for a meal. Yunluo didn't eat these things in China, but today I thought they tasted pretty good, especially French fries (F-rice) to recommend them. Later, I had a few more meals during my trip, and the taste of French fries still makes Yunluo feel after all.
After dinner, I drove onto Melbourne. I just got on the expressway and the navigation suddenly asked An Qingju and Yunluo to get off the expressway. I was going to cause trouble. Ignore it and continue walking.
But after walking a few steps, there was a prompt that the road was interrupted in front of me. Please take a detour. While there was still a signal on the iPad, I simply checked the map, turned around and walked back, and actually walked on the road that the navigation was referring to. I took a short walk along this road and successfully returned to the p-day nceshwy, beautiful!
Someone said, is this navigation so accurate? Yunluo said that this is "a coincidence, a coincidence is extremely urgent". Because Yunluo has not opened the road conditions, the navigation will not know the road conditions, but it just happened to want An Qingju and Yunluo to copy the section of the road.
After driving for more than ten minutes, I arrived near a farm. A sign in front made Yunluo a little too big: "Break the road, please go around." I saw a bridge in front, the river water was turbulent, and there were sandbags on the side of the road. After reading so many strategies, I had never seen such twists and turns when I returned to Melbourne.
Although the floods in Queensland were raging during this period, Victoria was not so peaceful, and floods occurred occasionally in some areas. Get off the bus and asked for directions. I asked the uncle walking the dog next to me, but I didn’t explain it clearly after a few round trips. I had to look at the remaining map on the iPad and found that there should be roads to go around in front, so I got on the bus. This section of the road probably took a few kilometers.
Chapter completed!
