In fact, starting from today's journey, you will see various animals hit and killed from time to time on the roadside. Most of them are kangaroos, wombats, hares, crows, etc. Among them, most of them are bumped into eating animals while eating animals on the roadside. This is exactly the birds who die for food.

Even so, it is still difficult to encounter wild animals when driving during the day, because like kangaroos, wombats do not move during the day, so try to avoid driving in the early morning or at night on Ta Island.

Not long after, An Qingju and Yunluo came to a scenic spot on this trip - the tarraleah Talaria Hydropower Station. The construction of this hydropower station began around 1930 and started operation in 1938, using the electricity generated by the water resources of the Devonte River and Lake St. Clair to meet people's growing demand for energy.

There are no particularly famous attractions on the road behind. From time to time, there will be signs to tell you where to see the scenery nearby. An Qingju and Yunluo did not stop and fully enjoy the feeling of being on the road. When encountering dangerous roads in the mountains, there will be signs that recommend speed limits. Don’t show your driving skills here.

After experiencing countless curves and mountainous ups and downs, the signs on the road ahead attracted the attention of Yunluo: nelsonfalls, Nelson Falls. This waterfall is about 35 meters high and can be reached by foot 700 meters. This place is better because the air is extremely humid and fresh. It is beyond any location on this trip. It is an excellent walking viewing route. In such an environment, ld also excitedly practiced trotting.

At about 6 pm, An Qingju and Yunluo arrived in Queenston town. Here I would like to remind you that before Queenston, you will climb over the last mountain. The mountain road here is more steep than the front. Not only are there many curves and slopes, but the car is driving against the cliffs on the outside. What you see in the light is the deep valley. The large area of ​​exposed rocks is the consequence of the mining industry that year, and the thin guardrails make people feel a little nervous. Therefore, please concentrate and drive safely here.

Queenstown is located in western Tasmania with a population of about 2,400 people. The mining industry remains the main business of the town. However, due to the huge damage caused by the mining industry to the environment, the ** has begun to restrict the mining industry and gradually develop the tourism economy.

When we arrived in the town, we quickly found the Imperial Hotel: This hotel has been open since 1901 and is also considered a historical building. When we check-in, there was a problem at this time. At the beginning, there was no one, so the chef sat in the reception. The chef enthusiastically told An Qingju and Yunluo that he would go to the bar to find someone after 6 o'clock, and the bar staff would serve. After finding mm, she waited for a while before finishing her work. She flipped through the reservation form on the table for a long time, and finally said, "

There may be some minor problems, so I can only give you a suite and a standard room without a bathroom." This is not good. An Qingju and Yunluo booked two suites at that time just to have a bathroom. After negotiating with mm, it seemed that she could do nothing. mm said that it would not work. You can take a look at other hotels first. Yunluo can get a full refund. So An Qingju and Yunluo drove around the town again. There was a hotel on the hillside on the other street. It was not bad. It was big and new, and the old man was also very nice, 94 yuan per room.

Since the two of you didn't go check-in together when they were in the Empire just now, they had to take a look at the room of the Empire before refunding the money. The door of this room looked really choked, and it was OK, but the things were all older. There were four beds in the room. The ld immediately decided: not to change it, four people live in one room, and to return the remaining one. So they went downstairs, and the mm just now disappeared, and explained the whole story to the other mm. They asked to return a room. The other room was four people, but there was no additional money (you know, the price of An Qingju and Yunluo booked for two people, and it would be 15 dollars to stay for one person). The mm is worthy of being a child of the Western Conference, and it was "no problem" and it was enjoyable. So, I got a top spot in this hotel, the cheapest hotel, 75 dollars/4 people. (This place is probably because of the rich iron ore, and the water is all rust colored)

After the accommodation was settled, I bought some things in the supermarket. During this period, I met a family member from Suzhou who drove a RV around the tower. This was also the first group of Chinese tourists An Qingju and Yunluo met after they arrived in Australia. Everyone greeted each other. Dinner was resolved in the hotel. Unexpectedly, there were so many people in the restaurant. The bar seemed to be full of locals who came here to have a drink. When they sat down in the restaurant, the waiter was busy. The uncle at the table next to him handed over the menu friendly, and this was just the enthusiastic beginning of the people in the west.

The waiter here is enthusiastic and diligent, and she is the only one who takes care of the whole restaurant, without any impatient. ld looked at the plate inadvertently, but she immediately changed one, but there was nothing. When she went to the bar to order the dishes, the elder sister was very enthusiastic and patiently answered the questions of An Qingju and Yunluo. An Qingju and Yunluo ordered a pie of local beer and asked her if she could give An Qingju and Yunluo three empty cups. Unexpectedly, after a while, she actually divided the beer for An Qingju and Yunluo and brought it directly to the table. Looking at these glasses of beer, Yunluo wondered if she had given more An Qingju and Yunluo, haha!

I waited for the dishes for a long time today. An Qingju and Yunluo were the last ones to serve, but I didn’t feel any impatient. The chef walked out for a while and smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the next one is your dish.” Sure enough, An Qingju and Yunluo’s dishes were served one after another. The steak here was delicious, the pasta was also good, and they were all recommended. While An Qingju and Yunluo were having dinner, the young waitress started to set up tomorrow’s tableware again, and was still full of work enthusiasm, which was admirable. A simple meal allowed An Qingju and Yunluo to see the enthusiastic and simple folk customs here, and they could not forget each other for a long time.

I was woken up by the train whistle in the morning. When I opened the window, I found that An Qingju and Yunluo's hotel was next to the famous West Coast Wilderness Railway station. But it was only around 8 o'clock now, and it was not time to leave. I wonder if the people in the town took it to work?

The West Coast Wilderness Railway is Queenston's most famous and expensive tourism project. To borrow a brief introduction from a poor travel netizen Mad Daysta: "It started operating in 1896, connecting Queenstown and the seaside town of West Coast Strahan. The railway was built to transport ore mined in Queenstown to the seaside and then shipped to various places by ship. For various reasons, the railway stopped operating in 1963 and was not used as a tourist train until in recent years. It has regained its former style."

I packed up and walked to the train station. Some netizens once recommended this route in their posts, but the itinerary was compact. Take two photos as a souvenir.

Today's journey is about 260 kilometers, leaving the town of Queenston in light rain. Follow the A10 road and turn to B28 shortly after. The sky begins to clear up, and the street sign points to a lake lake pumsol lake, and park for a nap.

Later on the road, there were several similar alpine lakes, and An Qingju and Yunluo did not stop. One hour later, An Qingju and Yunluo drove back to the A10 Highway and came to the first town of Tara Tullah today. This town is located in the lakebery by the lake in Rosébery, quiet and beautiful. After cheering here, continue to set out.

At about 10:30, An Qingju and Yunluo drove along the road sign to C132. There was a lookout on the road. You had to climb a small hill and you could see the tour group here.

At 11 o'clock, An Qingju and Yunluo finally arrived at the entrance of today's highlight - Cradle Mountain National Park. To borrow a brief introduction from a poor travel netizen Mad Rista: "In 1827, British explorer Joesphfos discovered such a beautiful mountain in the central and western part of Tasmania. Its mountain shape is very beautiful, like an English cradle, so he named the mountain Cradle Mountain. Now, the national park composed of Cradle Mountain and Lake St. Clair is nearly 1,262 square kilometers. The national park retains priceless ecology, so it is ranked as a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. This national park is a

A huge ecological treasure house. The park is full of spectacular mountains and waterfalls, sharp cliffs, deep lakes, pristine wetlands, and almost unspoiled wildlife habitats. There are Mtossa, the highest peak of Tasman Island (1,617 meters above sea level) and Lakeclair, Australia's deepest lake (200 meters deep), so it is not an exaggeration to say that Cradle Mountain National Park is the heart of Tasman Island. This is the most famous scenic spot in Tasmania and an absolute landmark. It can be said that if you haven't visited Cradle Mountain, your trip to Tasmania is definitely incomplete, just like if you go to Sydney without enjoying the Opera House."

After making a simple comparison, An Qingju and Yunluo purchased the Tasmanian National Park pass: based on the train, the maximum coverage is 8 people, and the validity period is 2 months. You can visit more than a dozen national parks. Although such tickets are far more than the needs of An Qingju and Yunluo, there is no better choice. Four people have a total of 60 dollars, which saves more than a dozen dollars than buying tickets separately. After purchasing such tickets, you can drive into the park. It happens that there are more cars today, and the park will not allow other vehicles to enter the mountain for the time being, so you choose to take the minibus in the park to start the tour. The minibus has a total of 10 stops, 5 stops each. An Qingju and Yunluo decided to take the bus to the farthest Dafu Lake dovelake to start the tour.

Dafu Lake is located near the main peak of Cradle Mountain. Here, hiking around the lake is a very poignant route, which allows you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Cradle Mountain from different angles. However, it takes at least two hours a week to surround the lake. An Qingju and Yunluo, based on the principle of comfort first, began to tour along the path on the left. After walking about 1/4, An Qingju and Yunluo were on a pebble beach near the water and took out a picnic mat. However, today's lunch was really simple, with only the leftover bread and two tomatoes for breakfast, because An Qingju and Yunluo did not find a restaurant here. After lunch, lying on the picnic mat to take a nap. The white clouds in the sky floated by from time to time, which was really a complete relaxation of body and mind.

After resting here, An Qingju and Yunluo stopped moving forward. They followed the same route back to the station and took the bus to the next stop to continue hiking. This hiking route traveled between meadows, forests and rivers along the wooden plank road, and some special discoveries further aroused An Qingju and Yunluo's interest and imagination. There were countless animal feces on the grass on both sides, and more than one animal could be seen.

Soon, a lot of animal feces appeared on the plank road, which made An Qingju and Yunluo open their eyes and "swivel" around. The wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Most of the animals here are active at night, and the probability of seeing them during the day is minimal. But closing your eyes and imagining that this place becomes a paradise for animals at night is still very exciting. If you really want to appreciate the rich wildlife resources here, you might as well stay in the park overnight. Not only can you participate in the "Tasmanian Devil" discovery journey in the park, but you may also have surprises waiting for you when you open the door of the wooden house.

The hike ended in Snakehill. I took the minibus back to the departure point. At around 3 o'clock, An Qingju and Yunluo began to head towards Alfstone. I walked north along the C132 highway and arrived near the northern coast through the two towns of OT and Forth. The scenery along the way changed between the wastelands, woods and pastures. Soon after, An Qingju and Yunluo came to Alfstone.

The town is not big, and An Qingju and Yunluo easily found their residence today, Winterbrookb&b. This B&b was found on Google at that time by Yunluo, and the mainstream tourists are staying in the nearby town of Penguin. Whether this choice is correct or not can be solved today.

The car drove into the yard. The gravel road was a little narrow and parked at the fountain at the door. The male owner Tony was busy at the yard at this time. When he saw An Qingju and Yun Luo coming up to say hello enthusiastically. After learning that An Qingju and Yun Luo were guests tonight, he greeted the hostess to greet him. The general idea was: "Old woman, come to the guest!"
