Early in the morning, An Qingju and Yunluo set off from the hotel, headed west along the beautiful Binhai Avenue, and arrived at the citizen notice pavilion at the end of the avenue, and made an appointment with Robert of Batshui Tour (Baqi Tour) to meet there. He would take An Qingju and Yunluo on this "Indigenous Cultural Walking Tour".

An Qingju and Yunluo's Aboriginal Cultural Traditional Tour began with the stance of robert fans, the traditional owner of larrakia. Not only did Robert run the company, he was also an authentic Australian Aboriginal, whose parents and grandparents have lived in the vast land of Darwin, the northern Northern Territory.

Robert has barefoot, big beard, hair is relatively messy, and his skin is as dark as the natives Yunluo had seen. He speaks well in English and speaks very imposingly. Robert tells An Qingju and Yunluo in the Darwin region that Baqi (bat-stimulating) means "good" and "hello".

Robert walked very quickly, and An Qingju and Yunluo almost had to trot to keep up with him, probably because of nature. He talked endlessly about the history of the indigenous people in Australia. After the land of the Aboriginal people was discovered by white people more than 200 years ago, they were forced to start a tragic life of exile and were forced to gradually migrate from the east coast to the central region.

That is, most parts of the Northern Territory now. From the speech, An Qingju and Yunluo heard that his descendants of the indigenous people were dissatisfied with the policy of Baiao by the Australian government at that time. He kept saying "thisourland (thisland is the land of An Qingju and Yunluo)". The meaning of it is self-evident.

Robert would occasionally stop and tell An Qingju and Yunluo that the leaves on the tree can be used for consumption; the bark can be used as medicine for the natives; the trunk is used as a tool for hunting. All the plants in nature are treasures and are closely related to the daily lives of the natives.

The green ants were busy, Robert told An Qingju and Yunluo. These green ants were also native foods. As he said that, he grabbed an ant and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, looking very satisfied.

In fact, in the Darwin region, there are many indigenous people from different tribes living on this land for tens of thousands of years. They are connected to the spirit of this land.

Language, etiquette, blood relationship, and care for this land are all manifestations of cultural responsibility and have been passed down from the Creation Age to the present.

They believe that in the era of creation, their ancestors wandered on this land and created the landforms, plants, animals and descendants here, just as An Qingju and Yunluo saw today. This land is closely connected with the people living here.

Generally speaking, if you want to take pictures of Aboriginal people, they will ask you for money. Yun Luo spent 20 Australian dollars before he was agreed to take pictures of them and their paintings. His vicissitudes of hand were meticulously planted on the canvas, drawing them magical stories that had been circulated tens of thousands of years ago.

Australian Aboriginal paintings, circles represent water, arrows represent kangaroos, U-shaped shapes represent men and hunting supplies next to them; curved sides represent mountains; all points represent land, because land is the entire Aboriginal people who have lived in the Northern Territory for tens of thousands of years.

While walking, Robert asked An Qingju and Yunluo to see these Darwin's main buildings and locations. Later, An Qingju and Yunluo also visited several Darwinian Aboriginal Art Gallery, which contained exhibitions of sculptures, knitted fabrics, prints and paintings; at the same time, the works of many modern artists are also among the exhibitions.

As mentioned earlier, the north of the Northern Territory is famous for saltwater crocodile, so the Crocodile Bay in Darwin also attracts a large number of tourists every day. After finishing Robert's Aboriginal Cultural and Art Walking Tour, An Qingju and Yunluo went to this Crocosau Scove.

In Crocodile Bay, you can also see the world's largest Australian reptile exhibition, a two-story freshwater aquarium, a turtle area, and a local Aboriginal arts and culture exhibition in the Northern Territory.

For those who pursue excitement, the "Cage of Death" is a perfect experience - at most two people experience it at the same time. The characteristic acrylic cage slowly drops from the suspended monorail and is placed like four crocodile covers, allowing you to "closely" dive to encounter a large number of saltwater crocodiles in Crocodile Bay.

Unlike other boring and rigid museums, in the Crocodile Museum in Crocodile Bay. You can interact with the Crocodile, tourists can take photos with the little crocodile named Miss Sweetheart, and Yu'er also took a photo. Oh my God, Yun Luo actually hugged the Crocodile.

This is the cruise ship anchored in Darwin Harbor. There are 10 people on a boat. After guests get on board one after another, the indigenous rulers warmly welcome An Qingju and Yunluo. In less than half an hour, An Qingju and Yunluo arrived on a small island.

This thing can be weaved and becomes very strong and similar to rattan things. The indigenous people use these to weave the daily necessities they need, such as baskets, containers, etc. for food.

The natural ecology of Darwin's area is well protected. At the same time, Darwin is also the supply and shipping center in northern Australia. During World War II, it was a military base and was the only city in Australia baptized by World War II. In 1942, it was violently bombed by Japan, and was later rebuilt on a large scale and upgraded to a city in 1959.

After the 1990s, because the Northern Territory was a remote area, the Australian government invested huge expenses in "knowledge economy construction" in order to improve the operating performance of local industrial, commercial and government departments, which brought the economic model of the Northern Territory into a new stage. Darwin is currently one of the most modern cities in Australia.

Darwin is known as the "capital of Australia's multiculturalism". Because it is closest to Asia, it is an important export port, mainly exporting live livestock (cattle, sheep) and minerals. Darwin is also an important military base in Australia and a base for patrol boats on the northern coast.

In the northern part of the Australian Northern Territory, in addition to Kakadu National Park, there is also a Lichfield National Park famous for its waterfalls. At 7 a.m., the same Viptou, An Qingju and Yunluo along Darwin Forget South. The picture below is a small miniature map. You can see the specific locations of Darwin, Lichfield National Park and Kakadu National Park.

On the way from Darwin to Litchfield National Park, you will always encounter such interesting small shops. They are usually run by simple locals; they usually sell fast foods such as coffee, drinks, sandwiches, hot dogs, and other fast foods for guests to take away or small.

Outside there will be introduction information about nearby attractions for tourists to read at will. The store even drew a route map to litchfieldnationalpark at the door.

This is also a scene outside the shop that makes people laugh. Yun Luo thought it was a man standing upside down at first glance, and he was really shocked. Haha, after looking closely, he realized that it was the owner's humor.

After less than 2 hours' drive, I arrived at Lizhifute National Park. The park does not charge for admission. This is the trail made of wooden boards when entering. When An Qingju and Yunluo were guessing what the strange troughs on both sides were, An Qingju and Yunluo's tour guide came to solve the answer.

These high and low piers are called: magnetic termite piers (magicter tues). Termites in the Northern Territory build mounds. Each mound is a termite city, which is the home of millions of termites. In hot places, there are passages and vents in the piers. A mound can usually live for 50 years. The thick walls make it difficult for ant eaters and other enemies to invade.

About 17 kilometers from the eastern border of the park is the first major magnetic termite piers. These termite piers are simply amazing architectural wonders, with arches, tunnels, chimneys, compartments and nursery rooms, and are well-structured.

They are arranged from north to south to minimize the exposure to the sun. Termite piers are everywhere in Litchfield Park, forming almost a large natural landscape of the park.

The pioneering and pastoral history here are rich, and many places are powerful witnesses of the difficult environment of the pioneers, such as the ruins of the blythhomestead, built in 1929 and abandoned in the 1960s.

The church termite piles are probably the most spectacular of various termite piles, some of which are even more than 6 meters in height and can be seen everywhere next to the park roads.

The appearance of the church termite pile is reminiscent of the appearance characteristics of the medieval church: the decorative beams and columns of columns and grooved arch walls of columns, which is quite vivid.

The sky in the Northern Territory is always so blue. The tropical plants seem to be a little unpopular, some look up at the blue sky proudly, and some hang down wiltly.

On both sides of the trail, you can enjoy the lovely Australian residents. The little rock kangaroos don't seem to be afraid of people. They always appreciate the beautiful fur on their own.

Florencefalls are one of the most worth seeing waterfalls in Australia. The white waterfalls go down the cliffs, and the clear springs form a natural stream lake. The mist is filled with coolness.

You can swim in the crystal clear water to restore vitality in your body, or you can stay by the cave by the lake to experience the charm of nature.

Then follow the picturesque trail to a viewing platform above the waterfall, and enjoy the panoramic views of the waterfall, valley and pool.

The wangifalls, which are proud of Litchfield National Park: under the transparent sky, the mist is hazy with ancient rocks; the flying sounds, and the falling waves rush into the deep pool.

After a few hours of visit to Lisfield Park, An Qingju and Yunluo returned to the hotel to rest and prepare for the evening night voyage to Darwin Harbor.

Depart from the strokeshillwharf, take a 30-meter cruise on the "alfrednobel" to cruise the Darwin Harbor at night.

While enjoying the scenery, you can also enjoy a full table of delicacies, including main courses, fresh seafood, various barbecue meats, barracumin perch fillets, pastoral salads, bread and unique condiments in the Northern Territory. The Sunset Night Cruise includes a 4-course dinner, from 5:45pm to 8:30pm, and Australian dollars per adult.

Many locals will move the wedding ceremony to this cruise ship, which is romantic and unique.

In Australia, many cities have weekend markets, such as the St. Kilda Beach Sunday Market in Melbourne, the Arts Centre Weekend Market; the Bondi Beach Sunday Market in Sydney, and the Salamanca Weekend Market in Hobart, are all famous for providing local crafts and food.

And these are exactly what Yunluo likes, because in those markets, you can smell different smells, those unique smells that may only be smelled by locals.

In such a market, you can buy delicious tropical fruit mix juices just squeezed from a whining mixer.

You can see a group of women smiling and talking in Thai at a stall, holding curry cakes in their hands, and once guests come, they will ask in authentic Australian English with nasal voice: Is the Thai rice noodles you want "warm, hot or hot"?

Yunluo likes this relaxed and simple lifestyle, and people spend most of their social time outdoors. The sun and blue sky always seem to make people smile. "Mellissakavenagh, Darwin residents. Indeed, every Darwinian holiday is not lonely. They are gathered together, either with three or five friends, or family and relatives, not hiking in the suburbs.

It is to go to the weekend market to buy some favorite goods and have a pleasant lunch, or find a secluded place to roast Australian-style bbq, or simply sit in the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool air, and you can do nothing, enjoy the tranquility and beauty brought by life.

This day was on the last morning in Darwin, and An Qingju and Yunluo visited the parapmarkets. The paro market consists of many stalls, including arts and crafts, various fruits and vegetables, and is a favorite place for locals to visit. Southeast Asian soups and satay barbecue, fresh juices and ice cubes are very popular. The paro market is open every Saturday morning.
