Rottnest Island

May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Welcome to Perth Western Australia! Rottnest Island is a must see for almost all free travellers. The transparent and clean water quality, abundant water activities, beautiful scenery, and the happiest in the world Baby kangaroos, such as the “quokka”, are all reasons that make this Australian island famous. Today I want to share my experience about the super star, ferry transportation to Rottnest Island and transportation on the island, itinerary arrangements, and travel notes to attractions, regardless of whether you plan to take a day trip, a two-day trip, or even many days trip. I do recommended for 2 days trip as the island is quite big so one day is not enough if you want to explore all distinct in the Island but it is your choice.

Although Rottnest Island is not very big and it has 63 beaches. It can be said that there are beautiful scenery everywhere around the island where is pretty good.

First of all, Rottnest Island is an island on the west coast of Australia which located just 18 kilometers from the West of Fremantle. Rottnest Island is a very popular holiday destination, with ferries between Perth and Rottnest Island. The resident population of Rottnest Island is only about 100 people, but about 500,000 tourists visit Rottnest Island every year. Because their ecology on the island has not been destroyed, short-tailed kangaroos have their own nests; occasional tourists also always feed them, and they never need to worry about clothing, food, housing, transportation and so on.

Around the dining area, northeast and southeast are places to stay. Although there are not many places to stay on Rottnest Island, there are many options for youth hostels, restaurants, camping, etc…

Quokka – Super Star

The great star of Rottnest Island, Quokka, the happiest animal in the world. You will see them around the Island. There is none specific place to see Quokka. Quokka always hide somewhere near the tree. They usually come out around 2pm but this is depend on the temperature too.

The first to discover Rottnest Island was the Dutch. When they landed, they found that the island was full of Quokka. They mistakenly recognized Quokka as a big rat (Rotte), so they called it Rotte nest (Dutch in squirrel nest), and then slowly evolved into Rottnest.

Quokka short-tailed dwarf kangaroo, the only kind of kangaroo in the genus Dwarf kangaroo, it is a small kangaroo that is about the size of a domestic cat. Short-tailed kangaroos, like other marsupial mammals, are herbivores and often move at night, with small families as the activity unit. A Quokka weighs about 2.5 to 5 kilograms, a fat and cheeky face, and a cute face that always looks like a smile, so it has the title “the happiest animal on earth”

Quokka only eats plants, do not feed Quokka, he will get sick! Once found it is a fine of $150! Quokkas can only digest plants, other types of food can result in illness. Anyone who deliberately interferes (including feeding) wildlife will be fined $150. Due to the very limited distribution of Quokka (mainly on Rottnest Island and a small island in Albany), it is included in the vulnerable species. In the mainland Australia, they are threatened by hunters such as foxes, so dense surface vegetation is needed for shelter. Large-scale felling of trees and agricultural development have led to a reduction in their habitat, which has led to a decline in the number of this species. In addition, Quokka usually gives birth to a baby, and successfully raises a baby kangaroo every year. The small number of litters in one litter, combined with the limited range of activity and the threat of hunters, make this little kangaroo very rare in mainland Australia.

How to get to Rottnest Island

There is 2 options for you to catch transportation to get to the island. They are ferry and private jet. I will definately recommended you to catch ferry instead of catching the jet. As a tourist and student, it is good to experience both such as catch the ferry to the Rottnest Island and then catch jet return back to Perth. Both are good to try but if you are local or residents, it is good to do Ferry as the jet is very costly.

This is the get on and off point in the Rottnest Island. It is a very beautiful departure point. After arriving at Rottnest Island, there is a tourist service center next to the port. You can get a lot of travel information, buy souvenirs, and even check-in accommodation. It is very convenient. There are also storage boxes there, prices AUD 6-8 per day, depending on size.
***Around the passenger service center, there are various restaurants and supermarkets, all within walking distance, bread, pizza, seafood, brunch etc. The entire dining environment is very leisurely.***

By the way, It is mainly reached by ferry and there are currently three main shipping companies, each departing from different ports. Regarding to the three shipping companies, it is the cheapest to take the ferry departing from “Fremantle” by “Rottnest Express” and “SeaLink Rottnest Island” on weekdays. Round-trip tickets on the same day are slightly cheaper.

In addition, “Rottnest Express” has the largest number of sailings and it is the only shipping company that departs from “Perth City” and “Fremantle” but of course depart from Fremantle is closer to the island which will take 25 minutes to get there. If you catch the Rottnest Express from Perth City, it will take 90 minutes to reach your destination. If you want to depart from “Hillary” in the North District of WA, only “Rottnest Fast Ferries” have a ferry and this will take about 45 minutes to reach the island.

The “Fremantle” port is a little special which divided into “Northport” and “B Shed” ports, but almost all are mainly “B-Shed”, which can be reached by walk from the Fremantle Train Station while catching train from Perth Train Station.

Ferry cost:

Perth city – Rottnest Island (Rottnest Express) = $103

Fremantle – Rottnest Island (Rottnest Express) = $64

Fremantle – Rottnest Island (Sealink Rottnest Island) = $64

Hillary – Rottnest Island (Rottnest Fast Ferries) = $86.5

Please note that these fares is weekdays fare, weekend ticket would be different price but it is not a big different. Adult tickets fare listed above. Kids price are almost half price with adult fares. These are with return tickets. It is up to you whether you wanted to add-on for hire a bicycles or snorkel equipment rental. There is a package option which is cheaper than buy everything separately.

Catch a private jet from Rottnest airport to Perth will be take around 20 minutes to arrive Perth. Mainly reason of taking the jet from the Island to return back to Perth is just want to explore around the beautiful and nice view island from the sky. The jet only fly when there is minimum of 2 people per jet. It is very costly and not worth it but very good experience. It has been many years ago so I can’t remember how much i have been paid for this jet but i remember it is approximately $250 per person. However, there is a combo fare for both ferry and flight which mean one way ferry and one way flight for you to experience.

Public Transportation throughout the Island

There is a number of transportation you could have options to choose. As for the transportation on the island, Rottnest Island cannot drive, so it is not possible to “rent a car” and so on. There are three main modes of transportation on the island, namely “bicycle”, “bus” and “train”. But some people prefer to walk to explore the island to save some money. Yes, walk is good but walking is very tiring throughout the island as island is quite big and you won’t be able to manage to walk the whole island.

Bicycle – Most of the tourists prefer to use bicycles to move around the island or even around the island, which is why the three major shipping companies provide bicycle reservation services. There is also the only bicycle rental shop on the island, called “Rottnest Island Pedal & Flipper”, which is just next to the port within the walking distance. But in my personal opinion, buses is better than bicycles. Why do i said that? It is reasonable as riding a bike is pretty slow so you won’t be able to see everything in the Island. Bus is worth than bike because bus ticket is $20 per person per day which you can have enough time to explore everything in the Island. But if bike, it is cost $30 per person daily fare basis. And bike only can explore some part of island.

Bus and Train

***There is two buses in the island. They are island explorer buses and settlements shuttle buses. I do recommended for island explorer buses.***

Island explorer bus is the best options because this will take you to all attractions in the Island but this will be your choices whether you want to get off or not. It is hop on and off basis. The bus is running every 5 minutes which is perfect. Rottnest Island has totally 19 explorer bus stop.

For the trains, i never try with train in the island but i will share some details of it. There are 64 locations on the scenic train, which will only reach the World War II memorial site in Oliver Hill. You can see the underground tunnels, gun wreckage, etc….but it may take a long time and the frequency of the trips may be difficult to arrange. It cost $11 per person for one way. If it is not at least on the island for 2 days, it is not recommended to experience.

Attractions in the Rottnest Island

There is 63 stunning beaches on the coast, 20 beautiful bays and many coral reefs and shipwrecks invite you to enjoy some of Australia’s best swimming spots, snorkeling trails and surfing spots. On the dry ground, you will encounter cute mini marsupials, world-famous short-tailed kangaroos (Quokka), and many unique animal and plant species that can only be seen in Western Australia.

Of course, it is necessary to introduce the attractions on the island. Most people will play around the island so i am sharing all part of the Island. Basically the Rottnest Island is divided into 5 districts, namely East, South, West, North, and Central with different gameplay and features, so that everyone can quickly understand the attractions in each area. Let’s go for Awesome adventures 🤔

EAST Districts – “Thomson Bay” on the east side of Rottnest Island is the port and the most lively area on the island. Visitor services centers, various restaurants, supermarkets, restaurants and hotels are all concentrated here, making it the most convenient for dining and shopping.

In Thomson Bay, you can find more family fun, such as golf, tennis, shopping and guided tours, as well as cafes, restaurants and takeaway options.

The land and sea travel itinerary will provide an unforgettable experience, from the contact experience of wild animals such as short-tailed kangaroos, seals, osprey and whales, to historical and cultural tours, vividly reproduce the colorful ocean of Rottnest Criminals, colonies and World War II heritage.

This is one of the beach in the East Districts. If you are intend to swim at the beach in Rotto, i do recommended this water activities shown in the photo. This game is really fun and it cost me $10 to play this.

***This is the scenery you will see along the Southern District, such as Henrietta Rocks, Porpoise Bay, etc., really feel the beauty is exaggerated!***

SOUTH Districts – The southern area of Rottnest Island is mainly a place for beaches, snorkeling, and diving. It is a place where you can enjoy the beauty and water. It is a dive site recommended by many Australians. It’s a Little Salmon Bay. It’s okay to spend an afternoon here leisurely!

Henrietta Rocks is a very beautiful attraction in the island and it is very interesting due to the Shark Wreck that is visible and very close to shore. There were a few snorkellers there checking it out on the day where I visited, and if I have been better planned, I would have walked out to see it as well. It’s very close to shore which is pretty convenient.

**I’m just inlove with this beautiful view and scenery. It is a very relaxing spot.**

**This Henrietta Rocks is very beautiful. Many tourist ride a bike to get there for beaching and swimming**.

**This is the Parker Point. It is a very good place for Scuba diving.** **Parker Point is one of the most popular bays on the Southern Rottnest and one of the most breathtaking, featuring a white sandy beach, fringing coral and rocky reef.**

In general, parker point is located between South and East of the Rottnest Island. It is one of the best Attractions in the Island. The most popular activities in the Parker Point are included Scuba Diving, Snorkelling and Swimming.

***I feel very relaxing while explore the Parker Point. It is good fresh air for breathe in and out.***

In fact, there are some attractions on the south side of Rottnest Island, such as Green Island, Oliver Hill, and Wadjemup Lighthouse. The route is a little simpler than the north side, but If you want to go to Oliver Hill or Wadjemup Lighthouse, there are many uphills. These two are Rottnest, The highest point of the island, Oliver Hill is the highest point on the island.

The well-positioned Oliver Hill was a defensive place during World War II. There is an oversized battery (Oliver Hill Battery, 9.2-inch cannon) defending the coast of Perth. If you ride a bicycle, you can only park in the parking lot below and walk for about 15 minutes. Anyway, you don’t want to ride up. It’s really steep, lazy people can actually take a small train (Captain Hussey train), the scenery is not bad! As for the Wadjemup Lighthouse, many people really feel that they don’t need to go there. Many of them just ride there and ride back. I don’t know what are people doing.

After leaving Oliver Hill, I wanted to go to Little Salmon Bay, but time may not be enough. Fortunately, I returned to the ferry at about 16:00 and successfully ended the day trip to Rottnest Island.

Continue to move down and pass the Salmon Bay, Green Island, Mary Cove and other places. I can only say that the scenery on Rottnest Island is too satisfying!

WEST Districts – Compared with other areas in the West of Rottnest Island, there are fewer places suitable for snorkeling and water playing. The biggest feature at West Districts is whale watching, dolphin watching, and the terrain is slightly different. Rocky terrain that you can see are totally different scenery.

The total length of the island is about 22 kilometers, which sounds good, but it still takes a lot of time and energy to come to the Western District. There are many ups and downs along the way, but it is worthwhile to see these beautiful scenery! Every year from the end of August to November, it is the time for 35,000 whales to move from the Antarctic Circle to Rottnest Island. At this time, it is very easy to see whales appearing in addition to the West End. There are many bays that are also very beautiful and there are many small ferries. This kind of life is really comfortable and enjoyable.

NORTH Districts – Rottnest Island’s northern and southern areas are very similar in the gameplay. They mainly experience snorkeling, diving, fishing and other water itineraries. There are their lovers on both sides. In short, if you want to relax on the beach and enjoy the island. The clean water quality of South and North are very highly recommended places! The most popular in the Island is the Lighthouse. There are 2 lighthouses in the Rottnest Island. One is located in the Southern of Island and another one is located at the North sides. The North District Bathurst Lighthouse and the surrounding seascapes are the best and this island is really beautiful! How to move along the northern coastline, you can pass through Longreach Bay, George Bay, Little Armstrong Bay and other attractions, almost all are safe waters where you can play water. Whichever you like, you are ready to go to the water anytime!

This is my late lunch in the Northen of the Island. I am a fish and chips lover and i ordered strawberry milkshake at the same time. How to get to this restaurant? Well, i cannot remember this restaurant name but you can catch the Island explorer bus to get off at the last stop which is bus stop number 19. The best restaurant i ever have. This fish and chips dishes is very delicious and the fish was very crispy. I love it.

When i visit rottnest, i was very hurry to catch the bus to explore around the island so I do highly recommended you to have your lunch before you go for the explorer bus. Otherwise will be like me very hungry at the end 😂

CENTRAL Districts – The main area of Rottnest Island is the three main attractions, namely World War II Memorial (Sightseeing Train Terminal), Pink Lake and Wadjemup Lighthouse. Among them, the lighthouse is the least recommended spot on the island. In addition to all the way uphill, the scenery is also more ordinary, if time is not enough, you can give up first.

Here we go Pink Lake 😍

**Do you ever heard of pink lake?** Western Australia itself has a very famous pink lake and Rottnest Island has its own small pink lake. The attractions of this island are really many yuan, which is why it is highly recommended for free travel.

Pink Lake is also called a Salt Lake. You should try to touch the pink lake water. When i was touching the pink lake water, the water is very sticky with weird smell and it’s kinda weird but i find that was very interesting.

Skydive at the Island – Leap from Height

Are you a skydive lover? Play skydiving on the turquoise beach of Rottnest Island and get a panoramic view of the magnificent coast of Western Australia. While enjoying the exciting thrill of blood, while enjoying a bird’s eye view of the stunning scenery on the island from an unparalleled perspective. After landing on the ground, you can even savor a free drink to celebrate your accomplishment in a lifetime. Skydive Geronimo’s team of skydiving instructors is professionally trained and experienced. After ensuring you feel comfortable and safe, you will be challenged to the unique island skydiving experience throughout Western Australia. Skydiving is very costly but it is worth to try once in awhile. Their cost is depend on how many ft you choose for skydive.

The end of my story

My story is just all about an introduction to the Quokkas, transportation, accommodation, attractions, and itineraries of Rottnest Island. I believe that everyone can understand this island better and it will be more helpful for the itinerary. “Segway” and other projects can also create their own classic gameplay!

阿拉倫植物園 (Araluen Botanic Park)

May 23, 2020May 23, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

由於 COVID-19 這個病毒而造成的旅行限制是可以理解的。您仍然可以開始為將來的旅行計劃做計劃。您打算將來訪問澳大利亞嗎？還是您想從澳大利亞某個地方去珀斯旅遊？我正在分享最佳景點之一和美麗的花園，您會很喜歡它，它的名字叫阿拉倫植物園

首先，阿拉倫植物園可以是花園或公園。沒什麼大不同哒。

阿拉倫植物園概述

阿拉倫植物園（Araluen Botanic Park）是一個非凡的花園，坐落在令人嘆為觀止的美麗灌木叢中。漫步在遍布巨大石柱和蔭涼涼棚涼棚的露台上的石頭小徑上。查看位於每個花園區的大約 1930 年的小木屋，並在指示牌上了解珀斯的遺產和歷史。該開發花園位於澳大利亞本土灌木叢內 59 公頃內，佔地 14 公頃，分佈於各個地區。每個區都有各種外來植物物種，它們在勞力士珀斯山丘陵涼爽的微氣候中繁盛。作為每年春季舉行的年度鬱金香節而聞名，在那裡，超過 100,000 個鬱金香鱗莖為成千上萬的遊客聚集了最壯觀的表演，他們蜂擁一瞥，並在彩色背景下捕捉 “最佳” 自拍照。

關於阿拉倫的一些令人興奮但鮮為人知的事實是，公園擁有令人難以置信的令人印象深刻的國際認可的茶花收藏。西澳大利亞州最大的玫瑰收藏品，包含大約 1800 年代的原始遺產玫瑰品種。最好在春末至夏末觀看。當我們進入秋天的幾個月時，茶玫瑰和許多其他瑰麗的花朵盛開，這是享受茶玫瑰種類繁多的最佳時機。斯汀頓溪（Stinton Creek）一年四季都在公園內流動，北至南流，最後流入坎寧大壩。這是參觀阿拉魯恩植物園的真正特徵，並且從各種步行橋上可以找到許多攝影機會。

總體而言，公園在桉樹，馬里和黑樹的起伏波動的自然背景中繁茂，在花開的花叢中藏有山龍眼，草木和人蕨，這是一種感官體驗。

阿拉倫(Araluen）開花什麼？
公園和花園 (植物區系)

在天堂般的花園中，有外來物種和本土物種，所有這些物種都是在歷史悠久的公園裡種植和耕種的，土壤豐富肥沃，雨水充沛。宏偉而具文化底蘊的露台花園，木材和石頭結構，水景和古木造就了這個公園。鬱金香和其他美麗的花朵在溫泉季節盛開，是攝影，觀鳥和家庭聚會的最佳場所。

阿拉倫（Araluen）是享譽國際的花園，其中包括茶花和玫瑰等特定物種。 2012年，國際茶花協會（ICS）在其 “茶花卓越花園” 計劃下認可了阿拉倫。同樣，阿拉倫（Araluen）的《茶玫瑰》（Tea Roses）也受到備受推崇的美國《羅莎·蒙迪（Rosa Mundi）》雜誌的好評。 2008 年春夏版本將阿拉倫稱為“……世界上最好的茶玫瑰收藏之一……”

自 1990 年以來，阿拉倫植物園基金會（Araluen Botanic Park Foundation）一直照料樹木，清除了入侵性物種，例如黑色和銀色的荊棘，紫藤，並不斷根除和控制黑莓，新娘和澳大利亞的蔓草。

阿拉倫繼續每年種植涼爽的氣候樹木和植物，以擴大不尋常樹木的多樣性，供遊客體驗。

阿拉倫的秋天榮耀

阿拉倫植物園的秋色是公園的另一個重要景點。在公園的庇護環境中，可以種植許多落葉樹和灌木，這些灌木和灌木會在涼爽的氣候下產生典型的花園秋色。

落葉喬木和灌木通過在秋天脫落葉子（稱為 “脫落”）來保護自己免受寒冷侵害。在秋天開始的三月和四月，黑暗的長度增加後，這些植物便開始從葉中撤出所有對未來生長必不可少的營養素，糖和其他植物化學物質。它們被保存並存儲在植物的根部和木質部分中，以在春季使用，因為這些植物中的許多在開花後才開花。並非所有的顏料都可以從葉片結構中抽出，剩餘的顏料可能會使某些葉片在最終掉落之前顯示出鮮豔的色彩。並非所有的落葉樹都具有這些顏色。有些只是掉下來之前變成棕色。其他人可能會變成紅色，紫色以及許多黃色，金色和橙色陰影。

您可能還會注意到某些玫瑰花上有彩色的臀部，儘管只有少數玫瑰花會在葉子上產生秋天的顏色。

樹木什麼時候變色呢？遺傳學在葉片落下的時機和季節早期至晚期的物種序列中起著重要作用。一些人在4月初丟掉了葉子，而另一些人則在5月下旬甚至6月上色之前握著綠色的葉子。

那天氣如何呢？天氣會影響顯示的強度和持續時間。天氣乾燥乾燥，夜晚寒冷和白天涼爽時，會產生最佳色彩。公園裡的溫度，尤其是晚上和清晨，足夠冷，可以觸髮色彩形成。但是，在大風潮濕的天氣中，通常在樹木顯色或保留之前就將葉子從樹木上吹下來。因此，根據雨季的不同，季節中的顏色可能會有所不同，並且某些年份的顯示效果可能會更好。

請記住，這是最有可能使樹木著色的一般指示，而不是強度或時間的保證。下面僅列出了主要樹木，但其他許多樹木和灌木可能會根據天氣顯示各種顏色。

玫瑰在阿拉倫

**這讓我感到驚訝😂**

***在決定計劃遊覽之前，您需要知道阿拉魯恩植物園每個季節都有不同類型的花。並不是每個季節都能看到的每朵花。您甚至每個季節都可***以***參觀阿拉倫植*****物園，以發現和發現這些美麗的花朵。**

**玫瑰花園頂上種類最多。玫瑰園裡有茶玫瑰的例子，其中許多花都是一年四季開花的，法國起源的 Gallica 玫瑰，錦緞，阿爾巴斯和現代灌木玫瑰。**

阿拉倫（Araluen）有各種各樣的玫瑰。玫瑰種植在澳大利亞叢林地中，生長在 jarrah，marri 和草木等本地植被中，而不是作為正式的玫瑰園。這是它如此獨特的原因之一。

在 2000 年種植了許多玫瑰。這些玫瑰現已成熟，並提供了壯觀的展示，特別是在 10 月下旬和 11 月初。 Araluen Rose 花園以其世界一流的Tea Rose 系列而聞名，其中包括 Alister Clark 玫瑰的大量收藏以及許多春季開花品種。

在 1930 年代，瑪格麗特·西蒙斯（Margaret Simons）紀念涼亭上種了玫瑰花，並在附近建立了當時流行的現代玫瑰花床。在 1990 年代，對這些玫瑰花園進行了翻新，並建立了新的玫瑰花園。

整個公園都有玫瑰! 現在，整個公園都發現了玫瑰。在 “遺忘之墓” 附近，擺放著一張 1930 年原始玫瑰花床，並配以 Iceberg，Gruss aachen 和 Rugosas 床。

在 Round House 附近，Felicias 和 Seafoam 的玫瑰看起來很壯觀。在木屋希利（Chalet Healy）咖啡館旁，大衛·奧斯丁玫瑰（David Austin Roses）的床鋪以及許多著名的古老傳統玫瑰，在春季處於最佳狀態。較古老的玫瑰品種 “ R.foetida” 的鮮黃色脫穎而出。卡贊利克（Kazanlik）（在香水界聞名的玫瑰）也在這裡。苔蘚玫瑰，其不尋常和芬芳的萼片，增加了人們的興趣。

玫瑰品種呢? 玫瑰花園頂上種類最多。在這裡，有空間讓植物充分發揮潛力，其中一些已經變成了巨大的開花灌木。在 1920 年代，著名的澳大利亞念珠手 Alister Clark 開始繁殖玫瑰，這些玫瑰將在我們溫暖的氣候下全年開花。玫瑰園裡有茶玫瑰的例子，其中許多花都是一年四季開花的，法國起源的 Gallica 玫瑰，錦緞，阿爾巴斯和現代灌木玫瑰。

山茶花在阿拉倫植物園

阿拉倫植物園（Araluen Botanic Park）中有超過 330 種山茶花植物，大約有 230 個不同的品種和種類。這些數字將被修改，因為最近的購買包括至少 40 個新品種，一旦它們被種植，驗證，編碼和定位，就將添加到記錄中。該茶花系列被國際茶花協會認可為國際茶花園。

澳大利亞：早期的定居者在定居的早期將山茶花帶到了新南威爾士州，麥克阿瑟家族培育了今天仍在花園中種植的新山茶花。

西澳大利亞州：在西澳大利亞州，早期的先驅者帶來了許多花園和生產性植物，其中至少包括一些在早期房屋和農場周圍種植的山茶花。

澳大利亞山茶花記載到 1936 年，珀斯的紐曼苗圃是第一個出售和繁殖各種山茶花的苗圃。主人查爾斯·紐曼（Charles A Newman）在公園裡繁殖了許多山茶花，其中有幾朵。

珀斯地區通常地中海氣候嚴酷，夏季炎熱乾燥，風很大。阿拉倫植物園在達令山脈的避風谷內擁有自己的小氣候。在山谷的最深處，日出較晚，日落較早，除最強風外，所有風都在灌木叢的頂部偏轉。冬季，沿著斯坦頓河（Stinton Creek）的北至南山谷的溫度要低幾個攝氏度，包括霜凍，即使在最極端的日子，樹木下的夏季熱量也能提供更多的保護。

有機肥料，專門用於茶花和其他耐酸植物，於三月和十月開花後施用。在整個炎熱乾燥的夏季，所有山茶大多都是由公園水壩的滴頭系統網狀形成的，有時始於 10 月，一直持續到 4 月開始降雨（希望如此）。

茶花僅在必要時修剪，以去除枯死或損壞的樹枝或路徑上的樹枝，因為它們已經種植了足夠的空間來生長和展示花朵，即使數十年後也是如此。茶花一般不會受到病蟲害的嚴重影響，儘管據疫病菌認為，山茶的偶然自發死亡仍然令人擔憂。

最早的花朵在茶花（Camellia sasanqua）品種上，開始於四月，一直持續到六月。它們與整個公園鮮豔鮮豔的秋葉的展示相吻合。種植最廣泛的是日本山茶（Camellia japonica）品種，具體取決於品種，可能最早在5月開始，但大部分在6月至9月開花。較晚的開花品種主要是網紋山茶花，最後一朵花通常在十月完成。

公園裡有一個活動，有時包括夏季音樂會，學校放假期間的兒童活動以及每個月的最後一個星期日的公園藝術。阿拉倫植物園（Araluen Garden）擁有輝煌的歷史。它由青年澳大利亞聯盟於 1929 年建立，最初用作度假公園，直到今天仍然散發著舊時代的魅力和氛圍。

公園的設施包括小木屋茶室和禮品店。在冬季，室內將點燃烈火。

***我最喜歡阿拉倫植物園的一件事是美麗的湖泊。當我在湖邊漫步時，由於我非常喜歡寒冷的天氣，因此在這種可愛的天氣下我會感到放鬆。***

觀鳥者

棲息地,阿拉倫（Araluen）的獨特環境提供了適合許多不同鳥類的多種棲息地，從而為它們提供了庇護所，巢穴，多種食物來源和永久水。有些人是居民，有些人季節性訪問，而另一些人偶爾通過。

棲息地的元素包括：

許多公頃的賈拉-瑪里森林，灌木叢茂密，林木茂密，露頭露頭

斯廷頓溪（Stinton Creek），大部分河岸附近都有茂密的覆蓋物，但有一些更開闊的區域。水，岩石和永久性水池

花園床，配有各種高度不同的外來和本地植物，夏季成網狀的草坪和水域

不屬於自然灌木叢的捕食者很少

很少使用可能傷害鳥類的農藥

一年中的大部分時間都沒有受到打擾。總有一個安全的地方。

在阿拉倫哪裡可以看到他們呢? 在整個公園內都可以看到鳥類，但是建議以下特別好的區域以便於觀察：

從木屋出發的輪廓道，穿過玫瑰花園，毗鄰的灌木叢，韋斯特雷克大橋和小河，通常是幾種食蟲鳥

草坪區域及其與 Mary Hargreaves Pergola 相鄰的邊緣-鳥類喜歡安全，陽光充足的開放空間

從入口停車場一直到 Stinton Creek，再經過 Stinton Creek，Roundhouse 然後向上游一直延伸到 Forest View

*根據我在阿拉倫植物園中的親身經歷，我學到了許多不同類型的花朵，異國情調的花園的歷史，當地的文化等等。向我展示的其他美麗事物是小瀑布。*

入場費

這次訪問有入場費，每人僅花費 $ 10 澳元，這是足夠的。這個阿拉倫植物園比國王公園植物園還大。您可以在這裡看到比國王公園更多的花園和公園，尤其是五顏六色的花朵部分讓我感到驚訝 😂😃😆

Araluen Botanic Garden

May 16, 2020May 16, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

It is understandable of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19. You can still start planning for your future travel plan. Are you intend to visit Australia in the future? Or are you from somewhere in Australia would love to visit Perth? I am sharing one of the best attractions and the beautiful garden that you will love it which is name called Araluen Botanic Garden 🙂

First of all, Araluen Botanic Garden can be a Garden or Park. Some people love to call Park and some call garden. It is not a big different.

Overview of Araluen

Araluen Botanic Garden is located in the Roleystone Western Australia. Araluen Botanic Garden is a unique attraction hidden in the lush valley of the Darling Range. The botanical garden has wild and cultivated beauty, and you can come here for leisure activities throughout the year. Regardless of the season, you can see the babbling stream and green scenery in the Araluen Park. You can have a barbecue picnic here or choose multiple trails to enjoy the fun of hiking.

There are exotic and native species in the paradise-like gardens, all of which are grown and cultivated in the historical park with rich and fertile soil and high rainfall. Magnificent and culturally significant terrace gardens, wood and stone structures, water features and ancient trees shape this park. Tulips and other beautiful flowers are in full bloom during the hot spring season, which is the best place for photography, bird watching and family gatherings.

There is an event in the park sometimes includes summer concerts, children’s activities during school holidays as well as the Art in the Park on the last Sunday of every month. Araluen Garden has a glorious history. Founded by Young Australia League in 1929, it was originally used as a holiday park, and until today it still exudes the charm and atmosphere of the old era.

Facilities in the park include a log cabin tea room and a gift shop. In winter, a warm fire will be lit indoors.

One thing i love about Araluen Botanic Garden is the beautiful lake. While i was walking around the lakeside, i could feel relax with this lovely weather as i love cold weather very much.

According to my personal experience in Araluen Botanic Garden, i have learnt a lot of the different type of flowers, the histories of the exotic garden, the local cultures and so on. The other beautiful things shown me was the small waterfall.

**Hiking up the low hill was very enjoyable and it was very beautiful view from the top**

What’s flowering at Araluen?

Before you decided to plan for a visit, you need to know that Araluen Botanic Garden has different type of flowers on every season. Not every flower you can see on every season. You could even visit Araluen Botanic Garden on every season to encounter and discover these beautiful flowers.

The top rose garden contains the greatest variety. The Rose Garden has examples of Tea roses, many of which flower all year, Gallica roses of French origin, Damasks, Albas and modern shrub roses.

Admission Fee

There is an admission fee for this visit and it is just cost AUD$10 per person only which is worth enough. This Araluen Botanic Garden is bigger than Kings Park Botanic Garden. You could see so much garden and park here than Kings park, especially is the colorful flowers part where amazed me 😂😁😆

凱維森野生動物園

May 12, 2020May 12, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是否打算不久或將來前往西澳大利亞州？您想遇到從未見過或見過的動物嗎？您是農場愛好者嗎？您聽說過凱維森野生動物園嗎？它是西澳大利亞州的頂級旅遊景點之一。

今天，我要介紹您，在西澳大利亞州遇到的最好的野生動植物稱為凱維森野生動物園。這將包括在公園內要做的事情，看到的東西，所擁有的東西，歷史和其他內容等等。在此之前，我強烈建議您在下午3點之前參觀，這樣您就可以安排自己的時間來認識澳大利亞所有獨特的本土動物。在凱維森野生動物公園中探索和發現所有事物至少需要3個小時。

吸引力的基本介紹

凱維森野生動物公園擁有約200種動物，其中有2000多種動物，鳥類和爬行動物。這個令人印象深刻的收藏使公園成為西澳大利亞州最大的私有私人野生動植物收藏。該公園是西澳大利亞州首屈一指的開發項目，吸引了來自世界各地的遊客。

訪客將獲得野生動物專業人士的個性化服務，他們致力於提供卓越的服務，從而確保訪客獲得與動物互動，信息和照片的最佳機會。

認識樹熊

**您可以遇到樹熊，有一段時間他們將開放給人們參觀樹熊。確保拍攝一些照片以備記憶。**

**考拉每日課程如下：**
**上午9:00至9.30**
**上午11.30至下午12.00**
**下午2.30至3.00**
**下午4.00至4.30**

凱維森野生動物公園展示了澳大利亞許多獨特的本土動物，包括樹熊，袋鼠，負鼠，塔斯馬尼亞魔鬼和袋熊。他們為遊客提供了與一些澳大利亞偶像近距離接觸的機會！手動餵食袋鼠，與樹熊合影，與管家交談，並在兩個動手錶演中進行互動。這些都包含在您的入場費中。

觸摸樹熊之前，必須使用公園中提供的洗手液清潔觸摸樹熊之前的手。

見面袋熊和朋友表演

觀看見面袋熊和朋友表演，這是每天互動的表演，飼養員可以帶出自己喜歡的朋友供您查看，觸摸和了解。您將遇到毛茸茸的袋熊，可能只是對許多友善的鳥類之一打招呼或與爬行動物合影！

農場表演

一定要趕上每天的農場表演，以鞭打，剪羊毛，擺比利等方式瞥見農場生活！也可以訪問莫莉的農場，獲得互動式農家樂體驗，例如餵食水牛，美洲駝，鹿等。

在農場秀期間，他們將向您展示他們如何剪羊毛，如何製造羊毛脂油，如何餵給嬰兒羊奶，如何從牛中製造牛奶以及許多其他與農場有關的事情。和我一樣，您會在農場表演中發現有趣的地方。

餵養袋鼠

當我餵養袋鼠時，我發現它很有趣，但有時當我餵養牠們時，它們會入睡，有時當我餵養牠們時，它們會同時進食和睡眠。我當時在想他們如何同時進食和睡眠。假設如果有人在周圍看到食物，人們會感到興奮，看到那裡有食物，他們會吃點食物，所以人們不會感到疲倦和困倦。

***小袋鼠的名字叫喬伊斯，小袋熊的名字也叫喬伊斯。喬伊斯被定義為小動物*** 🙂

袋鼠有两種顏色。它們是白色和棕色的袋鼠。餵養袋鼠時，您會發現一些有趣的事情，例如懷孕的袋鼠，生嬰兒，餵養嬰兒，彼此擁抱，在睡覺時擁抱他們的孩子等。

我在野生動物公園中最愛的是什麼？

***我絕對最喜歡的部分當然是餵袋鼠，因為它們非常漂亮和友善，但是有時候它們很害羞，不確定是害羞還是累，這是我餵牠們的壓力*** 🙂

除了餵養袋鼠之外，我也喜歡樹熊。樹熊胖嘟嘟了是合理的，我愛上了它們可愛的樣子😂

入境費用是多少？

費用為每位成人是 30澳元，每位學生 23澳元。學生入場票稱為優惠票。您需要在訪問時出示學生證。

成本不是那麼昂貴，這是一個合理的價格，值得去探索和發現野生動物。

科湖努無尾熊樂園

May 2, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是否打算將來前往西澳大利亞州？您想擁抱樹熊嗎？您是動物愛好者嗎？你喜歡動物嗎？告訴您最好的目的地之一是叫科湖努無尾熊樂園(Cohunu Koala Park)。這是唯一一個允許人們擁抱樹熊的公園。這個景點在澳大利亞的珀斯並不是那麼有名，所以並不是每個人都知道這個公園。如果您有興趣，請隨時訂閱並關注我的本網站和 Twitters / instagram，以隨時關注我即將發表的期刊喔。非常歡迎您訪問我的網站。

歡迎來到 TravelQueen4ever 網站獲取旅行日記😀

旅遊景點簡单介紹

來到西澳洲幾次都從未抱過樹熊,今次來到西澳的科湖努無尾熊樂園是唯一可以抱樹熊的保育區點都要抱下喔!

您們有聽說過科湖努無尾熊樂園嗎？科湖努無尾熊樂園位於14公頃的天然澳大利亞叢林中，距離西澳大利亞州的珀斯市到 Byford 僅40分鐘車程。

科湖努無尾熊樂園樹熊殖民地成立於 1982 年，當時它的頭4只樹熊從南澳大利亞抵達。現在，它的殖民地擁有超過25只樹熊，通常每年增加4隻小喬伊。

它是最好的景點，可以和生活在公園中的一些獨特的澳大利亞動物區交朋友。手工餵食許多免費的漫游動物。與30多只會說話的鸚鵡聊天，看看野狗，袋鼠，鹿和樹熊，僅舉幾隻住在公園的動物。順便說一句，請注意動鴯，因為它很危險。公園中的鴯到處走動，有時他們喜歡離別人很近，所以請確保您不要碰他們。

乘坐科湖努無尾熊公園鐵路，僅在大多數週末和公共假期曲折蜿蜒遍及整個公園。拍攝對象可能會根據天氣情況而變化。

參觀有入場費。每位只需成人將花費 $15澳元。

與動物界，鸸，小袋鼠，貓頭鷹，野狗和鹿交朋友的最佳去處，只是公園裡其他可以餵食的動物中的少數。最受歡迎的科湖努是擁抱樹熊 🙂

這個樹熊的名字叫艾比。她非常友好和可愛。擁抱她時，她在自拍期間非常專注於我的相機。我的一些朋友問我關於他們的指甲的問題，擁抱它們是否有點沉重。以我對擁抱樹熊的親身經歷而言，它一點也不重，就像擁抱孩子一樣。沒什麼大不同。但是，我發現擁抱她的一件事非常有趣，直到我想把她帶回家之前，這都是很愉快的。關於樹熊的指甲，是的，它非常鋒利，因為鋒利的指甲擁抱她時有點痛苦，但是對我來說還是非常可愛。

科湖努無尾熊公園是西澳大利亞州唯一的野生動物公園，它使您可以抱起並擁抱他們可愛的，毛茸茸的朋友之一，樹熊。抱抱和與公園的明星合影留念，每人只需 $30澳元，這是紀念完美遊覽一天的完美紀念品。這是相當昂貴的，但值得。花這筆錢是一個非常難忘的好經歷。

擁抱艾比時，我正在餵她，她非常可愛。當我餵養她時，她吃得很快，似乎餓了。但是當我和她合影時，工作人員拿走了她的食物，因為她一直在進食而沒有看著我的相機。

確保隨身攜帶相機拍攝快照，尤其是擁抱樹熊。

大多數人為了擁抱樹熊而去科湖努無尾熊公樂園。這是一個非常難忘的時刻。您會像我一樣喜歡它。每個人都喜歡擁抱無尾熊 🙂

當您在科湖努無尾熊公樂園周圍遊覽時，您會看到博物館和公園周圍的農場。您可以在公園中擺弄許多動物，以拍攝快照，並留下令人難忘的時間，這非常酷的。

*這就是我為其中一隻恐龍拍攝快照的姿勢，那是一個非常美好的時刻，並且是模仿者。恐龍在公園的博物館周圍。很多人喜歡與他們合影，因為這很酷*😍

在這個科湖努無尾熊公樂園可以做的事情挺多的，例如探索公園，手工餵養友好的袋鼠，小袋鼠，最好的擁抱樹熊的土特產照片以及與其中一個恐龍副本合影。＃夢想＃假期

國王公園的美麗之地 – 珀斯

April 26, 2020April 26, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

你喜歡公園嗎？你對花園感興趣嗎？我將向您介紹國王公園的目的地。國王公園位於澳大利亞珀斯，在那裡您可以欣賞美麗的珀斯市，它是西澳大利亞州最好的旅遊景點之一。它是最大，最美麗的內城公園。它擁有豐富的原住民和歐洲歷史，當代文化，並提供創新的設計，展示和服務。國王公園在科學研究，領先的園藝，保護和公共教育方面享有國際聲譽。

國王公園（Kings Park）是壯觀的西澳大利亞州植物園的所在地，該園種有超過 3,000 種該州獨特的植物。 400 公頃公園中有三分之二被保護為灌木叢，為當地生物多樣性提供了避風港。

在這裡，您可以欣賞到天鵝河和坎寧河的一覽無餘的風景，如上圖所示，城市天際線和東邊的達令山脈。在國王公園（Kings Park）可以找到布什蘭（Bushland）步道，完美的花園和公園以及各種兒童探索遊樂區。遊客信息中心，每日免費導遊帶步，國王公園畫廊商店，咖啡館和公共交通工具的各個方面都非常方便。

植物園 Botanic Garden

國王公園和植物園慶祝西澳大利亞州獨特而多樣的植物生活，並且是致力於植物保護的全球植物園網絡的一部分。珀斯公園（後來的國王公園）的最初構想是一個帶有草坪，遮蔭樹木和花壇的歐式花園。對氣候差異和低養分土壤的認識改變了這一願景。

1965年10月，佔地17公頃的西澳大利亞州植物園開業。一個不斷變化的，有生命的研究中心，致力於保護西澳大利亞州的植物，並展示一些澳大利亞最多樣化和最壯觀的植物群。

當您訪問國王公園時，國王公園中有一個非常美麗的植物園。如果您對學習當地的土著植物感興趣，那麼您應該在植物園中漫步。

在植物園中漫步時，您會看到很多這個花園的標誌，以告訴您有關花園名稱的更多詳細信息，例如左側顯示的圖片，即名為Dwellingup mallee 的花園。您還會看到最高的樹，也叫鮑伯樹。這很有趣。

當我參觀公園的植物園時，我發現懸鈴木很有趣。來自公園的導遊之一，與我們分享 Boab 樹的故事。從2008年7月起，巨人鮑勃（Giant Boab）的故事從華盛頓州金伯利地區的沃蒙（Warmun）到達珀斯國王公園（Kings Park），超過 3200 公里，贏得了全球媒體的報導。

從未有如此成熟的樹木從陸地上經過如此遠的距離。這棵標誌性樹估計有 750 年曆史，重 36 噸，高 14 米，寬 8 米（分支跨度）。是樹幹，直徑 2.5 米。

玻璃橋 😀

在玻璃橋的樹梢上散步，他們將其命名為 Lotterywest Federation Walkway，欣賞天鵝河和珀斯市的無與倫比的美景。

玻璃橋令人印象深刻的工程和建築壯舉，是與景觀緊密結合的雕塑品質，鏽跡斑斑的鋼塔和強大的巨型吊塔形式與周圍的大樹幹具有親和力。

隨著人行道下面的土地開始掉進一個山谷，我的旅程引領我更高，我得到了一個新的視角，豐富了我對大自然的美麗的欣賞。

從鳥瞰圖中，我發現自己在 Zamia Cycads 和巴爾蓋斯或草樹上令人驚嘆，是因為我突然看到了他們徑向對稱的完美模式。在森林樹冠上，我是一個有 Marri，Karri，Tingle 和 Jarrah 的開花的人，是 Sheoak 的複雜的小錐體和數十隻鳥類。

剛北北部的北圓形圍繞著福雷斯環形交叉路口，玻璃橋始於地面，但我很快就會掃除，因為我接近頂點 – 一個壯觀的拱形橋樑，最大高度為 16米，玻璃牆，距離森林不間斷的景觀在最高點，花點時間吸收天鵝和坎寧河流的全景。

我還記得我在橋上跳躍，我的朋友尖叫著，因為這座橋在我跳起來非常搖搖晃晃。在橋上行走是非常好的經驗。這座橋是一個走往向 DNA 塔樓的人行道。

整個走道長約 620 米，航空部分為 222 米，包括 52 米橋。雖然有手動移動設備的人可以在拱門上需要幫助，它可以通過輪椅訪問。

人行道上的藝術品包括當地土著人 Nyoongar 的設計。橫跨伊麗莎·斯卡普山之後，人行道下降到圓形劇場，在國王公園音樂節期間舉行傳統表演。這個表演區被稱為 Beedawong-Nyoongar 的意思是慶祝或聚會的地方。

通過玻璃橋步行時，您將通過此車道。這是一個非常美麗的植物環繞，步行到 DNA 塔樓時您會看到水上花園。

脫氧核糖核酸 (DNA) 塔樓

DNA 塔由脫氧核糖核酸（DNA）雙螺旋分子引用，該雙螺旋分子存在於所有細胞中並控制生命的發展。

它是國王公園（Kings Park）的最高觀賞點，在整個攀登過程中均享有壯觀的景色。在晴朗的日子裡，您甚至可以看到印度洋。 DNA 塔樓讓您從頂部俯瞰這座美麗的珀斯城市。從頂部可以看到兩條河流，分別是天鵝河和坎寧河。走路很累，但值得一去，因為從塔頂可以看到非常美麗的景色。

DNA 塔樓周圍的鋪路和牆體是用來自西澳大利亞州 11 個城鎮和 80 個郡的石頭建造的。原始設計在塔樓的底部包括一個淺反射池。 2001 年用Karratha 石材鋪路代替了它，以提高遊客的安全性。

DNA 塔樓位於 Broadwalk Vista 的 Forrest Drive 端。從酒店可輕鬆步行至 May Drive Parkland 和西澳大利亞州植物園 1.5 公里。

除了在國王公園里要做的事情之外，國王公園還有什麼可以探索和考察的呢？大多數的遊客到訪的國王公園都是去 DNA 塔樓的所在地，可以欣賞到城市的美麗，玻璃橋，植物園，美術館以及學習當地的土著文化。當地人通常與家人和朋友一起去國王公園燒烤肉，特別是在周末的時刻。國王公園還可以為這對夫婦舉辦婚禮活動，例如結婚晚宴。對夫婦來說，在國王公園拍一些很好的照片是一個很好的背景。

歸根結底，國王公園（Kings Park）也非常適合教育方面的。一些學校和大學總是帶他們的學生去到國王公園進行實地考察，然後才給他們做一些有趣的活動。

如果您去國王公園，我強烈建議您去看看。它是珀斯澳大利亞的頂級目的地之一。

請繼續關注我的下一個博客 🙂

如果您有任何疑問和疑問，請隨時與我聯繫。我會為您提供一些旅行建議。確保您由於 COVID-19 這病毒而現在不在旅途中，但是在此病毒結束後請您訪問。加油 🙂

If you are interested, please feel free to subscribe and follow me on my this sites and my twitters/instagram to stay tune for my upcoming journal. You are more than welcome to visit my sites.

Welcome to TravelQueen4ever site for the travel journal 😀

General introduction of Koala Park

Have you ever heard about Cohunu Koala Park? Cohunu Koala Park is located on 14 hectares of natural Australian bushland just 40 minutes drive from the City of Perth in Western Australia to Byford.

The Cohunu Koala Park koala colony was established in year 1982, when its first 4 koalas arrived from South Australia. It is now boasts more than 25 koalas in its colony, usually increasing by 4 baby joeys each year.

It is the best attractions to come and make friends with some of the unique Australian fauna living in the park. Hand feed with many of the free roaming animals. Have a chat with over 30 talking parrots, see dingoes, kangaroos, emus, deer and koalas, just to name a few of the animals that live at the park. By the way, please be aware of the Emus as it is dangerous. The emus in the park is walking around and sometimes they love to be very near people so make sure you are not touch them.

Take a ride on the Cohunu Park Railway which zig zags its way throughout the park most weekends and public holidays only. The subject may change according to the weather conditions.

There is an admission fees for a visit. It would be cost $15 per adult.

**Exploring around the park and saw the crab on the ground**

Best place to come and make friends with the animal kingdom, emus, wallabies, owls, dingos and deers are only a few of the other animals that can be fed at the park. The most popular of Cohunu is cuddle Koalas 😍

This Koala name is called Abby. She is very friendly and adorable. While cuddling her, she was very focusing on my camera during selfies time. Some of my friends were asking me about their nail and if it is kinda heavy to cuddle them. In my personal experience of cuddling koala, it is not heavy at all, it is just as same as cuddling children. It is not a big different. But, one thing i find about cuddling her was very fun and it is enjoyable until i want to bring her home. Regarding to Koalas nail, yes, it is very sharp and it is kinda painful while cuddling her because of the sharp nail but it is still very cute for me to cuddle.

Cohunu Koala Park is Western Australia’s the only wildlife park that allows you to pick up and cuddle one of their loveable, furry friends which is koalas. It will be just cost $30 per person to have a cuddle and a photo taken with the star of the park, the perfect souvenir to remember the perfect day of visit. It is quite costly but it is worth it. It is a very memorable and good experience to be spending for this.

While cuddling Abby, i was feeding her and she was very adorable. When i was feeding her, She seem like very hungry as she was eating very fast. But when i took a selfies with her, the staff took away her food because she kept eating without looking at my cameras.

Ensure to bring your own camera with you to take some snapshot, especially cuddling with koalas.

Most of the people going to the Cohunu Koala Park for cuddling koalas purposes. It is a very memorable moments. You will love it just like I do. Everybody love cuddling koalas 😀

**Do you know who is this? It is humpty dumpty. I was surprising to see humpty dumpty around the park.**

When you are exploring around the Cohunu Koala Park, you will see the Museums and the farm around the park. You could pose with lot of animals in the Park to have some snapshot and memorably time which is pretty cool.

This is how i had a pose for a snapshot with one of the dinosaurs 😂, it was a very beautiful moment and being a copycat. Dinosaurs are around the Museums in the park. Many people love to pose with them because it is very cool

Things to do in the Cohunu Koala Park are pretty much such as exploring the park, hand feed the friendly kangaroos, wallabies, the best cuddle a koala for a souvenir photo as well as to pose for a snapshot with one of the dinosaur replicas. #Dreams #Vacation

海豚探索中心 (DOLPHIN DISCOVERY CENTRE)

April 17, 2020April 17, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

跟海豚有興趣的朋友們，歡迎來覌看及關注喔!

English reader could view on my this link https://travelqueen4ever.org/2019/06/03/dolphin-discovery-centre-bunbury/

海豚探索中心簡单介紹

歡迎來到海豚探索中心覌看! 首先要跟你們推荐西澳大利亚的一個很著名的景点叫做班伯利海豚探索中心。

如何去班伯利的海豚中心呢? 驾車從珀斯到班伯利大約2個小時，有國际驾照的朋友們是很方便的。你們可以租車。租車的价格很便宜的，租車只需一天 $23 澳元而已。打算租車的朋友們，可以联系我，我可以服务你們租車，而且有特价喔!

没有驾照的朋友們，你們可以坐公交車到达目的地。火車和巴士都有到喔! 我當天是坐巴士的，坐巴士會比較慢到，不過可以看到完美的风景。巴士去只需4個小時到达班伯利巴士車站，到了班伯利巴士車站之后呢，還要再走一段路，大約走路15分鍾左右到海豚中心。坐巴士的价格大概 $50 澳元单程票，真的超级貴的，而且坐巴士必要在那边過夜，因為會赶不回去哒。所以我建议租車或者跟团队會比較好一些，當然坐火車會比較快，但是看不了完美的风景。坐火車到班伯利車站大約2個小時的時间就會到达火車車站啦，下火車之后呢，就會比較麻煩一些，那就是必要坐另外的巴士或者是 uber 去到海豚中心了，因為班伯利的火車站到海豚中心亮点那边满有距离的，驾車還需半個鍾。如果坐火車的話，价格是 $25 澳元单程票价喔!

新的發現中心于2018年12月完成了重建工作, 其中包括200万澳元升级到解釋体验, 扩大了大型和专業主題水族馆的范围, 并對库姆巴纳湾 (Koombana Bay) 环境及其历史–地质、本土、海洋和當代。這是一种身临其境的体验, 有活动中心、互动展示、供餐节目和旅游, 吸引了所有年龄段的人。酒店還设有咖啡厅和纪念品商店。

水族馆講述了該地區从淡水河到近海珊瑚礁的故事, 并以温带的海洋動植物為特色。該中心提供了独特的体验, 使用嵌入式技术和自然展示, 為游客创造難忘的体验, 补充海滩互動區和海豚旅游行程的野生海豚体验。

海豚游泳旅游行程從11月1日开始, 在那里你可以和野生海豚一起游泳。海豚生态邮轮全年运行, 取决于天氣。所有预訂均可在线或通過班伯利游客中心 (Bunbury Visitor Centre) 完成。

在海豚探索中心這里呢，游客可以直接面對這些可愛的海豚，這是澳大利亚唯一提供岸边互動、乘船覌赏海豚和游泳游览的景点，還有一处解説教育中心，在該海豚探索中心海洋生物學家的指导下，游客可以在海豚生長的自然环境中浮潜，与海豚结伴游泳；如果游客更希望待在岸上，则可在指定的互動區等待的海豚來亲吻您；或者，還可以参加海豚航游，在等待海豚出現時，游客可进入探船上的索室（Discovery Room），深入了解這些迷人的生物和該中心正在进行的研究項目。

***這是出海覌海豚的時侯，可以体验凤景及海豚，导游會教你們如何看不同类型的海豚***

与海豚同游的价格满貴的，但是很值得花钱去游玩，要与海豚同游的朋友們，每人只付 $165 澳元，游 3到4 個小時。到了目的地，可以去海豚中心買票，然后坐船直到与海豚游泳的海中洋。不會游泳的朋友們，不推荐喔! 不過可以坐船出海覌海豚，费用另外的，每人 $54 澳元，坐 1個半鍾的船出海覌海豚之旅。

海豚探索中心设有礼品店和咖啡厅，可选擇一個靠窗的座位或户外餐桌，俯瞰海湾美景，覌赏海豚在浅水區里嬉戏玩耍。

其實可以在海豚中心里吃午餐，喝個下午茶也好。他們的煎鱼片薯条很好吃，美味可口呀! 講到流口水了😂

煎鱼片薯条以外，他們也有賣漢堡薯条，沙拉蔬菜，還有很多的西餐等等。他們的咖啡☕超级好喝又满甜的，不喜愛吃甜的朋友們，也可以要求少糖喔! 不用覺得太尴尬又不好意識，工作人員都在那里服务你們喲!

今天就到這里為此，有興趣的朋友們，可以在這里關注我喔! 有什麼問題，可以联系我! 加油😍

For English version 英文版的朋友們，可以去 https://travelqueen4ever.org/2020/04/10/busselton-and-margaret-river/ 覌看喔!

第一站: 巴瑟尔頓栈桥（Busselton Jetty）

來到西澳洲這里，就是要体验一下。今天要跟大家簡单介紹一個在西澳洲里的一個很著名的旅游景点就是叫做巴瑟尔頓栈桥（Busselton Jetty). 這個地方位于西澳大利亚州西海岸中部的滨海小城巴瑟尔頓（Busselton). 巴瑟尔頓栈桥是南半球最長的木制栈桥，全長1841米，上面還有火車轨道，可以行走也可以坐小火車往返。這是近期被真人秀节目带火的景点。

行路直到最尾，會看到這個很特别的带路方向，讓你和船員知道這東南西北是可以往去哪里的; 比如東边的是可以去墨尔本的，西边的就是去到巴黎的路線

在海浪下面，你可以进入水下覌察站 (Underwater Observatory) 或穿上装备去潜水，覌赏澳大利亚最好的人工礁群。

巴塞尔頓 (Busselton) 两次被评為西澳大利亚州的最佳旅游城市，距离瑪格丽特河葡萄酒产區 (Margaret River Wine Region) 仅幾步之遥，從珀斯 (Perth) 南下開車到那儿只需 2 小时 40 分钟，乘坐飛機仅需 50 分鍾，所以這個地方你可没有理由錯過。

其标志性的文化遗产栈桥最初建于 1865 年，購買一張票即可前往巴瑟尔顿栈桥 (Busselton Jetty)，并坐車到达最远处。

沿着這個長堤一直走向大海，印度洋的海水就在脚下，风景如画，尤其是日落更是美不胜收，网传台灣艺人徐若瑄的婚纱照也曾在此取景，也有网传宫崎骏就是來這里旅行時，被栈桥上的火車触發了创作灵感，把海中火車這個独特的概念运用到《千与千寻》的创作中。

在巴瑟尔頓栈桥的尽頭处，有一個海下水族馆，大概有三层楼高，透过11个窗口，可以参覌到澳洲特有的珊瑚礁和色彩斑斓的鱼类。感覺好像海底世界一样。

簡单來説，跟团到巴瑟尔頓一日游都是有包了入門票。租車的朋友們，自费每人付澳元 $4，并不貴的。我當天去玩的時侯，就感覺好好玩，我推荐你們坐小火車往下单程跑，然后回程的時侯，可以行走回到前門。本國人來到這個地方是為了钓鱼。這個是游客的地方，游客來到這里是為了覌看景点。

成人小火車票价是 $14澳元，儿童（3-14岁）是 $8.5澳元；家庭（2大2小) 的票价是 $38澳元

成人包括小火車、水族馆在内的套票价格大约 $34澳元，儿童价格（3-14岁）是 $20澳元以及家庭票价（2大2小）$99澳元，需提前一天以上在官网预定。通常跟团队去游玩的都有包括在团队价格里了。

其实這個景点很值得去的，并不貴對吧!

第二站: 啤酒厂午餐 – 瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river)

接下來想跟大家分享第二站的行程。

我這照片里，我后面是什麼河呢? 那個就是瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river). 瑪格麗特河 (Margaret river) 是珀斯最著名的景点，也是属于吃喝玩樂的地方。河边满都是葡萄園。

在玛格丽特河 (Margaret River) 及其优质葡萄酒产区，游客可以释放所有的激情。這里是全澳洲地理环境最优越的葡萄酒产区，您不仅可以看到屡获殊荣的酒庄和餐厅，還可以顺途拜访迷人的海滩、古老的洞穴、樹高参天的森林以及世界頂尖的冲浪胜地。

從珀斯 (Perth) 出發，您只需沿海岸驱车 3 小时即可抵达，经济型旅客则可以搭乘每日的旅游汽車，或者您也可以选擇另一种时髦的方式，即乘坐直达包机前往附近的巴塞尔頓 (Busselton)。

玛格丽特河（Margaret River）拥有得天独厚的温和天氣与充足阳光，過去這里只是个安适的冲浪小镇，但现在已经發展成了极受歡迎的旅游胜地，旅客可以在這里享用美酒，欣赏壮阔的景色，看連绵起伏的葡萄酒厂与作為背景的海洋和森林相映成趣。

澳大利亚超过 15％的优质葡萄酒在這里生产，它們拥有頂尖的口感。除了 100 多家酒庄，這里還提供了琳琅满目的精致餐厅、精品啤酒厂、艺术图库和包括口味绝佳的奶酪和巧克力在内的新鲜特产讓您尽情挑选。如果您來訪的時间恰逢一年一度的美酒美食节，您就有機會一次品尝到幾乎所有的美味。

喜歡探险的游客也会在這里樂而忘返。

午饭當中，精致的西式 burger 与 waffle。舟车劳頓的小编忍不住多吃两口，超出了今日摄入卡路里，没關系，請跟着我們一起进入下個項目，“燃烧我的卡路里”！

有计划過夜的朋友們，您們可以根据预算选擇或豪华或簡朴的床铺在夜晚安眠。這里不仅有許多奢华度假胜地和私人海滩别墅，還有大量的酒店、汽車旅馆、背包客旅馆、房車旅馆以及露营地供您挑选。

第三站 : 罗伯特奥特雷酒庄

接下來，我們到达罗伯特奥特雷酒庄目的地。罗伯特奥特雷酒庄也是属于杩格丽特河這里，這里有好多酒厂，其中一個最好的酒厂是叫做罗伯特奥特雷酒庄。這個酒庄是很著名的一個酒庄。來到這個地方就是要喝啤酒🍺。澳大利亚的酒超级貴，但是久久買一些是很值得的。那边最有名的就是葡萄酒🍷

你們愛喝酒嗎? 愛喝酒的朋友們记得关注我喔! 我會介紹一些著名的酒瓶喔! 這家罗伯奥特雷酒庄有給你們免费試喝酒的，到目的地之后，酒巴人員會給一個講座，就是介紹一些推荐有名的啤酒。他們是一個一個酒來介绍的。介紹一瓶，試喝一瓶，满好喝的! 他們有紅酒，白酒，甜酒和黄酒。當我們試喝酒的時侯，我們都感覺太他的紅酒🍷和甜酒超级好喝的，不買會后悔喔!

其中的果酒也就是我們試喝的那個甜酒，真的很受女生的歡迎呢~

除了試酒以外，他們也有給我們免费學习酒类的知識!

所以我們來到這個地方享受吃喝玩樂的一天😄

第四站: 瑪格丽特河巧克力工厂

學习酒类之后，就出發到最后的景点就是瑪格丽河巧克力工厂咯。愛吃巧克力的朋友們，记得要覌看喔! 游客去到這個巧克力🍫工厂是為了吃免费的巧克力。這個地方是很特别的，尤其是他的巧克力的口味很特别又很好吃。當然吃太多也不健康，所以平常别吃太多，來到這里再吃点。

當我在覌看這個巧克力工厂當中，我還買了一個 mint 巧克力口味的冰淇淋來边吃边看。免费巧克力以外，還有咖啡厅可以覌看! 這是很美好的纪念。

最后，喜歡我介紹的景点，记得要關注我喔! 有什麼任何的問題，可以联络我。期待我下一個的亮点喔😃

The beautiful of Kings Park – Perth

April 12, 2020April 12, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

Do you love park? Are you interesting with garden? I am going to introduce you about the destination of the Kings Park. Kings park is based in Perth Australia where you can view the beautiful city of Perth and it is one of the best tourist attractions in Western Australia. It is the largest and most beautiful inner city parks. It is rich in Aboriginal and European history, contemporary culture and it offers innovative design, displays and services. Kings Park has an international reputation for scientific research, leading horticulture, conservation as well as the public education.

Kings Park is home to the spectacular Western Australian Botanic Garden, which displays over 3,000 species of the State’s unique flora. Two thirds of the 400 hectare park is protected as bushland and provides a haven for native biological diversity.

**Meeting of two rivers which is name called Swan rivers and Canning rivers 🙂**

It is a place where you will enjoy sweeping views of the Swan and Canning Rivers which is shown the picture above, the city skyline and the Darling Ranges to the east. Bushland walk trails, immaculate gardens and parklands and a variety of children’s discovery play areas can all be found in Kings Park. The Visitor Information Centre, free daily guided walks, Aspects of Kings Park gallery shop, cafes and public transport are easily accessible.

Botanic Garden

Kings Park and Botanic Garden celebrates the unique and diverse plant life of Western Australia and it is part of the worldwide network of botanic gardens committed to plant conservation. The original vision for Perth Park, later Kings Park, was of a European style garden with lawns, shady trees and flower beds. Recognition of the climatic differences and the low nutrient soil changed this vision.

In October 1965, the 17 hectare Western Australian Botanic Garden was opened; an everchanging, living research centre that focuses on the conservation of Western Australia’s flora and displays some of the State’s most diverse and spectacular plant groups.

When you visit the kings park, there is a very beautiful Botanic Garden in the kings Park. If you are interested in learning the local aboriginal plants then you should walking around the botanic garden.

While walking around the botanic garden, you will see quite lot of this garden sign to tell you more details about the name of the garden such as the picture shown on the left side which is name garden called Dwellingup mallee. You will see the tallest tree which is called Boab tree as well. It is very interesting.

When I visited the botanic garden in the park, I find the boab tree is very interesting. One of the tour guide from the park, share us about the Boab tree. The story of the Giant Boab is called ‘Gija Jumulu’ captured world-wide media coverage during July 2008 as it journeyed over 3,200 kilometres, from Warmun in WA’s Kimberley region, to Kings Park in Perth.

Never before had a mature tree of this nature been transported across such a distance on the land. The iconic tree is estimated to be 750 years old, weighs 36 tonnes and stretches 14 metres high and eight metres wide (branch span). It is trunk measures 2.5 metres in diameter.

Glass bridge 😀

Take a walk in the treetops on the Glass Bridge which they name called Lotterywest Federation Walkway and enjoy unsurpassed views of the Swan River and Perth City.

An impressive feat of engineering and architecture, the Glass Bridge is strong sculptural quality bonds with its landscape, with the rusted steel and powerful forms of the colossal pylons having an affinity with the large tree trunks surrounding them.

As the land beneath the walkway starts to drop away into a valley and my journey leads me higher, I get a new perspective which enriches my appreciation of nature’s beauty.

From a bird’s eye view, I find myself marvelling a new at zamia cycads and balgas or grass trees, it is because I suddenly see the perfect pattern of their radial symmetry. Up in the forest canopy, I was at the one with the blossoms of marri, karri, tingle and jarrah, the intricate little cones of sheoak and dozens of native birds.

Just north of the Two Rivers Lookout near the Forrest roundabout, the Glass Bridge begins at ground level but I am soon swept aloft as I approach the apex – a spectacular arched bridge with a maximum height of 16 metres and glass walls which allow uninterrupted views to the forest floor. At the highest point, do take a moment to absorb the panorama of the Swan and Canning Rivers.

I still remember that i did jumping on the bridge and my friend was screaming because the bridge is very shaky as i was jumping. It is very good experience with walking on the bridge. The bridge is a walkway to get to the DNA towers.

The whole walkway is about 620 metres long, with the aerial section being 222 metres including the 52 metre bridge. It is accessible by wheelchair, although people with manual mobility devices may need assistance on the arch.

Artworks within the walkway include designs by the Nyoongar, the local Indigenous people. After spanning Mount Eliza Scarp the walkway descends to an amphitheatre where traditional performances are held during the Kings Park Festival. This performance area is named called Beedawong – the Nyoongar word for a celebration or meeting place.

**Walking to the DNA Tower will pass by here**

While walking pass through the glass bridge, you will walk pass this lane. It is a very beautiful plant surround there and you will see the water garden when you walk upto the DNA Towers.

DNA TOWERS

The DNA Tower is reffered from the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-helix molecule, which is found in all cells and control the development of life.

It is the highest viewing point in Kings Park with spectacular views throughout the climb. On a clear day you may even be able to see the Indian Ocean. DNA Towers is for you to have a view this beautiful City of Perth from the top. You could see the both rivers which is Swan and Canning rivers from the top. It is quite tiring to walk up but it is worth to do it because it is very beautiful view from the top of this towers.

The paving and wall surrounding the DNA Tower was constructed using stones from 11 towns and 80 shires within the Western Australia. The original design included a shallow reflecting pond at the base of the tower. It was replaced with Karratha stone paving in 2001 to enhance visitor safety.

The DNA Tower is located at the Forrest Drive end of the Broadwalk Vista. It is an easy 1.5 km walk from May Drive Parkland and the Western Australian Botanic Garden.

**How beautiful is this viewing from the Kings Park**

Apart from these things to do, what else is there to explore and discover in Kings Park? Most of the tourist visiting kings park for the DNA Towers, viewing the beautiful of the city, glass bridge, the botanic garden, Art Gallery as well as learning the local aboriginal cultures. Local people usually going to the Kings Park for BBQ with their family and friends, especially on the weekend. Kings park is also able to host for the couple to have a wedding activities such as wedding dinner. It is a very good background for the couples to have some nice photoshoot in the Kings Park.

Ultimately, Kings Park is very good for the education as well. Some school and the university always taking their student for a field trip to Kings Park to discover before giving them some activities to do which is pretty fun.

I do highly recommeded to go for a view if you are travelling to the Kings Park. It is one of the top destination in Perth Australia.
