However, the coastline is very long, and there are actually more than a dozen deserts in Australia. Affected by subtropical high, perennial offshore wind and cold current, the desert and semi-desert area of Australia accounts for about 44% of the whole mainland area. This time, we drove all the way to the depths of Western Australia to explore different scenery from the seaside.
Leave the city and go to expressway, and you will find a different scenery. There is no thriving scene in the south at all along the way, only large tracts of grassland, and there are hints from time to time on the roadside that kangaroos are infested in this section. After driving all night on this road, I am most afraid of hitting a kangaroo. At night, there are no street lamps in expressway. There may be kangaroos crossing the road. When the high beam shines, the kangaroo will only stand in the middle of the road stupidly. If the car travels too fast, it will easily hit the kangaroo, which may be light and hurt the kangaroo, or even kill the kangaroo and damage their car. In Australia, this kind of accident of hitting wild animals is beyond the insurance coverage of insurance companies.
Arriving at Nanpeng National Park, the first stop of this trip, Pinnacles Desert, as a virgin forest of exotic living fossils in the desert, has attracted a large number of tourists, and there are thousands of limestone columns as high as 5 meters. Against the backdrop of yellow sand, thick blue sky and wanton white clouds, every color is so clean and pure, and the harmony is outrageous. This wild beauty is different from the vastness brought by the endless sea before. In fact, the biggest attraction of Stonehenge is its night sky, because we didn't arrange accommodation near Stonehenge on this trip, and we regret not seeing the starry sky in the desert. Find a picture from the internet and feel the shock brought by the beauty of the starry sky in the vast desert.
This starry sky photo of Stonehenge Peak is a panoramic image composed of 29 photos. According to the source website of the picture, the southern galaxy spans Stonehenge, and the arch at the upper end is the central disk of the Milky Way. You can also see many stars and nebulae in the background night sky. I think only in such a quiet place, at night, can you see such a pure and clean starry sky. Even lying on the beach, counting the stars all night is a wonderful thing.
The second stop went to the famous lobster town nearby, where there was a big lobster processing factory, and the lobster hall next to it was made of fresh lobsters purchased from the market of this processing factory. The eating habits and cooking methods of Australians are very different from ours. The fish pieces they eat most often are served with French fries. The fish pieces are just a large piece of fish without fishbones wrapped in flour and fried. I deeply feel that the Chinese nation's food culture has been profound for thousands of years, and these western restaurants are dead in minutes. I think this lobster can be roasted, sprinkled with cumin and thrown away a few blocks when it is brought back to China.
The last stop was Lansling Dune, because it was too late, and the sand skiing was over. We can't rent a skateboard, so we can only walk in this big white desert. Unlike the yellow desert of Stonehenge, this is white sand. Walking on the endless sand in the sunset, there are quite a few apprentices going to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures. Go straight ahead, you don't know whether the monster in Pansidong wants to eat you or Xiliang's daughter Wang in her daughter country wants to trust her country.
This feeling is really wonderful. After I came to Australia, I slowly cured my entanglement. I used to like to think about things in the East and the West, but Zuo Quan's consideration of things was more balanced, which also brought me countless troubles. After coming to Australia, life has been simplified, and I have seen many scenery and things that I never thought would appear in my life before, and my mood has been broadened a lot.
Maybe that's what I'm talking about. It's better to take Wan Li Road to read thousands of books.
So, if you are unhappy, travel.
Body or soul, there must be one on the road.
