Section 994 The girl said
Paro Market is the end of Darwin's trip. An Qingju and Yunluo took the Qantas flight in the afternoon to the first stop of the Red Clay Center that he had longed for: Alice Springs.
Alice Springs, a very romantic name, reminds Yunluo of the piano song "To Alice" played by Richard a long time ago; this name is hard to associate with the desert town in the heart of Australia. This small place called alicespirngs has a rich pioneering history, adventure passages and Aboriginal arts and culture.
It is also the main gateway to iconic mainland attractions such as Uluru-Katatjutanationalpark, Kingscanyon, Simpson Desert and McDonnell Ranges.
After checking in, tailormadtours took An Qingju and Yun Luo to climb the highest mountain in the center of Anzachill (Anzachill). The viewing platform of Anzachill. The full view of Alice Spring and the beautiful surrounding scenery are unobstructed.
The East and West MacDonnell Ranges and the East Macdonnell Ranges span the city of Alice Springs and also spreads magical scenery in this area. This mountain range was formed in a crustal movement 310 to 340 million years ago and is still one of the most famous natural landscapes in central Australia.
"The beauty of Alice Spring is a pure beauty. Its beauty comes from the boundless earth and the endless sky. The stars are so bright and crystal clear that the shiny Milky Way seems to be within reach." said historian dickkimber.
The city of Alice Springs, outlined by the MacDonnell Mountains and a huge desert, is Australia's most famous inland city. Alice Springs is called mpwante by the traditional owner (Arente) Aboriginal people, only 200 kilometers south of Australia's geographical center. It was originally just a relay station on the Overland Telegraphline.
The introduction of camels, the development of animal husbandry, the discovery of sand gold in the alluvial strata and the geographical location far away from the world have created Alice Springs' unique indigenous community culture and a large number of distinctive festivals and events.
Alice Springs has stories about Australian history and traditions everywhere, with legendary figures abound, including Afghan camel cyclists, flying physicians and inland explorers. Today, there are still many attractions related to these legends in the town and its surrounding areas, which are left to future generations to admire.
The wonderful day in Alice Springs began with a hot air balloon trip in the early morning - floating in Alice Springs. The morning in the desert area was still quite cold. I took An Qingju and Yunluo to sit on the hot air balloon. It was the first time Yunluo had a hot air balloon in his life. I was quite excited!
At 4 a.m., the sky of Alice Spring is full of stars, and the clouds are so close to the stars. It is appropriate to describe it as "you can pick the stars with your hands".
When I was in Melbourne, I dreamed of riding a hot air balloon over a city or a winery, but this wish was not realized until the clouds fell to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Traveling is like life, and it also pays attention to "time, place, and harmony".
Yunluo watched from the beginning how the two staff members of "outbackballooning" skillfully blew a huge "package" into a hot air balloon for 16 passengers to ride.
It takes about 30 minutes to lift all the equipment off the car and the balloons are lifted off. Of course, sometimes passengers will be asked to help pull both sides of the balloon so that the hot air can "rush" into the balloon as soon as possible.
"This crimson round thing suddenly emitted dazzling light, making people's eyes hurt, and the clouds next to it suddenly shine." This sentence also applies to Lao She's famous quote "Sunrise on the Sea" in the desert sunrise in Alice Springs.
Facing the rising sun red clay desert, Yun Luo was a little surprised: This is obviously a piece of green, how can it be linked to the desert? This winding red clay road leads to the center of the world.
Clouds fell in the "oasis" and saw many unknown small animals. The hot air balloons fell down. A shadow like a wine glass was printed on the ground.
After the descending, it depends on the joint efforts of the pilot and all passengers. Put such a huge thing back into the bag. Yun Luo wonders how to put it back? Just like how the behemoth accidentally released in the fairy tale was put back into a small bottle.
All the passengers were busy helping to pack, and the big balloon turned into the picture, and the long shadow on the bottom right was the fish taking pictures.
After the one-hour hot air balloon flight, An Qingju and Yunluo used a special champagne breakfast in the desert. The breakfast included bread, sausages, and fruits. Price: 385 Australian dollars. The one-hour flight and breakfast is still not cheap. The next place is.
Alice Springs Desert Park (Alicesp Desert Park) Alice Springs Desert Park is a must-visit place for tourists who come to Alice Springs. The park has won many honors and ranks first among similar parks.
Various strange animals and flora and fauna in the Australian desert, wonderful inland scenery, and traditional performances of local Aboriginal people are the main presentations of the park.
After visiting the desert park, visitors will have a new understanding of the magical central Australia: here. The desert is no longer regarded as a barren land; it has a rich and diverse natural environment, vigorous life and millions of unknown stories waiting to be discovered and told.
Alice Springs Desert Park looks no different from the natural parks in other parts of the Northern Territory. It is also blue sky, abrupt rocks, and countless desert plants become green in this rainy season. However, this park, which has won many honors, contains various unique animals, plants and aboriginal cultural heritage in the Australian desert.
A rare shot captures this harmonious moment. The Desert Park is managed by Australian indigenous people, showing the unique animals and plants of the desert area in central Australia, allowing tourists to appreciate the thousands of styles of the desert. The park is divided into: desert areas, sand and woodland.
The birds in the desert park perform, and like to watch them fly elegantly over the desert. Although they can’t smell the smell of the desert in that lush green, the green of the jungle sets off its flying beauty.
An indoor desert ecological museum, take a closer look at the picture with an insect similar to a branch that is disguised as difficult to tell the authenticity. The ecological museum is the largest reptile exhibition in the Northern Territory. From small arms to large pythons as big as a tree trunk, plus various desert lizards of different types, you will definitely make your trip worth it.
There is also a very interesting performance display in the Desert Park: Introduction to the Aboriginal Lifestyle. The picture on the upper left is a distribution map of more than 400 Aboriginal tribes in Australia. There are more than 400,000 Aboriginal people in Australia now, 60%-80% are concentrated in the Northern Territory. Each tribe is not large, and some small tribes have only a few dozen people.
The picture on the left is a picture of various plants and fruits picked by the indigenous people in the desert. Some have medicinal functions, some are ground into powder and some are raw materials for bread, while others have decorative effects; the picture on the right is an indigenous staff introduced by An Qingju and Yunluo. He actually has a part of the white bloodline, and next to him is a tool for indigenous people to hunt and make fire.
The stone natives' abrasive tools, and the boomerangs and shields next to them are hunting tools; the picture on the left is the natives' hair, which they will weave into a circle, or hang on their bodies or serve as a cushion for the top bowl.
Leaving the desert park, we also visited theroyalflyingdoctor's "Royal Flying Medical Service Group". The service scope of this flight medical service group is centered on Alice Springs, with a service radius of 600 kilometers. There are a total of 36,000 residents (90% of whom are indigenous).
Currently, telephone calls are the main way to consult and diagnose, and aircraft are the main tool for providing emergency assistance. While tourists visit, doctors work, and tour guides talk endlessly, because ticket revenue is also one of the sources of fundraising for the medical team. It is the medical assistance equipment in the aircraft, which is quite advanced.
Alice Springs is actually a historic city, and its important position stems from its location in the heart of Australia's hinterland. More than a hundred years ago, because Adelaide and Darwin were 3,000 kilometers away, the rulers at that time happened to find spring water at the attachment of Alice Springs in order to build a road for transportation between the north and the south, so they chose this place as the telegram transfer station.
And gradually developed this desert town. Leaving the visiting site of the flight medical service group, An Qingju and Yunluo came to the Alice Spring Telecommunications Station again. These attractions are very close to each other and can be reached in about 10 minutes by car.
The original Alices Springs Telegraph Station was built in 1872. This ancient stone building (top left) displays many types of telegraph machines and precious cameras, and also describes the hardships of Alices Springs early, and the wheels of history have rolled through the rolling world.
The merits of the predecessors laid the foundation for the development of later generations. During World War II, this telegraph station played an important role in communications from Australia to Britain.
