Venice, Western Australia:
Mandurah Small Tour 2 Days · Wild Old Ram (1)
A Two-day Tour of Mandurah · Ye's View（I）
2022-08-25
Like many place names in Western Australia, the word Mandurah is derived from the Aboriginal language meaning "the place where hearts meet".
Mandurah has become a popular tourist destination and is known as the Venice of Western Australia.
More than a dozen waterways connecting the sea are lined with beautiful houses.
There is a water dock in front of every house to park its own cruise ship.
On the afternoon of the first day we arrived, a friend sailed his own boat and took us on a tour of the Mandurah waterways.
A poem by the wild old man:
"Zammandula Friends"
Don't envy Tao Gong, don't envy immortals,
Enjoy the small town of Happy.
People with a wide chest,
The water is wide from all over the world.
Cook at home and treat guests,
Go out to sea and take a self-driving boat on the river.
The beautiful landscape in the dust stops,
Anshin has a paradise in the world?

Western Australian Black Swan · Wild old rambling
Black Swans in WA · Ye‘s View
2022—08—15
Western Australia, or "Western Australia" for short, is home to the black swan.
To the right of the Watar flag and the center of the WA emblem are black swan motifs, which shows the western Australians' love for black swans.
The great river that runs through the city center is also named "Swan River".
One of Western Australia's most fascinating scenic and wine regions has also been named the "Swan Valley".
There are also countless streets that have been named "Swan Street" and "Swan Alley".
Before setting foot on Australian soil, Europeans had hardly seen black swans, and even if they did, they saw them as the embodiment of demons.
In Tchaikovsky's Russian ballet Swan Lake, the black swan is the daughter of the devil, and the white swan is the beautiful princess.
The black swans of Western Australia are gentle and lovely, and look noble and cold. Black swans are everywhere in Western Australia, while white swans are extremely rare.
However, the fluff on the black swan cubs is dark white, resembling unpolished white jade.
In Western Australia, the best place to see black swans is Lake Menger, where hundreds of black swans and various water birds swim around the lake.
Wild Old Fu poem a praise for the black swan:
"Black Swan Praise"
The black dress flew by
Yuya wanders around the waves
Water neck effect luan phoenix
Lie still on the shore and hatch the geese
When he was young, his face was like jade
Grows into feathers that are inky
Noble and cold, everyone loves
It is named after the swan
