Kings Park in Perth, the capital of Western Australia
With 2.5 million square kilometres, Western Australia is located in the western part of the australian continent and is the largest state in Australia. If you have a hard time imagining how big this state really is, let me tell you: Western Australia accounts for 1/3 of Australia's total area, which is equivalent to the entire Western Europe; China's largest province is Xinjiang, with 1.66 million square kilometers of land, about 1 million square kilometers less than Western Australia.
Western Australia has many deserts and salt lakes, sparsely populated, natural scenery and ecological environment still retain its original state; guarding a vast expanse, the population of Western Australia is only more than 2 million, and more than 70% live in the capital Perth.
Trips to Western Australia can be long or many times, but our time is always limited; apart from the capital perth, if you only have a spare day, the following day trip is classic and especially recommended.
The lobby of the Novotel hotel
I go to the southern hemisphere, usually in November and December, but our winter is the summer of the southern hemisphere, anti-seasonal travel, the first choice is Australia.
I stayed in Perth at Novotel, which is moderately priced, under the Accor brand, and guaranteed. The lobby of the Novotel hotel is lined with a variety of tourist brochures, so you can simply flip through them to find your favorite day or several-day tour itinerary, which can be booked directly in the hotel.
My journey with The Pinnacle Tours was from Novotel in perth city centre at 8:00am, via Western Australia's Kevesen Wildlife Park, where I visited the largest lobster factory and had a good meal, before arriving at the most beautiful golden inland encounter with Pinnacles and returning to my hotel after a desert ride. If you don't have much time in Western Australia, this day trip is a better option.
Such a trip is really exciting, hurry up! The Pinnacle Tours bus came to pick me up on time and was already full of tourists from all over the world, scattered around the rest of the city, looking forward to the day trip as much as I did.
The bus was driving steadily, and I saw perth's intoxicating green!
About 5 minutes after the bus leaves the hotel, you will see the "Burswood Entertainment Complex", which is said to have some of Perth's most interesting bars, entertainment departments, casinos and good-tasting restaurants. Although because of the time constraints, we were not able to go inside to experience it last time, so let's save the opportunity for the next time!
The first stop of the day, we stopped at Caversham Wildlife Park, Western Australia's Kevesen Wildlife Park, well, I saw the mighty Chinese. There are more than 200 species of animals in this safari park, most of which are familiar marsupials that must be seen in Australia.
Feeding kangaroos is naturally a project that children enjoy tirelessly. After a short stop at the zoo, we came to the long-admired Wagao lobster factory.
The lobster grows up in the Thompson family, where David Thompson and his three sons have been catching lobsters since 1966 and now have a long-established reputation for their lobster factory, which not only makes lobster a favourite food for Australians, but also a must-visit destination in Western Australia.
Lobsters are large and large, and are exported to Taiwan, Japan, China, Europe and the United States in the form of fresh, frozen, fully boiled or unprocessed forms.
The pictures on the walls show the whole process of lobsters from fishing to making and exporting.
Interestingly, they also have a multi-lingual headset for each visitor, and visitors from different countries can choose a language they are familiar with to listen to the lecture, and each place has a specific number indicating which part you should listen to.
For example, here, you should turn the headphones to 4 in order to listen to the "grading program" of the lobster.
Such a big rock lobster to see is already mouth-watering. During the shareholder participation process, you can also see the workers skillfully weighing, packing or handling, they are doing their own work, completely ignoring the curiosity of tourists. At the end of the tour, visitors can also buy freshly baked lobster to taste, which is cheap and delicious.
Talk about the benefits of eating lobster: Lobster is a high-protein, low-fat food, with a protein content of about 16%-20% of the total and a fat content of less than 0.2%. And the fat contained in it is mainly composed of unsaturated fatty acids (fatty acids that are very good for the heart). The content of trace elements such as zinc, iodine and selenium in lobster is higher than that of other foods, and its muscle fibers are delicate and easy to digest and absorb. Shantou people in southern China especially like to eat the top of the head, that is, the part of the lobster's nose.
Stepping out of the lobster factory, I saw this lovely family.
This little guy wasn't afraid of the camera, and with his parents' consent, this cute little photo was a bonus from my trip to the lobster factory.
The family of three is healthy and sunny, like the weather in Western Australia, and there is never a haze. I like it!
Our mount finally showed up, and that was the Pinnacle Tours bus we were on, which was comfortable.
Here's the highlight of this day trip: Pinnacles!
This is the legendary desert spike stonehenge! Thousands of giant limestone pillars rise from the flowing yellow sand, and these spikes of shells have been eroded by millions of years of wind and rain, as if telling the greatness and magic of nature.
The Pinnacles, located in Nambung National Park, 245 kilometres north of Perth, each of the stone peaks has its own characteristics, some like stalagmites, some like sharp knives, some like humps, and they protrude in the flat sand; the highest is 1.5 feet, the smallest is the size of a finger.
Look, these stone camps, do they look like the platoons of the ancient battlefield?
In this desert in the heart of Western Australia, the desolate yellow color has more stories because of these stonehenges.
They've been here for tens of thousands of years! Some people describe these stonehenges as "tombstones in the wilderness", and it is a bit cool to hear this under the scorching desert sun...
They've seen people and cars pass by here, bustle for a while, and then go back into loneliness.
Observation deck. The first sight of the spike stone array is shock; the second eye is discovery; the third eye is close; no matter how much, it seems a little monotonous.
Also come and put on a pose.
Photographing a stone up close really feels like a fossil.
On the way back to Perth from the desert, pass by a beach. A blonde beauty is writing leisurely.
The tour around Perth is so interesting, it was just a piece of yellow, and now it can be close to the blue. Finding shells is the eternal theme of children at the beach.
Finally, we ended the day on a thrilling four-wheeled coach safari.
We sat in the car first, and the car swooped down from a high place in the endless white sand, a bit like the sand rush in Dubai, but at a higher height and more exciting. The people in the car shouted and screamed, and they were shocked.
After that, there's sandboarding. Everyone was given a sandboard that I once experienced at Skyrum Dolphin Island in Queensland.
Some guests, before they could reach the dunes, slipped and fell.
Unlike the Tango Luma sandboarding, here is sitting on the sandboard Mulberry rushing down, unlike in the Tango Luma is lying on the sandboard; personally, this one is better to sit on, at least not to let the pervasive sand drill into the ears and eyes. Slid down the three- or four-story sand dunes, one word "cool."
The day's activities are simply exciting. When night fell, we headed back to Swan River, back to Perth.
The sunset reflects the night in Perth particularly peacefully.
The heart, also swaying with the water of the Swan River...
