我对墨尔本有一种特殊的感情。第一篇有提到,由于妈妈在墨尔本读研,小学三年级暑假也曾被拎过去到本地小学读了两个月书。从一无所知,比手画脚,到一个月内完全理解但说话还磕磕巴巴,不同语言,人种,文化小孩之间的纯真友谊都是我这辈子无法磨灭的深刻回忆。
我当时真的可喜欢这个小哥了,觉得他长得很帅,每天都在跟同学(情敌)讨论今天他做了什么。小孩啊。
说到墨尔本,繁华的街市,甘甜的空气,还有超级无敌震撼的烈风。
The name "Melbourne" refers to an urban agglomerationspanning 9,900 km²
,
which comprises the broader metropolitan area, as well as being the common name for its city centre. The metropolis is located on the large natural bay of Port Phillip and expands into the hinterlands towards the Dandenong and Macedon mountain ranges.
今年冬季由于回国转机便又故地重游了一番。
由于当时还未满十八,搜遍墨尔本各个酒店青旅都不允许单独入住,所以登Airbnb搜寻(一个民宿预定官网,当地人可能会把自己空出来的房间进行短租),运气还不错,搜到了一个市中心新建的公寓而且价格也十分合理。上图就是楼顶观景台所见。
墨尔本早晚温差非常大,有时一整天可以感受四季变化,在那儿一天短袖一天棉袄。还有“妖风”,别穿短裙,雨伞都打不了。建议游客薄厚衣服都适当携带。不过夏季还不算热,但是南半球紫外线普遍强。
Melbourne has a temperate oceanic climate with warm summers and cool winters and is well known for its changeable weather conditions. This is mainly due to Melbourne's location situated on the boundary of the very hot inland areas and the cool southern ocean.
墨尔本非常有名的电车,并且市中心有一块FREE ZONE,在这个区域内怎么搭车都免费。如果需要出这块区域,建议买一张当地交通卡。
FLINDERS STREET RAILWAY STATION
弗林德斯大街车站
市中心标志,核心火车站。
Flinders Street is served by Metro's suburban services, and V/Line regional services to Gippsland. It is the busiest station on Melbourne's metropolitan network and the busiest railway station in Australia.
这条街在联邦广场附近,爱好摄影的朋友可以在此拍摄创意照。每天都有涂鸦爱好者修改墙面或者寻找空地继续完成作品。
ST PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL 圣巴特里爵主教座堂
个人最喜欢的一个教堂,简直婚礼进行最佳圣地。足够大气,奢华,且内设弄弄宗教神圣色彩。
The cathedral is built on a traditional east–west axis, with the altar at the eastern end, symbolising belief in the resurrection of Christ. The plan is in the style of a Latin cross, consisting of a nave with side aisles, transepts with side aisles, a sanctuary with seven chapels, and sacristies.
还有教堂内保留大型管风琴,仍有人在里演奏。
此景已越FREEZONE
从唐人街东端步行五分钟即可到达,或乘坐任何经过 Spring Street 的电车,在 Spring Street 下车之后步行五分钟,或在 Parliament 火车站下车之后步行五分钟。
THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD 大洋路 (作者强推!)
Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial.

最著名的恐怕就是十二门徒了。THE TWELVE APOSTLES
大自然的鬼斧神工塑造了壮阔雄伟的奇景,然而时至今日,十二座岩壁,只剩下7个半,海浪经年累月的冲击使其中的三个已经坍塌。
the harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 50 metres high. Now because of this erosion there are fewer than ten remaining.

但是除了十二门徒石,沿路风景与最后观景点也十分震撼。
