Bicheno - our one-day stop in the Tasmanian East Coast 比奇諾——塔斯曼尼亞東岸小鎮的兩夜一日

After Launceston my wife and I made a stop in the Tasmanian East Coast town of Bicheno just as what this 'Just Stop' sign told us to do! 離開朗塞斯頓後,我和太太來到塔斯曼尼亞東岸小鎮比奇諾,既然鎮內貼了好幾張寫了Just Stop的標語,我們也樂意從命! The coastline 海岸線 Bicheno is more than a normal run-of-the-mill seaside town. It has a long rugged coastline which is best experienced at the Bicheno Blowhole where the incoming waves get squeezed between the rocks and spouted out through the blowhole in a spray. One can spend endless time catching the most spectacular jets of water gushing out of the whole while admiring at the sea on the rock platform. 比奇諾擁有一條長而嶙峋的海岸線,景色不是一般海濱小鎮能比擬。鎮內東南面海岸,有一個噴水洞,當海浪拍岸時,水便擠進石隙再透過該洞噴射出來,在石灘一邊守候最壯觀的水幕一邊放眼四周海景,足讓人消磨不少時間。 But with such a long stretch of rocky coastline, walking by the sea was mostly no walk in the park.

Launceston - our brief travel review 朗塞斯頓——小小旅遊心得

My wife and I went on a trip to Tasmania after Christmas, and here's a short wrap-up on our first stop, Launceston.  聖誕後和內子到塔斯曼尼亞旅遊一週,現在為行程第一站朗塞斯頓作個小結吧。 Heritage buildings 古蹟 The third oldest city in modern Australia, Launceston city centre is dotted with living heritage buildings which still function as shops and offices. Launceston's General Post Office, in particular, deserves a special mention for its chime every 15 minutes during day time and striking the clock every hour, so it's impossible to miss the time around town! 朗塞斯頓是現代澳洲歷史第三久的城市,市中心活古蹟處處,現時不少仍是商店和辦公室,值得一提的是當地郵政總局,日間每15分鐘報時,全日則每小時敲鐘,保證你在市內一定知到時間!
