Hobart - our brief travel review 霍巴特旅遊小記

After the Tasmanian East Coast we arrived in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania.  遊完塔斯曼尼亞東岸便來到塔斯首府城市霍巴特。 Heritage buildings 歷史建築 As the second oldest city in modern Australia, Hobart city centre is full of reminders of its history and there are plenty of signs explaining the historical significance of various sites. One deserving a special mention is the Golding's corner which has been occupied by the same jeweller Golding & Son since 1875. 霍巴特是現代澳洲歷史第二悠久的城市,市中心保留了多年來的建築物之餘,也豎立了不少解釋各建築物歷史的說明牌,值得一提的是Golding's Corner,該街角由1875年起為Golding & Son珠寶店一直至今。 Golding & Son Jewellers at Golding's corner Golding's corner的珠寶店 More photos of Hobart's historical buildings: 更多霍巴特歷史建築照片: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJr80u4nvyQ/?igshid=wegkpivftv7i Sunday market 星期日市集 We missed the famous Saturday Salamanca market by a few hours upon arrival but managed to visit the other Sunday Farm Gate Market  which featured stalls of local fresh and artisanal p...

文明地遊菲辛那國家公園 A quick visit to Freycinet National Park

We waited for more than 5 hours to be picked up by a day tour to Freycinet National Park starting from and ending in Hobart so that we could get to Hobart in the evening. 沒想到這個旅程我們完全租不到車——初時是無供應,後來是太貴——猶幸坐長途巴士也能解決問題,只不過是時間多了掣肘。由 比奇諾 出發往下一站Coles Bay,只有06:30一班車,之後在Coles Bay等5個鐘,上了一個起點和終點皆是霍巴特的菲辛那國家公園一天團,好讓我們當晚能抵達霍巴特。 To while away time my wife watched over our luggage while watching videos, allowing me to undertake an almost 2-hour stroll along the Muirs Beach there. I didn't appreciate at that time, but the ridge flanking one side of the bay was on fact the hills within Freycinet National Park.  要打發五小時,內子邊看視像邊看管行李,讓我可獨個在Muirs Beach沙灘蹓躂差不多兩小時。我當時不知,從沙灘一端看到另一端的山脈,就是菲辛那國家公園內的幾座山。 ...
