In Sydney, sign in the famous Sydney Opera House, sign in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, buy an Australian lobster at a 8.5% discount in the fish market and ask the boss for Sichuan food.
Friend, is it stupid to sign in at work, and it limits your imagination at nine to six? Do you know where Australians go to play when they get off work at four or five o'clock every day?
The last time we played an amusement park on the Gold Coast (< three amusement parks a day in this city of Australia >), in a twinkling of an eye, we were all middle-aged and greasy, and went to Sydney. There was a scene of capitalism in deep flames.
The 18-hole golf course next to Rose Bay, the famous rich area, played at A $10 (about 50rmb) a day, accompanied by retired Chinese coaches of the national team, possibly by Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing.
It doesn't count. You spend less time enjoying your life. It took you more than an hour to drive three kilometers from Shanghai to dinner with a friend who has taken her home in an hour in a yacht.
Well, it's a good place to spend the rest of your life.
In addition to the Phnom Penh-encrusted art-rich area of Rose Bay, Sydney has plenty of hidden reclusive places for locals. Here are two: parrot Island and Royal National Park.
1. Parrot Island (Cockatoo Island, also translated as Kirktu)

A ferry ride from circular wharf or Barangaroo to parrot island, full of passengers, makes one wonder if the havens in the centre of the city have fallen, too? Then it was found that there were only two or three people disembarking on the island of parrot, and all the men in the boat continued to sail steeply towards the centre of the city.
Nautilus Island is in Sydney Port, closest to the city centre, and stands on the tennis court in the center of the island to enjoy the scenery and sea view of the whole city of Sydney. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is only suitable for the background, and instantly wants to send out the low-key and luxurious Time line.
When there are few people, the whole mental state is easy to get up to. Through a tunnel with historical traces, to a place full of khaki-stone walls and blue skies, (Convict Precinct), the prisoner area, retains the prison at the time.
In 1839, it was a small island of exiled British prisoners, and more than 300 prisoners took 11 years to cut rocks. The island of parrot, surrounded by sea and shark infestation, was hopeless to the prisoners at the time.
After the prisoner moved out, the island built a craftsmanship school and a girls' correctional centre, followed by a dockyard factory that crossed World War I and World War II, empty and exposed to a sense of desolation in internal history.
If you like history, you can also go to Biloela House, a small museum to commemorate the island's prosperous shipbuilding industry, in the island's exhibition area, (Historical Residence Precinct). The view from house, like a fresh oil painting, still smelled like paint.
By the side door of Biloela House, the greenery dabbled up along the khaki-yellow brick wall, and the sun shone as if it had arrived in Tuscany. This is also a place on the World Heritage list.
Drifting aimlessly for a while, the abandoned industrial wind house encountered on the way, feel very much. The route is easy to get into chaos, the scenery is beautiful, life is full of hope on the way forward.
From the high down is the former storage of ships warehouse, the outside of the warehouse is a small port with its own Japanese filters, beautiful!
The hillside of the Windows desktop, facing the sea, is neatly lined with tents, where locals like to camp.
Besides, the most numerous birds on parrot island are seagulls! Surprise or surprise, I am not surprised! Once the seagulls were fresh and fat for a reason, they immediately entered panic, the island's only cafe, societe overboard caf é, which was dominated by the seagulls. Office humans' first interaction with nature is likely to be to reprimand a seagull trying to eat.
2, Royal National Park (Royal National Park)
Compared to the wild seagulls on parrot island, animals are very friendly in this royal and national park. All the missing parrots on parrot island appeared here.
Wild ducks hatch a nest of ducklings and take them for a walk by the lake, undisturbed; there are many nests in the tree, and when you sit down there, the birds fly to you, and you are not a human being at all.
This is the Royal National Park, which is rarely known, covering an area of 150 square kilometers. Well, it is the second national park in the world where no one cares, and the first one is Yellowstone Park in the United States.
-Watermora Beach, (Wattamolla Beach)-
Visitors to Sydney's 30-kilometer eastern coastline of Royal National Park cannot rely on public transport, and even self-driving coastal attractions that can reach directly are probably just Wattamolla and Garie beaches.
Sydney's bay is so resource-rich that it's tiring to walk between beaches, Wattamolla Beach can jump out of it and it's amazing about a river flowing to the sea. The beach is connected with the blue waves of the lake, one side connected to the surging sea!
Because the river flow is not big, often cut off, become a lake, green, flow through it to reach the beach. The beach side reclines against the forest, green trees blind the day, can hear the waterfall, fresh Yi Ran.
-Figure 8 Pool-
Beneath a headland cliff in Royal National Park, there is a foundation stone, as the tide of the waves looms. Above the cornerstone is a natural 8-word pool that has been created for tens of thousands of years.
The 8-word pool is at the tip below the headland, and when the sea ebbs, the 8-word lake will reveal its true appearance. But even at the ebb of the water, there was a wave or two, and it was more like an adventure.
-tofu (Wedding Cake Rock)-
Walking along the Royal National Park's coastal trekking route passes through a very "delicious" scenic spot-wedding Cake Stone. The blue sea set off the milky rock with great sanctity. There was a feeling of standing by the sea of Aegean, Greece.
Naturally formed, but extremely fragile, because of the special texture of this rock, it is very likely that the next 10 years will collapse without warning, to go before the early ah!
Tips:
- Parrot Island: free and full-day, suitable for camping, the island's tennis courts open to the outside world, need to make an appointment in advance;
- Royal National Park: ticket 11 Australian dollars / car, suitable for hiking.
