花東一日遊?! An outing to east coast of Taiwan?!

託友人之福, 某個週末從雪梨開車南下, 往 Wollongon 的方向走走看看.
Wollongon 離雪梨約90公里, 開高速公路約一個小時可達. 這天我們延著海岸線, 途經很平民的"皇家國家公園" (Royal National Park) , 繼續往南延著濱海公路 (Grand Pacific Drive), 參觀了2005年建成, 很狀觀的濱海路橋 (Sea Cliff Bridge), 最後在海港城鎮 Wollongon (不知怎麼唸嗎? 來, 跟我一起: 臥 ~ 龍 ~ 宮~) 結束.
We had an outing from Sydney to Wollongon with Andy's colleague one weekend.
Wolllongon is approx. 90kms south of Sydney, we headed south from Sydney via coast road, and paid a visit to Royal National Park, which is the World's 2nd oldest national park, then followed Grand Pacific Drive to Wollongon, and had a lunch stop at Sea Cliff Bridge.

這區的風景碧海配藍天, 青山配斷崖, 實在太引人鄉愁了...
而另我感觸更深的是在Grand Pacific Drive 的 Sea Cliff Bridge這一段, 這裡原有的舊濱海公路在 2003 年遭落石崩落損毀, 雖未有人員傷亡,  但澳洲當局不再修補舊路, 而是延著海岸線造橋,  免除未來行車者石落車毀之虞, 2005年漂亮的濱海路橋完工, 還很友善的建了人行步道, 讓遊客登橋欣賞海岸風景. 心裡有個衝動想把這一段路橋剪下來, 貼在蘇花公路上... (純屬小國民的天真幻想...)
如果有興趣多了解 Sea Cliff Bridge, 請看網站 http://seacliffbridge.com/
The scenery along the coast is very much alike Taiwan's east coast..., big blue sky and ocean seem extending to the end of the world, high mountains and sharp cliff along the endless coast line...
The most astonished sight to me is Sea Cliff Bridge, it's a pedestrian friendly bridge, tourists can walk on the bridge to appreciate the ocean scenery or even have whale/dolphin watch.

泥說像不像!?

看到這種海港, 應該直接就要去大啖生猛烸鮮的,
但是這裡是澳洲, 只能哀怨的看著菜單上的 fish and chips...
(喔! 這裡是 Wollongon! )

  1. 哇~你去了Wollongon耶,南天寺也在不遠處喔! 11月初才又跟Grand Pacific Drive景區推廣代表Kate碰面,以Wollongon為中心,附近有許多可看可玩的地方哩,印象很深的是有個Illawarra Fly Tree Top Walk,感覺蠻妙的!

    話說蘇花公路,你有聽說一場大雨造成陸客旅行團在那兒傷亡慘重,現在通過環評,就要建蘇花高速公路了,Sea Cliff Bridge的概念不錯,但花東沿岸的地形海象,應該需要更高明的技術吧!!

  2. 多虧了創意旅行社一團的犧牲才讓蘇花高通過,願主與他們同在! 阿門!
    濱海陸橋那張long shot比較像

  3. Hi Phyllis,
    thank you for the informatin of Illawarra, will pay a visit in my next outing ;-)

    To Phyllis & 花蓮媳婦,
    就是看到蘇花的新聞, 又看到這裡的濱海陸橋才有這麼深的感觸, 很遺憾又是要看到流血事件才能立判事情的輕重...
