OReillys Rainforest Retreat
Set forth on an adventure in the hinterland, where World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park resides. There’s no better guide to the area than ecotourism pioneers O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat.
After a day spent traversing the natural landscape, watch the sunset over the western McPherson Ranges, from one of 48 self-contained villas perched on the hillside.

There is an unofficial photography competition going on between Simon and I. It's time to settle it, once and for all. The winner gets out of dishes for a week 😲.
Let us know which photo of the Bungle Bungle Range is your favourite by liking👍the photo.
The World Herritage listed Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is the first place we hit when we got into WA.
We packed the swags, kids and esky and spent two nights in this majestic part of Western Australia.
We put in a huge day and hiked close to 10km overall including Harrison (5)👏. We kicked it off with Mini Palms Gorge, then into Echidna for the middle of the day and wrapped things up at Cathedral Gorge.
We can't wait to see what the next 6 months in WA looks like. If this is anything to go by, it's going to be EPIC🤩.
God's left pink roses, take the girl's heart to start Pink Lake
only a very small number of women, can resist the romance of Pink Lake. Nature has poured a girl's heart into it, half pink, half of the sea, and the wonderful landscape makes people intoxicated. Pink Lake, like a strawberry milk, is a large production area for the circle of friends. After the sister verification, I will tell you: it is really powder, not PS!
Pink Lake's official name is actually called "Spencer Lake", but the name "Pink Lake" is more familiar. Compared to Lake Hillier and Hutt Lagoon, Pink Lake is not so well known. Although her name is Pink Lake, it is not pink for most of the time. Only when the weather conditions are right, the lake will show some pink, and the highly dense salt-tolerant algae in the lake is the cause of the pink lake.
So the most direct "Pink Lake" of this name is actually the most unworthy one. If you want to see the pink lake, maybe it will disappoint you here. However, since I came to Esperance, it is better to come here and try my luck. After all, Pink Lake is not as far-sighted as Hillier. The lake is surrounded by a circle of sandy beaches and eucalyptus trees with beautiful scenery.
Walk to the Lake Lookout to see the huge salt piles and the best views. A pair of sunglasses on the front of the camera will create an amazing effect, with a polarizing filter for better results.
Good luck, I am lucky to see the pinkest pink lake!
Tango.

The sea water in Coffin Bay is naturally pure and unpolluted, and the natural conditions and microclimate are very suitable for the growth and reproduction of oysters. The Pacific oysters produced here are famous all over the world. Put on your waders and rubber clothes, stand in the sea, feel the salty sea breeze blowing through your hair, listen to the oyster farmers talk about oyster farming, and learn how to open oysters on site. Enjoy the fun of opening and tasting oysters in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The highlight is that you can eat freshly caught oysters while standing in the water. The freshness is beyond words!

One of my favorite beaches! Crystal clear sea, little fish swimming around your feet, you can walk for more than hours along the beach and you can still walk in shallow water.
Kids can play kayak and they have so much fun!
Guess where is it? Flaherty Beach in South Australia
Better to drive 4-wheels so that you can park at the beach and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

Nestled between Hallstätter See and the Dachstein mountains is Hallstatt, Austria’s oldest and perhaps its most photographed village. This stunning European town features beautiful old churches, a subterranean salt lake, a museum with 7,000 year old artifacts and a glass-like lake set against the breath-taking backdrop of soaring mountains.

What is the experience of eating oysters directly in the sea?
Coffin Bay is a small town on the southwest coast of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. The oysters produced are famous for being cultivated in natural, pure and pollution-free seawater. Covent Bay offers a variety of different types of Covent Bay oyster farms, we can wear waterproof boots from the beach to the sea, and experience the fun of fishing in Covent Bay. The farm's narrator will pick up the oysters from the farm and immediately pluck the oyster shells, inviting visitors to taste the fresh and add a little seafood-like oysters. Or take a fishing boat out to sea, visit the oyster farm in the middle of the sea, and enjoy freshly caught oysters and other seafood on board.

Kangaroo Island, Kangaroo Island, the safari park without guardrails, remember the place where you would like to bring your child to the first time. The entire island area is equivalent to seven Singapore or four Hong Kong. The island has only 5-6 police officers. There are no traffic lights and exclusive traffic police on the island. More than half of the island's vegetation is native forest, and a quarter of the area is designated as a national park, conservation park and nature reserve.
The formation of the flagship arch (Admirals Arch) is very strong due to the erosion of the raging waters over the years. About 10 days before and after coming to Australia, the 12th disciple on the Great Ocean Road encountered the worst weather. Today, Kangaroo Island also encountered the best weather in South Australia for nearly two months. The blue sky and blue sea are unobstructed.
Magic Rock Remarkable Rocks, lifelike shape tempered by thousands of years of wind and rain, towering upright on the granite dome. Looking at these huge rocks that stand in the middle of the sea, under the sculptural carvings of the sea breeze, the rock formations are strange and amazing.
Seal Bay, known as the home of Australian sea lions, is the only place in Australia where visitors can get close to the beach on the beach. Here you can see the interesting pictures of sea lions swimming in the waves and sunbathing on the beach. I really like to see them all stout and fleshy, and they are still awkward and super cute.

On the last day of the Eyre Peninsula, I went to Coventry Bay National Park. The car, along the dense forest road, has been rushing from the bushes from time to time.
The end of the road, the eyes suddenly open, it is the charming blue, deep and shallow, layered, changing colors. The sea of Australia is so beautiful that it has never lived up to it.
I am alone, walking along the long sandy beach, wanting to see the other side of the reef, hiding what kind of heaven and earth. On the other side of the sea, it is still the sea, just met the Michael family fishing. A car, a dog, two people who love each other, so simple and pure happiness, envy.
Michael said that this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, with groups of dolphins chasing the shore in the summer. Still regretting the winter at the moment, I have to lose my hand. When bidding farewell, the dark shadows of the waves were present, and a large group of dolphins chased the waves and played.

Kangaroo Island is not big, it is only 7-8 Singapore's size?
can be said to be small and small, especially the entire island presents a long and narrow gourd-shaped arrangement. Its Panitcho Pier is located in the almost easternmost position, while most of the natural landscape is located on the west side of the island, so it is six hours a day. Going back and forth on both sides of the island, I am really exhausted.
There are only 4 towns in the whole island, which are mainly concentrated in the east. We choose to live in the central part of Kingscote. The town is built on a gentle hillside facing the peaceful bay. Neat, we live alone in a two-story small house. Although we are small, we feel that one side of the world belongs to ourselves. It is warm and interesting. Unfortunately, we went out early and late on Kangaroo Island for two nights. We cant enjoy the island. Simple life.
It is said that the Englishman Matthew came here in 1802 and ate kangaroo meat, so it was straightforward to name the island Kangaroo Island.
However, kangaroos are used to being dispatched at night, and it is not easy to meet them during the day, except for the amount of hanging on the road. Its hard to meet a fortune in the beach camp in the extreme west. Of course, I cant let it go. Im taking pictures and videos right away, and Ill say it down.
We walked along a straight country road, turning one after another winding, with thousands of bays, pastures, and woods shining in front of us.

Vion Bay Vivonne Bay
There are a lot of photographer friends who have been to South Australia before. The aerial photos show the beauty of Vienne Bay. However, we actually got a little unexpected afterwards. It seems that it is not the same as the picture. Because the seaweed is everywhere, the photos are all looking for a slightly clean place and the angle is controlled. I don't know if it is related to the season and the tide. However, in general, it is still very natural and quiet. If you have enough time, it is not bad.
Stokes Bay Stokes bay
This place should be highlighted, the sand is soft and quiet enough, because to reach this beach, you must pass through the rock in the picture below, from the natural stone Passing through the gap, the narrow place can only accommodate the next person, and some rocks are still sharp, need to be careful.
But once you cross the rock, you will suddenly become more and more cheerful. The crescent-shaped beach, white to reflective sand, calmer sea... If you have enough time, really want to sunbathe here to swim, of course Its great to have a picnic on the beach.
Emu Bay
Many people come to Kangaroo Island and only go south. I would rather go back to the original road and return, and I will not go back from the north line. I really dont understand you. The best beaches in Kangaroo Island in my mind are on the northern line, as the locals say. For example, Stokes Bay above and this Emu Bay, I like it very much, a beautiful beach, a beautiful sea, and there are many sea view hotels or B&Bs near Tsuen Wan. It is also good to stay here.

The wind in the Pacific Ocean is accompanied by the wine taste of South Australia. Unconsciously holding the glass and closing your eyes, you will be intoxicated in the autumn. The fruit flavor in the wine is very special, always reminds people of the first love. It feels so good, doesn't talk, looks at the blue sea, South Australia is a free place, once the center of Australia's independence, there is a livable city of Adelaide, and a "fenceless zoo" Kangaroo Island is a pleasant surprise. Self-driving in the national parks of South Australia, in addition to the blue big overseas that suddenly appeared at the end of the road, there are leisurely walks such as baboons and kangaroos. It is said that the seafood in Covent Bay, especially the oysters, is so mouth-watering that the experience of sitting on the farm and eating and eating is a special experience. During the eight-day trip to South Australia, there are cities, gardens, seas, animals and glutinous meals. Come and sit down and have a bottle of wine from South Australia to talk slowly.

On the way back to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island will pass through the Fleurieu Peninsula on the Phil Peninsula. In addition to the vast and magnificent coastline, there is the McLaren Vale, one of the five most famous wine regions in South Australia. In addition, it is only about an hour's drive from Adelaide. It is not only a destination that tourists like, but also a resort for locals.
The scenery of this road is not a jungle vine, it is a beautiful coastline, it is really comfortable to drive.
The most recommended is a very hot beach on the ins, the wooden plank road is very suitable for taking pictures~ but the wind is very big, remember to grab the hat~

The trip to South Australia is the most unsatisfactory, not the Port Lincoln National Park. The pristine forests, the plains of the wilderness, the splendid sunsets, the kangaroos swarming around, and the koalas on the branches look around.
is a national park, but it is actually a private territory. The lord is a 70-year-old British old man, a man, a dog, guarding the land. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of this land and enjoy a wine afternoon tea in the wilderness under the sunset. At that moment, the light and shadow are so beautiful, everyones face is a happy and satisfied look.

JAMIE'S ITALIAN is a branch of British chef JAMIE OLIVER in Australia. He is very envious of Italian traditional culture and life and cooking methods. The goal of this Italian restaurant is to bring you quality, authentic and affordable Italian cuisine. . I used to watch his TV show. When I opened the Australian branch, I also held a food show for the draft. It was similar to the PK system of the 2018 style. The chef of this store was the one chosen at that time. The
menu is all in English. Download the translation software and use the translation function to translate. Basically, you can understand the approximate meaning and solve the problem of ordering. The pasta here is made on the spot. I ordered a famous plate with the famous tomato and shrimp noodles. It has a hot and spicy taste. It tastes fresh and appetizing. If there are more people, you can order more. Try it, such as fresh crabmeat spaghetti, squid sauce pasta or Italian paella, and three types of burdock, the price is 28.5 Australian dollars, 36 Australian dollars and 45 Australian dollars, 12-14 desserts The Australian dollar can be varied, in addition to salads, snacks and the like, the price is about 7.5-10 Australian dollars.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the waiters and chefs here are all white and handsome white guys. They are very eye-catching and very talkative. If you are good at English, you can have a pleasant chat with them.

Coffin Bay Oyster Farm
Come to the Eyre Peninsula. One of the most important things to miss is visit the oyster farm and taste the freshest oysters that have just emerged.
So we booked the oyster farm recommended by South Australia Tourism Ambassador Huang Xiaoming today~ Taste the same.
The so-called oyster "farm" is actually a place for breeding oysters. It is not far from the shore. Below the rows of shelves, it is raw saplings.
Experiencing the taste of the wine, everyone needs to wear special rubber clothes, walk directly into the sea, sit in the breeding area, listen to the owner of the farm to introduce the knowledge of breeding oysters, while tasting the wine and freshly harvested oysters.
You can also experience the process of salvage and reclamation, and the oysters that have just come out of the water are more delicious!
In fact, most of the oysters cultured here are Pacific oysters, which are not expensive species in themselves, but because of the purity of the water here, the quality of oysters is better.
As for the taste of the oysters that have just come out of the water, you have to wait for it to taste it yourself.

Sellicks Beach is located on the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, about 50 kilometres drive from downtown Adelaide.
Selix Beach is part of Adelaide's long coastline and is connected to Edinde Beach to the north. Seliks Beach is crystal clear, the beach is delicate, and the towering cliffs of the sea are spectacular. There are many beaches in Australia, and Selex Beach is not the most beautiful, but this beach is very special, because the sand of this beach is very strong, you can drive into the beach and enjoy the fun of surfing the beach.

Kangaroo Island, south of Adelaide, is also known as Kangaroo Island. It is arguably the most famous tourist destination in South Australia, and South Australia was named one of the top 10 best places to visit in 2017 by Lonely Planet. The island has a lot of credit.
Kangaroo Island is a large island with a total area of about 4,400 square kilometers, equivalent to 3.5 Chongming Island or 1/8 Hainan Island, and the resident population is less than 5,000. The island is ecologically well preserved, wild. There are many kinds of plants and animals, and there is no bridge or tunnel connection between Kangaroo Island and South Australia. It can only be transported by ferry or plane. The fare is not cheap. The traffic is inconvenient, the population is sparse, and the picturesque scenery makes Kangaroo Island more like a real outdoor. Taoyuan.
If you have not been to Kangaroo Island for a trip to Adelaide, it will definitely leave regrets.

Adelaide is the capital of South Australia. Although it is the fifth largest city in Australia, it is also known as the 20-minute city.
Small and exquisite downtown, spacious roads, a dazzling pedestrian street, it is said that in Adelaide, you can drive from the city to the end within 20 minutes.
Adelaide has monuments such as the Anglican Cathedral and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The University of Adelaide and the Museum of Natural History are located. The Adelaide International Arts Festival is held here every two years since 1960.

I highly recommend Tsuen Wan on Kangaroo Island!
Clear sea water and winding beaches have always been the characteristics of Tsuen Wan. It is also one of the few beaches on Kangaroo Island that allows vehicles to enter, even if it is not a four-wheel drive.
But even so, Tsuen Wan is as sparsely populated as other beaches in the northern part of Kangaroo Island. It is super suitable for driving and taking pictures. But this is one of the best places to swim on Kangaroo Island.
In Tsuen Wan, although I didnt see you, I met a group of free swimming.

Located in the heart of the Mourvdre vineyards of the Kalimpong winery, the Kalimpong Rubik's Cube reinvents the centuries-old winery of Kalimpong, with its surrealistic surrealist exterior, strolling through the vineyards in front of the Rubik's Cube. Under the sunlight, the Rubik's Cube is like a giant crystal that is crystal-clear, creating a illusion that the building floats over the vineyards. Kalimpong Fortress is one of the most important wineries in the McLaren Vale.
1912, Joseph Osborne and Thomas Hazy and his son jointly purchased the Milton Vineyards in the McLaren Vale, which began the history of Kalimpong.
When the 1960s, Kalimpenberg wines received wide recognition and recognition; in the 1970s, they became the innovators of the wine trend and gained many poles in less than 20 years. Meaningful international and domestic awards.
Today, the fourth generation family winemaker in Berlin, Chester Osborne, has produced a reputable handmade wine.
