Section 125 Dandelion

The staff inside were also wearing 19th-century clothes, making tourists feel as if they were back to the era of gold digging. Shufen Mountain has a glorious history of gold digging. In the 1750s, due to the first gold mine found in Shufen Mountain, it suddenly became lively. A large number of gold digging people came from Europe, America and Asia.

Among them are more than 40,000 Chinese workers from coastal areas such as Yunluoguo and Fujian. They call Shufen Mountain the "New Kings Mountain".

Shufenshan represents the early state of the Ballarat gold mine, which condenses the first takeoff of the Australian economy 150 years ago due to the great development of animal husbandry. Twenty years later, the "gold rush" of Shufenshan mine accelerated the second economic takeoff in Australia's all-round development. It can be said that Shufenshan Gold Mine is the most powerful witness to the economic rise of Australia in this country.

I arrived at Shufen Mountain early and the door was not open yet, so I went to the Golden Museum opposite (g-posted time. The museum was not only showing the pictures and texts of the gold rush at that time, but also showing the pictures and texts of the gold rush at that time. It was a mistake~~~~~~.

There are also some samples of sand gold, gold coins, and gold mines, which can give you a more intuitive understanding of the enthusiasm of local gold hunting 150 years ago. The treasure of the restaurant in this restaurant is lucky gold stone (goodfor slut), which is said to be worth 250,000 Australian dollars. It is still very visible.

There are souvenirs sold outside, and most of the salesmen are Chinese, and foreigners can speak fluent Chinese. Later, I learned that the owner of this museum is Chinese, so it is not surprising. Souvenirs are not cheap, and I am not familiar with the market, so I roughly took a look and didn’t buy them. Friends who want to buy them, please bring enough money.

After watching the video, I officially entered the town. The first thing that caught my eye was a picture from the 18th century, the style of the gold mine, the old mechanical facilities, the old city streets, the old clothes and live performances of employees. It made An Qingju and Yunluo feel like they were back to the era of gold everywhere in Australia 150 years ago.

If the ground facilities in the town allow tourists to feel the life style of people at that time, then the next "gold mine journey" will give you a thorough understanding of the working environment of the miners at that time. It should be noted that since the number of people under the mine needs to be controlled and the roads below are complex, like a maze, individuals are not allowed to go down to visit.

Friends who want to continue still need to find a good guide. Only by being led by him or her can they go to the mine. There is a time limit for going down, which is about 1 hour per shift, so you should consider this when buying tickets in the town to avoid missing this excellent experience.

It feels very good to go down the mine truck, especially when you go down to the mine, the mechanical sound of the mine truck is left without fingers, and the stimulating feeling of the cold wind passing by, screaming one after another. Haha. After about 10 seconds, the car stopped and saw the light again, but the light under the mine is very weak, so timid people should be careful.

The mine is not only dark, but also has many forks. So you must follow the guide, otherwise you will get lost. I guess you can scare yourself according to the situation at that time (there are echoes when walking). If the light breaks again... it will be scared in less than 5 minutes. So if you go, it's better to queue up hand in hand, haha.

If you think this is the mine cart and mine tunnel at that time, it would be a big mistake. These things are all made to facilitate the visit of today's tourists.

The mine cart used to be a duck cage. If an adult man wants to enter, he must squat down and curl up and down. It is common for about a dozen times a day. The mine track is not as wide as it is now, but needs to squat down and stagger forward. So he really uses his life to dig gold.

It is worth recommending a projection short film in the mine. It tells the story of the two Chen brothers who left their hometown to come to Shufen Mountain, Australia to make gold. From the soundtrack to editing to the sublimation of the story content, it is also a good short film. After watching the movie, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken by the tragic fate of the miners at that time.

Still remember the last narration, "Cherish what you have now." Yun Luo thought An Qingju and Yun Luo were happy because they benefited from the wealth they exchanged for their lives.

The reason why I came to gold mines is naturally indispensable. Although everyone knows that it is very difficult, it is quite good to experience the gold rush 150 years ago. An Qingju is naturally very interested and joins the gold rush army without hesitation.

Under the powerful RP, it ends with finding a small golden sand that cannot be smaller:) If friends want to keep a souvenir, they can go to the Golden Museum to buy a bottle of golden sand. Although the thing is small, the key is to participate.

After leaving the gold mine, An Qingju and Yunluo immediately moved towards the next goal. The road is long, hey.

The weather in Mo City is like a child's face, raining and sunny, and sometimes hail comes. It's really a naughty and disobedient child! I don't know how many times I've been in a coma, but finally arrived at the legendary "greatoroad" of the Great Ocean Road. The road surface is very narrow and not very flat, which is really a test for driving skills.

Fortunately, the drivers of An Qingju and Yunluo are good. It is said that this road has been renovated now, and it was even more terrible before. It is normal to have an accident. As a well-known attraction, the only way to go can turn into something like that. It seems that socialism is better~

It is said that the cows here will spontaneously go home every day at a certain time. Due to the large number, there will be a spectacular scene that stretches for hundreds of meters. Unfortunately, when they come back, they flashed by and didn't have time to take a picture of that spectacular scene.

After n hours of trekking, An Qingju and Yunluo finally arrived at the twelve disciples.

Maybe it's because of the sea. The sea breeze is very strong. Although it's sunny, there's still a hint of coolness when you really get to the beach. Friends who are preparing to go recommend that the package be tightly wrapped, and it will be much more costly if you catch a cold.

Everyone knows that the so-called Twelve Disciples are actually twelve large stones, and with the invasion of the sea water, there are only 9 at present, so please hurry up if you want to see the children's shoes. I personally think that the stones have no sense of view, but the sea is quite beautiful, different from the sea you see in Sydney.

The sea here is very imposing. According to experience people, it is actually very ordinary to see below. If you take a helicopter and look above, the effect will be very different. An Qingju and Yunluo came to the helicopter landing port with great enthusiasm and suddenly found that people were gathering there, according to their current operating mode.

I have to wait at least 2 hours, so I have to give up. It is recommended that if you want to try it, book time in advance, which may save some time.

Since the air ticket from Melbourne to the Gold Coast is around 7 a.m., I thought I had to get up at around 4 a.m. and I was afraid that I would not be able to find taxi, so I booked a delivery service from a travel agency. At that time, I asked Yunluo about 120 Australian dollars, and Yunluo also said that Australian travel agencies were inauspicious.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, it was still dawn, and An Qingju and Yunluo were waiting at the entrance of the hotel. Since breakfast started, the hotel gave An Qingju and Yunluo a subway sandwich and a portion of fruit. They wanted to eat some to fill their stomachs first, but after asking for a bite, they had to throw it away: Ice! Alas, who told me that I had a good stomach and didn't have the habit of eating hot food, so I had to admit that I was unlucky.

After a while, the car that picked up An Qingju and Yunluo arrived. The driver happened to be a young man from Sihai City. He has been in Melbourne for more than 4 years. Due to his license, he is still unable to lead a group and can only do some tricks of dropping off the plane.

Perhaps because of his fellow villager, the young man started chatting with Yun Luo. After studying in Sydney, he wanted to find a job in Sydney to settle down, but unfortunately, he went against his wishes and couldn't find an ideal job. Sydney's expenses were too high (the group rent was nearly 80 to 100 yuan a week), and he couldn't find a job in a too small city.

Therefore, we can only stabilize in Melbourne for the time being. As a person from Sihai City, like Yunluo, he is obviously not suitable for the climate of Mo City. However, with the consideration of survival as the premise, he can only try his best to adapt. According to him, although some people have already led the group, they are all overnight bus groups.

(For example, An Qingju and Yunluo flew from Sydney to Melbourne for about 2 hours, and those drivers needed about 12 hours to drive from Sydney to Melbourne, and then drove back to Sydney after the tour was over.) Compared to those people, his hard work was nothing. The temperature in Melbourne in the early morning was very low, and I looked at the young and tired face of the young man (5 years younger than Yunluo).

A sigh arises naturally, it is not easy to work hard abroad alone!

While speaking, nearly half an hour had passed at a speed of about 80 yards. Yun Luo asked suspiciously why the domestic airport in Melbourne was so far away? Sydney was very close. His answer shocked Yun Luo: Sydney's airport is built in the city, while Melbourne's airport is located in the suburbs.

This time, Yun Luo really saved a lot of money. If Yun Luo still had an inertial mind and thought, he would probably not be able to get off the airport without 300 yuan (2000rmb is like this, it is so scary. Whoever tells Yun Luo that taxi is expensive in the Sihai City in the future will Yun Luo be anxious!)

When I got off the bus, I gave the guy a tip of 20 yuan, hoping that he could find a stable and suitable job as soon as possible.

More than three hours later, An Qingju and Yunluo landed at the Gold Coast Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, they wanted to strip themselves naked (the temperature was too high, estimated to be over 30 degrees). Australia is a magical country. Sydney is like spring, Mo City is like winter, and the Gold Coast is like summer (of course, I later learned that Keynes is the real summer).

I believe that in a country, if you have different seasons at the same time, it is probably Australia. As usual, I took the free map and introduction of attractions at the airport and got on the bus to the hotel.

After placing your luggage, An Qingju and Yunluo arrived at their first stop today: Paradise Farm (patry). (To be continued...)
