For accommodation reservations in stanley, you can refer to Yunluo’s previous departure preparation post. The only thing to note is that all reservations require a visit to the town’s stanleyhotelcheckin. The lady who is warm and kind, helping An Qingju and Yunluo provide useful information on nearby wildlife and buying big lobsters.
An Qingju and Yunluo’s residence today is an independent sea view: abbeysspacottage. This small villa has three bedrooms, a living room, a two-person spa and jacuzzi bathtub, an open kitchen with oven, induction cooker and other complete kitchenware. The room has a washing machine and dryer, which is really tailor-made for An Qingju and Yunluo. The furnishings in the house are classic and exquisite, full of warm atmosphere. An Qingju and Yunluo are very satisfied with this set of hou color. They throw the clothes accumulated in a few days into the washing machine before leaving, and they can dry it when they come back in the evening.
After cleaning up, An Qingju and Yunluo went out and headed to the aquatic shop in the town. You could see the eye-catching red lobsters on the roof from afar. When you came to the store, the lobsters were all lively and they wanted to take them all. Today's price: fresh lobsters below 2kg, 65 knots above 2kg, and 50 knots frozen. Here I would like to remind you that lobsters cooked on ice that day were also considered fresh lobsters. But why is this price much more expensive than the lobsters you buy at the Sydney fish market? Is it really "better than gathering places"? What is the real result? The answer will be revealed in the Sydney chapter.
After buying the lobster, I went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. Today's dinner was ready. Put these ingredients back to the residence. Go to the Nut early. It was already five o'clock when I arrived at Nut, and the cable car station was about to get off work, so I only bought a one-way cable car ticket for 5 dollars per person.
When I came to the mountain, the wind was significantly increased and the scenery was of course better. I traveled around the path along the mountain. The strange pits on the road attracted Yun Luo's attention.
At that time, I only knew that this was a kind of seabird's nest, and it was possible to see them at night. Later, after a lot of detailed, meticulous, meticulous and patient information collection, it turned out that this was the nest of short-tailed gulls short-tailed shooting arwaters. These birds flew to the Arctic in April every year, and flew back to stanley to breed offspring around September. It took 6 weeks to migrate one way and over 15,000 kilometers. During this process, they never docked, so scientists could not know about them.
Migration route. When the breeding season comes, they will dig holes on the surface until 1 meter deep underground. After laying eggs, the male and female birds will start to hatch eggs in turn and change on Mondays. When the birds are born, they will feed the birds to the size of two adults, and then fly away from here in early April to the Arctic. From early April to early May, these chicks no longer feed, and their weight gradually drops by half, and their wings begin to fill. 2-3 weeks after their parents leave, these inexperienced chicks will fly into the sky and begin their journey to the Arctic.
The wind on the top of the mountain is constantly increasing. It is already a little hard to open your eyes. The grass on the top of the mountain is whistling. Such a wind should be at level 8 or 9. When you look at Nut from a distance, you feel that this is a small hill, but who knows it takes time to walk on it.
As we gradually descended to the woods in the mountains, the wind finally became much smaller. Suddenly, the abnormal noise in the bushes attracted the attention of An Qingju and Yunluo. Bent down to look at the woods, and felt a sense of ecstasy. It can be said that this was a major discovery in the history of stanley zoology in the 21st century: An Qingju and Yunluo actually met several kangaroos on the small Nut Mountain. On the road in Tasmania, An Qingju and Yunluo saw countless kangaroos who died in car accidents, but they had never had the chance to see them jumping around. I thought that this trip to Tada Island would completely miss the kangaroos, but I didn't expect that the miracle would eventually appear in the most incredible place - the steep and narrow Nut Mountain.
The scientific name of this type of wallaby is pademolon, which comes from the vocabulary of local indigenous people. Unlike the kangaroo that An Qingju and Yunluo often say, kangaroo, this wallaby is much smaller in size, about 1 meter long and weighs up to 12kg. They mainly live in the woods and only come to the clearings not far from the forest at dusk. It is a species unique to Tasmania. After catching this group of kangaroos for a long time, An Qingju and Yunluo reluctantly leave the woods.
When we returned to "home", we started to cook again. Today, the chefs are two. Friends are responsible for washing clothes and then dealing with Yunluo with lobsters. After a while, a sumptuous dinner was set on the dining table to praise the hard-working friends and the children, and take a photo quickly.
This Tasmanian lobster is really not covered, it tastes delicious, especially the meat in the shrimp legs has a umami and a faint sea smell. It is eaten in the mouth with a sucking suck. It is the best part of the lobster that Yunluo thinks is the most delicious part of the lobster. There is really a lot of meat on the lobster, and An Qingju and Yunluo didn't finish it. What should I do? Finally, Yunluo has the opportunity to appear, and I want to know what the fate of the lobster is.
At this time, night had already fallen, and An Qingju and Yunluo decided to start trying the secret weapons in the room. The backyard and the foyer were piled with wood like a hill. If you don't need it, you would feel sorry for them. Why do you do with them? Don't tell Yunluo to use it for a mattress. Well, the answer is revealed because there is a real fireplace "located" in An Qingju and Yunluo's living room. On such a "warm and cold" night, it is time to make it serve the people. Put the more ignited wooden strips in the fireplace and put two pieces of ignition materials. As soon as the matches approached, the fire started to rise. Next, I greeted the fine wood, medium wood, thick wood, and anyway, it was all wood.
After putting this down, Yunluo should cook. Looking at the remaining rice and the ingredients for celery today, Yunluo is confident, so he came to a seafood porridge bar that people in South China like to watch. However, the ingredients of Anqingju and Yunluo are more powerful, so it is more appropriate to call it "Tasmanian lobster porridge". Boil the porridge, put the lobster head cut by a friend, and stir it from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan. Because it is cooked rice, it can be released in 10 minutes. At this time, the porridge has turned golden yellow. Put some celery leaves instead of coriander when it is released. If there are two slices of ginger when it is cooked, it will be perfect.
On such a cool summer night, half leaning on the sofa, drinking the steaming and sweet lobster porridge, the flames of the fireplace jump happily, the fresh sea breeze blows out of the window, and the sea water is deep and calm under the moonlight. Oh my God, is there a more comfortable life than this!
Yesterday's day in Stanley made Yunluo feel unsatisfied, so he got up early and drove to the dock of the town to find out. The dock of the town is not big, and there is also a RV camping site around. When approaching the dock, he found a lobster factory. Most of the lobsters should be sent to various places through this factory.
On the pier, several fishermen attracted Yun Luo's attention. When they stepped forward, they found that they had gained something - the fresh big squid, which made Yun Luo feel itchy. I wonder if there was still a chance to try sea fishing during this trip.
The signboard at the pier tells people the common fish and fishing regulations here. The ruler below can help you measure whether the fish you catch meets the regulations. In the sea of Tasmania, you do not need to buy licen color except for specific varieties, but don’t forget to buy licen color when fishing in freshwater.
Today I have to walk back and go east along Basshwy, pass the town that An Qingju and Yunluo passed by yesterday and go directly to Devonport, the third largest city in Tasmania. If you choose to take the "Tasmanian Spirit" cruise ship from Melbourne to visit Tasmania, then this is the docking place of the ship. After driving and wandering here for a while, An Qingju and Yunluo drove south to a very distinctive town and Shefield shooting a ffield. Following B14 Highway, the sides have returned to pastoral scenery. Suddenly, a very distinctive pavilion attracted An Qingju and Yunluo, so I parked and found out.
At noon, An Qingju and Yunluo came to the mural town of Shefield. The town was nothing special at that time. I don’t know who came up with an idea to let the painter paint on the walls of the town’s houses. Over time, the characteristics here have been formed. There are about 50 murals in the town, and near the town is the mural park with the most concentrated murals.
