enzie Falls

6.麥肯齊瀑布

澳大利亞10大自然奇觀(下)

The biggest waterfall in the kangaroo-infested Grampians National Park, a sandstone mountain range that rises from the plains 235 kilometers west of Melbourne. At MacKenzie Falls, water falls 30 meters into a gorge, all year round, and gives off a rainbow mist in the sunshine.

在墨爾本以西235千米的格蘭屏國家公園,袋鼠頻繁出沒,一座砂石山拔地而起,懸下來的巨大瀑布就是麥肯齊瀑布,水簾從30米的高處直瀉而下,匯入峽谷,一年四季都是如此,在陽光下還會產生彩虹。

7.卡卡杜

澳大利亞10大自然奇觀(下) 第2張

Encompassing 20,000 square kilometers of tropical biodiversity, including 1,700 plant species, Kakadu lies 171 kilometers southeast of Darwin. It contains floodplains, tidal flats and rock country. It's covered in Aboriginal rock carvings and, controversially, has a uranium mine.

卡卡杜國家公園坐落於達爾文市東南方向171千米處,佔地20000平方千米,擁有各種各樣的熱帶生物,植物就有1700餘種。它涵蓋泛洪平原、潮坪和圍巖,巖畫、石刻和考古遺址記載了從史前時代到現代仍然居住在這裏的土著居民的生活方式,它還有個倍受爭議的鈾礦。

It's also home to freshwater and saltwater crocodiles, so watch your step.

同時它還是淡水鱷和鹹水鱷的家園,所以要注意腳下哦。

Mountains

8.藍山

澳大利亞10大自然奇觀(下) 第3張

The Blue Mountains are two hours' drive west of Sydney. Eucalyptus oil from gum trees gives the panorama a green hue. From Echo Point, on the ridges of the Great Dividing Range, the limestone rock formation, the Three Sisters, rises from sandstone plateau and 760-meter-deep gorges. It contains some of the world's oldest species of plants — including Wollemi pines, the botanical equivalent of dinosaurs.

從悉尼向西駕車約兩個小時就是藍山。桉樹產出的桉樹油賦予了山景一片蒼翠。在大分水嶺的脊線上有一個回聲谷,三座巨大相連的岩石自沙地平原而起,豎立在山谷的一方,被稱爲“三姐妹”,峽谷深達760米,山裏有世界上最古老的植物物種,包括瓦勒邁杉——和恐龍一個時代的植物。
