Namadgi National Park
纳麦基国家公园
澳大利亚首府领地有不少灌林或公园地，如堪培拉自然公园(Canberra Nature Park )和纳麦基国家公园(Namadgi National Park)等，故堪培拉亦被喻为灌木首都。你可以参加观光团，或自行租车探险。纳麦基国家公园是个值得一游的奇特高原，有大森林和草原、野花，还有很多袋鼠在此聚居。
纳麦基国家公园是澳大利亚东南面最大、最深及最少外界干扰的天然湿地，差不多是40％的首都领地面积。其中的重要宝藏包括长度达150公里的多条漫步径，其中一条到YankeeHat石窟的最受游客欢迎，石窟布满原始抽象人类图案，是当地土着的石刻艺术遗址。
在纳麦基国家公园（Namadgi National Park），您可欣赏到叹为观止的壮丽风光。
Namadgi National Park is situated just south of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. For travellers between Cooma and Canberra Namadgi provides a rewarding scenic detour through majestic mountain terrain.
The park sits on the northern end of the Australian Alps with snowfalls likely in the winter months， mainly on the higher areas of the Brindabella and Bimberi Ranges.
Namadgi has a wide variety of flora and fauna in habitats ranging from grassy green valleys to stunning mountains shrouded with snow gums and bold granite outcrops. Kangaroos， wallabies， and wombats can be seen throughout the park. Commonly seen birds include magpies， crimson rosellas， pied currawongs， Australian Ravens and the spotted quailthrush.
Aboriginal paintings which were painted over a period of hundreds or possibly thousands of years can be seen at Yankee Hat Rock. The close grouping of art and ceremonial sites in the Namadgi ranges suggests this area was of special significance to Aboriginal people.
170 km of marked walking trails cover the park allowing Bushwalkers to really appreciateappreciate vt.赏识， 鉴赏， 感激 vi.增值， 涨价 the beauty of Namadgi.

All parties planning to visit the remote areas should be well prepared and record details of their trip in the bushwalking registers located at the visitor centre and elsewhere in the park.
Camping grounds with toilets are located at Orroral and Mt Clear. There is a three night limit and bookings may be made at the Visitor Centre. Picnic areas are located beside most roads some with fireplaces and toilets.
It，s a pretty drive from the centre of Canberra to the start of the walk at a locked gate at Mount Ginini， via Cotter， Brindabella and Mount Franklin Roads， including 33 km of unsealed road.
Park here and follow the fire trail past Pryors Hut， a 1950s alpine hut， and take the next track on the right for a steepish one kilometre walk to the summit through windstunted snow gums and granite outcrops.
Search among the boulders at the summit for dry， dark， narrow crevices protected from the wind - the moths will be so densely packed they will look like a layer of fungi. A torch will help you pick them out.
Far down in the valleys to the south is the Yankee Hat rock shelter， where each year for centuries up to 500 Aborigines at a time gathered to feast on moths and perform traditional rites. The shelter contains the region，s most accessibleaccessible adj.易接近的， 可到达的， 易受影响的， 可理解的 rock art， depicting kangaroos， dingoes and birds.
Namadgi takes up all the bits of the ACT that Canberra doesn，t； that is， most of the southwest. Part of the park borders the mountainous Kosciuszko National Park in NSW，s Snowy Mountains. There are seven peaks over 1600m (5248ft) in the park， and some of the bushwalking is downright challenging. Booroomba Rocks is one of the most popular spots in the park， with some great climbing and scrambling over its huge granite boulders. Sometimes there，s enough snow in Namadgi for crosscountry skiing.
The park has a visitor information centre， or you can pick up brochures from the Canberra visitor information centre. There are several picnic sites and two campsites - you，re not permitted to camp outside these. You can either get to the park in your own car on the road south from Tharwa to Adaminaby， or take a tour with one of a couple of operators in Canberra.
Bondi Beach
邦戴海滩
悉尼，作为澳大利亚的经济文化中心，在世界上日益发挥着重要作用。因此，从某种程度上说，悉尼在世界上的地位在逐步替代首都堪培拉。悉尼，在当地华人口中常被称为雪梨（Sydney）。由于是一座海港城市，所以，以文化、历史见长的悉尼正在招揽着全球不同肤色的人种前来旅游。海滩自然也成为不同时期、地点的游客必然要光顾的地方和项目。而距离悉尼不远处的海滩有两处，一处是邦戴海滩（Bondi Beach），在城市的东南端，距离很近，打车半小时。一处是曼尼海滩（Manly Beach），在城市东北处，距离较远。
邦戴海滩是悉尼最着名的海滩，2000年奥运会沙滩排球比赛就在这里举行。为了保护环境，奥运会结束后，政府花三百多万澳元拆除了所有场馆。在澳大利亚虽说是冬季，可是依然有游泳者在水中自由嬉戏，更有一些穿短裤和比基尼的男士女士，在阳光下舒展四肢。也许是受他们的感染，不少男生脱鞋下了水，“哇，好凉！”他们一边“嘶嘶”抽着凉气，一边追逐打闹着，引起白鸥在蓝天碧水间翻腾跳跃。
距离市中心才8公里的邦戴海滩（Bondi Beach），是冲浪者的天堂。浩瀚的大海，一波接一波的浪涛，顿时让你从紧张的城市节拍中松懈下来。
依海而建的Icebergs餐厅，光是美丽的景色便已足以吸引人光顾。它带地中海风味的美食，无论周日或周末都吸引了很多人捧场。一些人更是从中餐一直坐到晚餐时间，但没有人会催促他们或觉得不满，这就是悉尼的美妙之处。
