塔斯曼尼亞澳洲

【澳洲】遊走塔斯曼尼亞東南西北 在4大極光秘境中睇盡靚景

踏進五六月,南半球又開始了日短夜長的冬季了。這個時候到訪位於澳洲最南邊的塔斯曼尼亞,正趕上最常欣賞到南極光(Aurora Australis / Southern Lights)的時節的地方。今次帶大家從南到北,走遍塔斯曼尼亞的純淨漆黑夜空,往各個輕鬆看到南極光靚景的熱門極點去!看著天空上那閃爍著綠色、藍色、紫色和紅色的極光,如像天使在空中飛舞,叫人著迷!一起出發吧!

光害最少的國境之南:布尼島 Bruny Island

要數最少光害,又要南端;首府Hobart南方,全長50公里的Bruny Island可以說是不二之選。該
島分成南北兩部分,由長長的The Neck連結而成,當中北邊的高點設有展望台,當極光出現時向
南方拍攝,就可以將星空、瓶頸地貌與浩瀚海洋盡收鏡內!若不怕遙長路遠,更可驅車到Bruny
Island最南端的布尼角燈塔(Cap Bruny Lighthouse)。早於1838年已經開始運作的它,目前是
全澳洲第二古老仍有人看守和控制的燈塔,以它當前景為南極光星空作點綴,一定更為迷人。

水天一色絕美景致:搖籃山聖佳爾湖國家公園 Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

搖籃山是塔斯曼尼亞的地標名山,秋日可以看獨有山毛櫸(fagus)紅葉。到了冬天,Cradle
Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park內四野開揚兼水平如鏡的搖籃湖(Cradle Lake)或鴿湖
(Dove Lake),是靜候南極光降臨的好地方。大家不但可以連同壯麗的搖籃山山脈攝進鏡頭,
同時還有水中倒影,令畫面變得更震撼和扣人心弦!與此同時,黃昏時份更有機會遇到可愛的袋
熊,叫人不枉此行。
Located at the northern end of the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, Cradle Mountain is surrounded by smooth glacial lakes, ancient rainforest, and unusual alpine vegetation.

 

若愛暢遊湖泊,搖籃山東邊有個由無數小湖組成的Central Plateau的高山湖區,那裡地勢平坦,
水平面計幾乎可180度全是星空,加上設有多間酒店提供住宿,方便大家逗留數天,時而在戶外,
時而在室內慢慢細賞極光!
Thousand Lakes Lodge is located in the Central Plateau World Heritage Area of Tasmania, to the West is the Walls of Jerusalem to the East of yingina / Great Lake.

飽覽酒杯灣與南極光:菲欣納國家公園 Freycinet National Park

東海岸的Freycinet National Park大家可能有點陌生,但酒杯灣Wineglass Bay一定略有所聞。後
者其實是前者的一部分,夏日是個老少咸宜,包羅沙灘和樹林的宜人健行路線,漫步暢遊更有機
會遇到可愛的塔斯曼尼亞獨有小動物。
冬日來到,可能會有點冷,但當登上鄰近的Mount Amos觀景台,便可俯瞰酒杯灣與南極光的美
景。想偷懶一點的朋友亦可驅車至面向東邊的Beach Lookout或Cape Tourville Lighthouse and
Lookout,那裡設有停車場給大家寫意靜心觀賞夜空,甚至有機會連同銀河一起攝入眼簾!

Over four days, the Freycinet Experience Walk covers the entire length of the breathtaking Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s East Coast, including Wineglass Bay and Schouten Island.
