珀斯附近島嶼
羅特內斯特島
從珀斯乘渡輪到羅特內斯特島只有很短的一段路程,這裡有一個你在其他任何地方都看不到的小景點。短尾矮袋鼠是一種小型有袋動物,因其友善的天性而聞名,這也是它們成為網紅的原因。這個島是一個真正的保護區,私家車不允許登島,所以大多數遊客步行或騎自行車來探索這個地方,背著潛水裝備在63個迷人的海灘之間穿行。家庭會喜歡這個盡情享樂的水上公園,還有一些適合戴水肺潛水的好地方。如果你想要覆蓋整個島嶼,招手即停的島嶼探險巴士是一個不錯的選擇。當然,在沙丘後面的豪華的生態友好型帳篷裡留宿也是一個不錯的體驗。
Rottnest Island, just a short ferry ride from Perth, has one tiny attraction you can’t see anywhere else. The quokka, a pint-sized marsupial, is known for its friendly nature, which is why photographers love to snap their picture. The island is a true sanctuary: private cars are not allowed, so most visitors explore the place on foot or by bicycle, wandering between 63 charming beaches with snorkels in hand. Families will love the Just 4 Fun Aqua Park, and there are some great places to scuba dive. If you’re keen to cover the entire island, the hop-on hop-off Island Explorer bus is a great option. Stay in a luxury eco-tent nestled behind the sand dunes.
科科斯(基林)群島
這個由27個島嶼組成的印度洋前哨是個世外桃源般的存在。這裡擁有炫目的白色沙灘、世界級的潛點和獨特的融合文化——但它每年只有少數遊客到訪,這可能是因為它遠離澳大利亞西海岸。那些從珀斯(途經聖誕島)出發的人絕對不虛此行:從初級到專業級的潛水者都能領略到珊瑚礁和沉船的景觀。歷史愛好者可以在導遊的帶領下了解當地的科科馬來人;探險者們可以乘坐獨木舟遊覽未被開發的南部島嶼。不要錯過方向島平靜的海灘,它被稱為澳大利亞最好的海灘。
This idyllic Indian Ocean outpost of 27 islands boasts dazzling white-sand beaches, world-class diving and a unique cultural blend – yet it receives only a handful of visitors each year, perhaps due to its remote location off Australia’s west coast. Those who do make the trip from Perth (via Christmas Island) will be handsomely rewarded: divers of all abilities can marvel at coral reefs and shipwrecks with Cocos Dive; curious historians can take a guided tour to learn about the local Cocos Malay people; and explorers can visit the territory’s untouched southern islands on an outrigger canoe safari. Don’t miss calm Cossies Beach on Direction Island; it’s been called Australia’s best beach.
聖誕島
如果你正在籌劃一個遙遠而又未知的海島體驗,那麼聖誕島就是你的清單上的一個目的地。從珀斯乘飛機抵達,聖誕島不僅因其令人難以置信的紅蟹遷徙而聞名,而且還因其未被開發的雨林、生機勃勃的珊瑚礁和奢華的度假勝地而聞名。每年10月或11月,超過4000萬隻紅蟹在遷徙過程中遍布全島。你一年四季都可以在近60個地點浮潛和水肺潛水,島上近三分之二的地方都被國家公園所覆蓋,還有很多懸崖、巖石池和海灘等著你去發現。另外,你會在奇妙小屋發現終極島嶼度假體驗——一個單獨的、大落地窗、面對野外的生態小屋。
If you’re chasing an island experience that’s as remote as it is unknown, then Christmas Island is one to put on your list. Reached via a flight from Perth, Christmas Island is known not only for its incredible red crab migration, but also its untamed rainforest, lively coral reefs and luxury retreat. Each year during October or November, more than 40 million red crabs carpet the island during their migration. You can snorkel and scuba dive nearly 60 sites all year round, and with almost two-thirds of the island covered in national park, there are plenty of cliffs, rock pools and beaches to discover. You』ll find the ultimate island getaway at Swell Lodge, a single glass-fronted eco chalet offering views of the surrounding wilderness.
達爾文附近島嶼
提維群島
提維群島位於達爾文以北100公裡(62英裡)處,擁有獨特的文化、精巧的藝術和優美的景色。在觀看提維婦女編織籃子和學習一些與普卡瑪尼(下葬儀式)之前,AAT國王將用煙霧儀式來歡迎你。狂熱的垂釣者會喜歡提維島冒險的運動+釣魚體驗,有40多種魚類可供捕獲。一定要看一場全島最具激情的比賽——澳式足球。從10月到3月有七支球隊參加,每年的總決賽都有盛大的慶祝活動。
The Tiwi Islands, located 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Darwin, overflow with culture, art and beauty. Take a tour with AAT Kings and be welcomed with a smoking ceremony before watching Tiwi women weave baskets and learn some of the complex rituals associated with the Pukamani (burial ceremony). Avid anglers will love a guided sport-fishing experience with Tiwi Island Adventures; there are more than 40 fish species to catch. Be sure to watch a match of the island’s biggest passion - Australian rules football. Seven teams play from October to March, and there are huge festivities each year for the grand final.
阿德萊德附近島嶼
袋鼠島
離南澳大利亞海岸13公裡(8英裡)的袋鼠島,擁有獨特冒險所需要的一切。野生動物、自然景觀、美食和美酒讓你應接不暇。前往島的西側,探索弗林德斯切斯國家公園,那裡有覆蓋著橙色地衣的巨石,壯麗的景觀使它們被稱為非凡的巖石。你不會想錯過海豹灣保護公園,在那裡你可以漫步在瀕臨滅絕的澳大利亞海獅之間。兩小時的鴨嘴獸水坑之旅將讓你有機會發現澳大利亞神秘莫測的鴨嘴獸。在「佩妮餐廳」盡情享受島上的烹飪創意以及袋鼠島烈酒和達德利葡萄酒。
Kangaroo Island, 13 kilometres (8 miles) off the coast of South Australia, has everything you need for a unique adventure. Wildlife, natural attractions, gourmet produce and delicious spirits all make an appearance. Head to the western side of the island to explore Flinders Chase National Park, home to large boulders covered in orange lichen; they’re called Remarkable Rocks for a reason. You don’t want to miss Seal Bay Conservation Park, where you can walk among endangered Australian sea lions. The two-hour Platypus Waterholes Walk will give you a chance at spotting Australia’s elusive platypus. Indulge in the island’s culinary creativity at Penny’s Restaurant, Kangaroo Island Spirits and Dudley Wines.
