enzie Falls

6.麦肯齐瀑布

澳大利亚10大自然奇观(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.

在墨尔本以西235千米的格兰屏国家公园,袋鼠频繁出没,一座砂石山拔地而起,悬下来的巨大瀑布就是麦肯齐瀑布,水帘从30米的高处直泻而下,汇入峡谷,一年四季都是如此,在阳光下还会产生彩虹

澳大利亚10大自然奇观(下) 第2张

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.

卡卡杜国家公园坐落于达尔文市东南方向171千米处,占地20000平方千米,拥有各种各样的热带生物,植物就有1700余种。它涵盖泛洪平原、潮坪和围岩,岩画、石刻和考古遗址记载了从史前时代到现代仍然居住在这里的土著居民的生活方式,它还有个倍受争议的铀矿。

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

同时它还是淡水鳄和咸水鳄的家园,所以要注意脚下哦。

Mountains

8.蓝山

澳大利亚10大自然奇观(下) 第3张

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.

从悉尼向西驾车约两个小时就是蓝山。桉树产出的桉树油赋予了山景一片苍翠。在大分水岭的脊线上有一个回声谷,三座巨大相连的岩石自沙地平原而起,竖立在山谷的一方,被称为“三姐妹”,峡谷深达760米,山里有世界上最古老的植物物种,包括瓦勒迈杉——和恐龙一个时代的植物。
