Motel >> Chinatown >> Circular Quay >> Cockatoo Island >> Circular Quay >> Sydney Library (Old Custom Building) >> Opera House >> Royal Botanic Garden >> Opera Bar >> Motel

第三天，決定搭船去趟雪梨﹝悉尼﹞港灣內的庫卡圖島晃晃、這次來雪梨﹝悉尼﹞已打定用不趕行程的方式來遊玩，所大都是前一天晚上上網查查別人的足跡做為當天的行程的為參考。吃完早餐就搭公車經中國城往環形碼頭搭渡輪前往庫卡圖島，環形碼頭除了是澳洲原住民的發源地、其所在地雪梨灣則是亞瑟·菲利浦船長所率領的英國第一艦隊在抵達傑克遜港後最先上岸的地點。。它也是雪梨主要的交通樞紐，設有一個大型的渡輪、巴士和鐵路轉線站。

We had a simple plan of our Sydney tour this year and also decided to spend our time not is rush.  So, we have decided to pay a visit at Cockatoo Island where allocated in Sydney Cove during the 3rd day of our Sydney Tour after we checked others' footage from internet at previous night.
We took the bus from the motel to Circular Quay where we will take the ferry via Chinatown.
 
The Circular Quay is a very popular tourist point with made up of walkways, pedestrian malls, parks and restaurants.  It is a major Sydney transport hub which with a large ferry, rail and bus interchange.  Sydney Cove where the Circular Quay is located, was also the site of the initial landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.

上了渡輪，沒想到是倒車離港的方式、讓我可以從正面拍攝雪梨歌劇院，也讓我從另個角度拍攝到了雪梨港橋。

We never thought that the ferry would depart from the wharf by reversing, and I have a good shot of front view of Sydney Opera House.

I also have a good shot of Habour bridge on the way to Cockatoo Island.

庫卡圖島目前面積為四十四英畝、坐落於雪梨港內帕拉馬沓河與蘭卡夫河交匯處，島上的植被幾乎已被清理乾淨。

在1839至1869這30年間，它是該殖民地用來關押前科累犯的監獄。此島在1857至1991這34年間也曾是座造船廠，是澳大利亞聯邦最大造船廠之一。

造船廠的第一座船塢是由島上監獄的犯人所建造起來的，在二次大戰期間它也曾是最主要的船塢及維修處﹝如下圖﹞。

Cockatoo Island is located at the junction of the parramatta and Land Cove rivers within Sydney Harbour, and it is now with the area of 44 acres where most vegetation is cleared.

This island operated as a convict penal establishment which primarily as a place of secondary punishment for convicts who had re-offended in the colonies between 1839 and 1869, and it also recognised one of Australia's biggest shipyards.  This sipyard was operating between 1857 and 1991, and the first of its 2 dry docks was built by convicts.

As shown by the picture as below, Cockatoo Island was also a major dockyard and repair facility during WWII.

到達庫卡圖島後﹝約半小時到達﹞，島上導覽人員仔細的介紹在除夕夜曾聚集了約3000人，而安潔麗娜‧裘利也曾在此島拍攝其新的電影。金剛狼也有些場景在此島拍攝。

The guiding staff give us a quick intro about this island and also told us that there were 3000 people here at New Year's Eve.

He also told us that Angelina Jolie's new movie had scenes shut here, and Wolverin also had few scenes shut here as well.

不知將在哪些電影裡頭看到這些場景？

I wonder in which film I will see thses scenes as below.

以下的這些應該是船隻上卸下的輪機之類的大型部件。

The parts as below I assumed were the parts of engines which disassambled from the ships.

參觀完庫卡圖島後搭渡輪回到了環形碼頭，吃完了簡便午餐後便到其對面的雪梨圖書館。該館是由原海關大樓所改建的，其一樓大廳地板是透明的、裡頭還有雪梨市區的模型。

We returned to Circular Quay after finished the little trip on Cockatoo Island, and we went to Sydney Library where opposits to Circular Quay after had a quick lunch.  This library was transformed from the former Custom building, and it is so amazing that I saw a cleared floor where contains a built model of good scale of Sydney CBD.

再次的來到雪梨歌劇院，決定好好的轉轉這個地方。上次錯過參觀旁邊的皇家植物園，所以決定好好的進去看看！

Arrived Sydney Opera House again and we decided to have nice look around this time.  We missed the Royal Botanic Garden last time, and we wouldn't this time.

香藥草區竟然種著蕃薯葉。

There are sweet potatos grown in the herb garden of the Royal Botanic Garden.

夏之神

Godess of Summer

 春之神

 God of Spring

在玫瑰園區拍了些美美的玫瑰花

I also took few shots of beautiful roses at Rose Garden

秋之神

Godess of Autumn

冬之神

God of Winter

蓮花池的蓮花也讓我驚豔！不過台灣白河的蓮花還是略勝一籌！

I also was surprised by the Lotus from the Lotus pond, but I would say that the Lotus grown at Bai-He Distric of Tainan City Taiwan were a little better than the Lotus here.

回到雪梨歌劇院下的歌劇酒吧，點了杯雪梨司令來喝。這天的行程在搭車回到住宿後便圓滿的結束了。

I ordered a glass of "Sydney Sling" at Opera Bar after left Royal Botanic Garden, and we had finished the schedule for the day after returned motel safely.
