澳洲新南威爾斯州21日登山旅遊--行程表Itinerary

** Australia NSW & ACT 21 Days Trip Itinerary

(A)本行程概述

    拜「天時、地利、人和」之賜，我們與國華敏惠伉儷經歷了一次愉快而豐富的旅程。我把時間訂在10月8日至10月28日有以下的理由：一則是9月中至10月初是澳洲新南威爾斯州(New South Wales,NSW)的學校假期及勞工節，路上及景區的人車較多，環境較煩雜；二則10月正是春天時節氣候溫和，到處百花齊放美不勝收。行程結束也印證時間點選擇得很合適，除了在大雪山Snowy Mountains攀登澳洲最高峰Mt Kosciuszko山頂時，兩天走在雪地中溫度較低外(但晴空萬里不覺寒冷)，其他的日子裡則大多是晴天，白天溫度大多落在18度至26度間，感覺相當舒適宜爽。

    這個登山旅遊行程內容也相登豐富多樣，從整天只有我們攀爬的荒野山頭到繁華喧囂的大城市都在其中，它包含了高山、峽谷、海岸與城鎮歷史人文等元素。21天的旅程對一般人來說或許稍微長些，但取其中的一星期從雪梨往西到藍山Blue Mountains，或從雪梨往南到南部海岸South Coast及南部高地Southern Highlands走一遭，行程依然精彩可期。

    雖然我們主要的旅程區域在新南威爾斯州，其實我們跨越了三州，包含澳洲首都領地(Australian Capital Territory,ACT)及維多利亞州(Victoria,VIC)的最北地區。我把整個旅程大略分為以下五個區段：

(1)藍山Blue Mountains--

    主要包含Jamison Valley、Grose Valley兩大峽谷及Leura、Katoomba、Blackheath等城鎮。Greater Blue Mountains大藍山區列名為世界自然遺產。

照片2--在Cliff Top Track的Barrow Lookout欣賞新娘面紗瀑布Bridal Veil Falls (Grose Valley)

(2)鐘乳石洞--

    主要包含Jenolan Caves、Wombeyan Caves洞穴區及Oberon、Goulburn等城鎮。

(4)大雪山Snowy Mountains--

    主要包含Mt Kosciuszko國家公園、Thredbo、Perisher滑雪渡假村及Jindabyne、Cooma等城鎮。這裡是澳洲著名的滑雪及攀登雪山的地區。

(5)南部海岸South Coast及南部高地Southern Highlands--

    主要包含由維多利亞州(Victoria,VIC)最北地區的Cann River鎮附近，到雪梨間的沿海地區山地及海岸。每年的5月至11月South Coast是NSW著名的賞鯨區域。
