Chapter 730 729. Dangerous Australia (35)
Eat dinner until the moon is hollow, of course, the premise is that there is a moon.
Li Du looked up at the sky, feeling incredible: "Mr. Pickett, the weather is very clear during the day, why is it so cloudy at night?"
He has heard about the beauty of the starry sky in Australia, and this time he came to Australia with the intention of watching the autumn night sky in Australia.
As a result, he was disappointed on the first day, not seeing a single star.
Pickett is the boss. He flipped over a piece of kangaroo steak and said, "There is a big storm coming. Didn't you check the weather forecast before you came?"
Li Du looked at Hans, Hans shrugged and said, "What I saw was clear weather, and I swear I saw clear weather for several days."
Pickett said with a smile: "Of course, of course, these days will be like this. The sky will be clear during the day, but there will be cloudy clouds at night, and in these few days, there will be storms."
His wife added: "It should be a big storm, and the weather forecast has warned people to plan their schedules."
Li Du was a little depressed. He didn't expect that they would encounter bad weather when they first came to Australia.
The weather in Australia is different from that in China and the United States. It is surrounded by the sea on all sides. To a larger extent, it is a super-large island. Affected by the ocean climate, the climate on land is unpredictable.
However, the weather that Hans found was correct. The daytime weather in the next two or three days will be fine, with clear and sunny weather.
Li Du and the others stayed in Canberra for three or four days, and then they split into two groups.
The journey was led by Hans, Brother Wolf and Sophie. They took their families and children and stayed in Canberra for a while. Hans made an appointment with a top dermatologist who will conduct a consultation for Ivana.
In addition to treating Ivana, they will continue to travel around Canberra. After Ivana's consultation is over, they will go north to Sydney to continue traveling.
The other way is Li Du, Godzilla, Da Ao and Lu Guan. They went to Melbourne to learn about the fishing of black golden abalone and prepare to go to sea to work.
In mid-March, the two parties parted ways, and Li and Du rented an off-road vehicle, took San Xiao and drove to the south.
Like Canberra, Melbourne is a big city.
Many foreigners have heard of the city of Sydney, but they have never heard of Melbourne. In fact, Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and the capital of the state of Victoria.
This city is the cultural and industrial center of Australia. It is the most famous cultural city in the southern hemisphere. The city is built on the mountains. From Canberra to the south along the Australian mountains, the largest city seen at the end of the ocean is Melbourne.
Along the way, there are few passers-by, few cars, and few buildings. Australia is indeed the most sparsely populated developed country in the world.
Li Du already felt that many rural roads were sparsely populated when driving in the United States, but when he was driving on Australian roads, he found that the population here was even sparser.
Compared with the United States, the scenery they saw along the way was more beautiful.
It may be because of the shift from winter to summer. The trees here are verdant and the flowers and plants are lush. Li Du feels very comfortable with the sea breeze blowing along the way.
"The scenery is amazing, huh?" he said casually when he was almost in Melbourne.
Lu Guan said: "Of course, Melbourne's urban green space rate is as high as 40%. It has won the United Nations Habitat Award and has been rated as the world's most livable city by the United Nations Habitat for many years. The scenery is of course very good."
Li Du glanced at him and said, "You seem to know this place very well."
Lu Guan said proudly: "I have done my homework, boss, I am an Australian hand now."
"Okay, Mr. Australia Tong, where should we have lunch?" Li Du asked.
Luguan looked forward vigorously and said, "Wait a little longer, it will be the suburbs of Melbourne. I guess there will be many restaurants by then."
Li Du sneered and said, "What do you think? What if you guessed wrong? Besides, Wangshan ran to death, boy, let's find a place to eat casually around here."
Godzilla pointed to the trunk and said, "I brought kangaroo meat jerky, beer, and some water to make a meal."
There are gas stations and convenience stores on the side of the road. They stopped at a random one and went in to buy a bunch of bread, hot dogs, ham, canned food and the like.
Lu Guan asked the convenience store clerk if there was any camping ground nearby, and the clerk pointed back and said, "The sandy land there can be used for lunch, and there is a water source next to it."
They carried the food and walked back. After walking nearly a kilometer, they found the 'sandy land' mentioned by the waiter. It was a large area, and there was a well between a pile of stones.
Da Ao lay down on the mouth of the well and looked at it. Li Du threatened him, "Be careful not to fall."
The big black man smiled and said, "No, I'm checking to see if there are any fish or frogs in it. I'm lucky, there are frogs in it, and the water is fine."
The four worked together, Da Ao packed the meat and food, Godzilla and Lu Guan went to collect firewood, and Li Du was in charge of cooking.
He opened the black hole space and took out some condiments and vegetables, quickly chopped them and threw them into the pot to soak.
Later, if someone doubts where the vegetables come from, it is easy to explain, he said that it is fine to bring dehydrated vegetables.
Da Ao was about to build a stove, he moved a stone away, and Ah Miao, who was next to him, rushed up suddenly, and slapped something flying with his claws.
Li Du and Da Ao didn't react. They didn't realize until Ah Miao landed that the one thrown by Ah Miao was a poisonous snake!
"Fuck!"
"Fack!"
Both of them subconsciously sprayed a curse word.
This snake is quite big, about one and a half meters long. It has a thick body and a broad head. It is light orange in color with a yellow-green hoop. After landing, it immediately coils up and pokes its head out to them. .
As its head shook back and forth, its originally flat neck gradually swelled up, and Li Du and Da Ao shouted in unison: "Cobra!" "Australian tiger snake!"
This is a cobra, and its specific identity is the Australian tiger snake. It is a large venomous snake in the subtropical region of Australia. It is a very unique group among cobras. The appearance, body color and size of the same genus are comparable. big.
Generally, the body colors of tiger snakes are olive, dark yellow, orange-brown and black, etc., accompanied by yellow-green, gray or orange-brown hoops. The appearance is various and difficult to recognize.
Li Du only recognized it as a cobra, but did not recognize its specific identity. When Da Ao said it was an Australian tiger snake, he asked nervously, "Did you admit it wrong?"
Da Ao nodded solemnly: "That's right, this is the Tiger Snake, damn it, we're in trouble!"
This tiger snake obviously didn't want to live in peace with them. After coiling up its body, it slowly flattened its body and tensed its muscles. Its two small black eyes fixedly stared at Ah Miao in front of it.
