【叹世界!】在澳大利亚见苍凉极致之美

本帖最后由 evaxiaofan 于 2010-12-3 15:51 编辑


Explore The Australian Outback ... and Beyond
The arid and remote inland region of Australia, the Outback is home to the country's indigenous population and unique flora and fauna -- and much, much more than a backdrop for the adventures of Australian stereotypes like Crocodile Dundee. Serious European exploration of the Outback began in 1813 and culminated in the establishment of a network of roads in the 1950s. But you can take a tour of the surreal beauty yourself


Uluru Presides Over the Outback
Uluru (or Ayers Rock) rises over 1,100 feet above central Australian, and is the second largest monolith on Earth after Mt. Augustus in Western Australia. It has profound cultural significance for the local Pitjantjatjara and Yankuntjatjara Aborigines. Between 1931 and 1946 only 22 people were known to have climbed Uluru but now around 500,000 tourists from around the world visit the Rock every year.


The Longest Fence in the World
The Dog Fence stretches through the outback near Marree Australia. The fence was built to keep dingos away from sheep, and stretches for more than 3,360 miles. It is the longest fence in the world.


Peering at the Pinnacles
Limestone pillars, known as The Pinnacles, stand in the desert in Nambung National Park near Cervantes, Western Australia.


Droving Cattle Under the Sun
Cattle are led across the Outback during the Great Australian Cattle Drive preview.


The Outback From the Air
An inland river system is seen from the air in central Australia.


The Domes of Kata Tjuta
The 36 granite and basalt conglomerate domes of Kata Tjuta (meaning '"many heads" in the local Anangu Aboriginal language), also known as the Olgas, rise nearly 1,800 feet above the surrounding desert. These unique monoliths contain the sacred initiation ceremony sites for the Pitjantjatjara and Yankuntjatjara Aborigines.


Bejeweled Landscape
Several hundred thousand abandoned opal mines create a moon-like landscape around the opal mining town of Coober Pedy.

The View From the Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains -- once the unofficial boundary of "wild" Australia -- gets its name from the blue haze formed by sunlight shining through vapor released by eucalyptus trees. It is home to 132 different species found nowhere else on the planet including the Wollomi pine, a tree thought to be extinct for 2 million years until recently.
