景點之三: 澳洲藍山國家公園Blue Mountain National Park
藍山國家公園屬於大藍山地區 ( The Greater Blue Mountains Area ) 座落在新南威爾士州境內﹐該區域擁有7個澳洲國家公園﹐包括藍山公園.在2000年被列入自然類世界遺產。海拔1000 – 1200公尺，每年降雨量1400 – 1500毫米。藍山全地區生長著龐大的原始叢林和亞熱帶雨林。藍山名字的由來是因為那裏有藍色的霧，這個景觀的形成是由澳洲的國樹尤加利樹排出來的油被太陽照射接觸到而使整個藍山發出淡淡的藍霧。藍山公園裏有90種不同品種的尤加利樹及超過400 種的動物種類。白人探險家 Blaxland，Lawson和Wentworth首次發現藍山是在1813年，可是早在14,000澳州原住民(Aboringies)就已經來過藍山。藍山內藏有許多古老的營地，斧頭刻出來的條紋，石頭雕刻，石頭做的生活器具都一一出土。今天，這些保留下來的文化遺產都被完整的保留在藍山裏。
****澳洲藍山的三姊妹岩
想要攀登藍山可從南邊的Great Western Highway出發，一路上還會經過藍山的標志就是三姐妹峰。相傳在很久以前有三位美貌的姐妹分別叫做 "靡愛倪", "溫拉" 和 "甘妮杜"。這三位姐妹出生在Katoomba部落，很不幸的是他們三人同時愛上了山下Nepean族兄弟三人。這是有違異族縮怨與規矩，不被父輩首肯，後來因為他們的戀情而引爆了兩族的戰爭。當時有一位巫師為了保護三姐妹免受戰爭的威脅就把她們變成石頭。然而最後巫師卻戰死，剩下守山谷的三姐妹岩，因此三姐妹岩成了藍山最聞名的名勝。藍山裏三座岩石分別為922公尺，918公尺和906公尺。

*****Interpretation from Sean Ly from the above: it sounds like our checked baggage allowance is limited to 23kg for $8 per flight when making their booking. If we do not pre-purchase checked baggage prior to arriving at the airport, then a fee of $20 will apply at the airport for any checked baggage up to 23kg. Checked baggage that exceeds 23 kgs will attract excess baggage charges and will only be accepted at their discretion. Moreover, each piece of your baggage must not weigh more than 32 kg and must not exceed a total linear dimension of 140 cm (54in) (add together depth, width and length). There is no where that mentions how many pieces of luggage you can check in and the limitation is based on total weight....>

9月22日，住在雪梨的吳建立同學來email原文如下﹕
The weather here in October:
• Sydney – say around 17 to 24ºC (63ºF - 76ºF) if no weird weather occurs, In Sydney, at noon time yesterday the temperature was 30ºC, then thunderstorm in the afternoon. Today we have dust storm, right now the whole sky is red. The sun is struggling to pierce through the blanket of dust. The temperature is about 16ºC. Sydney is the most livable place on earth. Any Sydneysiders? Correct me if I am wrong.
• Melbourne – say a few degrees cooler at night and hotter at noon time. There are four seasons in one day. Weird weather. Sorry for upsetting the Melburnians.
• Brisbane and Cairns : A couple of degrees hotter and humid in Brisbane . Cairns could be average 35 - 38ºC and very humid. They say “beautiful one day, perfect the next”, but a bit humid. Any Queenslanders? Correct me if I am wrong.
Generally, the weather should be good everywhere in October.
