点评:I was leaving Capertee heading towards Lithgow on my road trip... driving through Capertee is rather like driving through most small towns, shortly after leaving town, I saw the sign for a lookout on my left. I turned and followed the road up... when I parked my car in the small parking area... I was gobsmacked.
If I had driven from Lithgow to Capertee the effect would not have been the same, because you do see incredible scenery as you drive... but this lookout was not what I was expecting at the time. But it made sense as I continued to drive.
The Capertee Valley is surrounded by World Heritage-listed wilderness, and is the world's widest enclosed canyon- in fact, it is a one kilometre wider than the Grand Canyon!! But not as deep!
The view here is breathtaking ... utterly breathtaking. Those blue and green hues with the swirling greys in the sky are captivating.
The site has a few information boards, most of them are worn and difficult to read.. . there is a single unshaded picnic table here if you choose to have a picnic with these views as your backdrop.
It's a difficult area to rate, the views are perfect, the location itself is a little ordinary (in as much as the boards are hard to read, road condition into the lookout)...but you are here just to see that valley before you and it's truly something to behold.
翻译:我正从卡佩提出发,前往利斯戈进行我的公路旅行……驾车穿过卡佩提就像驾车穿过大多数小镇一样。出城不久,我看到左侧有一个观景台的标志。我转身沿着路往上走……当我把车停在那个小小的停车场时……我惊呆了。
如果我从利斯戈开车去卡佩提,感觉肯定不一样,因为一路上你确实能看到令人惊叹的美景……但这个观景台当时并不像我预想的那样。但随着我继续开车,这一切似乎也合情合理。
卡佩提山谷被列入世界遗产名录的荒野环绕,是世界上最宽的封闭式峡谷——事实上,它比大峡谷还要宽一公里!!但不如大峡谷那么深!
这里的景色令人叹为观止……绝对令人叹为观止。蓝绿交相辉映,天空中翻腾的灰色晕染令人心醉神迷。
观景台上有一些信息板,大部分都破旧不堪,难以辨认……如果您想以这些美景为背景野餐,这里有一张没有遮阳的野餐桌。
这片区域很难评价,景色堪称完美,位置本身略显普通(比如信息板难以辨认,以及通往观景台的道路状况)……但您来这里就是为了看看眼前的山谷,它确实值得一看。
