点评:On our way to Kangaroo Island/Karta Pintingga, a friend and I spent a few very memorable hours with Glen on the waters and sand peninsular of the Coorong, spending two nights in the area to experience this beautiful Australian coastline.
On the way to South Australia we fully immersed ourselves in a the read aloud version of "Salt Creek", a much loved book club choice from years ago.
These few hours will be long remembered - Glen's deep knowledge of the ecosystems, environment and history and geography of the Coorong, the beauty of this quiet landscape so vividly described in Lucy Treloar's first novel, and Glen's generosity in answering all our questions.
In a short walk across the sand dunes we saw so much-in the sky with clouds and birdlife, and on the sand as animal tracks,shells, plants and man's impact gave us a brief glimpse of this, to me anyway, unknown and not well populated part of our extraordinary country.
Thank you to my friend BP for the research. Thank you to Glen for his hospitality and to Tracy for the delicious lunch goodie box. Delicious-particularly the smoked mullet caught and processed by you both. Excellent experience that will be reflected on once we are back in the city!
翻译:在去袋鼠岛/Karta Pintingga 的路上,我和一位朋友与 Glen 在库荣的水域和沙地半岛度过了几个难忘的时光,在该地区住了两个晚上,体验了这美丽的澳大利亚海岸线。
在去南澳大利亚的路上,我们完全沉浸在朗读版的《盐溪》中,这是几年前读书俱乐部最喜欢的一本书。
这几个小时将永远被铭记——Glen 对库荣的生态系统、环境、历史和地理的深入了解,Lucy Treloar 的第一部小说中如此生动地描述了这片宁静的风景之美,以及 Glen 慷慨地回答我们所有的问题。
在穿过沙丘的短暂步行中,我们看到了很多东西——天空中有云朵和鸟类,沙滩上有动物的足迹、贝壳、植物和人类的影响,让我们短暂地瞥见了这个对我来说未知且人口稀少的非凡国家的一部分。
感谢我的朋友 BP 所做的研究。感谢 Glen 的热情款待,感谢 Tracy 提供的美味午餐礼盒。美味极了,尤其是你们捕获和加工的熏鲻鱼。非常棒的体验,我们回到城里后一定会回味无穷!
