点评:We left our accommodation under a cloudy sky and headed south to Jervis Bay and the Booderee NP. After 10 mins or so, came upon the Booderee Visitor Centre and park entry. It’ll cost you $20 for a day pass, and you get a useful map to boot. From the visitor centre, it’s an easy drive on sealed roads past the turnoff to Cave Beach before you come across a crossroads. Straight ahead takes you along the north coast to Scottish Rocks, the Hole in the Wall and ultimately Murray’s Beach. A right turn at the crossroads takes you down toward the south east of the national park, and the lighthouse ruins. Or, if you prefer, take a quick detour left at the crossroads and make for the Jervis Bay takeaway and supermarket (it’s literally only 200m) to grab a bite and top up the mintie supplies. Once satiated, it’s back to the crossroads and south down Wreck Bay Rd (sealed); it’s marked with a brown tourist sign saying ‘Historic Lighthouse’. After a few km, you’ll take a left turn (at the tourist sign) onto an unsealed road. About one km down the road, it’s another left onto Stony Creek Rd. Four km on and it’s one final left turn for the last km to the lighthouse car park. There are toilets at the carpark, which is a lazy 200m stroll from the ruins. The road in is easily navigated by 2WD and has few potholes. It is a little narrow in places however and these places are invariably where you come across other cars.
The views of and from the lighthouse ruins are mesmerising. Blue skies and a polarising filter help, but you really can’t go wrong here. Everywhere you turn, you’re confronted by stunning compositions of dishevelled sand stone blocks, crashing surf and wrought iron gates slowly decaying. I could have spent hours here just taking photos, but the storyboards were even better than the standard fare and made for the complete experience.
翻译:我们在阴天中离开了住处,向南前往杰维斯湾和波特里国家公园。大约 10 分钟后,您来到了波特里游客中心和公园入口。一日通票费用为 20 美元,此外您还会得到一张实用的地图。从游客中心出发,沿着密封的道路轻松行驶,经过通往洞穴海滩的岔路,然后会看到一个十字路口。直行将带您沿着北海岸到达苏格兰岩、墙中洞和最终的默里海滩。在十字路口右转,您将前往国家公园的东南部和灯塔遗址。或者,如果您愿意,也可以在十字路口快速左转,前往杰维斯湾外卖店和超市(实际上只有 200 米)吃点东西并补充薄荷糖。吃饱喝足后,回到十字路口并向南沿着 Wreck Bay Rd(密封)行驶;灯塔遗址有一个棕色的旅游标志,上面写着“历史灯塔”。行驶几公里后,在旅游标志处左转,进入一条未铺砌的道路。行驶约一公里后,再左转进入 Stony Creek 路。行驶四公里后,在最后一公里左转,到达灯塔停车场。停车场设有厕所,距离灯塔遗址仅 200 米的悠闲漫步路程。这条路适合两轮驱动车轻松通行,而且几乎没有坑洼。不过,有些地方有点窄,而这些地方总是会遇到其他车辆。
灯塔遗址的景色令人着迷。蓝天和偏光镜有所帮助,但在这里,你真的不会走错路。无论你转向何处,都会看到令人惊叹的凌乱沙石块、汹涌的海浪和慢慢腐烂的锻铁大门。我本可以在这里花上几个小时拍照,但故事板比标准票价还要好,并为我带来了完整的体验。
