Australia is a country of immigrants, without a profound historical and cultural background, and pursues a multiculturalism. About a quarter of its residents were born outside Australia. At the same time, it is also a sports power and a perennial host country for many sports events worldwide. Several cities in Australia have been rated as one of the most livable places in the world.
Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. The weather is dry and warm throughout the year. Even in winter, it only feels like autumn. The main language is English. The capital is Sydney. The agriculture, animal husbandry, and mining industries are the most developed, and are known as "country on the back of sheep", "country on the mine cart" and "country holding wheat ears".
The currency is Australian dollars, and 1 Australian dollar is equivalent to 6.4 RMB. The time is 3 hours faster than China. For example, it is 5 in the morning in China, so the time in Australia is 8 in the morning.
Sydney Airport in Australia welcomed a rare passenger today. This guest was wearing an exquisite black leather trench coat with a high collar, and a pair of sunglasses on his stern face. When he walked out of the airport, he closed his eyes for the first time, breathing the air of her country. This person is not someone else, but Nie Yun.
In a Chinese restaurant opened by a Chinese descent, Nie Yun sat in a chair and ate the first meal when he got off the plane. People in Australia generally eat bread. Of course, with the influence of the Chinese in recent years, they have also begun to eat rice.
After Nie Yun finished his last meal, he said to the waiter in English: "Pay the bill."
The waiter of Chinese descent came over and said politely: "20 Australian dollars."
Nie Yun changed some Australian dollars long before he came. He immediately took 20 out of his arms and placed it on the table, but when he stood up, he asked the waiter: "How do you get to the XX Ranch?"
In a blink of an eye, Nie Yun was sitting in a taxi traveling through the outback of Australia. A vast Australian pasture spread out outside the car window, magnificent and beautiful! Looking at the blue sky, white clouds and green grassland outside the car window, Nie Yun only felt that this place was like a paradise on earth, a paradise on earth.
There are no high mountains in the outback of Australia, but only plains and hills. Large areas of grassland are flocks of cattle and sheep scattered on the pasture for free-range breeding. Free cattle and sheep graze, regurgitate, rest and sleep on the rich pasture. There are no wolves, no natural enemies, and no need to worry about being stolen by thieves, because Australia has a set of relevant policies that make it impossible for thieves to steal sheep and sell sheep. For example, every cow and sheep has an ID card and is worn on the body. If you want to sell it, you must I checked my identity, so I was caught as soon as I sold it. If the thief removes the ID card, he cannot sell it at all. Haha, so this is simply a wonderful natural pasture.
Australia has a relatively dry climate. Nearly 70 percent of the land is dry land, and the grasslands are flat and vast, suitable for large-scale development of animal husbandry. In pastoral areas, you can often see flocks of sheep and cattle. "There are more sheep than people" is a true portrayal of Australia. Australia did not have a single sheep. In the late eighteenth century, European immigrants brought 29 sheep into Australia for the first time. Due to the good conditions of the Australian grasslands and the dry climate, suitable for the growth and reproduction of sheep, in 2011, the number of sheep was about 170 million, and the number of sheep in Australia accounted for one-sixth of the total number of sheep in the world. Wool production Number one in the world, people vividly call Australia a "country on the back of a sheep."
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Nie Yun in the car looked at the cows lined up on the grassland outside the window, and couldn't help asking the driver: "What happened to the cows?"
The driver is a local, very polite, and answered in English: "You are here for the first time. Those cows will consciously line up for milking every three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It can be said to be an interesting picture. Vivid picture."
"Hehe, this cow is really obedient." Nie Yun smiled, and then noticed that there were many square piers wrapped in white plastic on the grassland outside the window. He couldn't help but ask: "What is that?"
The driver grasped the steering wheel, glanced at the white plastic square piers pointed by Nie Yun, and said with a smile: "In Australia, not only the beef and mutton exports, but also the grass on the pastures. The white plastic square piers you see are Wrapped grass. Wait a minute and take a boat far away. These grasses are of extremely high quality and very expensive. Even you China also imports them, and they seem to be used to feed racehorses."
Listening to the driver's words, Nie Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems you are worth everything in Australia."
The driver was very talkative, and said leisurely: "You don’t understand, boy, we are not a place where we have a lot of money, such as milk. Our Australian milk is of excellent quality, but the price is extremely cheap, 2 yuan in the supermarket. One liter. Buy it back and put it in the refrigerator, then take it out as water, don’t heat it, it tastes great!"
"Two yuan?" Nie Yun shook his head and said, "It's cheap, but it's Australian dollars. If it's changed into RMB, it's more than a dozen yuan. It's not cheap if you count this way."
"I'm talking about two yuan." The driver used his right thumb and index finger to rub money while speaking.
In this regard, Nie Yun can be regarded as serving Australia's animal husbandry. In this way, Nie Yun talked with the driver while looking at the prairie scenery outside the car window, and learned a lot of interesting facts and rules about the Australian prairie from the driver along the way.
The car stopped at 5:10 in the afternoon. The driver pointed to the pasture buildings not far away and said to Nie Yun, "Where is the place you are going. Now that the car can't get in, you can walk in."
Nie Yun took a deep look at the building not far away, took a sigh of relief, handed the car money to the driver, and said politely: "Brother driver, thank you. You don't need to find the rest of the money." Bao Bao got out of the car.
"Young man, there are not many cars passing by here. When do you leave, call me and I will pick you up." The driver handed Nie Yun a business card.
Nie Yun took the business card, said thank you, and stepped onto the grassland below his feet and walked to the buildings. Seeing that Nie Yun had gone, the driver drove the car back on the same route.
At this time, the sun on the grassland began to set the curtain of the day, and the original fresh, light green grass was plated with gold in the sunset sunlight. Nie Yun stopped walking and looked at a piece of golden grassland with emotion in his heart. At the same time, that heart was beating faster, because I was about to see her, she who had always occupied all of her body and mind.
Gradually, the golden grassland turned into an endless night as the sun fell on the horizon. When the night breeze hits, I can't feel the cold at all, but some are just heart-warming excitement. Stepping on the grassland below her feet, step by step towards the place where she is.
