泛舟库隆

有玩有吃,一路饱览南澳可餐秀色

南澳大利亚的库隆国家公园是澳大利亚最佳自然环境之一,这里有五花八门各具特色的鸟兽虫鱼,它们都以此地咸水和盐碱滩涂植物为生。要观赏这片自然生态系统,最好的方式莫过于乘坐 Canoe the Coorong 的海上皮划艇且行且看。

皮划艇准备就绪 ——Steve Hudson

这是个星期六早晨,我们一行人聚集在满杜海峡 (Mundoo Channel) 旁边的停车场,准备跟随导游 Brenton 开始这趟长达六小时的库隆皮划艇之旅。我们选好当天要用的小艇,穿上救生衣,然后动身横渡满杜海峡清晨平静水面,Brenton 一路给我们指点方向和目的地标志,帮助我们避开浅水水域。

从满杜动身出发 ——Steve Hudson

我们先向东行进,然后改往东南方而去,经过名副其实的鸟岛 (Bird Island),随后我们看到了半淹在水中的库隆国家公园标志,这是第一个清楚表明我们已身处这座国家公园的指示标。我们聚拢在Point Blenkinsop的一个信标周围,Brenton 给我们上了一堂简短的历史课,随后我们继续泛舟划向南面的 Barkers Knoll,在那儿我们开心地驾舟登上一片小沙滩。

早茶摆上桌来,Brenton 还给大家提供了一些 Nana's 新鲜出炉的曲奇饼干,好看又好吃,大家真是吃着手里的,盯着桌上的。在这顿出乎意料的美味早点后,接下来该穿过沙丘快步前往大洋海滩 (Ocean Beach),借此也可消耗多余的卡路里。

沙丘步行——Steve Hudson

其实是这段旅途帮助我们更深入地了解这片独特生态系统,尤其是澳大利亚丛林食物有多么健康美味。我们蜿蜒穿行于蓬乱无序的灌木丛之间,Brenton 时不时就迅速俯下身来摘一把树叶、浆果、种籽和各种各样的果子,然后递给我们大家品尝。我们起先并没抱期望,毕竟它们生长在如此严酷的气候环境之中,吃到嘴里才发现美味异常,不由又惊又喜。

一种番杏科植物的果实——Steve Hudson

我们继续步行前往大洋海滩,在穿过古老的贝丘和野草球小径后,我们终于抵达这片壮丽海滩,这里人迹罕至,蛤蜊就掩埋在水线之下。我们一边试着挖取蛤蜊,收获不大,一边不由赞叹这片水域的美好风景和温暖触感。

返回我们存放皮划艇之地,一股烤鱼香味扑鼻而来,我们都叫嚷着要求在沙拉卷里夹一片鱼肉,然后再配上鲜灼野生菠菜和海蓬子,这是两种生长于附近灌木丛的澳大利亚丛林美食,30 分钟前才刚刚采来。跟前面一样,它们美味极了,我们大家都纷纷回头再要一份。

澳洲肺鱼——Steve Hudson

我们重新驾舟而行,不过现在是掉头朝西北方向“满腹而归”,途经 Younghusband Peninsula 半岛北角时看到此地最后仅存的渔民棚屋,他们看上去十分辛劳,但他们的这种生活让他们成为登上遗产名录的有力竞争者。

继续前行不远,墨累河河口(Murray Mouth)映入眼帘。我们再次划船登上沙滩,步行一小段路前往河口观看它从另一边看上去是何模样,虽然其实没什么差别,但这里人少多了,而且近旁有很多迁徙候鸟。

最后一段旅途我们离开墨累河口前往 Sugars Beach 船舶下水滑道,行程到此结束。 如欲了解更多详情,请参考 Canoe the Coorong 网站facebook 主页,或者直接致电 Brenton,他肯定有问必答。
