剛抵達布里斯本就準備去看無尾熊，上一次在雪梨的動物園看到無尾熊就一秒愛上。所以這次準備出發 Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary 龍柏無尾熊動物園。
Just arrived in Brisbane and getting ready to see koalas. Last time at the zoo in Sydney, I fell in love with koalas in just a second. So this time, I'm heading to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
我們是在市區搭公車抵達，大概50分鐘的路程，抵達之後門口就可以看到巨大的無尾熊雕塑，因為龍柏動物園是昆士蘭州唯一合法可以近距離抱無尾熊合照的動物園，但是需要先在官方網站預訂才可以唷。
We arrived by bus from the city center, which took about 50 minutes. Upon arrival, at the entrance, you can immediately see a giant koala sculpture. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the only place in Queensland where it's legal to hold and take photos with koalas up close, but reservations need to be made in advance through their official website.
門口就有一張大地圖可以看，怕忘記的人，例如我。 我就會先拍下來，邊走邊看，不過不看看地圖也滿有趣的，也可以探索動物園的時候很有新鮮感。
At the entrance, there's a large map available for those, like me, who might be afraid of forgetting details. I tend to take a picture of it first and then explore while referencing the map. Although exploring without the map can be quite interesting, it adds a sense of discovery to the sanctuary.
走著走著戶外也有販賣咖啡與水的小店，可以買杯咖啡來喝，畢竟澳洲是咖啡大國可以邊享受著咖啡與動物相看，水的話我建議自備，因為價錢會貴上許多，除了是因為觀光地區之外動物園的收入也會拿來照顧好動物們，所以購買也算是讓動物們有更好的環境被保護。
As you stroll around, you'll find outdoor shops selling coffee and water. It's a good idea to grab a cup of coffee while enjoying the view of the animals, especially considering Australia's reputation for great coffee. As for water, I'd recommend bringing your own as the prices at the sanctuary can be quite high. Apart from being a tourist area, the proceeds from the zoo also contribute to the well-being of the animals. So, purchasing from there is a way of supporting a better environment for the animals and their care.
再來就是開始逛園區了，首先看到的是正在睡午覺的蝙蝠，第一次在白天看到蝙蝠而不是在洞穴內，洞穴內我應該也會很害怕只想出去，還好還有一層防護可以盡情觀賞。
Moving on to explore the sanctuary, the first thing I encountered was a group of bats napping. It was my first time seeing bats during the day rather than within a cave, where I'd probably feel a bit apprehensive and just want to leave. Thankfully, here there was an additional layer of protection that allowed me to observe them freely without feeling scared.
再來是粉紅鸚鵡，粉紅鸚鵡本人其實長得滿可愛的。
The next encounter was with the pink cockatoos. In fact, pink cockatoos look quite adorable.
（貼心提醒：首先拍照是允許的，但有些動物是不能拍照，旁邊都會有標示並且不能開閃光燈唷。）
Kind reminder: Taking photos is permitted in most areas, but there are some animals that cannot be photographed. Signs indicating such restrictions will be present, and remember, flash photography is prohibited.
走著走著就會看到有一區充滿著人潮，那就是無尾熊區啦。無尾熊本人真的非常的可愛，原本對無尾熊無感的我在看到無尾熊本人就一件鍾情了。
As you continue your stroll, you'll come across an area bustling with people, and that's the koala section. Koalas are undeniably adorable. Despite being indifferent towards koalas before, seeing them in person instantly made me fall in love with these charming creatures.
無尾熊媽媽帶著小寶寶一起吃尤加利葉，不可能沒有人會愛上吧。例如本人我再度愛上無尾熊。光是看著他們悠閒的在樹上發呆內心就被療癒了。
It's impossible not to fall in love when you witness a koala mother feeding her little one eucalyptus leaves. For instance, I found myself falling in love with koalas all over again. Just watching them laze around in the trees brings such a soothing and heartwarming feeling.

（還有一起睡午覺的無尾熊家族>—<）
有一段非常可愛，因為工作人員需要換新的尤加利葉給無尾熊吃，所以把舊的都先收走，看著無尾熊們排排站不知所措的看著工作人員的反應真的非常可愛。
It was an incredibly adorable moment when the staff had to replace the koalas' eucalyptus leaves. They collected the old leaves, and watching the koalas all lined up, seemingly unsure of what to do, observing the staff, was absolutely precious.
(感謝友人幫無尾熊的內心配音)
新的葉子放上去之後，就可以看到無尾熊以最快的速度衝上去吃，這一區非常的推薦大家停留。
After the new leaves were put in place, you could see the koalas quickly darting up to eat them. This area is highly recommended for everyone to spend some time in—it's truly delightful to witness.
再來是冷血動物區，滿滿的蛇就讓朋友說起蛇語了，希望哈利波特迷不要打我們。
Next up was the reptile area, where the abundance of snakes made my friends speak Parseltongue. Hopefully, Harry Potter fans won't be mad at us!
接下來為各位介紹澳洲最兇猛的動物，Dingo中文翻譯叫做丁格犬。長相很像柴犬，但是卻是澳洲食物鏈最頂端的獵食者動物，除了獵食小動物之外連牛都是他們的獵物，是可以和獅子並列。
Next, let me introduce you to one of Australia's most ferocious animals, the Dingo, known as '丁格犬' in Chinese. They look somewhat like a Shiba Inu but are the top predators in the Australian food chain. They prey on small animals and even hunt down cattle. They're considered to be on par with lions in terms of their predatory status.
如果我沒有來這個動物園認識dingo，在野外看到可能還會想摸牠，因為真的長得很可愛。
Without learning about dingoes at this sanctuary, if encountered in the wild, one might even feel inclined to pet them because they do look incredibly cute.
再來往裡頭走到一個大草皮，就是袋鼠們的家了。
小袋鼠站起來大概是60公分我的一半，看起來非常可愛也比較無害，可以在園區的門口購買飼料餵食，飼料袋也是可食用材質所以袋鼠吃了也不會怎麼樣。
走在草皮找袋鼠時地上會有非常多的袋鼠便便，所以在走的時候我也非常的小心。
Moving further inside, you'll find a large grassy area, the home of the kangaroos. The smaller kangaroos, when standing, are about 60 centimeters tall, roughly half my height, appearing very cute and less threatening. Visitors can purchase feed at the entrance to offer them; the feed bags are also made of edible material, so it's harmless if the kangaroos ingest them. While walking through the grass to find the kangaroos, one needs to be cautious as there's a significant amount of kangaroo droppings on the ground.
小袋鼠真的很可愛也不太會怕生，大概是因為會有許多人餵飼料，袋鼠的毛摸起來是比較粗的觸感，不是像小白兔柔順的毛髮，也許是因為長期在戶外需要毛髮來保護。
Indeed, the little kangaroos are incredibly cute and quite approachable, probably due to the frequent feeding by many visitors. The kangaroo fur feels slightly coarse to the touch, unlike the softness of a bunny's fur, perhaps because their outdoor habitat demands fur for protection.
不止小袋鼠，園區也有成人袋鼠，但通常都是在角落曬太陽不太理人，但你也不會想要牠理你。
Besides the joeys (baby kangaroos), the sanctuary also houses adult kangaroos. They usually hang out in a corner, basking in the sun, generally indifferent to human interaction. They wouldn't bother you, and you wouldn't necessarily want to disturb them either.
捕捉到這隻成人袋鼠，真的非常的巨大，如果牠站起來應該會有180公分並且渾身肌肉，看看這個迷人的姿勢，我們還是遠遠看拍照就好了。
Spotting an adult kangaroo can indeed be quite impressive as they are significantly large. If one were to stand up, they might reach about 180 centimeters and possess a muscular physique. Admiring their fascinating presence from a distance and taking photos is probably the best approach.
園區也有鴨嘴獸，因為鴨嘴獸是在室內而裡頭非常昏暗所以就在外面與模型鴨嘴獸合照。
Within the sanctuary, there are platypuses. However, as they are housed indoors in a dimly lit area, visitors often take photos with the model platypuses placed outside.
真的很喜歡澳洲的動物園其中一個原因還有動物都是半開放式的觀賞，除了可以更近的距離觀察動物之外，也會不自覺的會有更想保護動物的心態。澳洲也是保護動物有名的國家，在這種環境之下也會很自然的尊重大自然中的動物們。
I really love Australian zoos, mainly because the animals are displayed in semi-open enclosures. Besides being able to observe the animals up close, it unconsciously instills a greater desire to protect them. Australia is also renowned for its animal conservation efforts, and in this environment, there's a natural inclination to respect the animals in the wild.
