Hawkesbury River-Dangar Island－一顆想要同時自由旅行和有穩定陪伴和的心

事隔了快要一年
我終於找到機會又再出去走走

去年(2008)二月，在Tubamania認識了一個吹tuba的阿伯
他和我說他在Hawkesbury River上的Dangar Island有一個房子，並邀請我有空去島上玩
而那時我覺得他說的地方好遠，一直想去但是從來就沒有動力
過了一年半，來到了這個寒假
終於找到很有"行動力"的viola and ann和我一起去啦！

以下的敘述是從Wikipedia抄下來的：
『Dangar Island is a small forested island in the Hawkesbury River, just north of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It has a permanent population of about 250, which swells dramatically during holiday seasons. The island is serviced regularly by the Dangar Island Ferry service that departs from Brooklyn and which takes about ten minutes. The Brooklyn ferry is itself adjacent to the CityRail station of Hawkesbury River, The ferry service is in operation 7 days a week.』

島全貌

島上的介紹：『There are no private cars on the island. At one stage a couple of golf carts were imported, but due to protests from some of the islands residents, they have been phased out. The wheelbarrow is the main method used to haul goods from the ferry. The island has one shop/café, and a bowling club for members/visitors which has a bar. The island also has a community hall that supports several community groups, including a children's film workshop and mains water.

The island was connected to the water supply system by the then Sydney-based Water Board in the 1980s. The island has recently been connected to the Sydney sewerage system by Sydney Water, via a sub-marine pipeline to the mainland and a state-of-the-art treatment plant in Brooklyn. Septic tanks are being quickly phased out by most residents, providing a boost to the Hawkesbury waterways surrounding Dangar Island.』
從sydney inner-west過去的方法：
先坐火車inner-west line到Strathfield station
在從Strathfield station轉Newcastle line到Hawkesbury River station下車
下車後在往左手邊走到ferry Brooklyn wharf搭船到Dangar Island下船，就可以自行進去探險囉！
