Ben Lomond, Tasmania Australia -- 1001 Natural Wonders


        Ben Lomond, 1,570 m AHD (5,151 feet), is a mountain in the north of Tasmania. It is east of Launceston in the Ben Lomond National Park. Tasmania's premier Alpine skiing operations are located at Ben Lomond and it is one of two mountains with downhill skiing facilities in the State. Its accessibility from Launceston, together with the existence of a ski village on the plateau make Ben Lomond an all year round favorite for tourists and hikers. Access to the village and summit can be made via several walking tracks or via a zig-zag road known as "Jacobs Ladder".The area consists of an outstanding variety of glacial and periglacial features which are considered of national significance.
        澳洲塔斯曼島的諾曼山國家公園(Ben Lomond National Park) 位於塔斯曼島的北邊,高1570m是座冰河地形的陡峭高山. 這是塔斯曼島出名的滑雪勝地也是登山者的樂園,終年遊客川流不息.山勢的陡峭和植物的多樣性被列入1001世界奇觀.我們先由停車場走步道登上山頂,整座諾曼山非常Rocky,山峰有整排陡峭的石柱,山坡是冰河時期留下來的滾滾巨石.上到山脊後是一片平緩高原,巨石搭配雪水滋養的許多苔蘚和野花,形成一望無際的石頭花園,直得讓你花一天的時間躺佯其間. 下山後我們開車沿著出名的"雅各天梯"上到滑雪場,在這裡遇到騎摩托車浪跡天涯已兩年的德國人,他對自然美景的執著令人感動.
