澳洲人的Seachange现象日益浮现



据12月22日《澳洲人报》头版头条报道,昆士兰州黄金海岸北部的彩虹沙滩(Rainbow Beach)正吸引越来越多的澳洲Seachangers。

Rainbow Beach, about three hours north of Brisbane and the gateway to
Fraser Island, is typical of the former fishing villages that are now being made
over as more Australians try to find the "new Noosa".


Places such as Yamba in northern NSW, Blueys Beach near Forster in NSW, Apollo Bay in Victoria, and Yallingup in Western Australia are all towns that have previously been just a bit too far outside capital cities.

But now they're changing. The coastal strips close to Australia's major cities, such as the central coast in NSW, the Gold and Sunshine coasts in Queensland, and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, have all grown quickly since the 1990s and are now getting crowded and, for many, overpriced.

It's the places just past these - such as Rainbow Beach, about an hour
north of Noosa - that are now undergoing their own metamorphoses.
