GAR Jan18 00 Cover.indd 1 Welcome to Colours We hope you enjoyed a festive and exciting New Year celebration. As we look back on the launch of the ‘kangaroo route’, we begin our issue this month with a stop at the Greater Blue Mountains in Australia. Only two hours from Sydney, here one finds dramatic landscapes of endless eucalyptus trees, cliffs, waterfalls and quiet countryside. Back in Indonesia, we take you to Kepahiang, the highlands of Bengkulu, where Rafflesia arnoldii grows. Beyond its charming views, this hilly region in West Sumatra has also long been known for its tea and coffee producers, dating back to the colonial era. From here we fly out to eastern Indonesia to explore Sabu Raijua and its pink soil, underwater beauty and pristine beaches. Finally, we head over to Taiwan, a top shopping destination in Asia with spectacular natural beauty. Kami berharap perayaan Tahun Baru Anda sangat menyenangkan. Memperingati pembukaan Kangaroo Route, kami mengawalinya dengan menyinggahi The Greater Blue Mountains di Australia. Hanya dua jam dari Sydney, Anda akan menemui pemandangan dramatis, meliputi cakrawala pohon kayu putih yang tak berujung, tebing curam, air terjun dan desa-desa yang sepi. Kembali ke Indonesia, kami mengajak Anda ke Kepahiang, dataran tinggi Bengkulu tempat bunga Rafflesia Arnoldi tumbuh. Daerah berbukit di pesisir barat Sumatera yang memiliki pemandangan memikat ini juga penghasil teh dan kopi dari zaman kolonial hingga sekarang. Setelah itu, kami beranjak ke Indonesia Timur, Sabu Raijua, untuk menjelajahi tanahnya yang berwarna merah jambu, surga bawah laut dan pantai pasir putih yang memanjakan mata. Dan akhirnya, kami terbang ke Taiwan yang tak hanya terkenal sebagai tempat belanja di kawasan Asia, namun juga menyimpan keindahan alam yang spektakuler. 12/22/17 12:22 A
