点评:Like others we found the $65 each (seniors) cost of the 2.5hr tour to be hardly worth the money. Some of it was at the public viewing area which is free to visit, then there is a traverse to the other end where the bus travels around the processing plant and mine truck maintenance area - but does not enter the pit area. There is a one stop at a private viewing area, but no shelter there, unlike the public viewing area, and the view is no better. The commentry was informative and interesting but hard to hear in a moving bus. Getting up close to the dump trucks while they are being washed and repaired was worthwhile, but to us not much better than standing next to one at the public viewing spot. Overall, an O.K. tour (and our driver had a great sense of humour) but for pensioners where $'s count, we would recommend just going to the free viewing spot.
翻译:和其他人一样,我们也觉得这项时长2.5小时的游览项目对于老年人而言收费65美元实在不值。游览过程中有一部分是在免费向公众开放的观景区进行的;之后巴士会驶向另一端,绕行加工厂及矿用卡车维修区——但并不会进入矿坑区域。途中还会在一处私人观景区停一次,但该处没有遮蔽设施,与公共观景区不同,视野也并无更佳之处。讲解内容既实用又有趣,但在行驶的巴士上很难听清楚。能够近距离观看自卸卡车的清洗与维修过程确实值得,但对我们而言,这和在公共观赏区站在卡车旁边观看也没太大区别。总的来说,这是一次尚可的游览体验(我们的司机还很有幽默感)。不过对于那些很在意花费的退休人员来说,我们建议直接去免费的观赏区就好。
