Day 173 - Fri 28th Aug: Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay

I'm gonna give this picture description the 'Ronseal treatment': it's some guy surfing.

Day 166 - Fri 21st Aug: Lake Birrabeen, Fraser Island

Got the 'artsy' photographer's hat on today: some seed thing on the beach at Lake Birrabeen.

Did you know that Fraser Island is considered to be the world's largest all sand island? FACT!

Day 165 - Thurs 20th Aug: The Maheno Shipwreck, Fraser Island

I'm suffering from bloggers dilemma today...too many candidates for pic of the day! The view from Indian Head - awesome; the sunset at the jetty - awesome; pics of crashing waves - awesome. But I've gone with this one of the Maheno Shipwreck. As I'm a slightly lazy blogger at times, I'll just post a link for more info on the boat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maheno_(ship)

Day 164 - Weds 19th Aug: Lake McKenzie, Fraser Island

There's so many good photo opps on Fraser Island. This is the white sand beach down by Lake McKenzie - a fresh water lake that's been created only via rainfall.

Day 163 - Tues 18th Aug: Agnes Water to Hervey Bay

Mmmm....bit of a quiet day today as I made my way to Hervey Bay. So quiet in fact that I took no pics, so here's one from the beach yesterday evening.

Day 162 - Mon 17th Aug: Flying over Agnes Water and 1770

Went for a flight in a lightweight aeroplane around this awesome coastline. Bruce (the pilot) even let me have a (quick) go at flying the plane!

Day 160 - Sat 15th Aug: On an island somewhere in the Whitsundays

Went for a morning walk around one of the islands (can't remember which one) on our last day on Condor. No pure white sand at this beach still an impressive place nonetheless.

Day 159 - Fri 14th Aug: Whitehaven Beach, The Whitsundays

Holy coastlines Batman! We cruised on up to Whitehaven Beach (99% pure silica sand) and there were soooooo many good photos taken today, it was tricky just picking one. Here's an arty driftwood type one.

Day 153 - Sat 8th Aug: Coconut Beach, Dunk Island

Another day, another stunning beach! C'est la vie!
Went for a pretty cool walk around Dunk Island, climbing up a big hill, walking down via a rainforest and then ending up at this beach.

Day 152 - Fri 7th Aug: Mission Beach

Overcast day and not up to much today...but here's a view of Dunk Island. I'll be heading over there tomorrow.

Day 148 - Mon 3rd Aug: Cape Tribulation Beach

Cape Tribulation is meant to be one of the most picturesque places in the world. Bright blue skies, great beaches, crystal clear waters, etc, etc. But for the whole time we were there it was cloudy with spots of rain. The weather was so bad today that they cancelled our boat trip out to the reef. Rubbish! Here's two random guys coming back to the (grey and slighly miserable) beach.

Day 144 - Thurs 30th July: Mindil Beach, Darwin

There's a sunset market down at Mindil Beach in Darwin, here's the view from the nearby beach.

Day 115 - Weds 1st July: Bay of Fires, Tasmania

Lonely Planet has named the Bay of Fires the world's hottest travel destination in 2009. It does look a load better in the sunshinen though: http://pinnacletimes.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/binalongbay01.jpg

Day 113 - Mon 29th June: Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania

Ridiculously picturesque coastlines in this national park - even on a winter's day

Day 106 - Mon 22nd June: Phillip Island

Not much happening on Phillip Island today, so I went down to Woolami Beach for a little bit. Here's another surfing pic.

Day 102 - Thurs 18th June: Pebbly Beach, NSW

Pebbly Beach - home to loads of Kangaroos.

Day 97 - Sat 13th June: Bondi Beach, Sydney

Today was the start of a road trip from Sydney to Melbourne. Before leaving the Sydney area, I popped down to Bondi Beach. As the sign indicates, they do surfing here.

Day 75 - Fri 22nd May: Ulva Island, off Stewart Island

Popped over to Ulva Island where bird life flourishes due to a lack of natural predators. As well as seeing plenty of birds, this sea elephant cruised up to the shore for a nap. It's absolutely massive and our boat driver told us that the creature is only 5 years old, so he's not even full size yet!

Day 44 - Tues 21st April: The Beach, Raglan

Went to Raglan and learnt how to surf

Day 36 - Mon 13th April: Mercury Bay

Dark and mysterious: Buffalo Beach by night.
