Day 175 - Sun 30th Aug: Yamba

Here's a crashing wave and therefore another coastline picture (well, I am travelling down the east coast) from the little town of Yamba. They have a lighthouse here too, but I thought I'd spare you a pic of that.

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 168 - Sun 23rd Aug: Noosa Heads

A quiet day spent surfing this morning; general pottering around in the afternoon so lacking in photo opps. But hey, here's another sunset! (The PSC: 48)

Day 167 - Sat 22nd Aug: Noosa Heads

The trip's picturesque sunset counter (The PSC) now reads: 47
This one's over Noosa Heads

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 124 - Fri 10th July: The Twelve Apostles


The jewel in the Great Ocean Road's crown - the Twelve Apostles, a series of limestone stacks slowly getting eroded away by the waves. I couldn't quite get the 'postcard' picture as the weather wasn't up to much today. Here's a pic of me with Yuval.

Some fake pelicans down at Merimbula Lake

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 57 - Mon 4th May: Wharariki Beach, Farewell Spit area

Stunning beach scenery around the Farewell Spit area (thanks to Stef for the tip) with undulating sand dunes. Down at Wharariki Beach you get a few seals playing around in the rock pools

Day 30 - Tue 7th April: Cape Reiga

Here's the lighthouse at New Zealand's most northern (accessible) point: Cape Reiga

Day 29 - Mon 6th April: Paihia

Here's the coastline in the town of Paihia. The treaty of Whitangi was signed here years ago, where the British promised to protect the Maori and their land from any potential foreign invasion.
