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 171 - Weds 26th Aug: Brisbane River

Not much happening today, so went for a cruise around the Brisbane River on a CityCat Ferry. Here's some hard working folk heading home for the day.

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 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 145 - Fri 31st July: Flew to Cairns but...

...this isn't Cairns. Got the 5am flight from Darwin to Cairns and didn't take any photos today. So, here's a recent 'filler' photo from the harbour area of Darwin in the daytime.

Day 137 - Thurs 23rd July: Devils Marbles


More red stone today....this time in the shape of the Devils Marbles, a result of millions of years of erosion.

Day 133 - Sun 19th July: The Red Centre


Look how red the sand is here -that's oxidising iron on a big scale

Day 132 - Sat 18th July: Uluru at sunset

Perhaps not the best picture I took all day, but def one of the most iconic and cliched.
Picture of Uluru at sunset? Done!

Day 130 - Thurs 16th July: Mount Olsen Bagge, Flinders Ranges

Shock horror! Another picture of me on the blog. Today we did another hike, this time to the top of Mount Olsen Bagge.
