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 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 158 - Thurs 13th Aug: On Condor, The Whitsundays

Today saw the start of a cruise on a boat called Condor, around the unbelievably scenic Whitsundays Islands. Here's Captain Mikey explaining something at sunset time.

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 151 - Thurs 6th Aug: The Great Barrier Reef

They should upgrade the name of this place the Awesome Barrier Reef! I went on one of those day trips from Cairns and went diving with a hired underwater camera. It's tricky to get great pics down there, but here's one of my best snaps.

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 147 - Sun 2nd Aug: Cape Tribulation

Went up to Cape Tribulation with my friend Anita for a couple of days, so we could go see some of the Great Barrier Reef from there. On our first day we did a bit of sea kayaking - cue overenthusiastic photo posing.

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 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 102 - Thurs 18th June: Pebbly Beach, NSW

Pebbly Beach - home to loads of Kangaroos.

Day 34 - Sat 11th April: Cathedral Cove

Here's a big splash down by the beach at Cathedral Cove.

(An actual pic of Cathedral Cove will appear at some point on my FlickR page)

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.

Day 28 - Sun 5th April: Bay Area, Auckland

Went for a cruise around the Bay Area in Auckland. This is some kind of important lighthouse in the history of NZ. (It might've been the first one but I couldn't hear the commentary properly...it was windy)

Day 23 - Tues 31st March: Diamond Head, Hawaii

Here's the view from the top of the volcanic crater, Diamond Head in Waikiki.

Look at all that coral.
