Punakaiki, a small place on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Home to the pancake rocks and some very rugged and stunning coast line. Every time I look at this photo I discover something new; a couple of rocks, a new layer of depth, a new colour, a boat on the horizon. Punakaiki’s part ofContinueContinue reading “Punakaiki”

Town with a view
Admittedly, Queenstown is a party town. I don’t like partying, so that part of town doesn’t appeal to me. There is, on the other hand, a lot to do in and around Queenstown. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, Queenstown is the place to be. I myself have done my bungy jump here inContinueContinue reading “Town with a view”
Off the beaten campsite
One of the advantages of travelling around New Zealand with your own campervan is the freedom. In principle, you can camp almost anywhere in New Zealand. However, sady enough many travellers have shown an inability to clean up after themselves, and be respectful towards nature and people. This has resulted in residents not wanting the campervansContinueContinue reading “Off the beaten campsite”
Banks Peninsula
Perhaps one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets is the Banks Peninsula. Just a short drive or bus ride from Christchurch, it isn’t too hard to get to an amazing part of the country’s South Island. I learnt of Akaroa, a town on the peninsula, from a fellow backpacker, who had swam with dolphins there.ContinueContinue reading “Banks Peninsula”
Victor Harbor
South Australia is a very hot and dry state. When I was there temperatures easily hit 40 degrees C and it wasn’t even during the Summer time! Still, a barren landscape like this contrasts beautifully with the bright, blue ocean. This photo was taken from the Bluff in Victor Harbor, a small town about aContinueContinue reading “Victor Harbor”
Sheep jam!
Only in New Zealand, right? I mean, in a country with around 60 million sheep, this just had to happen sometime! 🙂 I’d gotten a lift from fellow backpackers and somewhere along the way (I believe it was the Lindiss Pass, but I’m not sure) we got into this huge sheep jam. We had toContinueContinue reading “Sheep jam!”
The Balconies
On the left you can see ‘The Balconies’ in a beautiful area known as ‘The Grampians’. The Grampians is a National Park in Victoria, Australia. Years ago, people were allowed to stand on The Balconies, but this is no longer the case, as it’s damaging to the formation and unsafe as well. When I was there,ContinueContinue reading “The Balconies”
Clouds
As you may know, I love cloudy skies, so I just had to take a photo of this fascinating cloudy sky over a glacial lake. I can’t remember exactly where this was, but I think somewhere in Mackenzie country. The colours of this landscape are so different from what I’m used to so I reallyContinueContinue reading “Clouds”
