When in Sydney, please visit the Botanical Gardens. They are a delight to walk through. Every time I visited Sydney, I made sure to enjoy a walk through these beautiful gardens. And after you’ve seen everything, you can keep on walking towards Bennelong Point, where the Sydney Opera House is. I have no idea whatContinueContinue reading “Orange is the new green”

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!”
Sydney
It was a magical feeling to see the Sydney Opera House for the first time. The realisation that you’re looking at an iconic building on the other side of the world simply blows my mind. I’ve seen the Sydney Opera House several times and every time I feel the same magical feeling. I can’t describeContinueContinue reading “Sydney”
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”
Pink paintbrush
This photo was taken from the window of my hostel room when I stayed at Elm Lodge in Dunedin. Looks pretty amazing, right? I love cloudy skies like this one. It’s almost like someone used a pink paintbrush and added some colour. There’s even a pinkish glow over all the houses. I didn’t use anyContinueContinue reading “Pink paintbrush”
Barossa Valley
During my second visit to Australia in April 2005, I travelled to the Barossa Valley in South Australia. I used to hate wine, but after being introduced to delicious New Zealand wines (their white wines are exquisite!), I was willing to give Australian wine a try. At the time I was staying with a family withContinueContinue reading “Barossa Valley”
