Hokianga Harbour Heads, New Zealand
The Hokianga is on of New Zealand’s largest harbours, which is not to say that there are any large towns on it. I snapped this picture on the outskirts of Opononi – which I won’t be surprised if you have to look up! This picture shows the two taniwha (sea monsters) who guard the entrance…

Matai River at Nelson, New Zealand
Taken on a beautiful sunny Easter Sunday in Nelson. The Matai River runs through the town of Nelson and there is an attractive and easy walking/cycling track that runs along most of its length. There are some pretty nice houses to have a look at along the route as well and we passed by the appropriately named…

Photo of the Day: Melbourne Skyline From the Tasmanian Ferry
I took this photos as the ferry to Tasmania pulled out of Melbourne. Its unusual – not only was the morning completely calm, but most of the ferry’s sailings are overnight. I really liked how the just rising sun managed to highlight the older buildings along St Kilda Road on the waterfront, while the more…

Photo of the Day: Bell Gorge Western Australia
The smile says it all! I was sooo looking forward to this swim. Bell Gorge is a camping site on station on the Gibb River Road, Western Australia. We’d driven all day on dusty, rutted roads, knowing that somewhere near the camp site was a crocodile free swimming hole! We arrived about an hour before…
