Hi, I haven't been on for a couple of years...my time is taken up mostly with painting (art, not walls...).
We had a road trip around the South Island New Zealand last October. Was very beautiful.
A 3 hour hike to see the country's highest peak, Mt. Cook (Aoraki). We were so lucky with the weather, cold, but sunny after a very foggy morning.
Great photos...each one tells a story.
[So right. So vast and peaceful, and cars are few and far between on some roads, drivers actually wave hello.quote]At least U do not have the pesky traffic and silly people behind the steering wheel that really shouldn't be there that don't know how to drive and get in your way in the cities[/quote]
Thanks...I feel like I couldn't possibly describe what the outback is like to anyone who is not from Australia. Earl, you probably get what I mean.
We've travelled 7,800 kilometres (4,800 miles) to Darwin on the far north coast. Now after 5 weeks, back on the east coast.
Reaching the Northern Territory border is a milestone, and quite a thrill.
Heading into the Northern Territory.

Leaving behind the quirky characters, pubs, remoteness that is the Northern Territory.

[A lot of second world war history here in the north, especially up around Darwin.quote=rdemarco52]Always nice to see that our efforts are appreciated. Nice photos.[/quote]
I haven't been to Fremantle, way over the other side of the country.
One day maybe.

Hi Earl, hope you're well.

Nice pics, Jude.
Hi all, I've been AWOL for some time.
For the past 5 weeks, Paul and I have been driving around the outback, having a great time in our wide brown land.
Townsville was bombed during the second world war, there was a strong American presence here, and the attack was short lived. This memorial commemorates the Americans who helped us.
Thanks for those interesting facts. Your photos are wonderful, makes me want to go back...I kissed the Blarney Stone in 1973, after going all the way from Australia.
How lucky were you. One unforgettable experience. Thanks for showing us.
Dramatic and gorgeous colours.
I love this. I never see anything like it where I live.
Wonderful action shots. I love them.
