Uluru is simply stunning. It is indeed a wonderous and majestic natural wonders of this precious planet Earth. Positioned in its very central place in the heart of the continent of Australia, it dominates the adjacent landscape, as it emerges so boldly, so powerfully and so serenely from the relative…

Returning after a fun day on the reef snorkelling. Highly recommended. So here we are back in one of our favourite places, 1770. And of course, Agnes Water just 5km up the road. Both are different but complementary. So just some quick pictures, one including the wonderful view from our…
Main beach looking south toward the town of 1770 and Agnes Water. Tannum Sands, a nice town south of Gladstone, and next to Boyne Island and the Boyne River. Had a nice lunch here after driving in from Carnarvon Gorge. What a contrast, from the outback. Both, of course, are…
A rugged, ancient and beautiful place. Carnarvon Gorge National Park is roughly 800 km west-north-west from Brisbane, or 250 km north of Roma, on the road to Emerald, in central Queensland, Australia. Taking the turn off the highway includes a sealed road to the camping and accommodation area some 40…
Yes it is iconic. But you have to stop here for a picture. On such a scenic drive, between Cairns to the south, and Port Douglas to the north. And a very good road, when you drive sensibly. And avoid cyclone season I would expect.
The beautiful Mossman Gorge. Mighty river, clean, cool. Stunning and exhilarating rain forest. Dangerous plants for the naïve. Do the indigenous tour if possible. Looking downstream. Churning rapids. Wonderful and safe pathways to explore. Everything is so beautiful. Every tree so wonderous. Such diversity of plants. The rainforest version of…
Leaving port for a serene day of sailing. Snorkeling at Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef, just off the coast. Cruising in style. Check out the tender! Port Douglas marina. Take your pick!
Our breakfast cafe. Just stay away from the edge of the water. More views and building in crocodile territory. The lush golf course looking great after recent rains. Plenty of others spots to dine, in the main drag and down at the marina. And this time of the year best…
Great for walk, so scenic. But take your chances with crocodiles, not! Local advice, do not swim here. There were some hardy souls, and kite-surfers who braved the conditions. Or their ignorance was their bliss. Looking north on Four Mile Beach. It is an interesting scenario on these beaches. So…
The beautiful rainforest area of far north Queensland. If you are near Cairns, best to do the Sky Rail trip up to and back from the lovely village of Kuranda. If you do, you will be rewarded by some of these views. And this is Winter! Such a contrast even…
