Amusing Bus stops in Canberra

These funny little buildings were dotted all over Canberra. Bus stops of the future I guess!

Cow in a tree in Melbourne

What more can I say really - Love it! If you love Australia - My Images are now for sale on Fine Art America - Please see my gallery at this link - Carl Koenig Gallery

Bum Burners in Hahndorf - German Village

When we saw this we just laughed out loud. Hahndorf is not far from Adelaide and is a German style town. Sausages are a popular delicacy.

Through the Window - Old Parliament House, Canberra

In Canberra everything has been designed in a particular way for a particular reason. This is a view of Old Parliament House from new Parliament House down the avenue with 'New Houses' fountain. Very clever...

Perth Wheel

Apologies for my recent spate of missed posts. Life has been busy!

As appears to be fashionable these days, Perth has a observation wheel. It is set by the water and offers awesome views.

Tram in Melbourne

Melbourne is famous for it's tram ways, they run down the middle of many of the roads. They certainly make driving in the city a little more tricky. If you love Australia - My Images are now for sale on Fine Art America - Please see my gallery at this link - Carl Koenig Gallery

Brisbane Riverfire 2010

It was the start of the Brisbane Festival yesterday and the famous Riverfire. Here is one of our best shots of the fireworks shooting off the famous Storey Bridge.

Spirit of Tasmania Ferry

This is the ferry from the Prot of Melbourne, Victoria over to Devonport in Tasmania. We took the 4x4 over with us and I thought the fare was reasonable. The journey takes 9 hours and we did an overnight run without the benefit of a cabin. Instead we had to sleep in what I can only descride as airplane chairs! Needless to say we were up early the next day watching the sun rise! I have a picture for a later date, stay tuned ;)

Gap Bluff - Sydney Harbour

We enjoyed the scenic drive around Sydney's outer coastal suburbs. This interesting shot was taken at Gap Bluff in Sydney Harbour National Park NSW. I think it could get pretty cold and windy up here in winter! Does anyone else think that the rocks in the ocean look like huge bricks lined up?

Torrens River, Adelaide

This is the very relaxed city of Adelaide and it's Torrens River. Adelaide is a very nice city with a lot of green space. It doesn't get the acolades and attention of Sydney and Melbourne but that's the way they seem to like it around here! Adelaide is the 5th biggest city in Australia and is also the driest. The road into Adelaide is the steepest, longest, fastest downhill run I have ever done - quite unnerving!

Parliament of Victoria - Melbourne

This Grand old building sits in Spring Street on the outskirts of Melbourne's city centre. The building was started in 1855 and was completed in stages in 1929. We liked Melbourne a lot and I think the thing that stood out the most was the history and old buildings that are still prominent there.

Port Douglas Marina

We spent a lovely lunch here chatting and looking out over the Marina in Port Douglas. Port Douglas is a popular tourist stop just north of Cairns. Shopping and eating here are good, not to mention the idyllic beach.

Beach Huts on Brighton Beach - Melbourne

This image of colourful 'Bathing Boxes' was taken on Brighton Beach in Melbourne. Despite being no more than a shed these will set you back A$200,000! There are 82 of these in total and the chance to buy does not come along very often. They are also a great tourist attraction.

Perth - River City...

Somebody asked me if I had a nice shot of Perth I could post. This one springs to mind, took lots of night shots here whilst my wife was on on a 3 hours phone call to the UK!! We liked Perth and it would be our favourite Australian city if it didn't feel so isolated. Lovely city, good memories.

Historic Hobart

Today's image is of Salamanca Place in Hobart Tasmania. Every Saturday this areas fills up with locals and tourists visiting the markets. In the evening it's popular for it's resturants and bars. We really liked Hobart - it's old charm reminded us of England and the old buildings there.

Canberra - The Nations Capital

Well Monday is here again and a lot of us will be back at work... sadly!

Today's image is from Canberra, a new city designed to stop the bickering about becoming the Capital between Sydney and Melbourne.
Canberra is a very attractive city with lots of parks and memorials, even the roads are beautiful. That's just as well as if you have ever tried to drive in Canberra you will understand how easy it to take a wrong turn!
