Shangri-la Resort, Fiji

Wallpaper

I’m in Fiji for 5 days, visiting my wife at her office… her boss was nice enough to give us an Ocean Bure, which is a self contained 1 bedroom cottage with a nice coral beach as its backyard. A storm moved across yesterday, so I ran out and quickly snapped these two pics.. More..

South Mission Beach – Nth Qld


Wallpaper

We left Mission Beach after 2 nights and travelled towards Townsville to catch a 3pm flight back to Sydney. On the way we stopped at South Mission Beach, which is around 5kms from the main Mission Beach.
There was a lot of damage done to this area when a cyclone hit in February, with nearby Dunk Island bearing the brunt. More Pics“>

Mission Beach – Nth Queensland

Wallpaper

 We left Cairns on Friday morning and drove a couple of hours south to Mission Beach. Mission is one of my favourite Nth Qld beaches, its never crowded and has a great tropical feel to it. More Pics

The Esplanade – Cairns, Qld



Wallpaper

I flew up to Cairns to stay for a couple of days before a planned trip to Mission Beach further south.  I stayed at the Shang-ri la hotel, which is right on the water.
As you can see from above pictures, Cairns doesn’t  really have a beach.. its more of a swampy, mudflat visited by the odd crocodile. There are some nice beaches a bit further north, but they require effort and action to get to.. which can be hard to muster in the tropical heat. Cairns Council solution to this was to build their own beach, complete with swimming pool and sand. More Pics

Newcastle Beaches – NSW

Wallpaper  | Beach Info

Went up to Newcastle to get my new tyres rotated, ended up needing to get my brakes looked at and by the time that was done I couldn’t be bothered driving back to Sydney so I booked into the Crowne Plaza on the Esplanade.

The next morning I went for a walk along the boardwalk, then down to Nobbys Beach (above).

Adventure Bay – Bruny Island, Tas

Wallpaper

After lunch at the Neck, we drove down to Adventure Bay where the storm had just passed by. Adventure Bay is an interesting place… they run a seal watching cruise from here to the south of the island which looks like fun… you would want to pick your day though. The place itself is pretty quiet.. we ended up a small cafe where we had a coffee.

The Neck – Bruny Island, Tasmania

Wallpaper | 3D Version

Spent last weekend in Tasmania.. flew into Launceston on a cheap fare from Sydney, then drove 2 hrs south to Hobart where we stayed at a Quest hotel on the harbour. Friday was our first full day on the island and the weather wasn’t great – cold and rainy – but we decided to go for a drive south to Bruny island to do some sightseeing and taste the local food, which included smoked salmon, oysters and cheese… More Pics

Saltwater National Park – NSW

Wallpaper | Beach Info

Slept at a friends house in Caves Beach on Friday night, then got up around 5am on Sat morning and drove 2hrs up to Saltwater National Park, which is around 350kms north of Sydney. There was a strong southerly swell predicted so we were hoping the surfbreak would be working, and we were not disappointed, with some good solid 2-3 metre waves rolling in.. (More 3 pics)

Coogee Beach – Sydney


Wallpaper | Beach Info

Went to Coogee Beach today for brunch, had an Monster Breakfast at Cafe Congo which needed to be walked off so headed up to the north end of the beach. The above shot is from the grassy bank near the north headland. Im not sure what the boats are used for.. they look like tenders, but there are no yachts moored nearby.  They may be for some type of rowing club or something… more pics
