It was 27 degrees on my cars outside temperature gauge today.

I doubt winter is done quite yet but it certainly feels like its warming up here…

The area is an old volcanic valley with a natural harbour about 2 and 1/2 times the size of Sydneys waterways.

Fantastic hotel, great food, long walks, whales tails, dolphins, kangaroos, amazing beaches, some very odd looking cone geography, HUGE national parks with bush stretching to the horizon, the biggest moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere (apparently), and a bit phototastic…happy days.

I first saw his timelapsing here.

This is the best one I have seen yet…really inspiring.

It was established in 1879 and is the worlds second oldest national park after Yellowstone. The park is 15000 hectares and includes a long ragged coastline, loads of beaches, and rolling hills, gullys and rocky outcrops covered in bush.

It is the furthest we have been from Sydney so far and made me even more keen to see other parts of this huge country.

My mate told me about the Nick Brandt Exhibition so we went to have a look. I have seen some of the images before but didnt know who the photographer was.

The prints in the gallery were huge, I mean seriously HUGE…and there were some truly epic images.

I think the Elephant drinking is his most famous image…only 8 of these massive prints were put up for sale…and they sold out despite the $100k price!

A couple of my favourite images, many more images here.
