Pandan Island - The Philippines

Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road - Australia

Well here we are its pushing 1 am in Sydney Airport. And its officially been shut down so we have been ushered into the bowels of the airport as it doesn't stay open through the night, Tomorrow we fly to Manila in the Philippines. Anyway I have just uploaded some pictures from Melbourne I have to say it gives Sydney a run for its money for which is the best cosmopolitan city. Also we traveled by car along "The Great Ocean Road" this project was embarked upon after WWI when the many returning soldiers wanted to build something significant to honor all those who died in the War we found stunning coastal scenery on winding road.

Darwin - Australia

Darwin - Australia: it was hot when we got off the plane and this at 6 a.m....We realized pretty quickly we will be confronted with a different type of Australia here. And indeed it was: crocodile warnings everywhere, 3 meter long snakes on the roads and a speed limit of 130 km/h (normal ones are 110 km/h).

Although our stay was very short (three days) we could visit two different National Parks, the famous World Heritage listed Kakadu Park - witness of very old Aborigines tradition and home of hundreds of crocodiles. The second one is Lichtfield full of refreshing waterfalls and 5 meter high termite mountains.

Tassie (Tasmania) - Australia

We spent 8 days in total in Tassie, In my opinion parts of it have to be the most pristine pieces of wildernesses
in the world- the photos speak for themselves. We did the Overland track, a 80 km trek through Cradle Mountain National park. It was bloody tough I have to admit! but was worth the effort and boy that beer tasted good at the end! . The people here were also super friendly, great food and more important great beer in Salamanca square in Hobart.
