Seeing the Great Barrier Reef for the first time whilst on my honeymoon when we flew over it in a seaplane. Truly truly amazing

We have lots that watch us play soccer although technically they're wallabies as you don't get roos this far north. also seen a few near tinaroo dam and unfortunately hit one the other week in the 4wd. Tried to avoid it but once it saw our headlights it ran towards the car ! crazy things !

The view i wake up to each morning!
That and the wildlife that pays us a visit ('roos, bandicoots, possums, bobtails, monitor lizards, parrots, cockatoos etc), definitely a change from village life in Cambridgeshire.

That is a stunning shot 
Is that the sea in the distance or just a line of cloud - whatever, you're in a fab position

Yup.. it is a beautiful place... i have lived in many places in many countries and this is my favorite place to be. We are very lucky to have found such a beautiful place. The white is low cloud that we seem to get most mornings in the valley below us. Sunsets are pretty nice too

Re: Coolest thing you have seen in Australia?
One of the coolest things has got to be while having smoko (grub break at work) sitting in New Farm park.We were eating our grub watching 2 dolphins slowly cruising up the Brissy River.Sure Ive seen them in the wild ,even fed them at Moreton Island but this was in the middle of a busy city AND I was getting paid for it.Quality!!!
