I'm sure we've done this before, but lets do it again!

Post some photos of your favourite parts of Australia......


Has to be Tasmania for me, so here's some from last week - Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake, Port Arthur and a nearby cove - one of my favourite beach spots, and The Neck on Bruny Island - home to a large penguin rookery.

These are Mount Wellington - from my last trip - one of the mountain from the city, then the others are from the top, 1276 metres, had snow last September when I was up there

Right click and view image on the bigger pictures


I love some of the inner urban places of Melbourne.... Smith St Collingwood for example.





Yarra River and South Bank...



The urban beer gardens of the Inner North, particuarly the Cornish Arms.... all slightly different and very quirky.


Apologies re the size of the Pictures.





Spoiler:


Sydney Rd at Festival time.....

Plus I definitely love Tasmania.

I just watched the sunset on a rather large white sandy beach in Strahan on the west coast of Tasmania. Stunning stuff. Took a quick dip too. Not too bad. Have had colder. What an amazing part of the world. No wonder its a heritage area.

Sorry, but the last two are far too small for me to see, can you make them a wee bit bigger?..

Sorry OE - great pics but just too large and I don't know if I can resize them. For anyone else, they will appear if you click on the show button

Ocean Beach? Strahan is stunning, I love to sit at the harbour there and watch the sun set over the sea. You're right,it is an amazingly beautiful part of the world.

The sunset pic doesn't do it justice unfortunately - the others are from a river cruise up the Goordon from Strahan a couple of years ago.

Found some pictures of the Whitsundays on my iPad, visited in December 2014 just before I left. I tried to upload a few pictures but it is only retaining the last one
