My trip to visit the Blue Mountains was tops.

Mountain Culture brewery put on some great beers and wings.

The walks around the Three Sisters are well worth it.

We even went for a lap around the Mount Panorama track in Bathurst.

Also, the people of Katoomba wear sick hats.

We visited Coral bay in July. It was a lovely escape from winter.

The weather was warm and we managed some reef snorkeling and to spot some fish, turtles, and whales.

The drive up the coast is long but beautiful. The WA countryside looks like nowhere else I’ve been.

K’gari (Fraser Island) is beautiful.

We spent a few days there between Christmas and New Years.

It was the busy season and the island was packed with four wheel drivers. It felt like there were about fifty vehicles parked up for a swim at Eli Creek while we were there. We never felt crowded though, the island is huge.

Everyone bangs on about Lake McKenzie, and for good reason, it is beautiful.

The Illumina light show was an audiovisual delight.

The island is well worth a visit.

I was in Mexico for work a couple of weeks ago and managed to steal away for a little to take some photos around Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque.
