Me chasing birds for the picture. I didn't realise I was going to be in it!

This is the view as we were getting to the centre from Manley on the ferry

Balmoral Beach

Balmoral Beach

One of my favourite places in Sydney... it makes you forget you're in a city.

The beach the locals rate as the one to go to in Sydney.

Art Gallery of NSW

Art Gallery of NSW

Well worth a trip, the art gallery of New South Wales has some great exhibitions.

Coogee to Manley

Coogee to Manley

Just one of many beautiful sights to see when doing the Coogee to Bondi walk I mentioned in the post.

Bondi Iceberg Club

Bondi Iceberg Club

Founded in 1929 the swimming club is a great place to go for a snack after the Coogee to Bondi walk. We felt very flash for a day.

Bondi Beach Graffiti

Bondi Beach Graffiti

The walls surrounding the iconic beach have constantly changing graffiti pieces. Probably the best reason to visit.

One of Sydneys oldest buildings, the elegant Queen Victoria Building was constructed between 1893 and 1898.

One of my favourite photos of the city.

Ignorance is bliss... in Fraser Island
Lake McKenzie

One of the most wonderful beaches I have ever swum in.

The gorgeous freshwater lake where you can drink and bathe in the water.

Lush

Sub tropical rainforest.

Invisible Creek

Invisible Creek

This is actually a picture of a stream of water. It's so clear that you can't even see it. Honest!

Hammerstone Sandblow

Hammerstone Sandblow

The movement of this dune is actually what has caused Lake Wabby below to form.

Lake Wabby

Lake Wabby

This sparkling emerald lake will probably not exist in about a decade due to changes in climate.

Maheno Shipwreck

Maheno Shipwreck

This rusting wreck was once a luxury cruise liner, washed ashore in 1935.

Dingo

Dingo

Apparently you should keep your distance from this aggressive animal. If they approach you, stay calm and look fearless. (We saw a few and they seemed pretty harmless).

A 4x4

is the only way to go around this sandy island.

Catching the wave... in Agnes Water

The surf instructor made the whole afternoon a lot more fun. The sunblock face paint was his idea, of course...

Coral

Cone shell

Cone shell

Apparently these bright, venomous creatures attack and paralyse in order to defend themselves and hunt their prey and should therefore never be handled by humans. If you pick them up, prepare to die.

Wild Pineapple

Wild Pineapple

Following the Australian theme of everything can kill you, this Pandanus tree bears fruit that resembles a pineapple - it is of course, deadly if eaten.
