Hi Everyone

We are on a 6 week trip of a lifetime visiting Singapore (2 nights), Perth (5 nights), Melbourne (4 nights), touring the South and then the North Islands of New Zealand for nearly a month, finishing with 3 nights in Hong Kong.

A wonderful opportunity to take photographs of so many contrasting cultures and landscapes. We would like to share a selection of images we have taken along the way on our Nikon D7000 and D800 cameras. We hope you enjoy them and continue to follow us on our adventures.

(The most recent post will be the first you will see so by working backwards and through the 'older posts' you will get to the beginning of the trip. Posts will be added when we get the selected images processed and internet access).

Enjoy !

Small numbers of Chinese miners came over to work in the gold mines at the end of the 19th century. Not initially welcomed they settled in this primitive style of accommodation on the edge of town.

It probably happens in Britain but we haven't noticed it as much as in NZ where patches of a tree change to autumn colours while the adjacent tree remains unchanged.
