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 !

Fiona and Alan

Overlooking the town is a war memorial. The surrounding trees were changing to their autumn colours, which against the piercing blue sky made this an even more memorable site. Examples of the autumn colours to follow.

There are lots of small picturesque churches in Arrowtown - this one was particularly attractive and was shouting take a picture of me.

This old house is being rented out as a vacation home (hopefully with 20th century amenities).

Horses and carts would have been more authentic but you can see the original buildings are being used by restaurants and shops.

Arrowtown, outside Queenstown

April 11, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
A visit to Arrowtown, a mere 25 minute drive from Queenstown, was highly recommended by friends and is a 'must do' in all the travel books. We totally endorse this and stayed on longer in this tastefully preserved gold mining settlement.

Jet boating - Shotover Gorge

April 11, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
It's okay Mum we didn't do this although it looked good fun if you don't suffer from motion sickness (that counts out Fiona). The boat does 360 spins and travels very close to obstructions in the water.

Shotover Gorge, outside Queentown

Now this water is not very deep yet as the follow image shows you only need a few inches of water to do jet boating, which is very popular all over the Queenstown area.

Fiona had the same look on her face - something about not sure the brakes would work. What a big woose! Ok that's enough adrenalin pumping activity.
