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 !

West Coast 'Apostles'

April 13, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
We have the lady in Stewart Nimmo gallery in Greymouth to thank for recommending we take the longer coastal route to Nelson via Westport. The coastline was magnificent and made up for the fact that we didn't manage to do the Great Ocean Road and the 12 Apostles' while we were in Melbourne. Give www.stewartnimmo.co.nz a look - his photographs of Sou...

Hokitika, West Coast

This is a seaside resort where we stopped for lunch. We had one of the famous NZ pies to do the Greggs comparison test (market research - someone's got to do it). More choice of fillings, smaller in size but very tasty.....better? Need to try another couple before coming to a decision.
