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 !

Perth, Western Australia

Arrived in Perth at 5 am in the morning so after leaving our bags at our hotel we went for a jet lagged wander in what is a very compact and beautiful city. One of the first features we came across was the ultra modern Bell Tower - reputed to be the largest musical instrument in the world - which is down at the Esplanade next to a pub called 'The L...
