Recently I took a trip to the countries down under to watch the total solar eclipse of 2012. This is the story of how this trip went and what I saw there...
I will not bore you with the details of the trip to Australia just yet (maybe on a later post :p ), but I'll show you a preview, a "best of" if you will, of what's to come.
This... is Sydney :

| Financial Centre |
 |
| purple tree and moon, early morning |
 |
| The Sydney Opera and Bridge at night |
 |
| Sydney at night |

And because Sydney offers some interesting wildlife, here are some of my favourites:
 |
| Humpback whales: mother and calf |
 |
| Humpback whale waving its tale |
 |
| Medusas :) |
 |
| Meeting at twilight |
 |
| Rex, the crocodile, eager for visitors :) |
I didn't stay just in Sydney, after all the country is full of wonderful places to visit:
 |
| boats in Cairns harbour |
 |
| out on the boat |
 |
| coral reefs straight ahead! |
 |
| tornado in sight. beware! |
 |
| Uluru / Ayers Rock |
 |
| yep, definitely watch out for kangaroos out here |
 |
| Kata Tjuta |
 |
| Uluru at sunset |
And now that you've seen some of the beauties of Australia, let's move to its neighbour, New Zealand:
 |
| Rotorua, North Island |
 |
| Maori boat - details |
 |
| Rotorua museum, before sunset |
 |
| same Rotorua museum, just closer |
 |
| Mount Ngauruhoe, at the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a.k.a "Mount Doom" (Lord of the Rings) |
 |
| The Emerald Lakes, inside the Tongariro Alpine Crossing |
 |
| Wellington harbour |
 |

Stay tuned for a more detailed account of my adventures in these wonderful places.
