This natural rock arch is at
Jenolan Caves, Nr Lithgow, NSW, and the area is well worth visiting. You are almost
guaranteed to see wallabies and kangaroos. Also, the natural limestone caves are well
worth visiting. If you have previously visited limestone caves elsewhere these ones are,
in all honestly, much the same. |

The Great Barrier Reef, off the
coast of central and northern Queensland is brilliant. When snorkelling the tropical fish
swim within inches of your face and they are of every colour in the rainbow. The different
forms of coral, clams, etc are amazingly fascinating. The hours just fly past in this
marine haven and the water is beautiful, clear and warm. I love it. |

A Flathead Turtle returns to the
sea after laying about 100 eggs in the sand dunes near Bundaberg, Qld. I hope she comes
back next year to lay a 100 more and that she isn't turned into stew by the indigenous
population of Australia who are still allowed to hunt this endangered species under the
guise of "traditional" lifestyles. There won't be much "traditional"
about them when they are exterminated. |

Let's face it - what Aussie Album
would be complete without a pic of a Koala. Please don't call these creatures Koala bears
because they are not bears they are marsupials. This is not a professionally taken
photograph but it was taken out in the Aussie bush as opposed to those shots of koalas
taken in zoos, etc. If you really want to know more about them I'll add some links as I
find them. But from first hand experience they smell, they bite, and they are basically
grumpy bastards. |
