Sydney Harbour at night

City Lights, The Opera House, and Harbour Bridge

Since moving to Sydney I (Cameron) have had lots of opportunities to take photos of this beautiful harbour city. I have found it easiest to work at night, as this fits in with my job and the roads are clear! For anyone familiar with Sydney traffic, I am sure they would understand. Besides that, the city looks incredible when it is lit up at night, with high rises glowing and reflections on the harbour. Unfortunately these pictures don't look optimal on this site, but I am sure you will get the idea (if the pictures look too dark try adjusting the brightness of your monitor).

This shot was taken adjacent to Luna Park and gives a different view of the Harbour

City from under the bridge, near Milson' Point

Previous Travels, well almost - Denhams Beach, Surfbeach, and Lilli Pilli

Denhams Beach at low tide is frequently left with loads of seaweed

In this post we bring you some images from Denhams Beach, Surfbeach and Lilli Pilli. They could hardly be called 'travels' when they are just around the corner from our (old) homes!
This year, Allan has moved to Canberra, and Cameron to Sydney, both of us continuing our studies. We have been taking pictures in the areas we live, (which we will be posting shortly) whilst remaining available to make panoramas of the South Coast area upon request.
Denhams Beach and Surfbeach are a couple of the more popular locations during summer, but are still quite beautiful, even when crowded. Then again, 'crowded' on the South Coast means something entirely different to up here in Sydney!

A stormy day from the Southern Headland of Lilli Pilli, again with the Tollgate Islands in view

On the same stormy day, this was the view North from the headland on the Northern end of Mosquito bay. On a good day, it is a beautiful walk around the headland from Mosquito Bay to Lilli Pilli.

Previous Travels - South Durras

The cove at Murramerang

In this post we will give you a look at some photos we took around South Durras during January. It took us several days to get the favourable weather conditions to get these, between cloud cover and unexpected coastal early morning fog. It was all worth it in the end! If you have never been there, South Durras and Murramerang National Park are a really beautiful part of the South Coast. Even in peak season you can find a quiet beach and possibly have it all to yourself.

The Island, South Durras Beach and Murramerang are in view here

This headland has Emily Miller Beach in view to the South, and The Island in view to the North
