Everybody sees things differently, for example, Maori people believe that these boulders are calabashes or kumaras, geologists describe it as “septarian concretions” and trying to convince us that these rocks are cemented sediments, and at the same time, the most creative minds assert that Moeraki Boulders are nothing less than petrified dinosaur or extraterrestrial eggs.
Mungo National Park is a special place for me, and not just because it is overwhelmingly beautiful, but also due to the fact that it was the first NSW Outback place I’ve travelled to – this was the beginning, beginning of my long never ending plan to see every corner of Australia.
Australia is a flat continent – all mountains here are very old, worn out by millions of years of erosion and generally not famous for its height. However, this unfortunate fact is easily compensated by numerous geological gems scattered across this desert country. One of those unusual places is The Breadknife. Read more…
It may not be obvious at first glance, but Blue Mountains is full of waterfalls – I think I will be able to show you at least 40 of them and I’m sure there are more. Most of them are relatively small, some require rainy days to demonstrate its’ beauty, but if you are a true waterfall fan, size shouldn’t matter, right? Read more…
Surrounded by the endless plains and fields, Grampians mountains range is one of the most popular tourist destinations in western Victoria that offers almost all possible outdoor activities in the same place: hiking and rock climbing, camping, exploring wilderness of mountain ranges and wetlands, swimming and canoeing, fishing or simply sightseeing.
Mimosa Rocks are located near Aragunnu Beach in the Mimosa Rocks National Park 25 km from a coastal town Tathra and about 410 km from Sydney on Sapphire Coast NSW.
National park hosts multiple large camping areas near the beach which can be accessed by relatively good gravel Aragunu Beach Road.
Do you speak Navajo? If not, then you are like me and probably didn’t know that “Tse’ bighanilini” means “the place where the water runs through the rock” and is a name of one of the most amazing places in the world. Unlike many others, it is a simple and meaningful name, however, it doesn’t explain why this canyon is so popular and attracts hundreds of tourists each day.
I guess it is not going to surprise anybody if I say that Australia has virtually unlimited potential in terms of seascape photography – every single kilometre of 25000km coastline has something special and interesting to offer. Moreover, all 25000 kilometres are constantly changing in time.
While all of the above is true, some locations are still better than others, and if I had some kind of seascape location rating, Pebbly Beach at Forster would definitely take one of the top positions.
Are you a nature photographer? Do you like seascapes? Climber? Fishing, maybe? If your answer is yes to any of these questions and you are planning your holidays in Port Stephens region make sure that you visit these magnificent rocks of Fingal Head.
While every headland, beach and harbour of the Australian East Coast provides exceptional views and endless recreational possibilities, some rare locations stand out from the mass and present unique and picturesque places – Diamond Head is one of them.
