Maroochy Bridge

Last weekend was the first time I had crossed the Maroochy River Bridge on foot. It is a beautiful walk along the south bank of the Maroochy River and over to the northern shore of Mudjimba.

Wharf Mooloolaba

This The Wharf Marina at Mooloolaba. The Wharf Tower in the background is unfortunately closed, it used to be one of my favourite spots for a lookout.

Mooloolaba Spit

Seaplane

Sitting on the Maroochy River you can find this Wilga 80 Seaplane waiting to take you for a sight seeing tour of the coast.

Coastal Pathway

A coastal pathway along the Sunshine Coast. I'm slowly walking this path one section at a time.

Coronet Snowfield

Another view of the spectacular Coronet Peak snowfield.

Unexpected Door

An unexpected door is the most interesting kind of door. Especially when climbing a steep track up a rocky mountain face and you see this at the end of the track. If only I had a key.

Up A Tree

A large conifer tree leans against the steep mountain outside Queenstown but continues to grow and hold onto the cliff. A tree that one can hardly resist climbing.

Queenstown Climbing Crag

If you take a small track up a steep hill on the outskirts of Queenstown you will find this climbing crag. A stunning view and location.

Blowing Snow

The snow being blown by some strong winds at Coronet Peak. It's hard to see from the photo, but the wind here was truly blasting over this peak at greater than 30 knots.

Luge Track

A couple of mates race down the Luge Track at Skyline in Queenstown.

Baby Goat Do Do Do, Just Kidding ...

This family of cute little kids was grazing on the Skyline hill in Queenstown. Although cute, they are feral goats and are causing problems across New Zealand, outcompeting native species for resources.

Wind Farming

Among all the things that are farmed in New Zealand, wind is right up there in some of the windy valleys.

InterCity Bus

An InterCity Bus from Dunedin up to Queenstown in New Zealand gets me nearer the snow.
