This summer our “Wanderings” took down under to Australia for a month-long photo expedition exploring the eastern regions of the continent. We planned our trip in 2 parts, the first part started in Brisbane and with two guides from Tropical Birding Tours we headed out by car deep into the Queensland’s remote outback in search of the many unique and strange mammals and birds that call Australia their home. After a couple of weeks in the outback we headed to Australia’s far south to Bruny Island one of Tasmania’s many little coastal islands.
The second part of our trip was in deep contrast to the first as we stepped up from 5+ hour driving days and outback type “Bate’s Motel” lodging to an upscale private National Geographic Expeditions itinerary with two traveling photog friends. Starting in lovely Sydney we flew up to Lizard Island in the northern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef, then to the dry, hot, red dirt desert landscape of Uluru Rock (aka Ayers Rock) before heading south again to the wildlife rich Kangaroo Island, ending our trip back in Sydney.
All in all our we had an awesome first visit to Australia and hope to get back to explore the western regions of this wonderful country.
