Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb
A popular way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or any other celebration is to do something a little extreme like skydiving, bungee jumping or climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This shot puts the scale of the bridge in perspective with the climbers silhouetted against the background sky.

Sail & Anchor
Fremantle, Western Australia has some wonderful old buildings and the Sail & Anchor bar is a great example of this exhibiting the typical colonial style architecture. Fremantle's streets are filled with some of the best examples of mid-Victorian and Edwardian architecture. St Johns Anglican Church, Fremantle Town Hall, Fremantle Markets, the Round House Western Australias oldest public building are fascinating to examine. But just about anywhere you look, fine old buildings stand well preserved amidst the newer, trendier establishments. Many of Fremantles offices, galleries, restaurants and shops are housed in these grand old buildings. A visit to Fremantle would not complete without having a coffee or meal on South Terrace, otherwise known as the Cappuccino Strip. This cosmopolitan area houses many coffee houses, restaurants and pubs where people congregate to unwind and enjoy lifes simple pleasures amongst the buzzing atmosphere, day or night, anytime of the week. The Sail and Anchor is on South Terrace and was Australias first pub and microbrewery.

Bridge with a View
The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House are iconic images of Australia so why not see them both by taking a walk across the bridge on the pedestrian walkway. You will be rewarded by a magnificent panoramic view across Sydney harbour to the city and of course the wonderful Sydney Opera House.

Rich Man's Toys
It's sometimes nice to see how the other half live - this shot was taken at a yacht club in Perth, Western Australia and I thought the expensive sports car perfectly matched the many expensive yachts and crusiers moored in the marina.
