This is the causeway between Singapore and Malaysia. I was in Singapore for less than 24 hours total, and wasted no time in catching a bus to Malaysia.

A Chinese temple in the city of Malacca/Melaka in Malaysia, a very interesting place with history from several different civilisations.

Modern Malaysia is symbolised by the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, once the tallest buildings in the world.

Relaxing on a beach near Bunbury, WA with friends.

Fishing in the Indian Ocean.

The Indian Pacific train works its way 5000km from Perth to Sydney, on the other side of Australia. Here it’s stopped in the township of Cook.

The other end of the railway! Sydney’s Harbour Bridge is one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

…along with its near neighbour, the Sydney Opera House, whose site used to be occupied by a tram depot!

This photo shows how close the two are together, separated by a small portion of Sydney Harbour.

Sydney’s skyline, dominated by the 250m tall Tower.

A fountain at Sydney Olympic Park, home (oddly enough) of the 2000 Olympics.

The Three Sisters – a limestone monument near Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains.

The Blue Mountains are so called because of this blue shimmer given off.

The edge of Sydney Harbour, with the Pacific Ocean crashing on the cliffs near Manly.

A few weeks later, I’m in New Zealand, and catching a train out of Christchurch through farmland.

The farmland soon gives way to mountains – the Southern Alps, which the train winds through for nearly 4 hours.

The west coast of New Zealand features several glaciers, such as the Franz Josef Glacier, one of the few growing glaciers in the world today.

In the centre of New Zealand’s South Island are many large lakes. This is Lake Wanaka.

It’s not for no reason that the “Lord Of The Rings” movies were shot in this region!

The highest mountain in New Zealand is Mt. Cook, here overseen by Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mt. Everest (and presumably this one too).

Just over these mountains is the Tasman Sea off the west coast of the country. Clouds seem to fall over the ridge and into this valley.

The valley leads to Lake Pukaki, the effluent from Mt. Cook’s glaciers.

No, you’re not going mad – this is Baldwin Street in Dunedin, the steepest street in the world!

Here I’m relaxing near Queenstown, adrenaline capital of the world and home of the bungy jump.
