We went to Australia for second time. The trip was globally from Sydney -> Melbourne -> Adelaide -> Alice Springs -> Darwin. All was done by (rental) car. It was an amazing trip, we had a blast in OZ.

I really hope you like the photos. Comments and critiques are welcome as always.
All with 40D, Sigma 10-20, Canon 24-105 and Canon 70-200 F4IS.

Good job for actually making it out of Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane and seeing some parts of Australia a lot of travellers miss out on.

Shows us off very well. Love number 3, yep, they are definitely different down there shouth of the border haha. Car really is the only way to see Oz, you miss too much just skipping from one major centre to the next by plane. Glad you enjoyed it. Don't forget Queensland next time!

The Sigma lens is used very often. I bought it 4 years ago for my New Zealand trip and thought I would sell it after wards. No way! ;)

On my previous trip I did drive from Sydney to Cairns, which was also lots of fun. This time the trip was even more fun. So much to see and do. We do not stay in cities very long (mostly a couple of days). We're on the road a lot and of course we stay longer in the beautiful spots (they're everywhere)! :D

Thanks! The car is the only proper way, my opinion as well. We also loved the ride on the Stuart Highway!
I've been to Queensland on my previous trip and will go back on the next one! ;)

I'd love to return too. :D
But next week I'm going to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize. That's also a trip I'm looking forward to.
