Hello fellow Steemians!
Welcome to my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday - where the winner of the weekly round will be able to participate for the total of 200 SBD! Today, you can participate by submitting your personal pictures from your travels to the continent of Australia. I am also adding New Zealand to the same challenge as there were some concerns from other Steemians as to which continent NZ belongs to.

@racheleecious Asian Sunday entry:
This was taken last year when we go to a trip in Albay, Philippines. This is the perfect coned shape volcano, the Mayon Volcano. I took this picture because of the perfect reflection of its image in the ricefield with water. This volcano explodes last January 2018. Mayon is the one of the many tourist destination here in the Philippines.

Lake Tekapo,NZ - Fun photo
The famous Lupin flowers are found in the entire Mackenzie region. I read in a blog post that families in the 1950s sowed lupin seeds "to beautify" the country. Best time to see the flower fields is December.
I like this photo because it shows the beauty of Lake Tekapo, the snow covered mountains, the purple lupin flowers and shows a typical scene you find all over the world: Ladies, mostly girls and their moms, sitting between flowers and old man with huge cameras taking photos 😂
The lupins are so beautiful. Did you see Mt Cook from Lake Tekapo?
Actually we didn't see Mt Cook from there. But later on our journey:)
Truly colorful image!
This was taken at Darling Harbour, Sydney. Darling Harbour is the entertainment hub in Sydney, full of many restaurants and bars. It is also where many events and festivals take place, with fireworks on most Saturday nights. On a quite night though, the harbour can be as calm as a mirror, offering beautiful reflection of the Sydney CBD like this picture here.
What a beautiful shot and entry! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. Tomas
Thank you very much Tomas!
My entry for the Australia contest:
I took this photo at Brisbane story bridge. It is a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge connecting northern and southern Brisbane. At night, the bridge's purple lights lit up half of the Brisbane river into a deep purple colour. Conjunction with the building light beside, It makes a great contrast at night. A really unique scenery in Brisbane Australia.
Beautiful shot! Glad to see you here! :)
Thank you~ actually you told me/everyone about this 😀
=) Fun challenge right? And @kcaj88 won the Asian one when he joined it the first time.
Fantastic shot! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Thank you 😊 Tomas~
This is the place I call home at the moment. Well, I mean I’m living not far from this lookout, but the Glass House Mountains area is actually a spiritual home for Aboriginal people. I just never get tired of the splendid sunset over these volcanic peaks.
this is astonishing! The colours are fantastic and what a view :)
Thanks @vinceboisgard! =)
So beautiful! How far is it from Sunshine Coast?
This is actually the hinterland of Sunshine Coast. :) I moved from the coast to here as it's less hot and greener. :)
Wow! The colors are just astonishing!
Thanks Tomas! =)
The Desert Field of the Northern Territory, Australia
I remember going outside the car as the scorching blazing sun was setting down on this vast empty field. I felt so isolated due to the fact that no one was around. A few animals here and there.
Love it! Great job!
Wow, amazing shot! The branches and the sunset are stunning.
The coast of New South Wales in Australia is home to hundreds of beautiful beaches like this one. You only have to drive an hour from Sydney and you will often find you have the entire beach to yourself.
Excellent as always! Thank you so much for your support and contribution! Tomas
Thanks Tomas!
The photo for Australian Monday is one I took in Sydney at the Vivid Light Festival that took place from May 26, 2017 to June 17, 2017.
During the festival, businesses and artists from Australia put up exhibits all around the downtown core. They range in small pieces that you can interact with to large scale pieces that are emitted on to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Great click! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Thank you so much for doing the contest!
I miss that festival and Sydney
Me too. It's such a beautiful festival!
The iconic landmark of Tasmania: Cradle mountain and Dove lake. This picture was taken during a hot summer hike, but no matter what season you visit Cradle mountain, expect to be surprised by the ever changing dramatic look of the Tassie wilderness.
What a lovely image! Thank you for sharing with everyone. Tomas
The Grose Valley. My favorite Valley in all of the Blue Mountains National Park. I was fortunate enough to live just up the road from here for 3 years and spent many mornings here for sunrise. The volatility of the weather in the mountains meant most sunrises had something of interest to photograph and i now have a treasure trove of images of this valley in so many different states of it's nature. This is one of my favs!
Longtime nos see! Great comeback! Tomas
The 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most recognised coastal sites. These giant limestone stacks have been slowly eroding over time and soon new ones will form as the cliffs themselves are eaten away. Every time I visit here I'm treated to different conditions and colours. Even the bus loads of tourists that gather here every sunset don't take away from the splendour that is the 12 Apostles.
Another stunning image of yours! Excellent!
