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.

@photofreediver Asian Sunday entry:
When I participated in an expedition on on the island of Sakhalin, the bay "Silent" which is in 150 kilometers to the north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk became one of points of our travel. It has appeared the amazing place with the mountains, improbable on beauty, entirely covered with the juicy-green woods and the tender ocean washing the sandy coast. Absolute paradise for fans of quiet rest with tents, for fishermen and of course for photographers!

This photo is amazing 👌
Thanks ;-)
Truly superb image! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
Milford Sound is so beautiful! I wish I could go hiking there someday. I went there twice but both times with parents on the touristy cruises. Still beautiful though.
Yes its a special part of the world.
Lake Wanaka, New Zealand
The Southern Island of NZ is a beautiful destination at all seasons and Wanaka is right in the middle. If you hike up the surrounding mountains you are going to offer yourself a splendid view of that long-stretched lake, where blue mixes with blue in several shades...
That looks absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for your entry!
Beautiful shot of a special place . Love it there in the winter.
From Mount Eden heights, this is what Auckland looks like. It is a superbe view over the city with all the wilderness in the background. New Zealand is still wild even in near by big cities :)
Location: Auckland, New Zealand.
I love that view from Mt Eden, wish I can go there again some day to enjoy it myself another time. Blessed are those who can live nearby
Thank you so much for your contribution!
Its such a scenic city. Do you sail?
Here is a picture of the Opera House with the Opera Bar in the foreground during the Vivid Festival. Each year during the Vivid Festival, The Opera House is lighted up by all kinds of light art display, attracting many people to come to Sydney and enjoy an evening of amazing light show.
Great image from a slightly different perspective than usual!
Thanks Tomas!
Vivid is always a heap of fun ;-)
Yeah! The light show is great every time! But it' always packed though
I've been absent a bit from this challenge :-)
So here is another entry from beautiful Australia again. This one is a view I found near Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. There are many viewpoints in the area, the most popular being the Three Sisters view. But if you wander along the extensive network of trails along the rim you can also find beautiful views like this, which you will have for yourself.
Wow, epic photo @mibreit-photo! Make we want to extreme jog on those ledges. Keep exploring... Jaco
Beautiful shot ! love the bluies.
And you did make a great comeback with this amazing image! Great job!
Hi, my entry today was taken in Monkey Mia.
This beautiful part of Western Australia is located about 900 km north of Perth.
The main attraction here are the bottlenose dolphins that have been coming close to shore and interacting with humans for more than fifty years.
What a sunset! Fabulous!
Love the setting sun.
One of the most beautiful places in Australia is the Great Ocean Road went there last week and it was amazing, took this picture with my Iphone 8, this doesn't do justice to the natural beauty of the place but it can show why this is a must visit natural heritage.
Thank you so much for your participation with this wonderful entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Appreciate it and thank you for supporting adventurers and photographers around the world
Nice. Its a special spot in oz
This is my entry for Monday challenge by @czechglobalhosts
from New Zealand , On the shore of the breathtakingly blue waters of Lake Tekapo and framed by the Southern Alps sits the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd.
charming stone façade is the perfect piece of Mackenzie heritage to sit pride of place in any picture, adding perspective to the wide-open landscape.
Built as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie region, the Church has been home to thousands of weddings and has seen more than its fair share of visitors to its grounds. The foundation stone was laid by HRH the Duke of Gloucester, on January 15 ,1935
What a beautiful colors! Love it!
People just love that church !
For today's entry I want to bring you all to Agnes Waters/Seventeen-Seventy. The last possible place to surf along the journey I made up to Cairns in the 'winter' of last year. it was also an amazing place to catch a beautiful sunset almost any day of the week!

Beautiful colors! Thank you so much for your participation! Tomas
Thank you!
wow those colours are insane
It was amazing!
I barely even edited the picture as well.
I took this photo on a winter evening as I walked down the empty beach with my friend. We were there to capture the sunset by Gibson Steps, on the Great Ocean Road and we were not disappointed. The view turned every shade of orange, pink and purple, and the clouds covered the sky in the most interesting of ways. It was a rather majestic sunset.
Wonderful image! Thank you so much for your contribution to the challenge. Tomas
This is nice. Different perspective to what we normally see.
