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.
See the winner of the last week´s Australian Monday @benfenson with the following entry:
Composite image of a bio luminescent wave crashing on the shores of Nelsons Beach in Jervis Bay and a close-up of the Milky Way core. Both photo's were taken on the same night however the core had risen much higher by the time I managed to capture this wave crashing. The sky is 25 photo's stacked for noise reduction and the foreground is a single image.
Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.
Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total.
Please see the winner of Asian Sunday and give him your support if you like his image to be the one winning the weekly price and entering the other stages of the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge. You can vote for him by upvoting his winner announcement post below:

One of the winter farmwork in Autralia is orange picking. Those oranges comes from NSW (New South Wales), near the small village. Wee Waa is 41 kilometres north-west of Narrabri and 571 kilometres northwest of Sydney on the Kamilaroi Highway. Region is well-know for cotton also.
Interesting update on your current Australian adventure Mateji :)) Those oranges look delicious.
Sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock)
When I was travelling in Australia, I did not even plan on visiting Uluru. Why would anyone drive through the Outback for thousands of kilometres just to see a giant rock? But since my ride share from Cairns to Darwin wanted to see Uluru, I endet up there. I was not really expecting anything, but in fact, Uluru is so much more than just a "giant rock" and I had an incredible time in the national park!

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
I bet you're glad you did though. I know I was after 9 days of being on the travel group because it was AMAZING! Geologically yes, a big rock formed by tectonic plate movement... but when you listen to the Aborigine stories of creation and what it means from the Mala walk at the base, it's so spiritual. Did you visit Kata Tjuta as well?
It is such an amazing place, I felt this incredible connection with nature at this place! Kata Tjuta is awesome as well, I was lucky to see some dessert flowers there because it has rained the months before
Yea when you learn about their culture and how they believed it all came to be, it does something to your own mind and opens it up for sure. When were you there? I was only there a couple of days ago but there wasn't a cloud in the sky for the most part. Windy in Kata Tjuta

Kata Tjuta is known as "Valley of the winds" for a reason ;) I was in Australia in 2016, such an awesome country to visit. Enjoy your time and let me know if you need tips on budget travel in Australia!

Exactly, and it was basically a giant wind tunnel!
I've been in 2015 to the east coast and I am in my final 3 days now here, staying near the airport and probably just going to be chilling as I picked up a nasty flu virus from my escapades in the outback and have travelled over 40,000 km (including flying over here) in the last 78 days... I need a holiday 😂

Sorry for the late reply, enjoy home after this busy time on the road! I am sure you had a great time, Australia is amazing. I still want to come back and travel from Darwin to Perth, the West Coast is supposed to have amazing nature.
Thanks man! I think I'm ready for a holiday now after that traveling experience haha! It does have a lot to offer and that West coastline is vast and not populated in thr slightest so will be mostly unspoilt! I've not been to Darwin or Perth but those places will be next on my list for Australia but I feel there are places closer to home to enjoy for the time being 🙂

I don't know if I'm too late to the party (thanks to @gabrielatravels for bringing it to my attention). I just flew back from Alice Springs to Melbourne after visiting Uluru funnily enough - just seen @jpphotography amazing picture! So I'll pick one from my hike to the 12 Apostles a couple of months ago. I'll be writing the full blogs on this whole Aus & NZ trip over the coming weeks/months :)
12 Apostles, Australia
One of Australia's landmarks and a place I definitely wanted to visit, is the 12 Apostles. But I did it the hard way by walking the Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay (where the Great Ocean Road goes inland) to the 12 Apostles. 104km in 6 days to get there and when we arrived on the final day to this amazing site, all the pain and fatigue in the muscles disappeared. We had a 30 minute window of sunshine (from the right side of the picture) before the storm (from the left side of the picture) came in and rained on us, creating these magical colours and dramatic effects.

Wow! This picture is literally breathtaking! :)
Thanks @gabrielatravels but congratulations to @jpphotography for his winning picture. Uluru is stunning. And hope he goes on to win that massive prize!
