Climbers tackling Uluru (Ayers Rock)

I had heard that the Uluru climb was steep, but I didn't realise that it would look _that_ steep. The Uluru Anangu (the local Aboriginal people who own the rock) prefer that visitors do not climb it for two reasons: 1. the path crosses over an important Tjukurpa (the Dreaming) site; and 2. Anangu as custodians feel a sense of responsibility for visitors and their safety. There have been a number of fatalities due to climing Uluru.

Sunset from the mud flats of Roebuck Bay, Broome, Western Australia

During our hovercraft tour of Roebuck Bay at low tide, we stopped at the "Flying Boat Special" to view the plane wreck which is usually covered by 10 metres of water. I took the opportunity to snap this gorgeous sunset.

Palazzo Versace, Queensland

The world's first six star hotel. Very luxurious, a bit cheesy though. Can't escape Donatella Versace's face - it's even imprinted on the bottom of the drinking glasses in the rooms.

Bellapais Abbey

This name is the corrupt form of the 'Abbaye de la Paix' or the Abbey of Peace. This building is regarded as the most beautiful Gothic building in the Near East. Originally built by Augustinian monks and French Kings Hugh III and IV. Following the Ottoman conquest the monks were turned out and the building was given to the Greek Orthodox Church.
