Spent a hot afternoon snorkelling with the fishes at the Goat Island marine reserve, an hour North of Auckland. One day I’ll consider an underwater camera, to capture the beauty below the water’s surface.

With some beautiful hot summer weather, the West coast beach of Maori Bay, was a perfect spot to admire New Zealand’s rugged landscapes.
The Emirates flight from Melbourne to Auckland was uneventful, although the dirty windows on the A340-500 didn’t help in getting clear shots of Auckland.

The Eureka Tower of Melbourne, is currently the worlds tallest residential building in the world standing 300m (984ft) tall. Presented with what looked like a great upcoming sunset with good visibility, decided to head up to the 88th floor lookout. Spectacular views 360° around, although the top ten floors are gold plated (looks great on the outside), but cut out much light within making photography extremely difficult.
