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 to which continent NZ belongs to.

@rinawonderlands Asian Sunday entry:

I woke up to see a sunrise,and luckily there is also a little rainbow over the sky, which is rare to see here. It's beautiful eventhought it's not a full one. The colorful sky, give a reflection color to the sea and sand. I took this pretty picture in Candidasa beach, a relaxed spot on the east Bali where you could snorkel.

The southern sky rises over the windswept isolation of a small abandoned cottage. Maria Island is a remote mountainous island located in the Tasman Sea, off the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. It was named in 1642 by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman after Maria van Diemen (née van Aelst).

Phenomenal shot, Rob!

Thanks!

Awesome pic!

Beautiful stars shots @intrepidphotos , and i like the tree also :)

Queenstown is a cute little town located on the south island of New Zealand. It build on the raffle of a gigantic lake and surrounded by the mountains.

Here is a capture I shot while wandering around the lake. This man was sitting on the small pierre, chilling by the water under the branches of the tree.

I wasn't going to Disturbed, so I waited patiently for him to stand up and leave!

Location: Queenstown, New Zealand.

I love the lake on this little town 😊 @vinceboisgard

It truly is a nice place 😀

Today I show you the most intense sunset I have photographed in the last five years. It was during our last week of travelling through Australia when we visited the Great Ocean Road. After a grey and rainy day we went down to the beach at the Gibson Steps for sunset. I didn't expect much to happen but we waited anyway. Just a minute or so before sunset the sky broke and exploded in the most wonderful sunset colors I had seen in a very long time.

Beautiful sunset colors 👌 @mibreit-photo

Sydney Harbour has some of the best views in my opinion. The famous Opera House always standing next to the the Harbour Bridge - its like they are a couple hand in hand. With the Harbour Bridge close by, it is the best place to see the new year fireworks which it is also seen by the rest of the world.

Nice pic @travelgirl :) will definitely check out The Opera House when i visit Australia

There are lots More to see in Australia :)

I took this photo last weekend at a place called Cellito Beach on the mid New South Wales coast in Australia. As we were about to head home the wind blew the thick cloud away lighting up the sky beautifully.

On this photo I going to show you the wild coast by the Great Ocean Road. The Great Ocean Road is known for his Twelve Apostles, a collection of limestone cliffs on the shores of Victoria's coast.
The rocks in the photo are opposite the Twelve Apostles. This section of the Great Ocean Road is located in Port Campbell National Park in Victoria, Australia.

A walk alone Sydney got me to this area. It is nice when you explore a city by yourself. All I had that day was my google map, a camera, and my semi-winter clothes.

This is Old St. Helensburgh station in south sydney. Originally built in the late 1800's it was abandoned not long after. it has become home to a large colony of glow worms that light up the roof of the tunnel when it is dark.

🇳🇿 Rotorua 🇳🇿
For anyone who doesn't know it, New Zealand is a beautiful country and where there are spectacular forests full of magic and charm like this one, found in Rotorua.

Any place is worthy of a shot, even if you don't realize it, a mere rest on the road becomes a place to take a picture, and Rotorua stands out mainly for living with the culture, traditions and gastronomy of the Maori people.

Parameters settings used for this pic were: iPhone 6s Plus 📱

Great photo. But this here doesn't look like Rotorua ;-) Where is this

During my 1-year backpacking trip throughout Australia, I have made several amazing road trips. For me, this photo symbolizes what it really means to go on a road trip in Australia. It’s the ultimate freedom: sky above, asphalt below . Endless red desert as far as you can see, and nothing holding you back but your sense of direction. We stopped on the way and made this photo, and for me this includes everything I love in traveling.

Fox Glacier, New Zealand

The Southern Island host some impressive glacier which come down and end directly next to the rainforest. Due to the changing climate they are slowly moving back, leaving stream of melt water. Quite a spectacle...

Taken on a hike at One Tree Hill, a hill in the middle of Auckland, New Zealand. It is quite amazing how in the middle of the largest city of New Zealand we could escape the hustle and bustle to enjoy views like this.

Wombat on Bruny Island, Tasmania

I captured this photo on Bruny Island, a former convict island off the coast of Tasmania. There are no motorized vehicles on the entire island, so I took my mountain bike there on the passenger ferry and spent four days exploring this amazing place. On the field you can see some original convict-made bricks next to the wombat.

great job nice contest awesome selection bro 😊

It was 5.30am on a chilly and windy Saturday morning along the Great Ocean Road. I had spent the night in the car, where I slept for what felt like 10min. However, I was not disappointed. My tired eyes were rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise that has stuck with me ever since.

Beautiful capture. Getting up early really was worth it

Hey Tomas, thanks again for hosting the comp! Here's another water based entry from me:

White sand, empty beaches, crystal clear water, and old mate about to take a thumping on the inside at this heavy beach break. If you've ever been to Margaret River in West Australia and you will find this sums up the area quite perfectly!

Hello guys, I would like to show you my photo of Byron Bay. It is the easternmost point of Australia and is enclosed on both sides by miles of sandy beaches. The lighthouse on the cliffs radiates tranquility and makes the picture perfect.

We took this photo at cape tribulation, which is north from cairns in queensland. By renting an offroad car for the weekend, we traveled through this marvelous place, while camping at the beach and doing some beach drives! A really wonderful place! Way too hot up there in queensland! Cape Tribulation has a great rainforest and some awesome empty beaches!

Hooker Valley Track, New Zealand, 02/17, Nikon D5300

I took this picture on the famous Hooker Valley Track :)
It's a breathtaking hike to the beautiful glacier lake of Aoraki / Mt.Cook!
This is the highest mountain in New Zealand with 3,724 metres (12,218 feet)
It's one of my favourite 1day hikes in NZ, the landscape is all the time just stunning!

This photo was taken from Queenstown, a city located on New Zealands South Island. It features Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables in the background. This mountain range has featured in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Here's my entry Tomas @czechglobalhosts, for today 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - New Zealand..

This iconic Church of the Good Shepherd always busy with tourists during the day. It's one of the landmark in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. I really wanted to capture the serenity of the church during sunrise, so i woke up super early to get this shot. It's really worth it, as i can enjoy the lake scenery and the Southern Alps when nobody around.

This photo was taken just before we arrived at town Wanaka, New Zealand. I will never forget the amazing color of the Lake Hawea and the beautiful mountains in the background. It has an altitude of 348 meters and at its deepest, 392 meters deep.

Beautiful Selection @czechglobalhosts, you're doing an amazing job. keep up the good and a thumbs up from my side.

Wow....such a wonderful

Have you ever wondered how the surface of the Sydney Opera House is structured and why it shines in white? Here's the answer, the façade is made up of thousands of small, bright-colored tiles!
I hope you like the abstract photo of the opera house and the sails that extend this house into the sky.
