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.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #25 – winner announcement!

@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!

After several days of rain and snow, the clouds parted to a still glassy monring. Located in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park Milford Sound has one of the worlds highest mean annual rainfalls of 6,412 mm (252 in).

This photo is amazing 👌

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 !

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.

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.

Today I'm sharing a photo we took in North Sydney where there was a yacht race. We were at a friends wedding the water views were stunning. It is currently autumn in Australia so it is getting cooler but you can still enjoy the sun all your round

Nice. Do you sail?

Hidden beach in the Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand

IMG_20180312_200140.jpg

Those lucky kiwis - they have so much beautiful natural beauty in their two islands. The Abel Tasman National Park is a reserve in which one can walk a day trek or even a three/four day camping trek on the coastal path, and whenever you get hot you can walk down to one of the many golden beaches which are conveniently positioned along the trek. This photo is taken in the height of the Kiwi Summer on a day trek whilst walking along the coastal ridge path - look how empty the beach is! The wildlife in this park includes little blue penguins, fur seals and bottlenose dolphins.I want to go back.

Wow looks so secluded! Such a special country NZ

Matamata Hobbiton.jpg

Hobbiton Movie Set, Matamata New Zealand - This is just one of the hobbit holes you can find in the Hobbiton Movie Set. A quick info: The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films were shot here. So for those who are fans, you MUST visit this place! After we toured around the place, we got a chance to gulp down on some ginger ale. What an awesome way to cap off the experience!

As a Tolkien fan thats cool

It really is!! 😍 You should go here! The guide's gonna tour you around the place. The movie set is not just about the hobbit holes. You can see the mill by the pond and the hobbits' clothes hanging, and the place is just a perfect site for the shoot, as the director Peter Jackson wanted it to be. Also at the end of the tour you get to grab a mug of ginger ale or beer. 😊

Woh! So cool that you've made that trip! What you should do is post this in steemitworldmap.com
For a quick explanation listen to this guy: @theaustrianguy

Northen Territory. Kakadu National Park. A boattrip through the beautiful wetlands. A great way to see the local wildlife.
Great sunset picture, including the crocodile in the middle of the river.

Fraser Island

One of the biggest tourist attractions on the eastcoast. Everyone will see The Maheno, which is the most famous of Fraser Island's wrecks and has become a landmark attraction. Built in 1905, the SS Maheno was one of the first turbine-driven steamers. She plied a regular route between Sydney and Auckland until she was commissioned as a hospital ship in Europe during World War One. Unfortunately it ended up here!

IMG_20160814_093751.jpg

How great is Fraser island. I have not been there since 1998 !

It is beyond everything I've seen before. I don't know if anything is changed cause I've been there only once. But I can tell all was pretty well arranged. Traffic, sightseeing, rubbish and so on.

Sydney Opera House - Australia The peaks and the opera are even more aesthetically pleasing in person. This landmark building is located in the center of Sydney Harbor and is surrounded by the circular waterfront at one end. What's even better, you can dine inside the opera
