Australia in December 2010 - January 2011.

We commenced our great Australian adventure of 2010-2011 on Queensland's wonderful Sunshine Coast. A brief spell there was followed by one even briefer in Brisbane, followed by a single day in Launceston, Tasmania, before we spent a week hiking the world-renowned Overland Track (which may be seen in another gallery). Then we spent a day recuperating in Hobart, and three wonderful days exploring SE Tasmania. Next, we flew to the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef. Our adventures on Hook Island and Reefworld may be seen in the relevant galleries. We completed our trip with a sea-kayaking adventure, before most reluctantly boarding our flight back to the English winter :(

    We saw the first maxi yacht, Wild Oats, enter the harbour, to many hundreds of cheering Tasmanians and a sea of television cameras.

    Carefully selected men and women, brave and true, crew these awesome yachts. The world's fastest, they batter through the fearsome waves of the southern ocean at terrifying speeds, generating huge forces. Their crews are specially trained, and several have died during recent races in stormy seas.
