Chinese Gardens – A calm moment in Sydney

November 26, 2021November 21, 2021 / Sirri / 1 Comment

I'm taking you back to Sydney, Australia but talking about the design and harmony of Chinese gardens. Not confusing, it all makes sense.

A road trip on the east coast of Australia. National parks, sights, free camping spots and kangaroo feeding. Cheap but fun.

Busy and baffling Tongariro Crossing

November 10, 2017October 22, 2020 / Sirri / Leave a comment

Kuranda Scenic Railway throws tourists back to the late 1800’s as the train rattles through a tropical rainforest in Far North Queensland, Australia.

Visiting the Great Barrier Reef

March 19, 2017October 22, 2020 / Sirri / 1 Comment

Last year some reporters already announced the Reef to be dead, but that was a false announcement.

Hot stuff in Rotorua

March 3, 2017October 22, 2020 / Sirri / Leave a comment

New Zealand consists of active volcanos: it is constantly boiling and steaming underneath the pretty surface.

Cathedral and a creature

Cathedral Cove, familiar to some from the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, is only a short walk away from Hahei.
