Australia, New Zealand and Pacific photos
So many of us have had travel plans cancelled or disrupted and the continual, ever-changing news on coronavirus is depressing and scary. Here are some photos of Australia which I hope gives some cheer to the travelling community and also offers temptation to visit Australia, when the time is right...
Feel free to add photos from your Australian trips (New Zealand and Pacific too!) or maybe just where you live, by the coast or inland.

Some lovely photos of the gardens. We live in Toowoomba and along with everyone, we are wondering when this will end. After cancelling our trip to France ( leaving on April 2nd ), we did think we might pack up the camper. But I think we will just sit at home and dream.

I know how it is KayF. In most years, I would have something planned for May or June, but I didn't given work demands every four years. Still holding out hope for a late-November trip though. Anyway, want to share some of my favorite 'scapes of Australia with you too.
Uluru
Admiral's Arch at Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island (I know how much of the island has been impacted by this year's bushfires, which now seem like a long time ago)
Remarkable Rocks at Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island
Cradle Mountain in Tasmania
a wombat in the Tasmanian wilderness
Tasman Peninsula coastline
The Pinnacles in Nambung National Park (especially for you, KayF, for when you DO go to WA)
Quokkas on Rottnest Island

Thanks for the photos tripplanner101, especially the Pinnacles. We've been to the west before but want to explore more. It's such a big state and the distances can be daunting. Quokkas are incredibly cute, aren't they? Need to go back to Rottnest...
Brisbane city, taken from the Story Bridge. You can walk across any time for free or pay to do the bridge climb. Views are great either way.
I love these old buildings, they have so much character. This is in Fortitude Valley, walking distance from the city or five mins by bus.

Fantastic photos! Keep them coming, we need something to make us smile.
Kookaburras always look so intelligent, beautiful birds. But my favourite is the galah, such a pretty, comical bird.
