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.

Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.
Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts.

@kcaj88 Asian Sunday entry:
This is a photo that I took in Xinjiang, China. That's a Euphrates Poplar Forest which is about 6000 years old. Euphrates Poplar can live up to 3000 years old and even though the trees are dead, they can still stand for another 3000 years. I think they are tough and strong there for I took that pic.

Lake Tekapo
We were told that during the summer the lake is full with motor boats, wakeboarders and jet skies. When we visited in early December 2010, we were the only people on the whole lake. Our guide turned off the engine of the boat and I heard my heart beat so loud, because it was so silent around us. It was crazy! Lake Tekapo is famous for it's little chapel and the crazy turquoise water color.
Just beautiful... looks so calm. Tomas
It was early evening and I was walking along the coastline at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney with my camera and tripod looking for something to shoot. I was almost at the end the the trail, close to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, when I was treated with this beautiful skyline of the City of Sydney, with all the colours reflecting on the water. I spend quite a bit of time there, perfecting my shots. And here is the best one.
You did capture an amazing image! Stunning!
Thanks Tomas!
This is the star sight - The Twelve Apostles on the star route - the Great Ocean Road, in the star country of today - Australia. What makes my shot a bit special is the flock of black birds flying by. =) There are actually only eight Apostles left out of the twelve limestone stacks off the shore.
The black birds really add to this photo!
Thank you so much for your submission, stunning as always. Tomas
My pleasure! Thanks Tomas for your support.
My entry today is another photo from Whisky Bay Australia, taken during a memorable sunset. This beach looks so pristine and it's also not very crowded. During this sunset for example we were the only people there. Only a Wallaby came down to the shore for a few minutes to watch the show.
Wow, looks really warm and cozy. wish I could be there now
wow, great shot, looks like a mac screeen save. Fantastic
I've been enjoying all your Whisky Bay photos. You even got a wallaby? ;)
Not on this photo. But there was a Wallaby which went for a short bath that evening. I first thought we'd need to resque it, but apparently that's what Wallabies do from time to time
Wow, nice picture! Where exactly is it?
Perfect as always👍🏻 Thanks for sharing!
Pretty sunset colors 👌 😍 so serene
I will just add to the rest of you funs, amazing!
High up on the New South Wales coast, not far from the border of Queensland is a great little beach town called Yamba. It could be one of the best kept secrets on the coast offering beautiful beaches and great surf, with a fraction of the tourists of Byron Bay.
Amazing pic! Thank you for sharing with all of us. Tomas
Broome is a place located on the Western Australian coast. It is a place where you can see dinosaur footprints when the tide is low!!!
There are two kind of beach: Classic sandy Beach and orange coloured Rocky beach. This really is a fantastic place to visit.
Location: Broome, Australia.
Thank you so much for your great entry. Tomas
The dramatic rock formations rising from the Southern Ocean in Victoria, Australia are known as the 12 Apostles (although there are only 8 remain due to collapse). Their shapes are ever-changing as wind and ocean continue to cause erosion.
I hope the rest will stay for the generations to come. Thank you for your great entry. Tomas
Beautiful pics @polebird 👌
thank you guys!! :)
One of the main stops when driving the great ocean road in Victoria, Australia is this lookout point where the name escapes me... but if you get there at just the right time, youre gifted with the most amazing sunsets.
Yep, that is a spectacular sunset!
My entry for today:
Wai-O-Tapu Thermal wonderland ... one of the must visit places in Rotorua! This geothermal pool called “ Champagne Pool “,it has a bright color that caused by trace amounts of arsenic and antimony. I captured this image when it’s raining, but it still stunning! Love the misty effect atmosphere 😍
I've been there as well. Great place to visit. I remember seeing a group of bikers in the leather clothes while it's being so incredible hot and all the different smells all over the place like "Devil's pool";)
Yes,it’s great place to visit. I went to devil’s pool too. I love all the different colors of the pool in Wai-O-Tapu
Simply beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
Thank you so much for submitting this amazing image! Have a great day and stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
