Easter Trip: Mildura, Mungo National Park, NSW Outback, Sand Storm, Red Cliffs (Australia)Have a sneak peek at our Easter trip to Mildura, Mungo National Park, NSW Outback, Red Cliffs, and some other places.
The BIG Things Tour Around Australia – ItinerarySome time ago I wrote about amazing guys who traveled across Australia on a trike visiting all BIG things. One trike, 2 adults, and 2 kids!
[Travel Story] Grampians National Park (Victoria, Australia) – Road To and From"Because it's very lovely there" - this is what they said. I could not imagine that I will say it myself after visiting Grampians, but it happened! :)
[Photo Tip] Model Release for Regular Photo Stock. What about Editorial? What is Editorial?In one of today's readings one term attracted my attention - "editorial". What the article was about something else, but between line it was saying that you need a model release for regular stock, but you don't need it for editorial.
[Photo Post] Geelong Friday Market (Victoria, Australia)This Friday we were lucky to be late at work (regardless of how crazy this may sound :)) Lucky because Geelong Friday Market happened on that day and we visited it the first time.
[Photo Travel Post] Endless Fields of Wheat or Rye (Victoria, Australia)Endless yellow fields of wheat or rye spread across Victoria, Australia. Once full of useful grass, now they are with round haystacks disposed like figurines on a chess game board.
[Photo Travel Post] Magnificent Green Cover of Tea Plantations (Cameron Highlands, Malaysia)Magnificent tea plantations in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
[Photo Travel Post] In Volcanic Region in Goldfields region of Victoria (Ballarat)A very long time ago this nice looking round hill was a volcano. It locates in an old volcanic region near Ballarat, the largest city in the Goldfields region of Victoria, Australia.
[Photo Travel Post] Its Majesty The Blue LakeThere are many blue lakes on Earth. There is a magic one in Australia, the Blue Lake.
[Photo Travel Post] No Puss In The BootsLonely forgotten boots strengthen by a sticky tape. Completely broken and lost any hope.
When I retire I will drive a caravan. Will I?Have it ever happened to you - when new experience and knowledge radically changed your plans about your future?
Fly High: In Air Between Malaysia and AustraliaThe moment the sun hid below the horizon, you feel like you missed something. Something important. Something that was nice and kind to you and lighten your way.
I Think I’ve Got a Travel BugHave you ever experienced itches and scratches across all your body? It is like that! Just not physical. I think... I've got a Travel Bug :-D
At the End or in the Beginning – The other Year comesIt was a big, long year.
Sunset in HDR PhotographySometimes sunset brings colours and images you could never imagine! It is something incredible and breathtaking.
Go For Fun Shop is Now Open!We do so different and fantastic journeys in our life! Sometimes we plan our route and things to see. Very often we share our stories with friends and others. Usually our stories accompanied with or "told" in photographs...
Tullamarine Airport Aircraft Viewing Area... And you know what? Near the road there was a special place called... "Aircraft Viewing Area"! Wow :) That was cool! Thanks to guys who thought about us, ordinary people eager after unusual things! :-)
Organ Pipes National ParkAt last, summer came to us and warm wonderful weather called very loudly to go out and have a nice and fun day! Organ Pipes National Park - something new, an interesting name, less than an hour from CBD...
Where to Spend Time in Hot DarwinWe visited Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) at the end of September. It was nice to escape rainy cold Melbourne for 3 days and get at least sun baths - we thought :-D The first day we decided to dedicate to the city itself. You know, the standard stuff - have a look, get a feeling of it, etc.
Let’s add some colour to this Melbourne winter!Last month or so it was not very sunny, at lease in Melbourne. To make us all to feel a bit happier, let's have some colour therapy! :) Hopefully it will put some warm into your heart and give energy to move on!
Smart ForFun2 a-la Monster Truck!Nowadays we are so used to the tuning that there is hardly anything by what we can be surprised at. The word "hardly" was used intentionally because what is going to be introduced to you was not here before and there is a possibility that there will not be nothing similar so soon.
Canberra, the Very First Impression – Part 3 – Weather. University of Canberra. What’s NextIn winter the weather is stable. -1 at night and +10 at noon. The sky is blue and the sun is there. Not many clouds, and when they cover the sun it becomes chilly very quickly. So everybody wears proper wear. It is rather easy to have it a proper way when the weather is chilly almost all the time.
Canberra, the Very First Impression – Part 2 – Driving on Canberra Roads. A Capital of AustraliaIn Melbourne there is a saying "Get lost in Melbourne". I think it literally happens when you are in Canberra. There are so many roundabouts (called "circles" by some Canberrians) that your head starts going round very quickly.
Canberra, the Very First Impression – Part 1 – Surprise-Surprise! and Canberra AirportA nice crispy morning. We are landing. Nice change in a landscape - now it is nicely "wavy" - hills, many hills, with trees, no "bold spots" of land. But the colour… all is light brown. Ground is brown, trees are brown.
Trip to Antarctica for.. playing harp musicHave you ever thought about going to Antarctica? What would you do there if you would go? Glaciers, icebergs, penguins, white white white… something breathtaking. Many of us would go to see and feel that things. What else can you do there? ;-)
From Melbourne to Coober Pedy – Part 3 – Ready, Steady, Go!After all planning and moral preparation was done for our Easter Coober Pedy Trip, the Day X of departure was about to start. What can happen 5 minutes before your trip is about to begin if you have cats ;-)
From Melbourne to Coober Pedy – Part 2 – Be Prepared!So, to Coober Pedy! Easy to say, scary to believe :-) It will be a long way – what do I know about it? It will be Outback, a desert, almost the middle of the Continent. Dry air, dust, reds, yellows… nothing around… it sounded reealy scary.
The BIG Things Tour – Fun trike travel around Australia92 Days, 125 Big Things and more than 19000km. Do you know what a tricycle (trike) is? I did not know till today :) Actually I saw that thing, just did not realise that it is called like that ;-)
From Melbourne to Coober Pedy Trip – Links to all story partsEverything was above my expectations! I thought it will be: dry air, hot, sand, dust, boring, reds and yellows only. Nothing like that! Fresh air, all shades of green, mixture of other colors, interesting town, amazing views, you name it :-)
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Would you like to visit all big things in Australia? Sounds exciting, isn’t it? 
Then… how would you plan your trip? Look at the guys’ itinerary.

This year Australia Day was wonderfully close to a weekend, so we decided to take an additional day off and travel somewhere.
We had several options, but because of lack of time we started searching for a place to stay very close to the Australia Day holidays. Only expensive options left and actually no caravan park was available in the places where I planned to visit.
Grampians National Park was on our horizon, but because it is very close to us (only 2-3 hours driving) I kept it as a “reserved option”, ie. if there is no option to go elsewhere, we can always go there.

[Photo Tip] Model Release for Regular Photo Stock. What about Editorial? What is Editorial?
Girls shot at Japanese Festival (Box Hill, Victoria, Australia)
Model release for regular photo stock? Yes, you need one. If you do a photograph of a person or with a person in it and want to sell it, you need to ask for a model release.
A model release allows you to sell the photo, it gives you appropriate rights for doing that. Also serious magazines and newspapers will ask you whether you have a model release for a photo, otherwise it’s a great change that it will not be published.
This is what I thought. (By the way, I still want to find how a “model release” or its template looks like. May be there is a variety of them?)
