Here is a slideshow of images and music I put together for a recent presentation for my local photography group.
A slice of Aussie life which encapsulates the three months of our time down under.
For some toe-tapping fun, be sure to crank up your sound and enlarge the screen.
I hope you enjoy.

Jane, I thoroughly enjoyed this! We live on the other side of the world, but spent 18 months living in New Zealand several years ago. While there we had an opportunity to visit several of the south Pacific islands and also had a brief visit to Australia. We were there on assignment, mostly in the Sydney area, and tried to soak up as much as we could in the few days we had free for sightseeing. It was so beautiful, the people friendly, the harbor…..or as you spell it harbour, was magnificent. Your video and beautiful photography took me back!!!
