Hamilton Island



Hi Guys sorry for the lateness in blog updates, but ive been pretty busy and havent been taking as many photos as i guess i should, and i find blogging pretty boring without visual aid, So for those who know and those that don't although i have only been back in Australia for abit over 2 weeks, I have spent the last 9 up at amzing hamilton island, with a few friends, We had a great time although we had a few minor set backs, The first being a few weeks before ariving the "Round House" the place we were ment to be staying in was hit by one of the biggest cyclones to hit tropical queensland in over 100 years, But not to mind we were still able to stay in the bungalow, witch is still really nice, The second was the weather being slightly less than perfect. For the most part the it was quite rainy the whole time we were there but still warm with patches of sun, we got 2 sunny days,them being the first and last, most of the following pics were taken on them as i dont like taking my cam out in the rain :) And 3rdly we had a bit of a bingle with our golf cart, nothing crazy, while paul was driving he took his eyes of the road hitting the gutter witch bent one of the wheels, putting the cart out for the remainder of our stay and earing paul a 350$ bill. But it was defantaly a great trip. Tomorrow it is back to trying to find a rental property as the first people didnt except our application, oh well. Oh yeah i have been wanting a fisheye lens for my camera for quite some time now and i ordered one last week and when i got home this arfternoon it had come, still havent taken it outside yet, and it doesnt seem to like low light so i will take it out tomorrow and have some fun, Next update hopefully sooner :)



First day on the balcony, getting set up in the house
Paul down at beach
First day of the nice weather


Tired ?
I like the way these 2 photos came out

Veiw from round house
Drained pool :(

We decide to go for a really long walk to find a small beach on the other side of the island witch sounded like it would be really cool. so after walking up hill for at least 2 hours in the heat wind and wet, we came to the section were we were ment to go to get to the beach only to see a sign that said trail closed, soooo annoying as you think it would be easy enough to put a sign at the start of the trail as opose to the mid way. oh well, next time.


One of 2 snakes we saw, a common tree snake ( non venomous)
This guy became my mate, he came around every day with his friend and loved apple cores
These guys were really cools aswell and not as scared


Cheeky!


soooo 80's
We went on a half day snorkel safari, witch was really nice aswell the only downer was the weather, shortly after i took these photos the rain started bucketing down and i didnt want to ruin my camera, i would have like to get more pictures of this, but oh well
He was offended by his 2xl suit

  1. hey... i did enjoy your hamo post. too bad about the weather. but it looks like you were all having fun. that sucks that paul crashed the buggy... i'm sure it had nothing to do with alcohol...!!! ;) glad noone was hurt. i'm sure that wasn't much fun having to walk to and from the shops each day though. pretty hilarious that the path to the beach was blocked off after all that walking! so typical... pretty nice you got to hang out with the cockies and lorikeets again. did you go to the koala sanctuary at all? i'm happy you like your fisheye too... nice photo of some yummy food... xx
