My name is Ann.  

 I am a travel addict and photographer.  I do not make money from my photography, there is too much competition out there and besides, I want to continue to enjoy what I do.  Of course I may take this on more seriously when I retire.  That is 2 years away and can't come quick enough.

😉

I have had this blog for many years now.  It's a shame that blogging has been pretty much replaced by videos and tic-toc shorts.  

Let's face it, most people these days have the attention span of a fish.

As you can see from the links to the right, I have completed many pages and stories of travels and photography.  If you have stumbled across this site, then I hope that I can entertain you for a little while.

PHOTOGRAPHY


Below is just a snippit of my favourite photos.  I have too many favourites to put here, so this will change from time to time as I create new images.

I have come a long way since my first DSLR, Canon 60D in 2013.  I have always enjoyed taking photos since very small with whatever cheap camera there was at the time.  

Following hubby's great shots with his first DSLR in Europe 2011, I knew I had to relent and get a DSLR Camera for myself, and It's been photo wars ever since.

😉 😎


I have tried all genres and love the challenge of being out of my comfort zone.

I tend to gravitate more towards macro photography with flowers being my favourite. 

 I find street photography really interesting.  You need to be creative as we don't want to see just people walking on streets.  That's boring.

I have always loved night photography but unfortunately don't really have much of a chance to pursue this genre at the moment.  Come on retirement!

Hubby and I both do a lot of landscape photography as we enjoy our drives of discovery.  However, if we are bush walking, you will often see me saying to hubby to go ahead as I am happy to sit on my little three pronged chair, taking photos of tiny flowers, leaves, weeds and grass lol. Or moss and lichen and maybe babbling creeks etc.

Anyway, enough of my rant.

The Big Lap




 ~~oOo~~

In 2021 hubby and I started our Big Lap around Australia early May. 

2022 and we saw the new year in at a quiet recreational reserve in Cavendish, Victoria, just south of the Grampians.

2025, after spending a couple of cold years in Tasmania, we headed up north through Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland to finish the Big Lap.

We have seen some amazing places in Australia.  Check them out on the links to your right.

You are also welcome to follow me on my youtube channel - aussirose travels.

Below is just a sample of amazing sights that we have seen around Australia.  There is a link to the Big Lap below for a more detailed itinerary of our adventures.
