Congratulations Mike, well done. I agree whole heartedly with Gary it should be World Heritage listed.

haha no pelicans! Although there were some in his shortlisted january entries
Unfortunately no, no family. 2 weeks with Kate at home by herself with the kids - she's not looking forward to it

Thanks John - I can't wait to see the place. It's been a must-see for so long.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words - I'm still gob-smacked, speechless. It hasn't sunk in yet.
I haven't even dared to look at the itinerary yet!

Then theres the headland on the right with its rough and weather beaten base with lush growth on top. And finally those rocks in the foreground look like a painting. They really stand out. What type of lens did you use for this image may i ask? |
Thanks Steve, I appreciate your comments.
I'd been using my 24-105, but swapped out for the Sigma 17-70mm because on the crop sensor of the 40D, the 24mm doesn't give a wide enough FOV sometimes.
Canon 40D, Sigma 17-70mm lens @ 19mm, 1/320s exposure @ f/4.5, ISO160.
Thanks again everyone!
