Beautiful Australia



Welcome to Australia, one family's look at this wonderfully unique country that we are fortunate to live in.
Australia isn't one of those glossy and professionally presented sites so where not going to show you all those usual places here in Australia that so many other sites want to show you. Instead we'll take you to places that we've been to and show you things the others don't.
Map of Australia
You will get to see Australia just as ordinary people see it - through photos taken by ordinary people. That is if you could call our family 'ordinary'.
Perhaps we're not 'ordinary' but we certainly are average Australians and we love this wonderful country with a passion that we certainly make no apology for.
So come with us and look through the camera lens at our Australia - we love it!

About Malaysia



About Malaysia - just like many other countries, Malaysia has its hidden gems as well as traps. The idea is to discover the gems and to avoid the traps. I will share with you all that I know and love about this beautiful and friendly country where I was born and where I call home.

Though it is a relatively young country, gaining independence from the British only in 1957, it has an interesting history and a rich and diverse culture. Here you'll discover more about Malaysia, and hopefully discover the gems. Check out the things you can do in Malaysia.

Culture and Religion

The Malays here are similar to the Malays of Indonesia and the Philippines. They form about 60% of the population. This is followed by the Chinese, at about 25% of its population. The Indians form about 8% of its population. The others include indigenous people of the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. There are also significant numbers of Eurasians here too.

Being different in culture and religious beliefs have contributed to making us very unique and interesting. Though Islam is the official religion, there is freedom of religion in Malaysia. You'll be surprised by the number of churches and temples you will see during your visit here.
