Beauty Of The Earth: February 2011

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.

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!
