Paradise Country
07:45 AM on Saturday 21 June 2014
After Movie World, the next day we went to Paradise Country which aims to show case the Australia farm. The kids had a good time doing gold sieving. Ernest and Esther were so excited finding interesting looking stones. They did not find any gold but they had a good time. They also tried opal mining ...
Movie World
07:17 AM on Friday 20 June 2014
After Sea World, the next day we went to Movie World which is actually pretty close to Sea World. Movie World was really nice for Ernest since it had all his favourite super heroes like Green Lantern. Esther could not go for some of the rides due to height restrictions so Ernest did not take them as ...
Sea World

After coming back to Surfer's Paradise from Tangalooma, the next day we went to Sea World. The kids had lots of fun at Sea World. There was not a lot of people around so it was really nice to walk about. Compared to congested and packed Singapore, it was a great experience to move around without the ...
Funny faces
05:30 PM on Tuesday 17 June 2014
While waiting for our photos to be ready, we decided to a group selfie. It turned out really well. I could not believe that this is ISO 1000 on the iPhone 5S. I thought that it looked very reasonable. Not bad for a little sensor.

Pauline and I took a 2 sitter and we rode in tandem with me steering the ATV. The kids had a kiddie sized ATV each ...
Tangalooma beach

Decide to take the opportunity to take some pictures of the sunset at Tangalooma. The following is a HDR. I think the composition is rather nice and there are some nice colors. The little boat adds a bit of interest to the picture. The next one was also a HDR post processed for some lens blurring ef ...
Shipwrecks at Tangalooma
10:07 AM on Tuesday 17 June 2014
On the second day at Tangalooma, we took a boat out to have a look at the shipwrecks near the island. Along the way, we saw lots of fishes in the clear waters. Pauline even managed to get a photo of a bird snacking on a fish. The shipwrecks are serving as home for many marine life but it is still sa ...

Dolphin feeding
09:03 PM on Monday 16 June 2014
One of the key highlights of the resort is definitely the dolphin feeding. Visitors get to feed the dolphins which come to the beach regularly. The attraction for the dolphins would of course be the free fishes handed out to them. But the visitors do get a nice pitch by the guides on their conservat ...
