Sunrise at the Great Barrier Reef An early morning meant we got to catch the beautiful sunrise. There's something to be said about the calm and peacefulness of the sun rising while in the middle of the ocean. I really enjoyed the quietness and that feeling of just how small we are in this world. It's really easy to take this creation for granted, but its times like this that make you really...

Hamilton Island / Airlie Beach Leaving Melbourne towards Hamilton Island/Airlie Beach meant we were on the last leg of our trip. A short stopover in Brisbane allowed Photos and I to satisfy a seafood pasta craving we seemingly didn't quench whilst in Melbourne.

Engagement As mentioned in the previous post, we ran into the couple that was the inspiration for the proposal graffitti. Rewinding to our first day visit to St. Kilda, Photos had mentioned that one of his bucket list items was to photograph subjects in another country.
