Pancake Rocks in New Zealand

http://www.travel-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/pancake-rocks-new-zealand-300x225.jpg

Pancake Rocks is located on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island. They are located at Dolomite Point, near the small village of Punakaiki which is located in between Greymouth and Westport. Not 100% sure why they’re called Pancake Rocks, but maybe it’s because they look like giant pancakes coming out of the ocean! This incredible effect to the rocks was made by the ocean, wind, and acidic rain. Looking out to the large, wild ocean, I feel like …

I have to say, I love Australia. The natural environmental is great in Australia, and the oceans are no exception. Australia has the largest barrier reef in the world – the Great Barrier Reef – which is also the largest natural feature on Earth. And there are beaches all over the place in Australia. There are many top places to have a barbecue with friends and the family. Sometimes I feel jealous of people who live in Australia.

http://www.travel-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Hyams-Beach-Jervis-Bay-300x225.jpg

Jervis Bay is located about 2 hours drive, south of Sydney in NSW. The place is very quiet, but during holiday season it can become a little crowded, and you will need to book in advance. But it is still much quieter than Bondi Beach and Surfers Paradise. We went to Jervis Bay during the long weekend for the Easter holiday. At this time of the year, it is quite cold and there was a little bit of rain too. But …
