Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia Trip, July 9 through August 8, 1998

This was a trip of a lifetime. Wait for the pictures to load, and I think you will enjoy my trip as well.

An overlook from high on a hill, near Nadi, Fiji. And to think it's winter there, when I was there.

Following a beautiful day at Mana Island in Fiji, a welcome home sunset.

Following three days in Fiji to get the days and nights straight, I ventured to New Zealand for a wonderful week on both the North and South Island. Remember, it is WINTER there when I was there!!

The thermo springs in Rotorua, New Zealand. They just come up all over the city. Had a wonderful "bath" in them....so relaxing!!

NOPE, this picture is NOT upside down. It was taken in a "mirror pool". Mt. Cook

Around each turn, New Zealand offered more and more beautiful views. Mt Cook here.

Remember, it is WINTER here in New Zealand. I don't have flowers blooming outside in MY WINTER, in Illinois.

Sheep herding, via "coach" and four wheel drive vehicles.

A trip through Milford Sound in New Zealand, where the mountains come up from the sea. Just beautiful.

HUGE, powerful waterfalls by the sea view.

The same waterfalls--only this time from the air shot. I took a small aircraft back to Queenstown, New Zealand. Saved me 3 hours of "coach" riding, and had an eyeful of beautiful sights.

This page has been just Fiji and New Zealand. Click below for the Australia part of the trip. Enjoy!!
