Hello fellow Steemians!
Welcome to my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday - where the winner of the weekly round will be able to participate for the total of 200 SBD! Today, you can participate by submitting your personal pictures from your travels to the continent of Australia. I am also adding New Zealand to the same challenge as there were some concerns from other Steemians as to which continent NZ belongs to.

Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.
Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total.
Please see the winner of Asian Sunday and give him your support if you like his image to be the one winning the weekly price and entering the other stages of the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge. You can vote for him by upvoting his winner announcement post below:

@best-trip-eva Asian Sunday entry:
Sunrise at Mt. Rinjani (3,726 meters or 12,224 ft). This is the second highest volcano in Indonesia. Mt. Agung - the highest volcano on Bali island, which recently erupted - is visible on the back-right. All three of the Gili Islands can be seen before it. On the left side in the clouds the perfect cone shape of Rinjani is visible. The picture was taken the end of August 2017 and the trekking of the volcano was the highlight of my journey in Indonesia.

Milford Sound
I took this image on our way back from Milford Sound to Queenstown, if I remember it right. The windy road along the lake just made a perfect scenery and the redish purple sky with the clouds looked fantastic. We drove for about 3 hours and just passed about 10 years. Incredible... I wish I can go back one day and explore this incredible country again.

From the top of Sumner hills, you can see the coast line. I decided to capture it at night while the lights were shining leaving the wood or field as dark patches. The moon was at the rendez-vous to create this magnificent view :)
Location: Christchurch, New Zealand.

This photo was actually taken from the last hill before reaching Taylors mistake beach. It is a little further pass ferry made and Redcliff. If you go back to Christchurch, you should definitely go there... It's beautiful.

We used to live in Christchurch and we loved Sumner. It was where I spent my first Valentines Day with my wife, and we also hang out with friends there quite often. We love to go up Sumner Hill as well, where you can also see the town of Lyttleton on the other side of the hills. Thanks for sharing, brings back great memories!

That's right, Sumner on one side and lyttletown on the other. I really loved my time spent in Sumner, it was one of the best place I lived in even though the town was really affected by the earthquake.

This beautiful view is from the "neck" lookout on Bruny Island, Tasmania. The neck is a small strip of land dividing the northern from the southern part of Bruny Island which is known for its stunning nature.

That would be a horrible set of stairs to climb after working out legs in the gym. Great shot with the leading lines. That looks like such a relaxing place to spend the day.

I actually climbed these stairs after riding my bike there for a whole day haha. It certainly is an amazing place! I camped right on the other side of the long neck beach so it wasn't far to go to this viewpoint for sunrise :)

Thanks Tomas! We managed to get a huge delegation for @travelfeed last week so the number of submissions is skyrocketing at the moment and so is the time needed for curation, but in a few days we will put our optimised curation system in place so I hope to be able to submit to your photo contests every day again soon :)

On my first visit to New Zealand I spent a night in downtown Auckland. Early in the morning I made my way to a bridge from where I could overlook the skyline and some interesting intersections below. With a longtime exposure I could create a nice effect for the photo

Last year I went to New Zealand. Mount Cook had just had a bout of snowfall the day before I arrived. This was perfect for me as I was trekking on a crisp layer of fresh snow among the amazing snowy mountains.

The marvelleous green rolling hills of Coromandel Peninsula in North Island, New Zealand. After visiting the dramatic South Island, I was convinced that the North Island could not compete with it and that it would disappoint. How wrong I was! The North Island may not be as wild and pristine, yet it has an incredible charm and diversity in natural landscapes, that you can't help but fall in love with it and want to move there immediately!

There's always some sort of "competition" between the North and the South Island. But really, both are beautiful! 💓 Never got a chance to visit Coromandel, but kind of near to where I was before - in Hamilton. But I heard Coromandel got the best views of the coast, and seafood, too!

On a cloudy day we were driving up to the Hunter Valleys, and we past this patch of grassland with a pond and cows and sheep gazing in the distance. It somehow reminded me of an African Savanna. It is very interesting to see landscapes like this in Australia., something that I wasn't quite expecting.

I do not want to leave this magical place, a magnificient sight. The water is very clear. As well as blue. There is everything he promises to be and more. Really one of those places where you need to see for yourself. You will not regret it.

This is the famous SkyCity Tower in Auckland CBD. It is the tallest building in all of New Zealand. You can get to adore its structure from a worm's eye view. But you can also go at the top to see the beautiful 360-degree view of the city of Auckland.

It doesn't get any more Australian than a Kookaburra in the Australian bush, this photo was taken just a few days ago on a family camping trip in the rural areas of New South Wales.

In my visit to Sydney in Australia, I found this nice kangaroo model, everyone was fascinated with it, many found it funny how this animal native to this country made such funny poses. The kangaroos have large and powerful hind legs, large feet able to jump, a long and muscular tail to maintain balance and a small head. Kangaroos are herbivores, feeding on grass and roots. All species are nocturnal and crepuscular, usually spending the day in quiet and feeding during cold evenings and nights, usually in groups. They have a life expectancy of approximately 18 years.

This place is the classic image that comes to mind when listening to the word australia, after a kangaroo, the sidney theater or opera theater is an important piece in the architecture and art of this giant. The reflection of something so beautiful in the mirror of the water gives that magical sensation that we all want to know.

That is a very bad practice to steal somebody else's image and submit into the contest in order to win rewards. If I see that again I will take an actin against you. Take this as a friendly advice! Tomas
