Hi all! As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, we went on a three week trip to Australia. It took me a while to go through all the pics since there are LOTS of them. Our trip included visiting Tasmania, Sydney, Whitsunday Islands (Airlie Beach & Hamilton Island) and the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve tried to put a small caption to all pics to give an idea where it was taken or what is in it. I also made a piece of art during the trip and It’s included in the pictures. So, here’s a glimpse on what we saw down there. -Micke

About Micke Nikander
Hi!
I'm a graphic designer and artist from Finland. I like creating pictures from scratch as much as documenting the wonders of the world through a lens. No, actually I like drawing more.. :)

It deffo was. I’ve seen the book in Barcelona too. Seems like they have a good distribution network. :)
