Missed it by THAT much !🤏 #Nolo Sydney - Honolulu

Roger @GoonerMaui @goonermaui.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Flight time ! ✈️ Heading home the long way round. New Zealand was a last minute add on to our journey, and as Hawaiian Airlines is not flying into Auckland we are returning to Sydney with Air New Zealand to make use of our original ticket with an amended return date.

Waited patiently for La Luna to put in an appearance between the clouds, as she rose above #Queenstown Airport last night. #FullMoon #NewZealand

Oh dear ! Not something you'd like to see as you pack your bags and prepare for the flight home 😟 Nor something that Hawaii needs, in this continuous Hurricane flow. Hopefully #Nolo will make the predicted westward turn in the next few hours.

Having become honorary #Freo #Dockers fans while we stayed with Bec in #Busselton, we'll be watching the #GrandFinal here in Queenstown. And Kylie's gonna perform too !!!🤩😍 Good luck Bec, and all you lovely Freo peeps. #AFL #GrandFinal #MCG

Worse places in the world to sit in the garden and taste some Pinot Grape Juice. 🍇 🍷😊 #NockiesPallete #Queenstown #NewZealand

Whenever we're in #Glenorchy, we always take a moment to pause and remember at this memorial. A small community that gave so much. Five times, the same last name appears twice. Father/Son? Brothers? Cousins? #NewZealand

No prizes for guessing where we drove to yesterday. The 'Red Shed' looked like it could use a new coat of paint, so I took the opportunity photograph it in monochrome. #NewZealand

Roger @GoonerMaui @goonermaui.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Plenty of stars in the sky on Wednesday night here in #Queenstown #NewZealand More would have been visible but for the bright, almost full, moon. It will rise later & later over the next few days, so hopefully I'll get another chance if the sky clears.

We hit some rush hour traffic coming in the opposite direction on Wednesdy, as we drove the Mount Aspiring Road to Coronet Peak. 😉 #NewZealand

We couldn't stay in #Cardrona without having Lunch (twice) and Dinner at the historic Cardrona Hotel. Later today, we'll be traversing the Crown Range Road and returning to #Queenstown for a few nights. #NewZealand

#Freo bloody well did it ! 😀 Bec in Busselton is over the moon. I stayed up late to watch, here in the cozy lounge at waiorauhomestead.co.nz We've stayed with Ann & Blythe several times since 2014 and some of my photos are actually in their website.😊 #Cardrona #NewZealand

Said farewell to the fantastic hospitality crew aboard #IndianPacific 🚂yesterday, after taking such great care of us from #Perth to #Sydney over 5 days. Settled in to our room at #Rydges Hotel, Sydney Airport, and rested up for the night, ready for Part III of our adventures.

Not a strong enough signal on the train to watch the match. Got updates when I could. Speaking of the train...managed to shoot a vid of the entire train while we were at #BrokenHill yesterday. #IndianPacific 🚂 #Australia 🇦🇺

Yesterday we got to walk streets where Giants of the Silver Screen walked. #TerenceStamp #HugoWeaving #GuyPearce In the location setting for #Priscilla #QueenOfTheDesert Our tour guide was the fabulous #Shelita who also put on a wonderful stage show afterwards. #BrokenHill #Australia 🇦🇺🚂

A quick stop at #PortAugusta to detach the 3rd class carriages. 😉😁🤣 Not quite lunchtime yet, but seems like a good time to head to the lounge car for a glass of the Pinot juice 🍷🙂 #IndianPacific 🚂 #Australia 🇦🇺

Roger @GoonerMaui @goonermaui.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

After our stop in #Kalgoorlie yesterday, we enjoyed this view 👇 from the lounge for a few hundred miles before a camp fire stop and some dark sky stargazing in #Cook. Clocked several hundred more miles through the night. Tonight's dinner will be at Seppeltsfield Winery 🍷 #IndianPacific 🚂

A nice welcome area with appetizers & wine as we prepared to board #IndianPacific last night. 🚂#Australia 🇦🇺

Bec drove us back in to #Perth yesterday to continue our journey in #Australia 🇦🇺 We've booked a cabin on a rather special train journey for 5 days from coast to coast. #IndianPacific 🚂

So many wonderful vistas with our dear friend Becs. It wasn't til we took off our flanno's yesterday, that we discovered that we were both repping for #Lahaina in Australia. 😃

Our dear friend Rebecca (Becs) picked us up in #Perth 2 days ago and drove us to her beautiful seaside home town of #Busselton . A solar powered 🚂 is one way to reach the end of the jetty, but we chose Shanks's Pony to 'stroll' the 2 mile round trip ! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ #Australia

Stopped by Fremantle Prison yesterday. Who knows... maybe some of us have distant relatives that were transported there a long time ago ? I did notice one chap in particular. 19 Crimes 🍷?

Stirling Gardens. A short stroll from our hotel. Including The #BoonjiSpaceman that celebrates when John Glenn orbited Earth in 1962 and saw #Perth's city lights from space.

We couldn't resist one last chance to visit with the Little #Penguins as they came ashore, here in #LowHead #Tasmania last night. 🐧 Travel day today. Flying out of Launceston to Perth via Melbourne. 🛫

Roger @GoonerMaui @goonermaui.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

We love to visit #Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary #Tasmania so much that we decided to take a private guided tour with manager #Jake yesterday. Biggest thrill for @mauidi was to feed baby #Wombat Frank, who promptly fell asleep in her arms afterwards. Cuteness overload 🥹
