Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.

Again my trusty 16mm wide angle did the trick. This seal was playing with me. He would power up to me, stop dead in front, give me a big cheesy grin and hold it long enough for me to shoot!
