Annie and Jon left corporate America to do some world traveling. This blog chronicles their unconventional path and hopefully provides a little inspiration along the way.

Australia from Jon Carr on Vimeo.

Annie and I spent 5 weeks in Australia moving from New South Wales, to Victoria, and finishing in Queensland. I put together this time lapse video highlighting some of the things we saw on our travels. While in Queensland, we stayed with some friends of Annie's from her Japan days and I was introduced to some Australian musicians I hadn't heard of. One is of aboriginal descent and I thought the music went well with the imagery. The track is called Marrurrumbul by Gurrumul Yunupingu. Thanks for the suggestion, Kylie.

Australia was tough to leave and we made some wonderful new friends and incredible memories. Hopefully, this video gives you a flavor of our experience down under.

The time lapse is awesome and the reflection in the water with the colors of the rainbow is so beautiful. Love the music. It goes so well.

Wonderful job Jon. I love the cloud effect in Blue Mountains. It looks like in a dream. 5 weeks seem too short as there is so much more for you and Annie to see. I'm looking forward to seeing more amazing time laps vid from your journey. All the best!
