After a holiday in West Australia I have a few photo's of birds of which I am not sure of the identification. Am I right that these are photo's of a young Pacific Gull (and one of an adult)?

Yes Henk, all are Pacific Gulls, the adult has the full "lipstick" (colouring on the tip of both upper and lower bill) and the juveniles have the heavy beak, separating then from their closest counterpart, the Kelp Gull which would also likely have a black beak.
