Only 12 sleeps til Christmas! Are you winding down or gearing up for the season's festivities. I was walking down a early-morning-cool Sydney street knowing that the day
s temperature would climb to 29deg. and was enjoying the early morning Sydney smells of summer - pine trees lined up on the footpath outside the fruit shops - the scent of apricots and stone fruit; watermelons in big baskets, boxes of cherries and fat bunches of Christmas bush. What a beautiful time of year.
Have included a couple of images from the train trip on the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth - still having happy, lingering memories.
