A trip to the football



Sydney's ANZ stadium.
Our family's first trip to the AFL was taken a couple of weeks ago thanks to some free tickets.

Winter Magic

Every year on the weekend closest to The Winter Solstice the Blue Mountains celebrates with the Winter Magic Festival in Katoomba. The main  street is closed off for stalls, street performers and a parade. Lots of people get into the spirit of things by dressing up in something zany for the day.

Ever wondered where London buses go to retire?

                 Australia of course!
                                                  
And this is from where the photo was taken. A recently taken over cafe called Mountain Ridges.  Very nice guy running the place who wanted to know our opinion on how the place looked and was very enthusiastic. We didn't read his business card till it was too late to ask what he meant by "vibrat and warm". Not sure if  "vibrat" was missing an "n" or a "e".

A Little Leather Anyone?

You can get your clothes made to order on Gang Gang St in Katoomba.  Apparently if you're into skinned cows this is the place for you!

Katoomba Poster Pole


About three years ago several of these poles were installed along Katoomba street for people to promote their stuff, instead of using other people's walls.
