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.
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".
