We are in Sydney for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year. We are staying near the city but I have vowed to make a daily pilgrimage to one of the best ocean pools in NSW: Wylies Baths at Coogee. I took this photo this morning around 8.30 before the crowds arrived. 

 We recently spent ten days travelling in Tasmania. Beautiful landscape. Cradle Mountain, Port Arthur and the coastline of Southern Tassie are spectacular. Queenstown's scoured landscape due to copper mining and the very original Museum of Old and New Art are both definitely worth a visit.
This shot was taken from the top of Mount Wellington in Hobart. There is normally a pretty amazing view of Australia's southern most city from here, but we caught the mountain on a wet day and got to hang out in the clouds.
