Sydney Harbour Bridge, Milsons Point, Thursday 14.05 June 30th 2005 .
Sydney has had showery weather over the last few days and now heavy rain has begun to fall. But the much needed rain brings its own problems. Localised flooding in the city, road accidents and in the north of New South Wales, flood waters are expected to rise above 10m tonight in the city of Lismore and could flow over a levee protecting the central business district. About 3000 people are being evacuated.

Berowra Valley, Hornsby, Monday 07.20 June 27th 2005 .
Fog begins to clear with the rising sun in this steep valley. The track I am on is part of the Great North Walk which is a 250km marked track from the centre of Sydney, mostly through bushland, to Newcastle. It takes about two weeks to do the complete walk.

Clarkes Point, Woolwich, Saturday 14.05 June 25th 2005.
A rainbow makes an appearance during a rain shower. I was unable to stop the raindrops getting on my lens. It's good to finally have some rain over the last few days in Sydney.

Ewenton House, Ewenton Park, Balmain, Friday 14.45 June 24th 2005.
Ewenton Park overlooks Jubilee Bay/Camerons Cove and contains one of Balmains grand waterfront houses, Ewenton. Built in 1854 as a single story dwelling it was extended bewteen 1862 and 1873. It was purchased in 1911 by Henry Brisbane Swan, a timber merchant and local wharf owner. After his death it fell into disrepair but has now been meticulously restored. The garden you see in the foreground is part of the public park.

Darling Park, Sussex St, Thursday 13.15 June 23rd 2005.
Inside the twin office blocks in Darling Park (seen in yesterday's photo) there is walkway that leads to a beautiful garden where office workers can relax and enjoy a break. This stairway leads to that area. It almost seems the people are ascending to a higher plane.

Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Harbour, Wednesday 11.05 June 22nd 2005.
Cockle Bay Wharf, on Darling Harbour, was Sydney's first purpose built dining and entertainment precinct. It was completed in the late 1990's. This view towards the city takes in the towering office blocks of Darling Park. The weather was bright and sunny, but rather cold. It really feels as though winter has finally arrived.

Sydney Harbour Bridge Tuesday 16.50 June 21st 2005.
Today is the shortest day of the year. The winter solstice marks the point when the southern hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun. Once, the cold months were relied upon to bring much needed rain, but this year they have largely failed to do that. Meanwhile, the northern hemisphere will enjoy its longest day. We have to wait until December 21st to get ours.
