Blue Mountains
We spent a couple of days in the Blue Mountains, just west of Sydney, staying in an apartment in Wenworth Falls
Bizarrely just north of Katoomba it snowed during the night and to the west there were bushfires!!
In Katoomba we took the steepest railway ride in the world down the mountains and walked to Echo point through the forests to get a great view of the Three Sisters

Cricket at the Sydney Cricket Ground
We saw day 2 of one of Englands warm up matches for the Ashes against the NSW Speed Blitz at the SCG.
Despite early torrential downpours the weather turned to 30 degrees and Strauss and Pietersen reached their 50's whilst Flintoff was on 48 at close of play. Trescothick only made 9 before being bowled and left the tour after this match. NSW had Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath playing for them
Bring on the Ashes!
