Six sleeps to go: From the beach to the bush
Christmas celebrations have come a week early. At the Elouera Surf Club nippers turned 20 tonnes of ice into a snow fall, while at Blaxland, in the Blue Mountains, Santa takes some last minute requests as he swapped his sleigh for a Rural Fire Service truck. Crowds gather to celebrate the festive spirit at the annual Sydney 'Carols in The Domain' and The Smith family delivers Christmas presents to families and children across the city.
