Just a few hours into its journey from Sydney to Perth. The Indian Pacific as it approaches Bathurst for the final time in 2025. I don’t get to this part too much, but I had to stop and capture this iconic train.

It's my favourite week of the year - it's Sydney Marathon time. This is my seventh consecutive year of running this event, and I have seen it grow from a city marathon to an Abbott World Major Marathon. I have run in many parts of the world, and I can honestly say that Sydney is one of my favourite places to run. I can't wait to share the run with 35,000 runners this week. And you can see why I love running here - I took this sunrise photo at the Opera House earlier this year.

Whenever I’m in Sydney, I make sure my morning run goes under the bridge. This is the sight that awaits. Nothing beats it.

While on an extremely short trip to London I still made time to wander around and take some photos. It truly is one of my favourite places to visit and one of the greatest cities of the World.
