Happy New Year Steemit!
For this new year, @forexbrokr and I travelled to country New South Wales, to Yetholme. Yetholme is a small town, about three hours west of Sydney City, with a population of a bit over 250. We stayed at an Airbnb with impressive views of the night sky - though the near full moon didn’t allow us to see the true beauty of the stars.
Our surroundings have been amazing, and below are some photos I thought I’d share.
I'd love to read your comments, hear your thoughts or see your own photos, so please leave a comment below.

Beautiful photos. It looks calm and relaxing. Not far from Sydney, it would be nice to go there once.
Thanks for sharing.

So good to get away from the city crowds! The Sydney fireworks are amazing, but the other million people that you are forced to stand next to aren’t so great.
You on the other hand... Happy new year!

We still got to see those fireworks in the distance! That was pretty nice.
Happy new year :)

Beautiful part of the world. I lived in the Blue Mountains and spent a lot of time in the area in winter. I recommend staying there in the colder months when there's a chance of a little snow.

I'd love to come back in winter, I haven't had a lot of experience with snow. Do you reckon there'd be enough to make a snowman?

Certainly. Here's a photo back in October 2012 when I was stuck in the snow for 6 hours on the highway at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains ...
Yetholme, Sunny Corner, Oberon, Shooters Hill are all great places for snow chasing. The Snow forum on Weatherzone is a great resource for finding out when snow is likely in the Central Tablelands.

Wow, that's crazy! We'll definitely have to check it out in winter. Thanks for the tip about the website too :)

I didn't see this earlier, that's crazy that the roads were closed for so long. And to think that the same place is capable of having such wildly different conditions a year on!

Yep. When I was living in the mountains (it was around 2007) we had really bad bushfires. One day, I had to leave work early (in the city) and go home because a bushfire was threatening my village. The very next week, it started snowing on the bushfires. I've also been in snow in the mountains the last week of November and around Obereon in the first week of December.
