Bay Marker Lookout, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia
It's an easy, circular trail to the Bay Marker Lookout, but you have to make it under your own steam—sorry, no cars allowed. This is one of the five Sydney Olympic Park Markers, cone-shaped earth mounds installed for the 2000 Olympics in Australia. They are cleverly placed to look from the air like the Australian flag's Southern Cross. From the ground, the Bay Marker gives a stunning full-360-degree view of Wentworth Common—a large grassy park—and the larger Olympic Park and stadium. You can also look over Homebush Bay (the community and the body of water) to the north. It's a dramatic melding of urban landscape, the city skyline, the wetlands and greenery, rivers, and beaches.
澳大利亚悉尼奥林匹克公园海湾标志了望台
这是一条通往海湾标志了望台的简单的环形小道，但你必须在自己的蒸汽下到达。对不起，不允许开车。这是悉尼奥林匹克公园为2000年澳大利亚奥运会安装的五个圆锥形土墩之一。它们被巧妙地放置在空中，看起来像澳大利亚国旗的南十字。从地面上看，海湾标志物可以360度全方位俯瞰温特沃斯公园（Wentworth Common），这是一个长满青草的大型公园，以及更大的奥林匹克公园和体育场。你也可以在北边俯瞰Homebush湾（社区和水体）。这是城市景观、城市天际线、湿地和绿化、河流和海滩的戏剧性融合。

Peak summer in the Southern Hemisphere
As the Northern Hemisphere slowly creeps toward spring, our neighbors to the south are enjoying the sunny days of summer. Some are even cooling off with a trip to the pool, like the swimmers in today's image of the Bronte Baths, an ocean pool located in a Sydney suburb. While seaside swimming pools aren't unique to Australia, this island country is known for its many oceanside pools, which provide sheltered spots for swimming in places where rocky shorelines and occasional shark attacks can make ocean swimming difficult or dangerous.
