Thank you Craig Reucassel and roving public transport reporter Mark Humphries ABC Sydney 702 Breakfast radio and crew for the live broadcast from Mount Victoria Railway Station. Photos of hardy locals and staff at 5:47am with temperatures plunging -1 C with feel like down to minus 6. First time I've ever had to defrost my windscreen twice in the same morning.

Also a rare photo of the museum with the lights on at night.

The broadcast if you missed it.
