You know how the saying goes, 'Christmas seems to get earlier every year'. It's still two months out yet the brochures have begun appearing in the mailbox, baubles and tinsel getting hung at the supermarket and fat blokes in red suits are waving placards by the side of the road announcing Xmas Sales.

Well, in that spirit, Swellnet would like to jump on the early season bandwagon and display our best of 2012 photos a whole two months before 2012 ends. In this instance it's Jack Dekort offering his best shots of the year so far: JOB at Pipe, Occy at D'Bah, Dane Peterson at Noosa and Harrison Roach too.

This is Part 1, we'll have Part 2 later today (Jack took a lot of great photos this year).
