While Santa is normally seen at Christmas delivering presents in a sleigh, in Canberra they were seen delivering gifts in a rather different mode of transport.

More than 800 motorcycle riders, many dressed up as the man in the red and white suit, took to the streets of Canberra on Saturday morning to take part in the ACT Motorcycle Riders Association's annual toy run.
Now in its 37th year, the event saw riders from Canberra and surrounding areas do a lap of the city starting at Old Parliament House, before returning to donate toys, money and food to charities ahead of the festive season.
Toys were donated to The Salvation Army as part of its Christmas appeal, while food and more than $4000 in donations were given to St John's Care.
The motorcycle association's vice president Jen Woods said preparation for the toy run had been underway for several months.
"We let the individual groups do their own donations and they bring it in to hand over on the day, but there's a lot of planning for a ride like this," she said.
"The motorcyclists have been conducting the toy run for a long time, and we just keep on doing it."
As well as motorcycling groups from around Canberra, several other groups from Eurobodalla, as well as Yass and Goulburn, also took part.
"We also had Defence Force riders, and there was a good presence from them," Ms Woods said.
"The ACT postmen always come along as well and donate over the years, and there were riders from ACTION buses as well."
As well as the ride itself, there was also a competition to find the best dressed riders, with many dressed in Santa costumes.
While they needed help with the Santa suit, many of the motorcyclists had no troubles with the beard element of the costumes.
Many of the bikes themselves were given a makeover in Christmas decorations.
"There are many generous motorcycling communities, and they love to come together and show off their bikes," Ms Woods said.
"People are able to differentiate between the ordinary motorcyclists and the bikies."
With Christmas just around the corner, Ms Woods said the donation of food and toys will go a long way at this time of year.
"We know from the delegations from The Salvation Army and St John's Care that all these supplies are critical at Christmas time," she said.
