Summer Down Under

Last Updated: Nov. 14, 2007

Sydney is heating up and Bondi is just one of the many beaches where you can feel the summer sizzle.

The summer sun makes the Great Barrier Reef and the islands of the Whitsundays even more tempting.

As the mercury rises, so does the nightlife in Cairns – the party capital of the north.

Escape the heat in the lush, green rainforests of Fraser Island and the Daintree

The Australian Sun is one of the harshest in the world

Manly Beach on the North shore of Sydney is always a cool, very popular place to relax and do touristy stuff. Its easily accessible by the ferry which leaves from Circular Quay

I’m a Sydneysider and a Bondi local and love Bondi Beach. However, it is always packed with people and full of tourists, so if you’re looking for a more chilled, down-to-earth beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
