Summer in Sydney
Bondi Icebergs
Here’s the thing about a Sydney summer: it never asks you to choose. Start early with a sunrise dip in an ocean pool, beachside yoga or a warm pastry from a local bakery. Then follow the feeling wherever it takes you – snorkel in a hidden cove, hike a bushland trail or linger over a long lunch by the water. There’s culture to discover, too. Walk with an Aboriginal guide and hear stories stretching back thousands of years, or wander into a gallery on a whim. Come golden hour, head to a rooftop for a drink as the city lights up below. Then make a night of it with live music, major events and more. That’s the Sydney side of summer.
