Summertime in Australia
Relaxed Aussie Summer
Are you longing for a long hot summer , Lazing at the beach with your friends ?
Summertime-- Long hot days to come . We like to find a coastal spot for this summer somewhere we can relax under the shade of a tree when it is too hot to go snorkeling or walking on the beach.
It gets really hot here so I like to live in a town with a beach as most of the summer I live in a bikini & a sarong as its often too hot to get dressed !!
Summer is about long hot days trying to keep cool and refreshed where possible with fans or airconditioning + drinking plenty of water.
Having a bbq at home or by the beach cooking fish you have just caught.
Best ways to spend your time here in summer !
Snorkeling !
I have to talk about this as I love it very much.
My first time ever was up of a boat out of Cairns and I loved it - the feeling of being free.
I dont understand why I took so long to get back into it again.
However we started up with our own gear in Sydney !
There was a pool on the beach we thought we would go for our first try together.
I wasnt expecting to see anything so you can imagine my surprise when I came across a Big Blue Groper swimming beside me!!
Beautiful Aussie beaches !
A few favorite surfing beaches in Australia
I used to live near Boomerang Beach which is in Pacific Palms,not far down from Forster in New South Wales
As well as having an interesting name name, Boomerang is the pick of the beaches along the gloriously unspoilt Forster-Tuncurry coast of mid-north NSW. The ocean is beautiful around Boomerang’s northern headland, where surfers / snorkelers and swimmers are often treated to a visit from the local dolphins that are quite playful !
Its a lovely spot for a picnic or my favororite was Seal Rocks where I even swam in winter.
It is so peaceful, as if if time is standing still !
Bondi Beach is a great favorite as well , not mine as too many crowds, however it was fascinating to watch the surfers while we were having a coffee along the waterfront.
Good time to explore Western Australia
Summertime is great for exploring new areas with family .
A great area to explore is the Western Australian Coast from Albany area right up to Exmouth.
There are many beaches and Islands to check out and we enjoyed snorkeling at Ningaloo Reef.
However if you do plan on going that far in the summer months check for cyclone warnings first before heading up the coast.
It is really hot and reached 45 degrees here .
If in Perth why not spend a day at Rottnest Island or one of the many beaches .
