You could DEFINITELY spot us a mile away. We were wearing shorts and had our beach stuff with us in downtown Sydney in August (which is pretty much winter time in Australia -- even if it gets up to 65F in the summer time). People were walking by and practically laughing out loud at us. But, I feel like I had the last laugh because I visited three different nude beaches in one day...
I fell in love with my wife all over again on Obelisk Beach.
I don't think we drank much beer at all in Australia. Instead, we were drinking wine. Australia has one of the best wineries in the world -- especially for blended wines. The winery is Rosemount Estates. They have the whole gamut, but the best were the Shiraz and Shiraz-Cabernet bottles. I don't know if anybody can beat them on a price/quality basis....
Spot on once again Isaac...glad yu had a good time here. We tend to have pretty mild winters compared to the countries most people on here live in. In summer it gets a lot hotter than 65F... Averages around 28C and regularly hits 30-35 with the odd scorcher thrown in too
A little known fact about Australia is the quality of our wines. Wines from the Hunter Valley and South Australia are world class. We export to places like Italy and France and when you can do that, you know you are making a quality drop!
