In Australia, life revolves around nature and outdoor activities. Truth be told, the country is blessed with fantastic beaches, cute animals and gorgeous scenery.

Indeed, you need a break from moisture measurements. Drive 36 km south of Sydney, near Cronulla, to unwind at the Royal National Park. You can either trek the cliff-fringed coast, walk through eucalyptus bush lands, observe whales migrating, swim under the waterfalls in Wattamolla, or admire some aboriginal rock art.

Somewhere deep inside, you know hard work is overrated 

Who hasn’t heard of the famous Bondi Beach, 9 km from Sydney? It’s time to make your way towards the southern end of the beach, where the Bondi Icebergs Club has something quite unique to offer.
