What To Do When (Summer)

The Australian summer is typified by long lazy days at the thousands of beaches on both sides of the content. The interior is hot but long days mean plenty of opportunity to capture the intense colours of the desert. The southern summer is ideal for hiking and exploring. And in the north, the intensity of tropics starts to build with dramatic clouds and skies and lush lush green.
