1. Play the watermelon seed competition. Stand in a row and see who can spit their seed the furthest. Strangely addictive!<\/p>\n
2. Take advantage of the summer holiday sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Fuel up on frozen treats. <\/p>\n 4. Two words: BBQ gains. <\/p>\n 5. Make a splash! Enjoy the water in different ways like snorkelling<\/a>, surfing lessons<\/a> or kayaking<\/a>.<\/p>\n 6. Stargaze. The summer sky looks different to winter \u2013 take it all in while it lasts.<\/p>\n 7. Wear bright colours \u2013 embrace the summer mood.<\/p>\n 8. Enjoy a rooftop bar or three. The Wotif team love the Old Clare Hotel<\/a> Rooftop Pool and Bar in Sydney, Naked in the Sky in Melbourne and Spicers Balfour<\/a> in Brisbane.<\/p>\n 9. People watch at a caf\u00e9. Or at said rooftop bar.<\/p>\n 10. Take advantage of movies in the park at Moonlight Cinema<\/a>. <\/p>\n 11. Wake up early – seize that holiday.<\/p>\n 12. Dedicate yourself to some laziness. It\u2019s summer afterall.<\/p>\n 13. Do all the things outdoor.<\/p>\n 14. Enjoy a bonfire (legally of course).<\/p>\n 15. Sandcastles \u2013 they\u2019re not just for kids.<\/p>\n 16. Volleyball \/ Frisbee \/ Beach Cricket. Make the effort and bring the equipment.<\/p>\n 17. Take a day trip. These are great all year-round, but in summer having the extra hours of daylight helps.<\/p>\n 18. Channel your inner child and go to the nearest water park or play catch with your best mate.<\/p>\n 19. Get sandy, the beaches are calling.<\/p>\n 20. Eat cool. Consume foods that cool your internal system, such as sweet summer fruits, fresh veggies and bitter food rather than salty or spicy.<\/p>\n 21. Infuse your water. This might help with your water intake too. You could put in mint, citrus, ripe fruit, or strawbs.<\/p>\n 22. Take up a summer hobby. Gardening, bird watching, surfing\u2026 just a few ideas!<\/p>\n 23. Get cucumbering. Putting cucumbers on your eyes after a long summer\u2019s day will bring down the temperature of your body (and help with puffiness). <\/p>\n 24. Create a summer playlist. Or just use one on Spotify.<\/p>\n 25. If you\u2019re working, make your schedule more summer friendly. Start and finish earlier.<\/p>\n 26. Preserve or jamify summer\u2019s best food like apricots, blackberries or lemons.<\/p>\n 27. Make honeydew and mint slushies. Recipe? Honeydew + mint + ice. Voila!<\/p>\n 28. Put your phone down and look up.<\/p>\n 29. Host a movie night in your backyard.<\/p>\n 30. If you have kiddies, DIY teepee.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need to squeeze in one last summer getaway?
