Would You Go To Australia For Christmas?

With all us Brits wrapping up for the onslaught of England’s December weather, Aussies are bathing in the sun getting ready for their summer! So it’s not surprising many people are thinking of ditching their woolly coats and beanies and getting there swim gear on to go on a Australia holiday for Christmas.Some people love Christmas in the UK and would never think of going abroad however do you know the following…

Australia is lucky enough to guarantee sunshine and temperatures up to 36′C through December. Think beautiful golden beaches and clear waters and instead on warming your stove auger you will be setting up your BBQ.  It’s not all about sunshine there are loads of activities happening in Australia throughout December to make your Christmas very special, here are some of the events I found special:

Beach Night Markets – This is not your ordinary market, with over 75 stalls set on the beach at St Kilda you can spend all night wondering through the exceptionally wide variety of stalls. This market happens on the Thursday through December and begins on the 3rd. There really is something or everyone and even you’re not keen shopper you can go to food canteen and then sit and listen to the music being played.  

Christmas Carnival – To get you really in the Christmas spirit Alive Springs Christmas carnival provides plenty of xmas cheer! The carnival is very hectic but lots of fun with music, circus performers and magicians. If you’ve got children this night will be guaranteed success with market stalls offering arts and crafts and also the Universal Solar Garden. The carnival begins on the 11th of December.   

Sydney New Year Fireworks – Famous throughout the world and something that cannot be missed! Sydney bridge and opera house as the backdrop to this event you won’t see a more special, beautiful fireworks show. Being the largest fireworks display in the world you’re in for quite a treat and makes Sydney the only city to see in 2010. Sydney is a busy place in December with it also hosting Sydney Festival which show the best local talent all across Australia and also the world.
