Beat the heat
Wednesday is set to hit a high of 34 degrees with nothing but sunshine throughout the day! Make sure you pack all the essentials to keep you protected from our beautiful Australian sun.
Grab your hat, some sunscreen and light, long sleeve clothing if you’re wanting to complete the full look. We recommend applying often throughout the day, especially if you decide to have a splash around at the BHP Water Park in Elizabeth Quay – don’t forget a towel to dry off!
Hydration is key, so make sure you grab a refillable water bottle – you’ll be able to refill at 8 different drinking water stations located on the map . If you’re toting around an esky on the day, fill it with a waste-free picnic and some ice, of course!
