I do not like this weather,the still ugliness of heat. I long for the British summer,staying out all day,in the sun without worrying that I ll end up looking like a Bondi backpacker. I am fair,so I tend to worry more about covering up. Ive spent a few days of the past couple of weeks at this wonderful little treasure in the middle of Sydney harbor.      http://outpost.cockatooisland.gov.au/    If you have children take them. If you have husbands or boyfriends take them.There is a steam powered crane on the far side of the island,and this is apparently the boy equivalent of seeing Elizabeth Taylor's jewels ALL of them.and allowed to try them on.  (hmm) There is also art,lots and lots of street art,from all over the world. But then there is this......
   The Island bar,they serve cocktails by the jug and guess what?! You can't drive to Cockatoo island,you have to get the ferry,so send the kids with husband on the islands' gory audio tour and grab a sweet cocktail in the sun. All under the pretense of checking out the 'street art'  

Dont forget to Slip.Slop. Slap. Beacuse looking like this does no one any favours
