Our obsession with throwing anything and everything on the barbecue. If you can’t turn it to charcoal on the Weber, then it ain’t worth eating!
The Stokehouse in St Kilda. It’s right on the beach so you not only get to see the sunset, you also get to do some spectacular people-watching. Nothing makes a cocktail taste sweeter than watching some poor bugger jogging past you.
Visit the Murray River. I grew up on the banks of the Murray and it was idyllic. The beauty of the area is breathtaking and the river smells so clean and fresh that, years later, the smell still stays with me.

To Broome on Cable Beach. You can watch the sun set over the ocean and, when the tide is right and the moon is right, you see this optical illusion called a staircase to the moon. When there’s a full moon on low tide the light is reflected in puddles, giving the illusion of a stairwell on the water. I haven’t seen one yet but I want to keep going back until I do!
Travelling to the North Pole and then the South Pole. We’re heading to Iceland to hopefully see the Aurora Borealis then it’s back to Australia and on a ship to the Ross Sea in Antarctica. I’ll go from 100 per cent night-time to 100 per cent daytime within a week. It’s going to mess up my biorhythms but I’m hanging out for it, man! The thing I love about travel is when you come back you see things differently. You see home as it really is.

Barbecues. Really basic ones. Sausage sandwich on white bread with a choice of two sauces, barbecue or tomato. The money I save on not having a variety of fancy-pants foods I can spend on really good quality sozziges and delicious white wine. Oh, and onions. Must have onions.
Do the Bondi-to-Bronte walk, but go really early in the morning before it gets too hot and too crowded.
In various rented holiday houses up and down the coast from Port Macquarie to Killcare to Mollymook. It was the same routine wherever we were; beach all day, come home for dinner and then pestering the adults to teach us how to play 500.

In Sydney you can’t beat Opera Bar at the Opera House. Have a drink then have the best sushi in Sydney at Kenji’s. Kenji is a master.
In front of the TV watching the cricket! And then as a teenager we’d catch the bus to Mills Beach on Mornington Peninsula to hang out with girls.
Taking our son Bugsy to the beach for the first time and catching the ferry from Woolwich (near my home) to the city as much as possible.

From Sydney, now divides her time between Sydney and Geelong
The first whiff of jasmine in the air and getting a good dose of vitamin D in the Australian sunshine.
One of my all time favourite places is Bondi Icebergs; it has one of the best views Sydney has to offer.
My husband is a farmer so summers for us now mean harvest time in Western Victoria. I also can’t wait to spend some quality time on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches… there’s nothing like summertime calamari and chips on the beach!

From Perth, now based in Melbourne
I love the warm nights, sitting in the backyard having a barbecue. It’s my favourite time of the year. I also love that it’s warm when you wake up: it just makes me want to jump out of bed and go for a walk.
Cottesloe Beach near Perth. Grab some fish and chips, lay out a towel and spend some hours watching the sun set over the most beautiful beach in Australia.
I would recommend they head down to Margaret River for a few days. Great food, great wine and great beaches.

Fly or drive to Palm Beach and go for a swim or surf, followed by lunch at The Boathouse.
Spending time in Milton on the NSW south coast; fishing, gardening and going to the beach. I love hanging out with the family there and having friends to stay – and of course the long, hot summer nights.
