Our beloved summer has finally arrived and with it comes not only longer days, clearer skies and balmier nights but endless possibilities too. 

Our nine to five is creeping into our five to nine but our annual leave remains the same, which means we’re in need of a bite-sized weekend getaway, to maximise our much-needed rest and recovery.

Now that the summer season is well and truly cranking, it’s time to soak up the city and all of its wondrous glory. To help you do just that, we’ve teamed up with Sydney Bridge Climb to serve up all the best summer activities to tackle.

A big chunk of my professional life is spent helping people improve their money wellbeing. And that’s lead me to spend a lot of time thinking about what true wellbeing means.
