Summer in Queensland, Australia

Summer in Queensland, Australia consists of very hot humid days (usually between 30 degrees Celsius and 35 degree Celsius.) and even hot nights. Summer also consists of wild storms, rain and even the occasional cyclone.

There are many ways us Queenslander's like to try and stay cool, this includes using air conditioning or fan/s, wearing as little clothing as possible, having a nice cold drink, having a cold shower, going for a swim in a pool in the ocean on the beach and relaxing.
I also find a lot of people head to shopping center's and movie theaters to keep cool in the air conditioning.

Most summer vacations in Queensland are usually spent at beaches, staying in resorts/units, camping and going to theme parks for example Wet n Wild and/or Dreamworld on the Gold Coast.

 My summer outfits I usually like wearing dresses, skirts, tops and shorts. Here are a few examples:

Here I'm wearing a "tiki" inspired halter wiggle dress.

Here I am wearing a pair of high waisted shorts and a white peasant top.

Here I am wearing a cute little top and skirt.

The positives in summer for me is wearing all my favorite summer type clothing and that means no cardigans, jumpers, tights and leggings (which i prefer not to wear, but I have no choice, in the winter months). Cold drinks and long, beautiful days.
The negatives are the hot humid days and even nights (when it's too hot to do anything), wild vicious storms and from time to time cyclones, biting mosquito's (if sitting outside in the evenings to try and cool down) and also annoying fly's.

Until next time!
