For those of us who associate cold weather and dark nights with the sweet anticipation of Christmas drawing near, winter in Sydney in July can be confusing.
While July and August are summer in Europe, it can get pretty cold in Sydney and southern parts of Australia. Christmas in July used to seem like a bizarre concept to me, but now it’s making more sense…
Walking up the stairs in my Sydney house-sit, some old copies of Conde Nast Traveller in a stack of magazines caught my eye.
A copy of Conde Nast had prompted my move to Melbourne, Australia almost exactly 3 years ago. For some reason I had a feeling that very edition would be in the pile. I scanned the dates.
Mel is an amazing, fun free spirit from New York who I met when I lived at Bondi beach. I was amazed at her drive and achievements at such a young age.

Here’s a collection of the best bits of Vivid Sydney 2016 as seen by me.
