Where To Beat The Heat in Australia This Summer
This summer is tipped to be a brutally hot one in Australia, and climate researchers from the Australian National University believe it’s only going to get worse with studies indicating Melbourne and Sydney could experience temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius by 2100. While it won’t get quite that hot this summer, Australia is still predicted to fry through the next few months, and so Culture Trip has prepared a list of places where you can keep cool and escape the heat.
Queensland
No trip to the Gold Coast in Queensland is complete without visiting the theme parks, and in summer there are two in particular that you need to make a bee-line for. The first is Wet’n’Wild which has been soaking crowds since 1984. Located next to Movie World, the park features 17 water slides including the Tornado, Kamikaze and gravity-defying AquaLoop. The Gold Coast is also home to WhiteWater World where you can drift across the tide at Cave of Waves, plummet down The Wedgie and splashdown The Green Room.
