Sizzling Sydney Summer...or not

Just imagine an international traveler, eagerly flicking through a Sydney travel guide before embarking on the summer holiday of a lifetime. Now imagine that anticipation brewing for amazing long days of sunshine, ice cream on Bondi Beach, blue skies for days, cold beers with barbecued dinners, surf lessons with beach babes, coastal drives and summery city night life. Or Not.

I don't know what is going on, but this is not a Sydney Summer. I am wearing a hoodie, in place of a sun dress, and my seasonal body clock is confused. Considering it's Friday, I was hoping to post something colourful and inspiring, you know because it's summer and all! Instead, I'm going to make a list of delicious foodie things to do during an unexpected wintery January in Sydney. So folks, dress down and get comfy - this list is definitely for the hoodies and sneakers... and I really hope this helps that poor international traveler too... Sorry mate.
