There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortable for 2.5 hours, so a relaxed outfit is always a good idea. Girls, opt for the Ava Playsuit from All About Eve teamed with flats, and boys, pick up some relaxed-fit pants with a hint of stretch to make sure you can get back out of your deck chair at the end!

4. German Christmas markets - Adelaide
We may not have white Christmases, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get into the festive spirit like the Northern Hemisphere. Nobody does a December market quite like Germany, so get a taste with Adelaide’s annual European Christmas market. Christkindlmarkt is even held in the German town of Hahndorf. Make like market regulars and take your straw bag and a backpack for the boys.
