After the kick-off, 1,915 daring individuals flung their towels into the air, courageously plunging into the 'refreshing' waters of the Derwent River amidst the freezing winter with a temperature of around 5 degrees Celsius (currently winter in Australia). This is part of the Dark Mofo winter festival celebrated locally and has been happening for 7 years.
In Australia, strictly regulated nude swimming festivals add a unique touch to the Australian tourism industry.
If you happen to travel to Australia during winter, you can also participate in the Thredbo Blues Festival. It's an event for those who appreciate smooth blues music. During this occasion, both local and international artists converge to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere and indulge in the enchanting blues melodies. Additionally, there's the Vivid Light Festival in Sydney.
This festival spans three weeks, taking place from late May to early June at Sydney's most iconic locations, such as the Opera House, Darling Harbour, Central Park, and the Harbour Bridge.
Ranked as Australia's most captivating festival, it enthralls tourists with dazzling light displays using state-of-the-art digital technology set to lively music. Drawing inspiration from the world's top talented artists and featuring over 60 interactive light installations, the Vivid Sydney Light Festival promises an exciting experience for visitors to Australia.
