What are the customs of Christmas in Australia
1. Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Santa
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the protagonist of Australian landscape postcards and the pride of Australians. It has always been on the “experience wish list” of many people. Every Christmas, Santa appears on the Harbour Bridge as a special guest. Climbing enthusiasts can take the most special postcard photo with Santa on top of the bridge as a Christmas greeting card.
2. Put on your beach shorts, bikini and Santa hat to Bondi Beach
Christmas is a busy day for Bondi Beach. As Australia’s most famous beach, on Christmas Day, Bondi Beach is full of swimmers, surfers, local families who come to party and backpackers from all over the world to celebrate Christmas here. Everyone wears beach shorts, bikinis, and Christmas hats. Celebrating Christmas on the golden beach is a unique Australian landscape.
3. Santa Claus Fun Run
In the “Santa’s Fun Run”, you can see all kinds of charitable and thrill-seeking contestants wearing various Santa suits to participate in the competition. Contestants, mostly by tradition, endured the suffocating beards and sponge-filled bellies of the holy suits.
Shorts often replace trousers, bringing a touch of coolness to the contestants in the hot summer. Competitors run from different Australian cities to raise money to help sick and underprivileged children.
