Ice skating at the beach?

by Ian Lloyd Neubauer

When it comes to beach sports, ice-skating is one of the last things that comes to mind.

But that?s exactly what you can expect to see at Sydney?s world-famous Bondi Beach from now until July 15 as part of the annual winter festival.

Now in its fourth year, entry to the festival is free and, aside from the skating, there?s a seasonally appropriate range of food and drink options to choose from.

For starters, there?s the Alpine Hut -- an apr�s-ski-themed bar with an open fireplace and sofas -- which serves European winter cuisine, schnapps and mulled wine. There?s also live music on the weekends.

At the slightly-less-fancy Chai Tent, festivalgoers can drink free chai latte while sitting in front of a picture of a fireplace, or they can gorge themselves on German sausages, doughnuts and pizza at the fast-food stalls outside.
