As the autumn heatwave grips Sydney, residents are seeking refuge from the scorching temperatures. Construction worker Ollie Fleetham, who has spent his last two St Patrick's Days in Sydney, is no exception. With the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop, he searches for ways to cool down, including quenching his thirst with water and enjoying a cold Guinness. As the heatwave continues, Sydneysiders are finding creative ways to stay cool, from outdoor activities to indoor escapes, and making the most of the city's amenities, including its popular bars and restaurants, to beat the heat and enjoy the city's vibrant atmosphere, with a focus on summer safety and heatwave relief.
