Summer in the city is a wonderful time to get out and explore the great outdoors.

We hope to provide you with some inspiration, whether your preference is hiking, camping or boating.

Plus with so many of us including our fur friends in the fun, we take a look at some of the best places to cool down with your dog.

It's not summer without some cold and refreshing beverages and our writers have tracked down the best places to whet your whistle.

If you fancy learning a little about what you are drinking, there are wine classes too.

Of course it's also the festive season, so we have delved a little into some ideas for what to serve up come Christmas.

There are plenty of gift ideas inside too.

Whatever you decide to do, we hope you enjoy your summer and holiday period. Until next time.

From the team at See Canberra.
