Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, on a fine winter morning with good surf, two surfers just walking out into the waves.

Winter is lovely. Marshmallows and hot chocolate. Netflix and snuggles. Furs and fires. Coats -- oh, the coats.

But summer is coming, and summer wins.

Aside from the inevitable post-winter leg shaving fiasco that will have lazy girls everywhere (or is it just me?) crying out #effyourbeautystandards, summer is just one big sandy, sweaty, salty, ice-cream-y ball of bliss.

Because looking at photos of beaches and bikinis is everyone’s idea of fun, we’ve rounded up the best pics of our beautiful country this week. Thanks Insty.
