Dust off your spandangled Blades of Glory onesie. Get set for GBH girl-style. Puff out your cheeks in glee. Oh, and start munching on donuts, because your bum's going to need some cushioning. For the first time in 50 years Sydney is playing host to a real outdoor ice rink, on which you can practise your triple-axel-double-toe-loop-glimmer-glimmer trick in the open air! Bliss!

Sounds cooler than a Slushie, but if that's not enough, there's also a kinky sounding ‘ski simulator' and a chance to ‘try out traditional Northern Hemisphere winter customs' (Schnapps-soaked roll in the pine needles, anyone?).

Macquarie Ice Rink, oh paltry indoor imitator of our childhoods, you can eat our dry ice.
