Welcome to the Wake Up Sydney podcast! In this episode, your host Johnny Rocket kicks off your Saturday morning, June 28, 2025, with a lively update on Sydney's weather, traffic, and trains.
Get ready for a proper winter morning in the city! While the thermometer reads 8.3 degrees, it feels like a crisp 3.6 degrees outside. But don't fret, as you can look forward to mostly sunny skies and a warm-up to 18 degrees by midday. Over in Parramatta, it's notably chillier, but Bondi Beach promises bright and beautiful conditions, tempting even the bravest swimmers to dive in.
On the traffic front, take note: a pedestrian hazard has resulted in the closure of the westbound lanes on Hoxton Park Road near Ash Road in Cartwright. Detours are advised. For those relying on trains, we have good news—all lines are running smoothly, making it a rare treat for commuters.
Your Saturday in Sydney promises to be packed with events! Don’t miss Ball Park Music's indie rock performance at the State Theatre, or perhaps you’ll embark on the mysterious early morning "Waves of Sydney" date night adventure. And if you're looking to add a splash of excitement, it's whale-watching season, with tours departing from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour—perfect timing for a memorable weekend outing.
Johnny wraps up by celebrating the unique charm of Sydney, encouraging listeners to embrace their Saturday with good coffee and good times. Join us for an exciting day ahead in this beautiful city!
