Welcome to the 'Wake Up Sydney' podcast, where your host, Johnny Rocket, is delivering an electric, final-day-of-the-year update on what's happening around Sydney! Stay informed on the 31st of December 2023 with the last slice of local news before the new year rings in.
In this episode, we're talking temperatures and potential rainfall across the city: the Sydney CBD is feeling a cool caress of 18.2°C, while Parramatta is not far behind at 17.7°C, both awaiting some showers. For the beach buffs, it’s a modest 19.9°C at Bondi Beach — perfect for some cloudy but pleasant seaside lounging, though an umbrella might be a smart accessory for the sporadic showers.
Good news for commuters: it’s smooth sailing on Sydney’s roads today, with zero traffic incidents to hinder your New Year's Eve preparations. And it’s great news for sports fans too! Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy brisk train services every 10 minutes to the United Cup at Sydney Olympic Park, soccer fans have seamless access to A-League matches in Gosford, and basketball followers can effortlessly make their way to the NBL game in Wollongong, with an easy walk from Wollongong Station to the action.
Don’t forget: with New Year's Eve right around the corner, the train schedules are morphing to accommodate the festivities—almost a full 24 hours of service to ensure you can celebrate without worry! Pay special attention to changes at Circular Quay and Milsons Point stations, and remember to harness the power of the Trip Planner or Opal app to seamlessly navigate your excursions.
Johnny wraps up this energetic episode by infusing a reminder of the thrills that come with calling Sydney home. As we wave goodbye to the last day of 2023, he revs up listeners to step into the New Year with gusto. Stay tuned for another zestful beginning to your day—tomorrow on 'Wake Up Sydney'!
