Canberra has an extensive network of designated bike lanes on both main and secondary roads. Outside the city, mountain bikers can explore the trails through the forests and pines. On firmer ground, road cyclists can navigate between bike-friendly cafes and bakeries in the Australian Capital Territory. The easiest way to get a bike in Canberra is by signing up for the Share A Bike bike-sharing scheme. They have automated bike rental machines around the city centre. For longer rides, consider companies like Cycle Canberra that will deliver your new two-wheeled mate right to your hotel. Of course, you always have the option of joining a guided bike tour, too.

Start your day in a unique way by catching an unforgettable sunrise atop Mount Batur. A local guide leads you up in the early hours, just in time to see the sun rise over Bali’s volcanic landscape. At the summit, enjoy a breakfast featuring eggs steamed by the volcano’s natural heat.

Down on Bali’s southern tip, Uluwatu serves up dramatic cliffs, legendary surf breaks, and some of the island’s best beaches. It’s calmer than Seminyak or Canggu—more about sunsets, sea views, and boutique stays. The Uluwatu Temple is the big draw here, perched on a cliff edge with nightly Kecak dance shows at sunset.

Lees-McRae College is a multifaceted association which also provides summer entertainment activities. Enjoy eight programs spanning symphony, vocalists, big band groups, pianists and dancers from June through August.
