Summer with the Australian Women's Weekly

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

With summer just around the corner, The Australian Women's Weekly and Channel 9 are joining forces to make your holiday season the best ever.

Hosted by the beautiful Natalie Gruzlewski and starring a range of celebrity guests, the first of our two TV specials Summer with the Australian Women's Weekly will air on Sunday, November 25 at 6.30pm.

Julie Goodwin and House Husbands star Gyton Grantley combine to make their favourite delicious summer salads, while Jamie Durie shows you how to make the perfect DIY outdoor setting.

Jesinta Campbell runs through summer's hottest fashions, Jackie French makes a fun and functional scarecrow for your backyard and Brad and Lara from The Block 2012 take on a new challenge — and this time they're competing against each other.

The Today show's Karl Stefanovic, Richard Wilkins, Georgie Gardner and Cameron Williams join in an alfresco feast that will tempt the tastebuds, and viewers will be treated to an acoustic performance on the beach by Timomatic.

The second part in the amazing series, Christmas with the Australian Women's Weekly, will air on Sunday, December 9, at 6.30pm, and stars Maggie Beer, Julia Morris, Jaynie Seal, Luke Mangan, Giaan Rooney, Jamie Durie and Jessica Mauboy.
