5. Take a spa day. With temperatures rising in Melbourne it was the perfect opportunity for Melbourne Zoo's elephants to try out their new mud wallowing pool. As the temperatures topped 29 degrees celsius, the entire herd was busy turning themselves from grey to orange as they covered themselves in the clay mud that keepers have provided in recent weeks. Mud baths play a critical role for elephants as it not only cools them down, but also provides a protective layer from the sun's rays. (Rex Features)

6. Make time for a hobby. Birmingham-born artist Willard Wigan MBE has become world famous for his microscopic art and sculptures typically placed in the eye of a needle or on the head of a pin. Virtually invisible to the naked eye, Wigan's works are best viewed with the aid of a microscope. They are made from a range of materials, including tiny slivers of 24 carat gold, nylon fibres, microscopic strands of glue and even spiders' webs. The creation of these works requires him to enter a meditative state in which his heartbeat is slowed, allowing him to reduce hand tremors and sculpt between pulse beats. (Rex Features)

The path, known as the most dangerous footpath in the world, was closed after two fatal accidents in 1999 and 2000. The restoration started in 2011 and reportedly cost 5.5 million euros.
