The Sydney Metro changes how you experience Sydney

The Sydney Metro changes how you experience Sydney

With the opening of the Sydney Metro, I’m setting out to visit each of the new stations, see the artworks and discover how the Sydney Metro will change the way I travel in Sydney. As I live north of the…

The Rocks Aboriginal Dreaming Tour

The Rocks Aboriginal Dreaming Tour

I easily spot our tour guide for The Rocks Aboriginal Dreaming Tour. Wearing a black jacket, the sleeves decorated with yellow dots and spirals, she’s standing under a tree chatting to guests. Donia “as in the last part of Caledonia,”…

Burrawa Bridge Climb Indigenous or Aboriginal led climb of Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sydney's Chinatown Tour

Taking a Tour of Sydney’s Chinatown

Sydney’s Chinatown. It’s bustling, exciting and just a little intimidating. I’ve walked through Dixon Street, the main thoroughfare a few times. Apart from Yum Cha years ago, I haven’t eaten there. The number of small food outlets offering a huge…

Discovering Sydney’s Small Bars

Discovering Sydney’s Small Bars

Discovering Sydney’s small bars is a different way to explore hidden Sydney. Over the years, I’ve got to know Sydney’s laneways and their public artworks. More recently, I’ve discovered some of Sydney’s small bars. Many are hidden. They’re down cobbled…
