I just love Sydney in Autumn – warm days and cooler nights, before we get to complain about winter. Hope you’ve all had your flu shots.
There are any number of exciting things going on to take advantage of the hopefully fine weather.
Looking forward to seeing you at the SSH Harbour Cruise and Picnic, voyaging on the Tribal Warrior’s Mari Nawi around the harbour, ending in a picnic on Clarke Island on Saturday May 18 from 11am-3pm. Booking is essential on bookings@ssh.com.au. This should be a really fun day out for all the family, while supporting the SSH for another year. The day is alcohol-free, and you need to BYO soft drinks, cups, blankets and anything else you need. Cost is $80/$60, children are free. Delicious lunch provided and music by the very talented Marcus Corowa!
Vivid Sydney comes around again this year from May 24 to June 10 – with various light shows around the City. Each year seems to be more spectacular, especially around the Opera House and Circular Quay. Hours are from 6pm until midnight.
Also a well-attended annual event for Autumn, Sydney Writers Festival is held at Pier 2, Walsh Bay from May 20-26. Some events are free.
If you haven’t had a chance to go to the White Rabbit Gallery at 30 Balfour Street, Chippendale, Smash Palace – Chinese Contemporary Art could just spark your interest. Running from March 1 to August 4, 10am-6pm (closed Tuesdays). There is also a Teahouse, which as well as serving many types of tea, has freshly made dumplings from 10.30am-4pm!
