"Opened in 1816, the Royal Botanic Gardens is one of the oldest and most beautiful botanic gardens in the city.

The garden is also the oldest remaining scientific establishment in the country and provides a space for important botanical research and breeding."

"Featuring native and international plant species, the Royal Botanic Garden is a lush, green paradise. Whether you wish to examine the various exotic flowers or are looking for the perfect spot to picnic, the gardens are a favorite spot for visitors as well as locals. Opt for a free, guided walk and learn how the space served as the initiation ground for the Gadigal people."

"Sydney Tower Westfields, is one of the Sydney CBD’s main shopping locations. The centre, located on the corner of the Pitt Street Mall and Market Street, consists of six floors with some 280 fashion, food and lifestyle outlets.

"Clovelly is different from typical Sydney beaches, because one of its main appeals is not the light tan sand luring its visitors close, but rather the large promenades on either side of the water that you can sunbathe on. It’s intimate, small and you can easily spend a few hours rotating from the sun to the sea, especially since there is so much sunbathing real estate right by the water. Pack a snorkel too, the cove is known for hosting all types of sea life like gropers, octopodes, rays and more."

"For snorkellers looking to explore a vibrant and lively underwater world, make your way to Clovelly Beach. This tranquil stretch of the bay is home to a host of marine life such as octopus, rays and a Blue Groper that the locals have affectionately nicknamed ‘Bluey’. Back on dry land, large smooth rocks and concrete promenades provide a place for sunbathers to soak up to the sun."

"Clovelly Beach is another amazing snorkelling spot right in Sydney. The long, sheltered bay makes this spot perfect for exploring the underwater life, or just swimming a few laps in the ocean in the morning. Watch out for Bluey, the famous resident Blue Groper…."

"Located in St. Peters, bordered by Alexandria and Erskineville, Sydney Park is a 40ha large recreational area characterised by open recreation spaces, rolling hills, wetlands and historic chimneys. What you may not know is that Sydney Park used to be a large landfill and an industrial brick making site, and as such the park is actually declared a contaminated site. But don’t let that deter you, because the park is considered safe."

"Sydney Park offers 40-hectares of greenery a stone’s throw from the city centre. The main drawcard for kids is the adventure playground that will occupy them for hours. There’s also a large sand pit."

"Riley Street Garage may be tucked behind the Domain, but the vibe is most certainly sophisticated New York bistro. The industrial fit-out transports you straight to NYC’s Meatpacking District, as does chef Regan Porteous’ contemporary menu that spans steaks, platters of natural and truffle-soy dressed oysters, ‘fish and chip tartare’ with miso dressing, crispy pork knuckle with pickled apple, smoked lamb shoulder with gremolata, and green pea risotto. Beers, wines and cocktails fly out of the central curved bar, where the party can continue with a postprandial ‘garage ‘groni’."

"You can conveniently find this top-notch French restaurant in the heart of downtown Sydney. While you enjoy their mouth-watering meals, you will get to unwind to live jazz music. They also have a fully stocked up international wine cellar."

"Bistro Rex prides itself in offering the best of France here in Sydney. The interior is a reinvention of a classic Parisian bistro and this is reflected in the amazing menu on offer here.
