What To Do In Sydney Over Easter |
The Big Cheese: The Royal Easter Show
We're talkin' the granddaddy of them all. Rides that'll make your stomach do the splits, enough dagwood dogs to feed a small country, and sheep shearing that puts your morning shave to shame. This iconic event is a must for anyone who wants a taste of true blue Aussie culture (and a belly full of fairy floss).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Not-So-Hidden Gems: Beyond the Showgrounds
Sure, the Easter Show is legendary, but Sydney's got a basketful of other tricks up its sleeve.
Harbourlicious: Set sail on a ferry for a day of exploring. Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge (if you're feeling brave), get up close to the cute and cuddly critters at Taronga Zoo, or wander the cobbled streets of The Rocks for a history fix.
Hit the Beach, Bruce!: Sydney boasts some of the world's most iconic beaches. Bondi's for the surfers and scene-stealers, Manly's for a laid-back vibe and epic fish and chips, and Bronte offers a chilled atmosphere and rock pools for the kiddos.
Artsy Fartsy: If museums and galleries are your jam, Sydney's got you covered. The Art Gallery of NSW is a must-see for its collection of Aussie and international masterpieces, while the Powerhouse Museum will have you marvelling at everything from vintage cars to fashion exhibits.
Chocolate Coma Calling: The Hunt for the Perfect Hot Cross Bun
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
