Seven Bridges Walk - Sydney - Sunday, 28th October

You can walk over one, two bridges or even all seven if you want. You don't need to go a bridge too far as the Seven Bridges Walk is not meant to be a race.

Register before the event to spare yourself hassle and hanging around.

Lane Cove Village Fare - Lane Cove - Sunday, 14th October

Sydney Rides (Again) Festival - Saturday, 13th October

Bourke Street, in the City of Sydney, will be transformed this Saturday by an army of bikes, bands and street performers. It is all in aid of the Sydney Rides festival which celebrates the rediscovery of the bike.

Just For Laughs at the Sydney Opera House - Friday, 12th October - Monday, 22nd October

Comedy is said to be the most underrated of all the art forms - but who are we kidding - some of the funniest people that have ever graced the Opera House stage will be taking part (just for a laugh) including Noel Fielding, Drew Carey, Rhys Darby and Adam Hills. The expensive tickets are just as laughable as the cheaper ones..

Breakfast on Bondi - Bondi Beach - Sunday, 14th October

If the weather is fine, and it's not too cold, you can enjoy a great breakfast with sand between your toes. There will be a full orchestra and soprano Lorina Gore, breaky of course and the buzz of the best orchestrated breakfast feast in town.

The Concord Carnival is a fairy tale of great food, wine, amusement rides, stage and roving entertainment, plus loads of magical activities for the kids.

Festival of Walking - Blue Mountains - Saturday, 6th October to Sunday, 14th October

If your boots are made for walking, then that's just what you should do in a World Heritage listed National Park. The Blue Mountains Festival of Walking has a long list of different walks to go on from forays into the wilderness to a heritage street stroll, ably assisted by a little local wine and cheese. Now that doesn't sound too bad does it. There is nothing to stop you from doing the serious bushwalk one day, followed by a more laid back day of eating, drinking and sightseeing.

Leura Village Fair

Leura will be hosting its Village Fair during the first two days of the festival so there's another reason to go. Life is an adventure, enjoy it at your own pace.

The Antenna International Documentary Film Festival returns after a successful first year with more docos than last year and this time it's made the Dendy Cinemas.

Sydney Children's Festival - Thursday, 27th September - Tuesday, 9th October

The Children's Festival comprises of a range children's theatre and workshops dotted around Sydney. It includes a few old favourites like the Gruffalo's Child at the Sydney Opera House and an interesting idea with the Spot on Family Fun Days which combine shows with "free indoor playground and activities" allowing the kids to burn up some energy. The workshops are designed to encourage creativity allowing the kids to make, draw, perform and have a lot of fun.

Festival of Dangerous Ideas - Friday, 28th September - Sunday, 30th September

Being, no doubt, uncomfortable at times, and inherently provocative, the Festival of Dangerous Ideas does require an open mind. Topics include 'The Devil Is Real' and 'The Joy of Sin' which are probably two of least provocative topics we could have chosen from a fairly long list.

A Blue Whale sighted off of the Sydney Coast

It's been a while, four years in fact, since the last Blue Whale was sighted off of the coast of Sydney. Be quick or you might miss out.

Sydney Sightseeing

March is coming to a close, soon the Easter School Holidays will be upon us and before you know it it will be winter and Sydney Harbour will freeze over.. Well probably not but who knows given the extremes of weather of late. The great big beautiful City of Sydney looks fabulous and you don't need an excuse to see its best bits.

ABBAWORLD extended to 26th June! Powerhouse Museum

Sing and dance your way through the ABBAWORLD exhibition using a series of fun interactives including performing on a stage with ABBA, dancing in an ABBA video, recording a sing-a-long with ABBA and photographing yourself on an ABBA album cover. Just think of all those songs that you won't be able to get out of your head..

River Rhythms ('n Blues), Newington Armory, Sydney Olympic Park - 1pm - 4pm, Sunday 3rd April

If the sky is clear, or even better, if it's not, get into some serious music at the park. Swinging dance music, rhythm 'n blues and blues gospel will get you ready for a night on the town or just nicely finish off a relaxed day out. This is a great way to while away a Sydney Sunday afternoon and it won't cost you a cent.

The Sydney Country Music Festival - 1st - 3rd April - Castle Hill

Castle Hill never sounded so good. If you love Country, and if you love music, you will love Castle Hill this weekend. There is nowhere else to be. Sorry Tamworth, Sydney is the Country Music Capital of Australia ...until it's your go again. Yee hah!

As ever, any comments, feedback or suggestions are extremely welcome. What ever you do, we hope you have a wonderful week and an awesome weekend.
