Easter Sydney

Things (What) to do over the Easter Holidays in and around Sydney

What to do over Easter in Sydney?

The Easter Holidays bring with them a challenge. Go or stay in Sydney. After being credit crunched and a little recessed we were then bashed by rising interest rates, we could be forgiven for just wanting to stay in bed. If Mr Stevens (Reserve Bank) would kindly leave us alone for a little while maybe we can enjoy ourselves a bit..(please?)

If you really aren’t that keen on joining the painfully slow migration of out of Sydney, there is an alternative. By Good Friday Morning there should be a little more room in Sydney.
