Gifts for Dad, and things to do with Dad, on Father's Day In Sydney

What to do on Father's Day in Sydney?

4th September is Father's Day!

Take Dad to a game

Take Dad to a game of Rugby League, AFL or Rugby Union. Get Dad away from the telly and out in amongst his fellow Dads to watch a game of footie. The finals are almost here, passions are running high - give your Dad something to yell at. Just type your Dad's favourite team in the search box and grab some tickets:

Take Dad down to a Farm

Car displays, a steam engine display and a licensed bar. So that should take care of Dad. There is more including craft stalls. You will need to book to get the buffet lunch. Book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Take Dad to see his dream car

The annual Muscle Car Masters is on at Sydney's Eastern Creek International Raceway on Father's Day. Muscle Car Masters is retro-charged with racing from heritage cars from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

We are talking Jaguar, Lotus, Ford Mustang, Monaro, Camaro, Valiant Charger, Torana XU1, Torana L34 and A9X, plus a host of Falcon GTs, Mazda, BMW and Volvos, Hi-tech Nissan Skyline and Nissan GTR with newer Commodore and Falcon models turning out in large numbers. There will be cars that competed last century in the Australian Touring Car Championship and the Bathurst 1000. Some of these cars still look and sound exactly as they did back in their heyday.

Touring car legend Glenn Seton is once again expected to be attend:

"The memories I have as a child are of Geoghegan, Brock, Moffat and Mustangs, Toranas and Falcons - where touring car racing began.

"I'm also proud that my Dad, Barry, won the 1965 Bathurst 1000," Seton said.

"I often feel that we have lost the 'sport' in motorsport in the modern era with it becoming more commercialised. Muscle Car Masters showcases how it used to be, when race cars had poor brakes and slid sideways through corners. That's very appealing to me, and obviously to the punters too."

In addition to the races, a number of hot lap display sessions will be conducted for genuine race cars that are too precious to race. Treasures in this category include Dick Johnson's 1981 Bathurst-winning Falcon, Peter Brock's 87 Bathurst Commodore, Bob Jane's Chev Camaro and an F5000 car that Frank Matich drove to win the 1971 Australian Grand Prix.

Although not part of Australian motorsport history, two Le Mans-winning Porsches will also join the hot lap sessions. The 1979 and 1987 Le Mans winners are amongst the most valuable Porsches in the world.

Off track, Dads can yarn with legends including Allan Moffat, Bob Jane, Bob Morris, Leo Geoghegan, Harry Firth, John Harvey, Colin Bond, Allan Grice, John Goss, Kevin Bartlett, Fred Gibson, John French, Jim and Steve Richards, John Bowe, Glenn Seton, Murray Carter, Frank Matich, Phil Brock, Robbie Francevic, Des West, Tony Edmondson, Brian Foley, Garth Wigston, Peter McLeod, Garry Rogers, Charlie O'Brien, Andrew Miedecke, Bryan Thomson, Don Holland, Bob Holden, John Leffler, Graham Moore, Trevor Ashby, John Cotter and John Smith.

Tickets: Adults $40, Concession $25, Children (12 and under) free

Take your Dad out for breakfast - kinda :)

How does a Champaign Breakfast sound? Not bad? What about a little Balloon ride before then? Tell your Dad you are taking him out for a breakfast and then watch him float off into the distance. It will be a Father's Day surprise he will never forget.

Take your Dad out on a Sydney Harbour Cruise
