121 Fox Studios - Moore Park
Get yourself a cold drink at the Fox and Lion near the Hordon Pavilion
at Fox Studios and try to work out who and what is going on the
other side of the plaza. If you find out let me know (unless it
is something to do with Australian Idol). Fox Studios is all fairly
glitzy and superficial so the kids will probably love it. One attraction
that looks like fun is the cross between trampolining and bungee
- seems to be for aimed at kids but don't let that stop you. Close
to the Sydney Football Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground so it's
a good place to go before/after a match/tour.

122 Brighton le Sands - Botany Bay
Brighton le Sands is famous for being close to the airport. Captain
Cook also came by this way but it probably took him longer than
you (unless you upset customs of course). If you're not bothered
about the history you can grab a long black by the short Brighton
Le Sands / Botany Bay beach on the way home. Sit and watch the planes
take off from a respectable distance and plan your return. |
123 Hunters Hill / Woolwich
Drive or bus through Hunters Hill towards Woolwich and admire the
buildings along the way - just how do you get that rich(?).
Stroll first towards Woolwich Dock and then across to Clarke’s
Point, one of the more extensive grassy slopes on Sydney Harbour,
taking in the view.
A walk up to Kelly’s Bush Reserve is also worthwhile.
Hunters Hill / Woolwich is a relatively tourist free area currently
under redevelopment so forgive any fences that may remain and the
decay of Woolwich Dock.

124 Cook and Phillip Park Swimming Complex
Hidden beneath Hyde Park southern section towards Oxford Street
in Sydney’s heartland lies the Cook and Phillip underworld
as mysterious as pickled onions or David Beckham. Cook and Phillip
Park is a modern and interesting (the art work) swimming complex
complete with fitness area. If you are staying in the middle of
town or work there an early morning dip beckons.

125 (89) Top Gun Flights
Top Gun Flights for the experience of a life time - just how many
of those would you like?
Top Gun Flights
A 'top gun' experience adventure flight in the front seat of a
military fighter jet. Experience the full range of aerobatics and
tactical manoeuvres. High Speed and G-force get the adrenalin pumping.
This is an experience of a lifetime few others have experienced.
|
126 Newtown
For an alternative view of Sydney.
If there's a festival in Newtown it’s well worth the visit.
Failing that, find an interesting looking play, a nice veggie café
and, if its like you - be bohemian.

127 Queen Victoria Building (QVB)
The QVB is a lovely old building converted into a multi level shopping
mall. The QVB also functions as part of a well traveled pedestrian
thoroughfare between Town Hall Train Station on the south side of
George Street to the heart of Pitt Street Mall. On your way have
a look at the clock on the top floor of the QVB particularly on
the hour. Rumoured that the prices go up in the QVB as you do.
The Strand Arcade
It has been suggest we add the Strand Arcade to the list:
I would like to see The Strand added to your "100 things
to do in Sydney" It isn't as large as the QVB, but has a much
more interesting array of Australian designers, and the building
itself is charming. An excellent tour is run on some saturday mornings
(Im not sure of details, but it is probably on the strand website.
thanks Victoria, if you have any suggestions or comments please
let Sydney know comments@sydney100.com
The Strand Arcade runs between Pitt Street Mall and George Street.

128 Sydney Town Hall
Sydney Town Hall is worth a quick look if close by as much public
money was spent poshing it up.
|
129 Marble Bar - Hilton Hotel
An attractive bar is the Marble Bar. Bands cater for an ‘older’
clientele (as in a mostly unpierced) The Marble Bar is situated
in the bowels of the Hilton Hotel in Pitt Street in the city. |
130 Penrith
Visit Panthers at Penrith (on the way to the Blue Mountains) for
man made white-water for rafting and other fun water things.
