World Wetlands Day
Walk - Education Centre in Bicentennial Park, Sydney Olympic Park - Saturday,
4th February 2012 - 10:00am - 11:00am
Given the weather
we have been 'enjoying', a walk in the wetlands seems like an appropriate
thing to do. Go for this guided tour for an educational and enjoyable
experience in the wet-lands. Bookings are required as is a phone call
02 9647 1033 or email southernnsw@birdlife.org.au
Sydney Mardi Gras - Sunday, 12th February - Sunday, 4th March
Happy Mardi Gras
all round as the Sydney Mardi Gras makes it's slightly subdued start to
it's calendar of events. Sit in the park and catch up, meet, plan for
headier days and nights ahead or just watch as the "largest parade
and celebration of its kind in the world" gets off the grass.
Sydney Royal Wine
Show, Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park - Saturday, 18th February,
11am-4pm
'Drink in Moderation'
I believe is the slogan but it might prove to be challenge with the "opportunity
to experience over 2,000 new and established Australian wine styles from
across the country. Head to the Southee Pavilion at Sydney Showground
to learn from [the] expert judges and be one of the first to taste the
Macquarie Group Sydney Royal Wine Show medal and trophy winners at the
Sydney Royal Cellar Tasting."
Twilight at Taronga Zoo - Saturday, 28th January - Saturday, 31st March
The Twilight concerts
at Taronga Zoo continue to be a roaring success. This year the big names
include The Church, Bjorn Again, Richard Clapton and Wendy Mathews. There
will also be tributes to Queen and Michael Jackson.
If you arrive a little
early you will be rewarded with free entry into the Zoo (that's from 3pm
the same day). Head for the Elephant enclosure at 6pm for the concert
lawn opens up for picnics. The actual concert starts around 7:30pm and
is scheduled to finish at 9-30pm (with a break in between).
Annie the Musical
- Lyric Theatre, Star City - Friday, 5th January - Sunday, 4th March
Starring Alan Jones
no less! No, no sorry - I mean Anthony Warlow - but Alan is in it. Little
orphan Annie is just a great musical filled with great songs like "Tomorrow,
Tomorrow, we love you, Tomorrow, your always a day away" and many
more but that's the song you walk out with in your head.
The Australian Museum
 Am
I for real?
The Australian Museum
has a couple of interesting exhibitions on at the moment. The Wildlife
Photographer of the Year, with some amazing and cute animal photographs
and the 'Yiwarra Kuju -The Canning Stock Route' containing almost 100
contemporary Aboriginal paintings and traditional stories. The Wildlife
photography ends mid March whilst 'Yiwarra Kuju' expires 29th April.
Nuclear Matters
A highly interactive
exhibition exploring the complex world of nuclear science, medicine and
nuclear power. With the recent events in Japan this exhibit is well worth
considering.
Manly What's On
More than 5 million
visitors come to Manly each year to enjoy a wide range of events and entertainment
attractions. Manly is not only home to one of the finest Pacific Ocean
beaches in the world, but also many romantic restaurants, waterside cafés,
specialty stores and annual entertainment events.
The two major events
are the Manly Jazz Festival and the Manly Food and Wine Festival, but
there are many other events listed in the Manly Council 2011 Events Calendar
which will keep you coming back to Manly again and again.
Beast or Beauty of Barangaroo?
 What
Barangaroo will look like in 4 years time(?)
Not an event as such
but in the Tele and SMH so worth a mention. Not everybody loves the idea
of the development but you can walk and jog where no one could easily
walk / jog before so we listed the "Barangaroo Walk". It is
only at the bottom of the pile as it's not finished yet. Let us know what
you think of Barangaroo. Good, bad or just plain ugly. Maybe we shouldn't
list it at all..
Skip, Skip, Skip
to Woolloomooloo
But you could just
walk, all the way from Barangaroo in fact, or drive and when you get there,
swim it. The local water-hole, The Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool, has had
a bit of a refit. Beyond that, Woolloomooloo is an interesting place with
a mix of new, old and rich. From Finger Wharf, the hang out of celebs
and the well-heeled, to the local pubs and public housing estates. Well
worth a stroll, a swim, cappuccino or even lunch with a spot of people
watching.
