Feast Of Flavours

At the Kids’ Zone a range of free activities will feature, including a jumping castle, face painting, free pinball machines and a petting zoo.

Homeground

This weekend, something very special returns to Bennelong Point around the Opera House in Sydney.
The Opera House was built on land that belonged to the Eora and Gadigal people as a gathering place to sing and dance. So this Saturday and Sunday, Sydney celebrates the best Indigenous artists of Australia!
From 2pm to 10.30 pm there will be arts markets, food provided by Australia's most acclaimed and only hatted Indigenous chef, music by First Nation's artists, plus workshops and a live dance competition!

Come to the Opera House when this homeground will be filled with First Nation's spirit again!

PuzzleTrails - Self-Guided Mystery Themed Walks in Sydney

The good weather is coming to Sydney and if you want to make the most of it, here's a good way to spend the sunny days outside with your kids- with Puzzle Trails.
These are downloadable puzzles about history, murder and hi-tech crime. They will lead you on self-guided walking trails around well-known spots in the city such as the Royal Botanic Gardens or The Rocks.

Together you will look for clues along the trail that will help solve the mystery and also have fun exploring the local attractions and parks.
