Until 22nd October.
Day out at Olympic Park
If you haven't visited the main site where Australia's Olympics were held, make a trip out and enjoy the wildlife, wetlands and parks. A popular site where you can ride bikes, play some ball games and have a bbq, Olympic park is accessible by public transport (if catching a train, take the Western line to Lidcome and then switch for Olympic Park station).
Inspired Floral artwork
Lovers of art should not miss the many floral representations of famous artworks such as Vincent van Gough, Henri Matisse and Aboriginal artist Brownyn Bancroft. Displayed in many sites around the city, a few key floral displays are at Martin Place, Queens Square, Queen Victoria Building and Crown Street Surry Hills (near Shannon Reserve). So if you stroll by, take a moment to appreciate the beauty!
