Justice & Police Museum
Starting as a colony for convicts, Sydney’s first residents were quite colorful.
Journey back in time at this unusual museum for a real-life story of cops and robbers.
Brett Whiteley Studio
When renowned Australian artist Brett Whiteley died of a drug overdose in 1992,
his wife turned his studio into a memorial, leaving everything just the way it was.
Here, you can get inside the mind of this notorious artist as you stand in his workspace
and bedroom.
Clovelly Beach
While the masses head to Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach, make a beeline to serene Clovelly
Beach. Its calm waters are perfect for snorkeling or swimming laps. Waverley Cemetery,
where poet Henry Lawson is buried, is also nearby.
Barefoot Bowling
Once considered a sport for Australia’s elderly, lawn bowling has made a comeback.
Grab a beer, kick off your shoes, and join the trend at Paddington Bowling Club
for this quirky pastime.
Café Sydney
Located on the rooftop of Customs House at Circular Quay, this restaurant offers
the ultimate Sydney experience. Mod Oz cuisine, spectacular harbor views, a cigar
bar, and a cocktail lounge are all on the menu here.
Bondi Icebergs
While some choose to swim in this famous pool year round, we recommend having a
beer in the nearby clubhouse or a fine meal in its renowned restaurant while admiring
the views of Bondi Beach. Although primarily a club for its year-round swimmers,
guests are warmly welcomed.

café. It’s open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, and serves delightful Spanish
treats.

is the place. Kangaroo oven mitts and Opera House shot glasses abound. Note: Paddy's
Market is not open on Monday's and Tuesday's.
