The 10 Best Things to do in Inner West, New South Wales
Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

Sydney’s best kept secret The Brett Whiteley Studio was the workplace and home of Australian artist, Brett Whiteley (1939–92). The artist bought the former warehouse in 1985 and converted it into a studio and exhibition space. He lived there from 1987 to 1992, the year he died in Thirroul. The visitor is offered the unique opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the space – the studio with his unfinished paintings, art equipment and collections of reference books, and the graffiti wall covered with quotes and images. The living area has memorabilia such as photographs, objects, postcards, furniture, his music collection and sketchbooks. The gallery has changing exhibitions of the artist’s works: paintings, drawings, sculpture and graphics borrowed from the Brett Whiteley Studio Collection, Art Gallery of New South Wales and private collections. There is a small gallery shop with postcards, posters and other merchandise for sale. There is no cafe at the Studio, however visitor

This smaller Sydney gallery space never disappoints. It showcases works by the artist, whose diverse materials and techniques include painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and printmaking. The upstairs studio space has been preserved, so visitors can get a sense of some of Whitely's passions and influences as well as his studio set-up and practice. Exhibitions change yearly, sometimes more frequently, and are curated around the artist's major preoccupations and themes. Currently, Whiteley's love of his home and its setting in Sydney's Lavender Bay with its views across the harbour and lush maritime environment are on display. For people with an interest in art, Whitely's Studio is an absolute gem and a must.

Every time we visit Sydney we include a visit to White Rabbit as they change their exhibition twice a year and the collection of Chinese contemporary art is just superb.

This is a mildly amusing German farce adapted by Steve Martin. The acting was excellent, and the theatre space intimate.

Woolloomoolo Wharf NSW. Really nice spot and buzzing with activity at the various restaurants on the wharf and surrounding area. Thank goodness the Wharf was saved from demolition many years ago by local activists, thank you. The wharf includes the Ovolo Hotel, restaurants such as China Doll, Ottos, & Crinitis, a display of artistic sculptures, as well as an area of apartments. There is the Naval Base with towering vessels, and The Domain to walk through along Sydney’s iconic harbour. You can walk from the wharf via Lady Macquarie’s Bush Track along the harbour, through the Domain to the Opera House and Circular Quay. I came across a meeting of Soar & Roar car enthusiasts with very impressive cars. #WoolloomooloWharf #WoolloomooloWharfNSW #OvoloWoolloomoolo #TheDomain #SoarandRoar

Very easy to navigate the station as well as the timetables for all the trains. Worth organising an Opal card before you arrive just to save some time.
