Top 10 Things to do in Surry Hills, New South Wales

February 21, 2022 Hector Krause

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.

Brett Whiteley Studio

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.

We are Sydney's only specialist craft beer and microbrewery tour operator. We are all about getting you closer to your beer and those who brew for you. Our philosophy is simple - collaboration. We love bringing people together. We bring together people wanting to taste and experience the craftsmanship of our local producers. In doing so, we are supporting the passions and dreams of those who are bringing to market some of the finest beer available. We want to bring people closer to the toil and strife of what it takes to produce fine craft beer. To us, it's more than the art and science of brewing or the mechanics of a microbrewery, it's the stories, the legends, the scars of effort and devotion to doing something different. It's about connecting people who are passionate about what they consume with those who are equally as passionate about what they produce. We promise that you will have a great day out, meet some interesting people and taste some amazing locally produced beers along the way. We will get you to here and there and home again, far richer in knowing that little bit more of the micro-miracles happening around us. What could be better than that?

Reviewed By 708sophiad

Amazing studio with an amazing vibe and teachers! Highly recommend. My favourite is the Surry Hills studio for location, but Bondi is amazing for a morning class followed by a swim at the beach. Gotta love Redfern for the acro yoga option, and Potts Point is where it all started for me as I lived there when they just opened up that studio (less hectic, more zen).
