Had never been able to grasp the simpler concepts of the blending of ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed and was using my camera on Auto...now, following the expert guidance of Darren (Course Intructor), I’m using my camera on full manual, taking great pics. Excellent course, highly recommended

Leichhardt Oval

Reviewed By fatbear2000 - Oxford, United Kingdom

Sydney FC's home ground is the Sydney Football Stadium, next to the SCG, but as that is being rebuilt so they are homeless for at least 2 season., They are playing their major matches at the SCG, but are also taking matches around the suburbs playing at three Rugby League grounds. This was the first match at the Leichhardt Oval, less than a mile from where we were staying in Sydney. The Leichhardt Oval is the home of Balmain Tigers, who merged with Western Suburbs Magpies to form the West Tigers in 1999. The merged team play 3 or 4 matches a year at Leichhardt, and these are very popular with the supporters. It is a very old-fashioned ground, with a main stand along one side of the pitch, a small wooden stand the sort of which you would expect to see in a 1920's cricket match in the corner, and then a ring of seats 6 deep around the rest of the pitch. Behind these seats is a large grass bank, where the supporters happily put down their blankets to watch the match in the hot blazing sun. Temperatures were around 27 degrees at the 5pm kick-off. We paid 50 AUD to sit in the main stand, but the general admission was 20 AUD. Cans of crap Aussie lager were 7.50 AUD although there was one stall selling a craft beer for 9.50 AUD for a small glass. There was a long queue for this. A hot-dog was 6 AUD. The visitors, Central Coast Mariners had about 200-300 supporters at the match, whilst most Sydney fans in the 12,000 crowd were wearing their Sky blue shirt. There was also a huge number of small children at the match, which is good for the long-term future of the game in Australia. Listening to the comments from home supporters around where we sat, and on the way out, the fans seem very knowledgeable and fair in the assessment of their team's performance and the weaknesses in their squad. The match was a 1-1 and overall it was an enjoyable experience

Sydney Bus Museum

Reviewed By nick164 - Sydney, Australia

An adult ticket is $20, which includes a ride from & back to the city on a charming vintage double decker. The museum itself is excellent - well laid out, lots of information plaques and of particular interest was a small exhibit on the role of buses during WW2. The volunteers have done an excellent job at collecting and restoring a broad range of buses over the years. The museum staff/volunteers were friendly. Well worth a visit for all ages. Note - It’s only open on selective Sundays. Be sure to check the website.

Palace Norton Street

Reviewed By srato3 - Sydney, Australia

I went to see a film Palace was showing as a part of the Italian Film festival. The cinema was clean and modern. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. The seats in the cinema were comfortable and wide, the screen was large and crystal clear and the sound quality was high, This cinema is one of my favorite to visit in Sydney.

If you're in Leichhardt, this is the place to be. Amazing coffee upstairs and HSP downstairs. Mad respect for the 2040 gang that runs the area, doing a great job!
