Goat Island
Ever gazed across Sydney Harbour and wondered what it used to be like? Well it wasn’t as much fun as it is now that’s for sure, particularly if you weren’t here by choice. Discover how the convicts survived on Goat Island and the hard times even the guards faced living within one of the world’s most beautiful harbours.

School Holidays at Watsons Bay
Watsons Bay Hotel is going to be ultra-family friendly as it welcomes in the school holidaying kids of Sydney for a bit of fun. Past activities have included an amazing bubble show, cookie making, face painting, crafts, pirate’s day and trips to the zoo. There will be cheap meals for the kids during the working week and I think they might even serve the adults alcohol. 🙂 Bookings are required for some activities:

Get out-of-town
The Blue Mountains are a popular escape for many Sydneysiders at this time of year. The temperatures tend to be are not too hot and not too cold to get out and about. It is also close-by so you can easily do a day trip.
Further afield
Sydney is a pretty big place with a vast array of natural and man-made attractions to enjoy. We admit however that there are some great places to visit and things to do that aren’t in Sydney. If you must go, and you decide to drive, please use the ‘Stop. Revive. Survive.’ rest areas by the side of the road. If your aim is to see some of the countryside, do some sightseeing on route by getting off of the Highway / Freeway for a while. We have suggested a few places to stop if you planning on driving north up the coast. Where ever you go, whatever you do, please stay safe.
