Professional Bull Riders – Sydney Origin, ICC Sydney Theatre
This no rodeo, this is three hours of bull. 🙂 This is your opportunity to get up close and personal. I can see this could be hard to watch. Gripping yet scary. Not everyone’s cup of tea perhaps but it certainly won’t be dull. We have cheated slightly as the bull riders don’t make it to Sydney until early July but we were keen to tell you about it. 🙂

Bare Island
The Bare Island was the site of a state of the art military defence complex when it was built in the late 1800s. Sydney was a very different place back then. The fledgling European population believed that Sydney needed to be able to defend herself from potential foe. Follow the link below to find out more including a map:

Winter Magic Festival – Katoomba
It’s back! After a little rest Katoomba’s winter will once more be magical.
There is one thing to know about Katoomba in June, it isn’t warm so rug up. Katoomba’s Winter Festival magically banishes traffic from its main street and replaces it with an army of artists, musicians, dancers, drummers and choirs. The Winter Magic Grand Parade is worth seeing and there will be plenty of market stalls and people to look at, as everybody is encouraged to dress in costume. Make it a warm one.

Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair
The Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair will have you in stitches! 🙂 The fair is tuned towards those with a thirst for knowledge along with seasoned creatives in search of new ideas and inspiration. If you can’t see yourself stamping, scrap booking, knitting, crocheting, card making, embroidering, sewing, quilting, or jewellery-making from here, then you’ll never make it anywhere. It’s up to you, at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. 🙂
