Queen's Birthday Long-Weekend in Sydney and the start of the Snow Season

Queen's Birthday Long-Weekend in Sydney and the start of the Snow Season

Have you notice how long this month has been? On and on and on and it's still here. The reason is, is that we need a break and we haven't had one. Thankfully, the Queen has bestowed upon us that we can take a day off for her birthday, isn't that nice of her. If I could, I'd give everyone the day off for my birthday too, in fact for yours as well. Why stop there, every birthday should be a holiday and we all should get paid holiday pay if really need to do some work. Yes, well, so, moving on not only is it the Queen's Birthday next month it is also the start of the ski season. Below you'll find links for things to do over the June Long-Weekend, Skiing in Australia and then we go on a bit about the Alpine Way in the Snowy Mountains.

The Lighting of the Sails of the Sydney Opera House - Vivid Sydney Festival

The Lighting of the Sails of the Sydney Opera House

Sydney is about to change colour as the Vivid Festival Lights begin reflecting of off the waters of Sydney Harbour.  Sydney will look as though an electrified rainbow has descended from the sky.  This riveting combination of art, architecture and light is as stunning as it is unique.

Things to do if it rains in Sydney

What to do if it rains in Sydney

Has it been raining where you are? Well 'rain happens' I guess. I was talking to lady who used to live in Cape York, the pointy bit at the top of Queensland. I asked her what they did during the three months of continuous rain called the Wet Season. She said they did the same things they did when it was not raining (presumably excluding hanging out the washing); they just did them in the rain. So if you are looking for something to do whilst it is raining, you could do as they do in Far North Queensland or try some of these ideas instead: http://www.sydney100.com/whattodorainssydney.htm

Vivid Sydney Festival and National Maritime Museum

The National Maritime Museum and Vivid

Have we mentioned yet that Vivid starts in a couple of days time? Thought so, anyway one thing we have failed to mention was the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour has seen the light and joined in the fun. "The roof top projection is inspired by the colour, patterns, flavours and sounds of India to complement the museum's exhibition, East of India".

Pyrmont Festival (and Mudgee Festival) in Sydney

Pyrmont Festival - Pirrama Park - Friday, 17th May to Sunday, 26th May

Pyrmont and Mudgee combine in ferocious synergy of wine, food and art. The festival is the called the Pyrmont Festival rather than the Mudgee Festival to stop people jumping in their cars and driving at top speed out to the land of the Mud-gee, only to discover the festival is being held in Sydney. That's not to say that Pyrmont doesn't have much to offer the world, of course it does, but there aren't too many wineries in Pyrmont. Enjoy the day and 'Meet the Winemaker'.
