Kiama is a town on the South Coast of New South Wales, located approximately 120 km south of Sydney. The town and surrounding area are characterized by beautiful coastal cliffs, scenic beaches, and panoramic vantage points.
The South Coast as a whole is a popular weekend getaway as well as a Sydney day trip destination, with so much to see and do in addition to excellent cafe and restaurant options.
Indoor climbing gyms are slowly becoming more mainstream in Sydney and across the country, allowing more people to discover and practise this diverse sport.
If you’re looking for a new sport that is intense, fun, and also social, indoor rock climbing or bouldering should be on your list to try out.
Visiting a museum or art gallery is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon, and can be educational and entertaining for both kids and adults.
Sydney has no shortage of museums and art galleries, but what’s great is that some of these museums offer free admission which makes them accessible to more people.
Also referred to as miniature golf or putt putt, mini golf is a fun and social pastime suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Sydney is home to several mini golf courses, indoor as well as outdoor, where you and your mates can have a few hours of fun while showing off, or otherwise improving, your putting skills.
Go karting is a fun and exciting sport that is suitable for all ages, but unfortunately there aren’t many race venues to choose from in Sydney.
You can go all out with high speeds on one of the outdoor race tracks, or you can opt for an indoor racing experience with lots of twists and turns to showcase your true driving skills.
Sydney-siders have a true love affair with coffee. For many of us, coffee is the first thing on our minds when we wake up in the morning. So we want to make sure that we start the day with the best cup of coffee we can get our hands on.
Sadly though, the price of a coffee has gone up dramatically in recent years, such that it’s not unusual anymore to pay 5 dollars for a regular sized coffee.
Ice skating is fun for the whole family, and luckily Sydney still has a number of indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks on offer.
Not only is Sydney home to a few world class Olympic sized ice skating arenas, during the winter months you will also have the chance to go ice skating outside in one of the various pop-up rinks.
Lithgow is an historic town located on the western edge of the Blue Mountains, approximately two hours driving from Sydney via the Great Western Highway or the Bells Line of Road.
The town has a rich industrial history, and is surrounded by various national parks such as the Gardens of Stone National Park, the Wollemi National Park, and the Blue Mountains National Park.
Sydney is not just great for hiking, it’s also the perfect city to go out for a nice run. Blessed with an almost perfect climate, Sydney has quite a few scenic running tracks that take in beautiful bays, parks, ocean cliffs, and popular landmarks.
Sydney is also home to a lot of fun runs to encourage people of all ages and fitness levels to go out and have a go at running.
Trampoline parks have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, and it’s not challenging to work out why that is.
Not only is jumping on trampolines a lot of fun for kids, it’s also a great way to get some decent exercise in. It helps to build physical strength, and also improves coordination, balance, agility, and social skills.
