A stroll around Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens
Ideal for nature enthusiasts or those who desire a short getaway from urban life, Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens are set in thirty hectares of divine natural beauty. There’s no need to dent the bank balance to have a pleasant day trip. Discover rare plants, from Osmanthus Fragrans to Salvia Africana, as the garden is home to Australian plants and a few from overseas. Take a stroll through the gardens, keeping your eyes peeled for birdlife or the occasional possum, and unwind in the tranquillity of the natural world with a picnic or a good book. The best things in life are free, after all.
Sydney Observatory
Once a fort in the early 19th Century, the Sydney Observatory now serves as a museum comprising aboriginal astronomy exhibitions and telescopes. If you’re interested in or curious about star-gazing then this museum is an ideal excursion! Although it will cost you to use their Schmidt-cassegrain telescopes, it is free of charge to walk around the museum and observe the astronomy displays. Become educated in stars and planets and pay a visit to the heritage-listed sandstone building!
Bondi Beach
Sun lotion? Check! Beach towel? Check! Camera? Check! Then it’s time to head down to Bondi Beach and bask on white sands, swim in the turquoise warm waters and immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere. Relax by the sea with a magazine or a ball game before taking the six kilometre Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. Relish picturesque views as you wander past rock pools, cliffs and bays – be sure to keep an eye out for aboriginal rock carvings and Mackenzie’s Point Beach!
Marina life at Shelly Beach
Think you need to snorkel, rent a kayak, pay a visit to a museum or sign up for a boat tour to observe marine life? Think again! At Shelly Beach you can witness life beneath the surface of the ocean free of charge. Observe marine life in its natural habitat and swim out to spot a cuttlefish or two, just make sure you bring some goggles and you’re good to go!
