Madame Tussaud’s has hit Sydney! This famous London icon has traveled to Darling Harbour. Its great fun whether you want to pose with faux celebrities, admire the workmanship or experience the uncanny feeling of being in a room where you can’t tell who’s real and who’s not. I found it very creepy to be around such life-like models, which were …
Like nothing else you have ever seen before, La Traviata is an exquisite floating opera cradled in Farm Cove. The iconic Sydney skyline complete with Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Botanic Gardens and skyscrapers loom across the black water, highlighted by a giant, shimmering floating chandelier. I was lucky enough to sit in on the dress rehearsal, thanks to a friend …
This weekend is Sydney’s Reclaim the Lanes 2012. Inner West Courier coverage “What is Reclaim the Lanes?” I hear you ask? Nothing but the best free moving laneway party this side of the equator. Colourful folks, live music, wheelie bin sound systems and good vibes are what you can expect. Don’t miss out! Departing from the Hub (opposite Newtown Station) …

Come along from 6pm for herbal high punch, tunes, friendly folk and other legal goodies. In other happy news, the same team will soon …
The spectacular landscaped gardens and Spanish inspired art deco manor at Leura Everglades are special at the best of times. Down winding paths, past waterfalls and pools are many picturesque spots from which you can view a pristine valley and bushland, lush and draped in ferns. But if you were to visit the Blue Mountains in the next couple of …
Saw a bunch more shows this week. At the risk of gushing endlessly about circus… hell, I’ll do it anyway. Get your ass down to see Circa Wunderkammer. Don’t worry about the faux German name – this Aussie circus troupe from Brisvegas don’t need a pretentious name to prop them up. The show is technically fantastic and a marvellous watch …
Last week I was lucky enough to score tickets to the new Circus Oz show, Steam Powered. The extravaganza combines the ultimate aesthetic of steam punk with the human charm for which Circus Oz is known. The adventure begins in Darling Harbour, where the Big Top looks so at home amongst the fabulous new children’s play area, with waterwheels, giant …
Wow! What a gig! Last week I checked out New Orleans’ number one bounce MC, Big Freedia live on stage in Australia. She appeared as part of the regular Sissy night at Goodgod Smallclub And Sydney sure did bounce. Gyrating butts as far as the eye could see… You get the idea: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-cT6SwFIHA] And a little documentary teaser that gives …
I went to some killer events last weekend which I thought I should share; First up Thursday night I caught Tijuana Cartel on at the Oxford Art Factory. This fine establishment hosts a range of live music and I am pleased to report that there was even a sweaty punk rock band in the space next door for free. This …
If you have a moment head to Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral at dusk tomorrow evening for an otherworldly experience. It will be your last chance to catch the site specific dance piece No Cold Feet by the locally based De Quincey Company. The beautiful and intriguing dance works its magical way from the cathedral stairs to the pond before eventually …
