Nurragingy Chinese Gardens

Sydney Siders, If you know what the Doonside area looks like in the Western Suburbs, you would NEVER (and I mean never in a million years) guess that in the middle of the Nurragingy Reserve (Knox Rd) would be this hidden gem. The Chang Lai Yuan Chinese Gardens was a late addition to the estate in 2013 and it's beautiful construction was a collaboration of ideas between Blacktown City Council and the Chinese Liaocheng Municipal Government to symbolise a gesture of friendship between the sistering cities.

The architectural designs are based on the Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Chinese Garden features a Gateway, Seven Arch Stone Bridge, Light Mountain Pavilion and Waterfall Gazebo. The view is nothing less of picturesque, a piece of oriental beauty admits the West. Come down to the Garden for a day with the family, a cute date or for time alone. Open everyday from 7am - 6pm the park offers not only wide grassy land to kick a ball around or sit around for a picnic but a serene tranquil atmosphere to escape from your reality.

This is one of my favourite places in Western Sydney and from these pictures you can see why

        You'll leave this place wanting to come back again and again

North Sydney Olympic Pool

North Sydney Olympic Pool – Swim Amongst the Giants

Hey Sydney Siders! What an awesome Friday afternoon!

Nestled right under the harbour bridge lies an aquatic centre that is sure to make you feel small again. Located in North Sydney just a few minutes walk from Milsons Point train station and bordering the famous Luna Park, North Sydney Pool has sweeping views of the harbour with the Sydney CBD in the background.


The centre boasts an outdoor 50m Olympic sized swimming pool and an indoor 25m pool for those who want to be sheltered from the elements. The views of the bridge and the harbour are both visible in each pool, perfect motivation to swim laps or relax and enjoy the scenery. For an additional cost you can access spa/sauna facilities, showers and the gym.


I was able to enjoy the 50m pool, the main attraction. The facility was clean and well appointed with lap signs for lap speed. The water used in the pool seemed to be collected from the harbour itself and thus a strong taste of salt is apparent, in addition to chlorine, making it a slightly different experience to your usual aquatic centre in Sydney, nevertheless it was still an enjoyable experience.

Stay tuned Sydney Siders! :)
