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

ArtHouse

Don't you love those nights where there a good vibes radiating all over? 
Where there is absolutely nothing wrong in your life?
That's how I feel every time I go to ArtHouse on a Friday night.

ArtHouse Nightclub is situated in ArtHouse Hotel, The Galleries, Pitt St. 

It's one of THE BEST places to be on a Friday night and the main reason for this is that it is the home 
of the beloved and most amazing Rnb Soul band in Sydney -    
                                  BROWN SUGAR

If you are a lover of live music, Brown Sugar covers old school classics to recent radio hits but with their own 
soul spin to it. 
The band consists of these talented musicians:

• Lady Lyric & Miguel George - Vocals
• Michael Dolce - Guitar
• Bryon Luiters - Bass
• Deni Di Filippo - Drums
• Jonathon 'JC' Careo - Keys & Sax

BROWN SUGAR - 2008 @ THE BASEMENT

You can tell that they love what they do. Their amazing chemistry has been developed over the decade they've spent playing with each other. Their passion for their art and their audience makes every performance breathe life into every soul in that room. Doors open by 5, with DJ Trey starting the set off at 7pm. Brown Sugar follows playing 2 sets on the night with the whole room dancing and singing along - no matter what age or gender. Their most requested cover is Shackles by Mary Mary - no voice goes unsung when that is played. 

Affordable drinks, free entry, outstanding music - it's a Friday night done right.
Favourite Friday night whenever I'm at ArtHouse, I guarantee you'll ooze happiness walking through those doors

CAPITOL THEATRE

CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? SINGING THE SONG OF ANGRY MEN?

I DREAMED A DREAM OF TIME GONE BYYYYYYY

ON MY OWN PRETENDING HE'S BESIDE MEEEE

Well Sydney Siders, that was my 3 line rendition of a Les Miserables medley. I really hope you enjoyed it, i'm headlining next week at the Opera House! Don't miss it!

There's just something about musical theatre that get's to me every single time. For 2.5 hours, as the audience you're taken on this journey, you become so attached to these characters while you're told their story through song and dance. You laugh, you cry, you feel everything that these characters do, and that alone is something so special.

For as long as I can remember my sister and I have had this tradition of going to watch a musical every year, whether it be at the Star's Lyric Theatre or the grand Capitol Theatre - 13 Campbell Street, Haymarket NSW - which has been apart of Sydney's history since 1892.

Les Mis showing at the Capitol Theatre now!

This September I was able to watch Les Miserables the Musical and it was spectacular. The cast overflowed with talent and passion, the storyline had so much depth and the songs were show-tune classics - I couldn't help shed at tear when Eponine belted out 'On my Own'. Unrequited love really is a shot to the heart. 

Les Mis is definitely a must see show & it has it's final release tickets out now! Purchase online at Ticketmaster -> Les Mis Tickets

If you do miss this show, Capitol Theatre has new musicals all year around. Expect CATS and the classic The Sound of Music for viewing real soon!

Les Miserables Trailer

There's something about it that is just so magical and even if it's not your thing, I highly recommend you to go watch a musical even once in your life. Who know's you might just fall in love with it as much as I have.

Until the next post,

xx Annie

N2 Gelato

HAPPY SUNDAY! 

Treat yo self to some yum GELATO!

Just pick a flavour and the gelato is made to order right in front of you from scratch, by using liquid nitrogen... wait what?!? That's right, this is not your regular gelato! 

The place feels like your in a lab... with staff in lab coats and safety glasses... with smoke from the liquid nitrogen being poured out all over the place.

  There are 2 stores in Sydney, 1 in Chinatown and 1 in Newtown, so make sure you head over to one of the stores for some serious DELICIOUSNESS MMMM!

The liquid nitrogen being poured into the bowls is always a fabulous spectacle! My favourite flavour by far is the ferrero reveal. This one comes with a hazelnutty flavoured gelato, chocolate filled syringe and my favourite part... a rice bubble layer topped with a chocolate coating! HELLO CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD but it's too damn good to not try if you're a chocolate lover like I am!

Stay tuned to find out on more about different places to be in Sydney!

Circular Quay

Hello Sydney Siders!

Atmospheric, beautiful, hectic and frantic. The hub of activity and people... The stepping off to many of the sites and places of interest around Sydney.

Circular Quay has magnificent sights and views! 
Just look at the below beautiful panoramic photo! 
So go on... soak in the scenes, the people and the atmosphere!

Circular Quay is a must see for everyone! It's full of restaurants and walkways. The walkways will lead you to some of the most popular attractions in Sydney including the Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens, Harbour Bridge and the Rocks. 

There's always lots of people to see - from locals and tourists, to buskers, Aboriginal performers, street artists, living statues and musicians! 

Regular ferries depart from Circular Quay, to many attractions around Sydney like Darling Harbour, Taronga Zoo, Manly Beach etc and often one can see large ships cruising past. 

Why not jump aboard a jet speedboat and get given a WHIRLWIND tour of the Harbour which is really FUN and for THRILL seekers! For a BIGGER and BETTER but pricey but WORTH IT experience, why not live life on the edge in Sydney with the climb of your life, climbing the Harbour Bridge! 

Enjoy your Sydney adventure...

Stay tuned for more!

The Oxford Arts Factory

Oxford Arts Factory

Got the craving to fix your live music addiction? Say no more! Oxford Arts Factory has you covered!

Those stage lights though! Such pretty much wow!

This underground venue has two rooms, one for larger events and a little more intimate room for smaller gigs! Lined with Andy Warhol like art, it truly is a bespoke and ‘arty’ venue that caters for any genre!

Local band The Indians demolishing the stage.

I usually go here to watch some Indie acts and mates play for their gigs! The music here does not disappoint with likes of Sydneysider, Flume and countless other acts such as NZ’s Broods, Violent SOHO, Tuka and Baauer all having gigs here it attracts everyone locally and internationally. It’s not any old boring place, it has a space where you can sit down and chill out or for those who want to let their hair down, big dance floor areas. So if you’re keen to check out some mad vibes then let your ears be tantalised by these sensational tunes.

Peaceout,

Emmanuel
