Sydney Summertime: local easy-going outings
Summer is a great time to slow down a little – and maybe take the time to enjoy the simpler pleasures in your local areas.
We’ll be sharing a taster of things to do around the ‘burbs in Sydney over the next few weeks. This week, our producers chipped in some of the events and activities in their neighbourhoods.
And if you want to check out your neighbourhood for more events like these, try local council and community group websites and socials.
