Sydney Summertime – keepin’ it cool

If you’re looking for some easy-going activities in your own neighbourhood, but need to dodge the heat, Cameron Furlong shares a few ideas for ‘indoor outings’.
Penrith Regional Gallery in Emu Plains is worth a visit any time, and right now has classes and workshops for all ages: https://www.penrithregionalgallery.com.au/event-genre/classes-workshops/
On all this week at the Riverside Theatre in Parramatta is the Garden of Sound: https://riversideparramatta.com.au/whats-on/the-garden-of-sound/
In Sutherland next week, you’ll find The Bogong’s Song at the Pavilion Performing Arts Centre: https://tickets.thepavilionarts.au/Events
The Blacktown Garage Party is on all next Thursday 15 and Friday 16 January in the Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre: https://blacktownarts.com.au/event/sydney-festival-blacktown-garage-party
Local libraries – everywhere! Rather than hide from the heat in the shopping centre, head to your local library. Check your local council website and search ‘library’ to find out what’s on at the library in your area.
