 Great food, great price!
No matter what your budget there are many places you can go for a cheap dinner. And the great thing is, many have outdoor heaters! So you can enjoy the outdoors while staying nice and warm. Some great places I enjoy going:
Newtown: For a sunny day I like Urban Bites. It is a trendy café located on King Street. They are affordable with meals ranging from $10 - $20. I love the all day breakfast! www.urbanbites.net.au
Another great place in Newtown is Thai Pothong. Beautiful food, this restaurant is extremely popular with the locals and it attracts visitors from out of town. Read More »

 Do you like history? Or maybe you are interested in the unexplained? I know I am! Enter Sydney’s ghost tours; Sydney's early days were full of dark secrets and exciting stories; these tours will tell you all about them. Some great tours are:
The Rocks Ghost Tours run two different walks around The Rocks, the Dark North Side & the Dark South Side. These lantern-lit tours go for two hours and run every evening. Weaving through The Rocks you will go though old streets see haunted sites and houses while your tour guide tells of ghostly tales of days gone by. These tours are interesting and informative filled with historical facts.

 October in Sydney is jam packed with fun events, exhibitions, shows and they named it Crave Sydney. There is just so much to do and see such as the International food festival, Darling Harbour Fiesta (last post), Island hopper (discover the islands around Sydney), Breakfast on the Bridge (exactly that! Have breakfast on the iconic symbol of Sydney- our Harbour Bridge)
I was a student once too and know money can be tight so check out some free events at this link
Get into Crave Sydney!

 Just a quick reminder that daylight savings will start this Sunday 4th October. This means you will need to put your clock forward one hour at 2am on Sunday (or when ever you wake up). You can get the official word on the New South Wales Lawlink site.
No excuses for getting to class on time on Tuesday 
Enjoy the long weekend!
