Did you Know...?
Darlinghurst means, Darling, named after The
Governor, Darling. and Hurst, an old English name for a wooded hill…
As you
sailed into Sydney Harbour heading towards Circular Quay, you could look up into
the area of where Darlinghurst is today and spot plenty of windmills. In place
of the windmills we now have colourful flags representing the flourishing gay
movement in Sydney. With the largest gay population in the world, Sydney hosts a
fabulous Mardi-gras in March. The parade is a colourful celebration of unity and
acceptance. I’m not sure what The Governor would have to say about it today, but
from all reports my guess is that he’d be happy not to deal with it…
Cafe of the Season
 We have sooooo many cafés in Sydney. Our guests often comment on how they all
survive? Well it’s tough. And as it is in everything competitive you have to be
consistently good to stay on top. There is nothing worse than hanging out for
the coffee that you’re use to getting only to have the barista away and the cook
filling in, serving up a weak boiling hot brew….
The ‘Ultimate’ café this
month is Bar Fredo at Pier 9 Walsh Bay. If Theo isn’t making the coffee for you
I’ll eat my hat.
Restaurant of the Season
Nicks Bondi Beach Be it lunch, dinner, coffee or just a cold
beer/cocktail, Nicks at Bondi Beach is the best possible way to fully appreciate
Australia’s most famous beach. Situated right in the middle of all the action,
it’s a classic spot to people watch & hang out with the locals.
