Glorious Sydney suburb with excellent pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants and harbour views. Recommend drinks in the Welcome Hotel, the Exchange, the William Wallace, the Bald Rock and for any homesick Cockneys a beer on the balcony of the London with the harbour bridge in the background. Birchgrove Oval is probably the best place to kick a football (Association) or chuck a few balls down in the nets.

10 mins by ferry from Circular Quay to East Balmain, Balmain Thames street or Birchgrove. Any bueses from the Queen Victoria Building - 441 or 442.

Sydney is the Rugby League capital of the southern hemisphere and each weekend the place grinds to a halt as thousands make the weekly pilgrimage to one of the many Premiership clubs who play in the city and the suburbs. The current Premiers, Wests Tiger,s can be found in the city, but I've always loved visiting Parramatta to watch the exciting Eels play. An excursion to the rugby allows you to witness an essential piece of Sydney culture.

Parramatta Eels RFC, Parramatta. Trains to Parramatta run from Sydney Central Station and the journey takes approx 20-30 mins. From Parramatta Station a free bus service runs to Parramatta Stadium. Taxis are also plentiful. Tickets available from Ticketek in Darling Harbour (www.tickettek.com.au)

A supremely exciting end to end sport unique to this amazing country. Sydney is home to the Swans who, in September of this year won the Australian Rules Football Premiership for the first time since the 1930s. Watching a Swans match at the Sydney Cricket Ground is a MUST in any visit to this city. Tickets are available via Ticketek online or in the Darling Harbour complex

Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park.
