Australia
The Australians are sports-mad, so if you really want to impress someone, book a private box at Sydney Cricket Ground. It’s one of Sydney’s main sports stadiums and doesn’t just house cricket, but also rugby league and rugby union matches, as well as Australian Rules Football. A corporate box will entitle you a two-course meal, unlimited drinks throughout the game and half-time snacks.
Almost as good as swimming in Sydney Harbour and definitely no sharks. Take a dip in the Domain 50-metre swimming pool, with the Harbour on one side and the Botanic Gardens on the other. If you want to see Sydney's finest preening before heading off to work then turn up at 7am and prepare to learn how swimming can make you REALLY fit.
The Domain is set into the Botanic Gardens at the Woolloomooloo end.
