    Public-art Exploration

    Sydney is filled with thought-provoking public art installations that can even rival those found in its many art galleries and museums. A great way to get off the trodden-tourist trails is to explore these art forms, whether it's suspended above a pedestrian street or incorporated into a public transport station. Yo uwil come across the Tower of Love installation in Central Park Mall, which depicts a few endangered animals hanging by a thread on top of one another. Then there’s the In between Two Worlds art along the walls and floors of Little Hay Street. This installation by local artist Jason WIng, illuminates at night, adding a futuristic and mystical touch to the alley! Remember Me is an artform that was a result of a ration to the 250th anniversary of Captain james Cook’s first landfall and is seen as a strong tribute to the Australian Aboriginals.

    It is an undeniable truth that Australians, especially Sydneysiders, love their coffee. From cappuccinos, lattes, long blacks, flat whites to espressos and macchiatos,there are a number of variations you can order at a standard coffee shop in the city.

There are many barista classes witit the city centre from where you can learn the intricacies  of Australian coffee making. The classes can have varying intensity– while some of them will get you ready to become a professional barista, others are more oriented in teaching you the basics.
