Sydney Lifestyles

Sydney and the surrounds offer some of the most diverse and multicultural lifestyle experiences in the world. Dining includes choices from some of the most exotic corners of the globe, with authentic Asian, European and Middle Eastern choices to delight your pallet in a variety of ways.

Our choice for this quarter is the Fully Licensed Beaches Kosher Restaurant. Located at 11 O'Brien Street, Bondi Beach (Eastern Suburbs), this restaurant offers a delicious selection of kosher meals, including scrumptious fresh fish and salads. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

Modern theatres and museums reflect a dedication and passion for the arts. Internationally recognised actors training centres feed theatre to the heart of Sydney, offering one of the best theatrical experiences. For this quarter, our theatre highlight is the National Institute of Dramatic Arts. NIDA trains actors, directors, musical theatre performers, stage designers, costume designers and other theatrical tradespeople. NIDA students present a variety of first-class performances year-round. To learn about current and upcoming performances, or to buy tickets, ring (02) 8512 9932. The NIDA Studio is located at 215 Anzac Pde, Kensington.

Nothing says Sydney like the Historic Houses Trust. The Historic Houses Trust is a group dedicated to preserving the history of Australia. Any of the venues supported by the HHT are well worth a visit to learn more about the settlement and development of Australia as we know it today.

The Justice & Police Museum (Albert and Phillip Streets, Circular Quay) is open weekends 10.00am to 5.00pm (Monday to Friday for booked groups only) with a small entry fee of $7 adults, $3 children/students/seniors. Tours are available as well as travelling exhibitions showing the cause and effect of a modern and growing police force. On display is a classic magistrate's bench and holding cell, and various tools, restrains and devices as well as information about the growth of modern Australian from a penal colony to a civilized multicultural protected environment.
