International Food Festival in Sydney

Posted on by robandlinds

October 10-14 and 17-21, 2011
5 – 9pm weeknights (free entry)
The Night Noodle Markets are here!

Hyde Park North is transformed into an authentic Asian hawker-style market – for noodles, dumplings, desserts and more.

This major highlight of Crave Sydney International Food Festival brings together dozens of fabulous food stalls, three bars and nightly entertainment (including the much-loved Chinese lions).

The Coopers sustainable beer garden is back – a lovely space in which to relax, eat noodles and enjoy the finest Australian ales.  A choice of three bars serves Brown Brothers wine, Coopers beer, S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna mineral waters and sparkling fruit juices, as well as Chambord cocktails.

Easter Weekend

This was a trip we took when Lindsey was first here in April. We rented a car and drove about 3 hours north to Nelsons Bay. I had a bit of trouble getting used to driving on the other side of the road and got pulled over, hit the curb while getting pulled over and was asked to take a breathalyzer. Don’t worry, I passed. We didnt get a ticket and he even helped with directions.
Nice beaches here. We watched this guy reeling for about 20 minutes. He caught a sting ray. We stopped by Hunter Valley on the way home. Hunter Valley is wine country and about 2 hours north west of Sydney. Hit a few balls into the water driving range.
