So glad we took this tour! We would recommend Terry without hesitation for any tour! This is a…read moresmall group tour of max eight people in a luxury van. It's also a very personal tour; for example, instead of taking you to a cafe, you and your tour mates take a walk in the rainforest while Terry prepares BBQ and side dishes. He also serves snacks throughout the day--Australian staples such as vegemite sandwiches, Timtams, and (tasty) homemade lemingtons. Terry has lived in the area his entire life, and his knowledge and love for the area shows throughout the tour. You go to several coastal stops, including sublime lookout, Kiama, and bald hill. We went to the Minnamurra rainforest. It's a beautiful walk and we saw lyre birds and an echidna. There was beautiful scenery and a neat suspension bridge. We also went to the Royal National park where we had a beautiful and challenging beach/bush walk over to Aboriginal engravings. Though we were not there for photography, Terry seemed very helpful to those of our group who brought manual cameras. The entire trip, Terry made sure we were comfortable, had plenty of rest breaks and bathroom breaks, and was constantly asking for our feedback on what could make our tour and his future tours better. Loved this tour and even went out with members of our group after Terry dropped us off. Don't miss this tour!

Lots of quality strobes and accessories. Bought my first strobe kit here and lots of accessories. Only had one small issue which was fixed immediately by the store. Their warranty policy is great and I don't have to deal with overseas companies... Just an Australian storefront or over the phone.

One of Sydney's newest art spaces. Sew Make Create has been around for almost a couple of months…read morenow. The owner, top Sydney designer Melissa Tan-Lu and Sew Make Create's resident dog Pepper are just adorable. The whole shop is quite funky :) I was fortunate to have been invited (through another blog) to experience their beginners crochet course with Bronwen. I arrived on a Wednesday night at 7pm a little tired yet eager as anything to learn, and learn heaps. My manual dexterity skills deflated me for a while, yet I was amazed with the crochet stitch and getting into a granny square so soon with confidence. The class sizes are rather small which is great. Lindt chocolate balls were provided with water as stunning refreshments, as well as biscuits and tea. This course is also available on selected weekends. Sew Make Create also run a variety of other craft courses. After the beginners crochet course, if you wish to take things further, then the crochet clinic is for you. Instead of yarn, turn that yarn into 'plarn' with a plastic bag crochet course. Sew Make Create is a dynamic arts space that also rents out sewing machines, and hence provides ample working space to design some pretty clothes. Sew Make Create also sell sewing machines and craft supplies. Sew Make Create (from the request of many parents) have put together a fantastic course schedule for the kids school holidays coming up, as at the time of writing this. Beginners crochet is also covered, and kids can also learn cupcake decorating and also learn how to make these adorable felt brooches. Located in Chippendale right near the Broadway Shopping Centre.
