Located in the middle of the city, within walking distance. You are allowed to take photos here, avoid the flash. Came here to see their amazing European art collection. Claude Monet's Port Goulphar 1887, beautiful color with detailed brushstrokes. One of my favorite paintings. Vincent Van Gogh's hand of a peasant 1884 was great, lot's of people checking this one out. Another must see was Pablo Picasso's reclining women on a couch 1939. You can get lost in his paintings. I made sure to take time to walk through the Australian art section. I enjoyed seeing the paintings on the animal hides and showcasing so much history. Lot's of talented local artists.

There is so much to see also, I would gladly have paid for entry. There is a large hall that features a lot of original native arts and animals from various regions around the world. Another area features animals from all areas around the globe. Of course a large area dedicated to Australia specific history, from it's people to it's animals including those unfortunately extinct. A whole section for dinosaurs. A children's area and a fabulous gift shop are also housed here. This is so worth a visit, especially on a rainy day.

Was a fab evening of circus performances on the big top stage and fun activities - dress up in circus costumes, ride on the carousel, have a go at hula hooping, plate spinning, etc. Inbetween the main performances there was a band playing and we enjoyed drinks from the bar and free popcorn and candy floss, whilst a magician entertained the crowd. We also spent time having a look at the circus exhibits. The night culminated with an exciting fire juggling display outside the front entrance. Really enjoyed the event and think it's a great idea for museums to hold special after hours events that tie in with their temporary exhibitions and bring them to life. Most of the rest of the museum wasn't accessible during the event but I'd seen enough to inspire another visit to check out the museum itself when I returned to Sydney later. As its name suggests, the museum is housed in an old power station building which is a large and spacious venue. The exhibits cover subjects like transport, steam engines, electricity, computers, modelmaking, etc. I was excited to have a poke around the life-sized space shuttle model in the space section, disappointingly part of it was taped off as out of order. Unfortunately, we came across other interactive exhibits elsewhere in the museum that weren't working either. I'd have rated it four stars if it wasn't for this as it's quite an interesting place.

Well I just found it, and it's in Carriageworks every Saturday from 8am-1pm, and it's the land of milk and honey... ... and goat's cheese and coffee and fresh fruit and vegetables and stunning flowers and bacon and egg rolls that will kill hangovers stone dead and bush shrub cordial and wood ear mushrooms which I only just found out existed and a hundred other things besides. And people bring their dogs just for you (YOU!) to play with. I wandered around with a cup of bone broth and a giant fig, date and raisin sourdough buying up radishes and bunches of herbs and flowers for mum and only left when I literally could not carry another thing, not even a single currant. See you next week.

It is right in the middle of picking season at the moment and one of the two 'Batlow Apple' stands was an utter hoax. Apples bought from Flemington no doubt and the bloke who was manning it did not even know where Batlow was. The other stand was marginally better promising unwaxed apples and at least he had some of the varieties correct. Fuji were picked at least a month ago so these have been in coolstore which is fine. Indeed some apples improve in coolstore, but don't mislead people! Thirlmere Chook is very nice but $18 a chook? My final grizzle - Bar Pho didn't have any phumplings. Bugger! I think some of the stands here are having a lend.
