Shelley Beach

If you're used to beaches without the rough waves of many Australian beaches, you'll feel more at home at Shelley Beach. Alternatively, if it's the local sealife that you want to experience, enter the beach on the left-hand side and continue down to Fairy Bower (just past the rock pool).

Addison Road Markets

It's one of the best farmers markets in the city: a one stop shop for gourmet produce and regular fruit & vegetables, fresh bread and patisseries, meat, poultry, fish and cheese, glorious cheese. But that's not all. There's plenty of food stalls, from Phở to fry-ups, live music, fashion, knick-knacks and face painting for kids, or animated adults.

Modelled on traditional gardens from the Ming Dynasty - with koi carp frolicking in the lakes, willows luxuriating in the sun, a Dragon Wall, a Water Pavilion of Lotus Fragrance and even a teahouse - you can pretend you're in the People's Republic for under $10. So take a break from ye old Sydney town and visit 中国 - no passport required.

Bronte Beach

Relatively small compared to Bondi and Coogee Bronte still manages to pack it all in. There's a large park with barbecues so you can cook your own lunch, a saltwater lap pool, rock pools with all sorts of sea critters, and most glorious of all, the beach itself. Make sure you walk up to the cliffs for a breathtaking view of the Pacific.

The markets aren't just for shopping. The old dame fills cheap chow prescriptions. She's got shots of cheesy gosleme, chilli stoked doses of madras cuisine, Hungarian donuts + organic apples to keep the doctor away. Stock up, find a patch of grass, soak up the sun and bask in the warm lilt of Saturday afternoon, mingling with soulful tunes.

One of the best things about Sydney is the weather. We get an average of 236 days of sunshine each year. And if you can't make it to the beach, or can't be bothered to travel there (or can't deal with the crowds!), then why not head here with a picnic and good tunes instead? I can guarantee that life doesn't get much better.

It's an easy 2km walk that looks out across the harbour and skirts around five tiny beaches all inviting you to dive in or stop and picnic on the sand. There are also plenty of multi-million dollar homes to admire along the way.

It's the city's backyard, covering thirty hectares of prime, waterfront real estate with plants from all corners of the globe. And it's as diverse as the city itself - a series of interconnected gardens rather than one homogeneous whole. So bring a picnic, a frisbee, a book or a bike: the gardens are for everyone.
