Just in case the adrenalin rush of the Rugby World Cup 2003 opening ceremony and opening match between Australia and Argentina is not enough, high speed motorsport lovers can attend one of Australia’s premier races – the Bob Jane T-Marts 100 (or alternatively ‘Bathurst’) – from 9 – 12 October, at Mount Panorama in Bathurst.
And if that doesn’t satiate your automotive appetite, the Sydney Motorshow, displaying new and concept cars, is also on during October.
If you are searching for more tranquil fulfilment, try taking a coastal walk with a difference. Sculpture by the Sea is Australia's largest annual outdoor free exhibition of contemporary sculpture staged along Sydney's spectacular Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk.
Each year the exhibition, which attracts over 200,000 visitors, exhibits approximately 90 works by artists from Australia and overseas.
When darkness falls, head for The Rocks area. Peruse Sydney’s wares under the unique sail like canopy of The Rocks Market. Sydney's leading lifestyle market features a delectable range of arts, crafts, homewares and collectables on George and Playfair Streets.
