Tucked away just a hop and a skip from the Ivy Ballroom, there’s a delightful little tea shop called “The Rabbit Hole”. Known for its artisanal blends and cheeky rabbit-themed decor, it’s the perfect spot to unwind before the forum with a soothing cup of brew.
Jump on the train to Wynyard Station – it’s just a short stroll to George Street from there. If you’re driving, your best bet is the secure parking at 321 Kent Street Parking: it’s a bit of a walk but usually less crowded. For a seamless experience, try to get there around 5 PM to beat the grain of the daily hustle.
For a genuine Sydney experience, head to “The Baxter Inn” for a pre-event whisky or “The Grounds of the City” for a top-notch meal. These spots are beloved by the locals for their quality fare and relaxed vibes.
August in Sydney can be a bit brisk, especially in the evening. Layers are your friends, and it doesn’t hurt to pack a light jacket. Those coastal breezes can catch you off guard as the sun goes down.
Why not make a day of it in Sydney? You’ll find plenty to explore and enjoy – here are some ideas to start with.
Start your day with a leisurely stroll through The Royal Botanic Garden. It’s a serene spot to clear your mind before diving into precious metal discussions. Then, recharge with a delicious flat white at “Mecca Espresso” nearby.
After the event, wind down with live jazz at “Papa Gede’s Bar”. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with clever cocktails and chat about all the nuggets of wisdom you’ve picked up during the forum.
Public transport in Sydney is a breeze with frequent buses and trains heading to the CBD. Rideshare apps are your go-to for a more direct route – just watch out for surge pricing during peak times. For those who prefer to drive, parking in the CBD can be tricky, so planning ahead is key.
If you’re looking for parking, aim for spots a little further out, like Darling Harbour – it’s often less congested and a scenic walk to the venue.
For nearby digs, Sydney offers a range from budget to boutique: “YHA Sydney Central” for thrifty comfort, “Metro Hotel Marlow” for mid-range convenience, or the luxurious “Hyatt Regency” for something special. They’ve all got great reviews and are a stone’s throw from the main action.
