10kms Hike / Wildlife Photo of Year / Fish Mkts / Sydney's Best Burger / Drinks!

Let's get some culture into ya (and me), shall we? WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR is on!!!

And let's add what we do best: Hike. Drink... and destroy Sydney's Best American Smash Burger from "Eat at Rob's" in Rozelle. Shall we then carry on to one of Balmain's great pubs? The London? Dick's? Dry Dock? Perhaps. Here we go:

THE HIKE.
Glorious Sydney Harbour. We meet at the steps of Customs House, an architectural gem. And you know where we go from there - Circular Quay, The Rocks, and perfect views of Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge. Around Walsh Bay and Pier 1, a beautiful hotel... to the other wharves, Barangaroo Headland, then past uniquely designed Crown Sydney. We'll pass King St Wharf's bars / restaurants, then head over Pyrmont Bridge for a 955am arrival (10am opening) 1hr break to check out the Wildlife Photography of the Year - I LOOOOVE this exhibit - 100 images taken from 60,000 entries and 117 countries. Make sure to buy your tickets HERE (just get the $25 "EXHIBITIONS ONLY" pass). If you're not keen on the exhibition, please join us for the hike starting at 11am at National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour.

100 photos, 1 hour of viewing. From there we'll head down lovely Pyrmont through Sydney Fish Markets then passing the new Sydney Fish Markets (very cool architecture) then around Blackwattle Bay - it's a lovely walk. The water. The dogs. The parkland. Post-Bay, we head into quaint Rozelle for drinks / late-lunch at the Sackville Hotel - a great pub. Let's find a spot to park there. Feel free to eat, or walk 50metres (I will) to Eat at Rob's. Not only is this one of the best USA smash burgers in Sydney it's also one of the cheapest.

NOTE: IF WE GET 25 OR MORE HIKERS. PAY CASH. I'LL DO A LOTTO AND TREAT SOMEBODY'S SINGLE CHEESEBURGER.

From there? Who knows. Balmain is arguably the best neighbourhood / winter pub spot in Sydney, so we might carry on if the energy of the day calls for it...

Join me as I tick off my "I really should get to a museum once a year" box! What a great day of calories out / calories in. Culture. And our amazing Sydney Harbour and pubs!!!
