Take a book and some beers or a bottle of wine to the park and have a lovely afternoon and evening sitting on the grass. There's always lots of people here and dogs, drinking and having fun. Fire twirlers come at night time. Great for a super local budget-friendly day out with friends or by yourself.

Sightseeing
Manly is a lovely place to go for a day trip, and catching the ferry there is one of the highlights of the trip. The ferry leaves from Circular Quay every half hour or so and costs $15 or less. On a sunny day, it's a really beautiful way to see Sydney harbour and get glorious views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
