Night Noodle Market

After checking out the finalists of the Sydney Life
photo competition in Hyde Park, we followed our noses
over to to Night Noodle Market, where a huge crowd
was already chowing down.

If you're looking for an Asian street stall eating experience
without leaving home, this is a variation on that theme.
I suggest you get there before 6 to get a table, but we managed
to enjoy our balancing act sitting around the fountain watching
a great street performer thrill the gathering. Loads of food
styles to choose from and very kid-friendly.

Open week nights from 5-9pm and finishes October 24.

Tamara Dean's beautiful photo has taken out first prize of the
Sydney Life photography competition.
It was taken next to Sydney airport and is part of a series
by Tamara called Ritualism.

You can see this and the other finalists on the Grand Central
Walkway in Hyde Park for the rest ofthis month as part of the
City of Sydney's biggest public arts festival - Art & About.

Festival of the Winds

Hopefully there is as much wind around on Sunday as the last
couple of days because it's that time of year again to dust off your
kite and untangle the string - as thousands of novices and
pros descend on Bondi Beach to join in the largest kite flying
festival of the year - The Festival of the Winds

There will be stalls selling kites if you don't have one or make your
own at one of the workshops being run.

Not into kites? The Pavillion Amphitheatre will have live entertainment
alongside music and dance workshops. There will be great food, face painting,
stilt walkers, jugglers and rides going thruout the day.
