Walk around the Sydney suburb of
Surry Hills where boutique art galleries display mainly Australian contemporary
art for viewing or purchase. Call in at pubs and cafes along the way. These
walks are not as "Art" intense as you will find in the Paddington
Walks, but for the modern Art lover the absorption of the Surry Hills atmosphere
will
stimulate the mind and enliven the senses. Markets: On the first Saturday
of each month is the Surry
Hills market at Shannon Park on the corner of Foveaux and Crown St (great for Walk 1).
Here, you can meander around stalls of preloved wares and clothes, accessories,
plants, CDs, gourmet delights and other objects of interest.
