Now for something a little different. In case you hadn’t all noticed, we live in one of, if not THE most beautiful cities in the world. And we are probably all guilty of not taking full advantage of all the sights and activities that are right on our doorsteps. So why not combine this wonderful city of ours with meeting a fellow Swan for some dates. We’re taking dating out of the box (instead of meeting in a bar for a drink), read on for some inspirational ideas for something a little different.
Like adventure? Then why not hire a tandem kayak at Rose Bay and paddle over to Shark Island for a romantic picnic for two. Pack your swimmers, picnic and bottle of bubbles and you’re all sorted. Just don’t go too crazy on the bubbles when you get there or it could be an interesting paddle home…
Only a short hour drive from Sydney, is the amazing Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Hike around the track from Resolute to Mackerel beach (only accessible by boat) and these hidden gems will not disappoint. Explore the views and enjoy the nature with your fellow Swan and forget all the pressures that some people experience on those important first few dates.
There are more and more of these paint and sip studios popping up all over Sydney. Show off your creativity while getting a little tipsy and you might even end up with a painting to hang up at the end of the date. Best thing, it’s BYO you you won’t break the bank, even if find your career in painting ends after the date.
For the bargain price of $39, Seasydneyharbour.com.au offer sunset sparkle cruises around the harbour in a catamaran. What better way to finish a days work with a midweek date, and spend the evening sailing around the harbour soaking up the sunset while swirling down some BYO bubbles.
Shhhh this is actually Sydney’s best kept secret! Climbing the South East Pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge gives you almost the same harbour views as you get from climbing the main structure, but for a fraction of the cost. You do have to climb 200 steps to get there, but after the little burst of exercise, the views 87 meters above sea level are well worth it.
Watch the twinkly lights of Sydney Harbour as you ride the Wild Mouse, cuddle up in the Dodgems and share some candy floss at Sydney’s iconic Luna Park. The perfect date night for some good old fashioned fun.
The inner west is now bustling with cool hangouts - Willy the boatman, Batch Brewery, Stockade and many more. Make yourself feel like you are back in Blighty and take yourselves out on an old-school pub crawl. You can’t fail to have fun. Plus, a bunch of the breweries have food trucks to line your stomachs before sampling your way through the ales.
The Imperial Hotel in Erskinville is home to Priscillas, Drag N Dine, Sydney's most flamboyant and fabulous dinner show. Need we say more. Get yourself there for big wigs, big chests and great legs all round, there is something for all and laughs a plenty at these shows. It’s also a great to get to know your fellow Swan’s sense of humour, and that can never be a bad thing!
And there you have it. Reasons galore to get out into this wonderful city of ours and combine them with other Swans to kill two birds with one stone - enjoy!
