Top 10 Sydney Culture On this week 26/08/2018
Sing your heart out, Sydney. In the shower, we mean. We’ve got an arsenal of real singers for you this week and they’re far far superior.
10) Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
24th-31st August
I mean…no one really likes going to these things, but then again, everyone really likes the artistic and intellectual credit received by taking evidence that you’ve attended this thing. So here it is – the exhibition of a bunch of birds and insects and stuff that uh…what was it? Oh yeah: “showcases the timing, patience, artistry and technique of professional, emerging and junior photographers”.
9) The Sydney Teapot Show
24th August-16th September
Funny, isn’t it? Something that once sounded like your grandmothers special birthday surprise birthed directly from the loins of satan now sounds like the most brilliant opportunity to raise your social media stakes and stock up on your now seemingly woefully inadequate supply of morning-after one-night-stand vessels of breakfast superiority (by which of course we mean teapots).
