- Trail582510544432 contributionsVisiting the Sydney Cricket Ground on 3rd January for the thrilling Pak vs Aus Test Match was an absolute highlight of our trip! The atmosphere was electric, and watching the game with friends made it even more memorable. We booked a group transfer with Aussie Baby Taxi, the best cab service in Sydney, and they provided a seamless and comfortable ride to and from the stadium. Highly recommend both the SCG and Aussie Baby Taxi for an unforgettable experience in Sydney!Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- harrodsfanNewport Beach, CA298 contributionsThis was a charming abet small market. I thought it would be a lot bigger. Easy to get to on the bus. A variety of booths from clothing to jewelry, to fruits and vegetables and a small but vibrant group of stalls with food to eat. I just thought it would be bigger. I did find a booth with knit clothing and ended up buying two knit dresses and a top and slacks. It was called Matea. The salesperson/designer was delightful and I have already worn two of the pieces. There is an online shop too.Written February 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

An informative tour around the grounds and pointed out some historical parts not often seen. There are guns on display from the earliest dates of settlement after the First Fleet arrived. The well is an interesting part of the history, with the depth at roughly 60 feet. There are not many military establishments that have heritage listed graffiti.
As previous posts have mentioned, tours are available, generally on a Thursday or a weekend. There are just some hoops to jump through.Written February 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mairwen1United Kingdom10,641 contributionsMost people will visit the grounds of this heritage-listed church on Saturdays when it hosts the Paddington Market. The market has been something of an institution here since 1973.
Markets aside, the church is one of several well-preserved historic buildings along Oxford Street, Paddington.
Nearby you’ll also find the Paddington Town Hall (1891), Victoria Barracks (1841 – 1848), Paddington General Post Office (1885) and the Reservoir Gardens (1866), all of which can be seen within a 10 minute walk.
The Uniting Church was opened in 1877, replacing an earlier, smaller, weatherboard church. Built of finely dressed ashlar sandstone, with a slate roof, it was designed by Thomas Rowe in the Victorian Romanesque style.
Rowe, started off as a gold-miner but found real success as an architect, becoming was one of the most successful architects in 19th century Sydney. He left his mark in grand buildings all over the city including the Great Synagogue, Prince of Wales Hospital, Newington College and Sydney Hospital.Written April 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CasandraTPSydney, Australia3,188 contributionsSituated on Oxford Street and relatively close enough to the sports stadium it is a good pub to meet before or after a game. There is a small brewery out the back and has a lively feel about it.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,100 contributionsVery old school, has not been modernized with fancy seats. The main theater, number one, is big enough to have good sound. They show good films here.Written April 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bec FSydney, Australia11 contributionsThere is NO other shoe boutique in Sydney like this store! My favourite are the Chie Mihara's - very retro but the craftsmanship is outstanding. I've bought 3 pairs from this lovely store. And forget snobby sale assistants; this is a husband and wife team who are just so lovely.
love love love this amazing shop!!!Written October 19, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
