Parks & Nature
A beautiful park for a nice run/walk, you can see horses and ducks in the ponds. There is a great new kid area as well. Check out the bat colony in the trees around Lachlan Swamp, but walk out for the poo! There is also a Moonlight Cinema happening over the summer which is a very nice experience and BYO.

Shopping
These are at the Paddington Primary School and are on just Saturdays but really great for Australian made clothes, jewelry, arts, and crafts. This is the place for authentic souvenirs! It is really easy to find too as it is straight up Oxford Street. If you don’t want to walk up the hill, it will be quite easy to find buses going that way.
