Music by Moonlight
If you want to, one can just follow the Sydney social calendar and your Fridays can be filled with free entertainment and cultural experience. For the past 3 weeks, we’ve been spending our Friday nights at the “Overflow” in the Sydney Olympic Park for the yearly Music by Moonlight Concert.
Western Explorer Ride
