Tluxe Blog — Cockatoo Island

Get out and about if you’re in Sydney this weekend and grab some fresh air, sunshine and a little artistic inspiration. If you fancy the beach, stroll along the cliff-tops from Bondi to Tamarama to experience Sculpture by the Sea (pictured directly above). Our advice? Get there early to avoid the crowds, take in the art, and finish up with a dip in the ocean, and breakfast in Bronte. Could there be a better way to start the day?

If you’re more of a late riser, your other outdoor art option is the Outpost street art event that’s taken over Cockatoo Island. Not only is there some great works from both local and international artists, including some never-seen-before works by the famous Banksy, you get to enjoy the harbour views and even a cheeky cocktail or two as the sun sets, care of the island’s Ping Pong bar, which is open until 9pm Friday and 10pm Saturday. Don't you just love the sunshine of summer?
