Australia Day is Upon Us! Stay the night at Cambridge Hotel Sydney

Australia Day....a day of reflection, a day to recognise the history of this wonderful country, a day to celebrate everything Australian!
If anywhere does Australia Day well, Sydney does! If you're not sure how to enjoy the day too it's max...here's a plan we put together for you!

Wugulora Morning Ceremony
26th January 7:45 am - 8:30 am
Walumil Lawns at Barangaroo Reserve
Head down to Barangaroo Reserve bright and early to witness the world's oldest culture. The Koomurri Aboriginal Dance Troupe will perform a smoking ceremony, followed by the singing of the national anthem as the Aboriginal and Australian flags are raised on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Ferrython
26th January 10:45 am - 11:30 am
Sydney Harbour
Pack a picnic and head down to the Harbour foreshore to cheer on your favourite ferry in the annual Sydney Ferrython. The race starts at Circular Quay and heads to Shark Island before heading back to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The best vantage points include Bradfield Park, Blues Point, Hicksons Road Reserve, Overseas Passenger Terminal, & of course the Sydney Opera House.

Salute to Australia & Harbour Parade
26th January 11:30am - 2:00pm
Sydney Harbour
The HMAS Choules will appear to a stirring 21-gun military salute from Bradfield Park. You can then join a crowd of epic choirs from across NSW to sing our national anthem and watch the sky come alive as RAAF fast jets soar over the harbour. This is shortly followed by a parade of boats of all shapes and sizes covered in flags and bright colours...a site to be seen for sure!

Australia Day Live 2019
26th January 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Sydney Opera House Forecourt & Circular Quay
Sydney sure knows how to put on a show and the Australia Day Live concert will be sure to top off your day with a bang...literally! Enjoy live music (and displays from jet skis, fly boards and anything else they can find) from Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Jon Stevens, Ricki-Lee, Anthony Callea, Karise Eden, Kate Ceberano & Conrad Sewell. The night will close to the sound of a huge fireworks display (because we all know Australia loves a firework or two) and a breathtaking light show across the harbour.

Stay the night?
So now you've done Australia day right, why not stay the night and make the most of your long weekend!
