I love to get to know an interesting neighborhood when visiting a big city. Newtown is a creative, fun and slightly edgy area in Sydney known for its' preserved Victorian architecture, street art and it's lively, friendly food and bar scene. There is lots of live music, quirky bars (they call hotels) and the population there is the largest LGBTQ community in Sydney. It's young and vibrant with the University of Sydney right there. Great if you want a place with personality over polish!
Above is some of the creative Street Art we saw. And below shows the Neighborhood with Victorian remains and preservation.
Yummy Food we sampled and more of the Neighborhood.
After Food tour, we went to St Joseph's for Ash Wednesday Service. They were so nice and welcoming & Mass in English!
