Big changes are coming to Darling Harbour with the massive $891-million Cockle Bay Wharf redevelopment greenlit for its 3-year transformation. While early site works are ticking along, the main waterfront dining strip on the east side is still open and trading for now.
With so many massive overlapping builds happening around the bay, when do you think we will see the heavy structural demolition and full-scale work kick off on the Cockle Bay Wharf side?

G'day crew! The next episode of the 'This is how I get to' series is officially LIVE on the channel now! 🎥⛵️We are skipping the standard light rail and hopping on Sydney's smallest public ferry from Barangaroo straight into Blackwattle Bay, finished with a great scenic walk along the Glebe foreshore to the new $836M Sydney Fish Market co-op.

Curiosity Starts Here! 🎭✨

September is officially here, which means the Sydney Fringe Festival is taking over the city! As New South Wales' largest independent arts festival, this year's lineup is massive, featuring over 350 events and 2,000+ incredible independent artists across more than 60 venues.
Whether you love theatre, comedy, music, or completely unexpected immersive experiences, there is truly something weird, wonderful, and creative to discover around every corner this month.
Here are a few major programme highlights to keep on your radar:
📍Fool’s Paradise (The Entertainment Quarter): A spectacular, multi-week hub filled with jaw-dropping circus acts, cabaret, and physical comedy. Don't miss The Return of the Godz, which completely re-envisions Greek mythology through epic acrobatics and theatrical stunts.
📍Yalgali First Nations Programme: A brilliant and growing celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytelling. Key highlights include Toni Janke’s poetic new musical work Inheritance and Elaine Crombie’s brilliant blend of comedy and song, Grief, Love and Lead Balloons.
📍FEAST (Hurstville Entertainment Centre): Where food and comedy collide! Comedian Jennifer Wong hosts this acclaimed dinner-and-storytelling series, this year featuring a home-style Malaysian dinner served up by MasterChef favourite Sarah Tiong.
📍The Queer Hub (Qtopia Sydney): A month of pride-led magic and powerful LGBTQIA+ storytelling, including the Sydney debut of the award-winning, LA-touring show Queen Out (Verb).
It’s the absolute best time of the year to support our incredible local independent arts sector and experience Sydney from a totally different perspective.

Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the severe flash flooding and mudslides that hit the Nepal-Tibet border region this week. Entire villages have been heavily impacted, and rescue operations are currently underway in incredibly difficult conditions. This hits especially close to home for our channel, as our very first community member is from Nepal.
If you'd like to show him some support, you can visit his channel here: youtube.com/@xiaoliinnxinxilan?si=7_mHdBb8mCbI4Yp_.
We are keeping him and his loved ones in our thoughts and hoping his family and friends are safe and secure. If you want to drop a message of support, please leave some love in the comments below. For those looking for ways to directly help the ongoing humanitarian and relief efforts on the ground, organisations like the Red Cross are actively providing emergency shelter and aid. 🇳🇵 🦘😊
