EXPLORE SYDNEY

PLAY: Frank Gehry architecture It is a tad touristy, but there’s no better way to see the city’s architecture than by bike. Join one of the Three Suburbs Central tours that go via Jean Nouvel, Durbach Block Jaggers and Frank Gehry, whose business school (far left) is a modern classic. sydneyarchitecture.org EAT: Sepia Restaurant Named Restaurant of the Year 2015 by Gault&Millau Australia, it reopened in January, after a month long closure with a new

nine course tasting menu. sepiarestaurant.com.au

DRINK: Firedoor Phil McElroy’s cocktails at Lennox Hastie’s renowned restaurant are legendary. Try the signature Magnolia Acuminata (vodka, vermouth, grilled cucumber and lime). Also look out for the wine list, curated by Master of Wine, Ned Goodwin. firedoor.com.au

PLAY: Royal Randwick Host to one of the world’s richest horse races, the $4m Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes, this is horseracing at its best. Reserve the Royal Randwick Suite or, if you prefer to be in the thick of it, order a picnic, which includes superb smoked lamb with garlic aioli. australianturfclub.com.au
