Looking for a local holiday this year? Don\u2019t let the international lockdown stop you from getting your fix of wanderlust. There are so many things to do in Sydney, one of the most culturally diverse cities on the planet, that you can \u2018travel the world\u2019 right here on Australia\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism Australia has been encouraging Aussies to \u2018holiday here this year<\/a>\u2019 and many of us have been looking for domestic holiday ideas. Home to over 250 different nationalities, the multicultural city of Sydney is the perfect place to take a domestic trip while experiencing a taste of what life is like all across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From \u2018Little Italy\u2019 in Leichhardt and Petersham\u2019s \u2018Little Portugal\u2019, to indigenous tours tracing over 30,000 years of Aboriginal culture, we\u2019ve put together our favourite local experiences and Sydney travel tips so you can connect with the city in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take an Aboriginal Heritage Tour in the Royal Botanic Gardens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Botanic Garden\u2019s is one of the most beautiful places in Sydney and you can learn a lot about the area\u2019s Indigenous traditional owners of the land there, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Sydney walking tour here will give you an opportunity to try traditional bush tucker, including tree bark, nuts and vegetables and you\u2019ll learn how the wattle plant helped the local Cadigal people determine when to start whale hunting season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a pen and paper in case you want to try sketching any of the native plants and flowers along the way. The guides are friendly and you\u2019ll get lots of opportunity to ask questions on this 1.5 hour Sydney nature tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tours begin at the Information Centre at the Garden Shop every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 10am and can be booked online.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also experience Cadigal history at your own pace with a stroll across the Cadi Jam Ora walk, a 50-metre garden display that tells the story of the First Farm set up by Indigenous owners. This important part of Aboriginal history is not to be missed!<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
