Four fun secrets of Sidney
- Take a bath at the Korean Ginseng Bath House. An Asian-style hammam, the baths consist of three pools of varying temperatures: cold, hot and dip-a-toe-in-andwatchit-go-beetroot-boiling. Lie back in the foaming ginseng-laced waters and, once suitably stewed, submit yourself to a Korean scrubbing performed with stones and warm water. Follow it all up with a shiatsu massage. The Crest Hotel Relaxation Centre, 1st Floor, Darlinghurst Road, Kings Cross (9356 6603). Entry, skin scrub and massage, £35.
- Catch a movie at Govinda's, a tiny boutique cinema run by Hare Krishnas. Before the film, cherry pick your supper from the vegan Indian buffet. You can eat it with cold white wine (BYO) on the terrace overlooking Darlinghurst Street and then sink back on to velveteen floor-cushions in the cinema upstairs. 112 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst (9380 5155). Films start 7.30pm and 9.30pm. Tickets on the door for movie and buffet cost £6.
- Attend a yoga class at the Tamarama Surf Club, a salt-streaked building on a cliff edge overlooking the Tasman Sea. Afterwards, head to the caf? below for a fresh mango smoothie on the beach. 1997 UBD Street, Iyengar classes, Mon, Wed & Thurs 6.30-8pm, Tues 10-11.30am, £6. 4: Space out at Sydney Observatory, where the resident astrologists run classes. Learn how to make your own rocket, toast marshmallows on a solar barbecue and, at night, take photos of the moon. Sydney Observatory, Observatory Hill, The Rocks (92514 431). Night viewing from £4.
