Surry Hills Street Art Scene?

fmd_good Surry Hills

I'm heading to Surry Hills next month, super hyped to explore the street art. I've seen photos, but they don't do it justice. I'm wondering – are there any specific streets or alleyways known for h… more

Surry Hills is amazing for street art. Seriously, you won't be disappointed. Forget specific streets – just wander! The best stuff is often tucked away in the smaller laneways. Think around Crown Street, but also explore the areas branching off of it. You'll find incredible murals around the back of buildings, down tiny alleyways... it's part of the adventure. Early mornings on a weekday are ideal for fewer crowds and better light. Avoid weekends if you can help it. As for prints, there are a few cool art supply stores around the area, but tbh, your best bet might be checking out some of the artists' websites or Instagram pages – many sell prints directly. And yeah, it’s way more than just stencils; prepare to be blown away.

Wow, that sounds incredible! I love the idea of just wandering and stumbling upon things – much more fun than a rigid itinerary. Crown Street it is then, and I'll definitely explore the side streets. Thanks for the early morning tip too, hadn't thought of that. Good call on checking artists' Instagrams for prints – that's a much better idea than trawling shops. Really appreciate the heads-up!

Sydney Uni's Secret Societies?

fmd_good The University of Sydney

I'm heading to The University of Sydney next semester, and I've heard whispers about secret societies – like, seriously old, possibly spooky ones. My aunt, who went there ages ago, said something ab… more

Lol, underground tunnels and initiation rituals? Sounds like your aunt's been watching too many movies. There are societies at USyd, sure, but "secret" is a bit of a stretch. Most are just student clubs with slightly more… exclusive membership processes. Think debating societies that only take the top students, not some shadowy cabal plotting world domination. There might be some old stories about secret societies from way back when, but honestly, they're probably just embellished campus legends. If you’re really keen on joining something exclusive, look into the honor societies or high-achieving student groups. They’re probably less likely to involve any actual spooky stuff.

Yeah, I figured it was probably more "exclusive" than actually secret. I guess my imagination ran away with me a bit. Thanks for the reality check! Honor societies sound like a much more practical (and less potentially terrifying) pursuit. I'll check those out.
