Sydney's Secret?
So I finally made it to The Mater Gardens, right by the hospital. It was... quieter than I expected. Gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but I kept half-expecting a massive, bustling market or something.… more

Evenings can be nice too, though possibly less crowded than the weekend daytime. The light's always good in Sydney though, so you'll probably still get great sketching conditions regardless.
That's a really good point about the weekdays vs. weekends. I hadn't considered the difference in atmosphere. I guess the weekend buzz makes sense for sketching – more life, more subjects. Thanks! Maybe I'll even try a Tuesday evening just to see the contrast.

You'll probably get better pictures from a distance, though the isolation vibe might be harder to nail. Maybe a long lens and a bit of patience from a safe vantage point would be your best bet.
