Pop-ups and road trips 'are hot tips' for Sydney in 2010

The New South Wales (NSW) tourist board has come up with some suggestions of how to spend holidays in Australia.

According to the organisation, one of the hottest new trends next year will be the pop-up.

Described as a new breed of venue - ranging from restaurants to cinemas and even galleries - pop-ups are temporary structures that appear for a short time around the city.

Tourism NSW advised travellers to "keep a close eye out for them". Shipping containers, warehouses and vacant lots are particularly popular locations, it said.

Christmas cheer comes to Sydney

People taking holidays in Sydney during the festive period may find it strange to be in the sunshine while the UK freezes.

A free event in the city's Botanical Gardens may be just the thing to get travellers in the mood for Christmas.

Carols in the Domain is a giant, outdoor, candle-lit carol service followed by fireworks over the distinctive skyline.

More than 100,000 people attend the event each year - which is broadcast on television - to sing along to well-known tunes.

Stars such as Ronan Keating and Katherine Jenkins will be headlining the show, which raises money for the Salvation Army and its Oasis Youth Support Network.

The celebrations kick off at 12:00 local time on Saturday December 19th.

Russell Crowe challenges journalist to cycling race in Sydney

According to reports, the star saw comments made by Sydney Daily Telegraph journalist Annette Sharp claiming that he skipped an exercise session for a cigarette and a taco and responded by challenging her to a bike race to prove his fitness.

So, last week, Crowe and Ms Sharp met face-to-face for a 12-mile bike ride across Sydney, which the mother-of-three lost and was subsequently made to eat her own words.
