Foodies’ Diary
Sunday 02nd August, 2009: Southern Highlands Foodie Tour
Sunday 23rd August, 2009: Cabramatta Tour
Fancy discovering some of Sydney’s more hidden treasures, but a little daunted by Cabramatta’s foreign feel? Urban Graze Food Tours will take you (in a deluxe Mini Coach) to a bunch of places you probably couldn’t get to alone, to eat, buy and ogle specialty foods. There’s lots on offer, including a foodies tour through Sydney’s ‘Vietnam’, Cabramatta, and the Southern Highlands Foodie Tour which takes you to an abandoned tunnel where they now grow exotic mushrooms. www.urbangraze.com.au
