We interrupt your regular programming with a Completing Sydney Holiday Special.


For Muslims, Ramadan is a holy month where people fast during the day and only eat and drink at night. The post-fast meal (breakfast, if you will), is often characterised by great feasts with friends and family. 


If, like me, you're not a Muslim, you can still participate in the festivities by heading to Lakemba during the month of Ramadan for their becoming-famous Ramadan markets. I've held off on covering this suburb until I've had a chance to visit these markets (Covid has stepped on those plans the past couple of years), so I'm excited to check them out for myself.

This next suburb is kind of what this blog is all about. Sefton is an entirely unglamous suburb, but with a blue sky and some reasonable Sydney public transport, even a stroll through Western Sydney's forgotten pockets can be a perfectly enjoyable time.

This next suburb is interesting for being both in the Inner West as well as the Southwest, straddling both sides of the Cooks River.
