Ivy Pool Club - Fashion show for 2010



Kash and Clare O’Hara launched - 8 Dec - their ‘Travel the World by Sea’ Resort Collection 2010 at the IVY Pool Bar in Sydney in front of several hundred guests, a plethora of photographers and some very cute sailor boys.

The IVY Pool waters glistended and the rain held off as models navigated around the water borne catwalk showing the eyecatching high end women’s apparel.

With a nautically inspired theme this is a very wearable range and is sure to be seen gracing many other ‘pool’s and parties around town in the coming months.

Ivy Pool Club


Summer in Sydney. The Ivy Pool Club at George St is either your ideal summer drinking locale or your idea of hell, depending on who you are, how much money you have and how comfortable you are in swimwear. It is, without a doubt, one of the most stylish spots to drink a cocktail and there's no denying it. The centrepiece is the turquoise pool that glitters during the day with private cabanas filled with yellow Thonet chairs and big fat cusions framing it. There are big lounges to recline on or you can take a seat on the little concrete island under a big yellow beach umbrella. Otherwise, prop up the bar and drink some of head bartender Mikey Enright's cocktails – a seasonal list with plenty of poolside fun.

Of course, if you want some privacy or simply to dance around in your togs, there's always the Ivy Changeroom downstairs - the club that's as much a shower fantasy (none of the doors locks properly, each can house at least five people and every room has a mirror ball and shower head) as it is a bar.

Getting into the Ivy Pool Club is relatively easy if you're eight feet tall and built like Twiggy. For all you regular folk, you'll need a loyalty card and they're rarer than hen's teeth. In fact, they've actually stopped releasing them for the year. If all else fails, head up to Italian restaurant Uccello that borders the club and press your nose up against the glass to watch the beautiful people frolic.

Polish Christmas Festival

Po dwuletniej przerwie reaktywowany został w Sydney "Polish Christmas Festival" – największa polska impreza festynowa organizowana w centrum stolicy Nowej Południowej Walii . Mimo, że ma krótką historię - pierwszy festiwal odbył się w 2003 roku - jest to najbardziej popularne polonijne wydarzenie w Australii. Festiwal jest wyjątkową okazją do pokazania polskich zwyczajów, tradycji, muzyki, tańców oraz oczywiście jadła i picia rodowitym Australijczykom.

Przy pięknej letniej słonecznej pogodzie w Tumbalong Park na Darling Harbour, w spektakularnym miejscu weekendowych spotkań sydnejczyków i odwiedzających miasto turystów, od przedpołudnia rozbrzmiewała polska muzyka włącznie z południowym hejnałem marjackim. Można było tu zobaczyć występy bardzo zaangażowanych w podtrzymywanie polskich tradycji kulturalnych przedstawicieli miejscowej Polonii, posmakować wyrobów polskiej kuchni z bigosem, kiełbasą i pierogami na czele, oraz ugasić pragnienie po upalnym dniu popijając polskie Zamkowe i Wareckie piwo.
