Looking for a screen-free, creative school holiday outing that will truly inspire your kids? Head to Customs House in the city and explore the Little Sydney Lives Retrospective—a heartwarming exhibition that showcases six years of prize-winning photographs, all taken by children aged 3 to 12.
This free exhibition is a beautiful celebration of childhood curiosity, creativity, and imagination. The photographs, many of them captured using just a phone, reveal how children view their world—from quiet moments in nature to joyful family snapshots.
Not only is this a great cultural experience, it’s also a fun way to spark your child’s interest in photography and storytelling. After viewing the exhibition, why not encourage your child to go on their own photo adventure with your phone? Whether it’s snapping their favourite playground, their pet, or a special moment at the beach, it’s a great way to see the world through their eyes.
