With Sydney University just around the corner and various other colleges, venues and galleries, Newtown is home to the greatest collection of students, musicians and artists in Australia. Billabong Gardens is located in the middle of all the action quietly tucked away in a side street just 50 meters of King Street, Sydney's epicentre of cafes, restaurants, pubs, cheap eats, funky nightlife and live music venues!
