Mothers Day in Sydney can be a very special day for your loving mother and for the whole family aswell. It's time to celebrate Mums! In Sydney families celebrate Mothers Day on the second Sunday in May each year. The Sydney May Autumn weather is normally mild and lovely to get out and about for the day. And with such a gorgeous city such as Sydney it's always good to take mum out.
A great celebration incorporating the fabulous Sydney Harbour with either dining out or some play ideas. For dining it could be lunch or dinner and for play why not get out on the waters of Sydney Harbour or the great parks and gardens. We've got some great ideas of things to do with your Mum this Mothers Day.
