That time of year is a bit of a dead zone for sport, the cricket has finished but the rugby league and AFL hasn't started. Super Rugby is very much a distant 3rd in terms of spectators and general interest – rugby is on life support in Australia. The Shute Shield (Sydney suburban rugby comp) is considered more entertaining and with a better atmosphere than Super Rugby these days, but doesn't start until April and doesn't have mid-week games.
For ferries, if you don't want to go all the way to Manly then a trip to Watsons Bay with beer and lunch at the Watsons Bay Hotel is a great way to spend an afternoon.
We had some friends from overseas in Sydney over Christmas and booked them into Mrs Banks Hotel (thankfully they're as unexcited at being a house guest as I am
). They were very impressed with it. It's a converted old bank building, which I assume is where the name comes from. You certainly won't be struggling for dining options.
