The weekend offers up another one of life's many balancing acts. Do too much and come Monday you'll feel like you never left the office. Do too little and you'll be vainly wishing it was Friday again. To strike the right balance, we've compiled a list of activities, events and places to help plan your weekend. And for the more spontaneous types, take this as your very own on-a-whim list of options.
Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in the annual Archibald, Wynn and Sulman Prizes at AGNSW. Don russian red to sit in the stands at Anna Karenina. Or wander through your local farmers' market, there's something here for everyone.
