Tell an Aussie Check, mate in Hyde Park

 

Australian locum assignments offer individuals the chance to explore the abundant parks of this friendly country. Public parks in regions like Sydney are the ideal places for locals, tourists, and temporary residents to meet and interact with each other.

In Hyde Park, local "Sydneysiders," as they're commonly called, claim one of the many park benches and hang out during their lunch breaks, or recruit a group of friends on the weekend to engage in outdoor activities. The public venue is a green oasis in the middle of the city, complete with fountains, fig tree-lined pathways, war memorials and more.

A break from the concrete jungle of the city, the grassy park is a popular location for individuals who play chess in their free time. Players of all ages match up in weekly competitions in the general meeting place to test their mental capacity and strategy tactics. 

The park is so well known for its chess matches that officials installed a giant outdoor chess set at the northern end of the park in the Nagoya Gardens. On warm spring and summer days, children visit the monument with their grandparents and challenge them to an interactive, life-sized game. Individuals on locum assignments can find themselves a competitor and start up a new hobby to keep them entertained in their free time.
