Oz Day Eats: The Ternary Restaurant @ Novotel Darling Harbour

The Ternary will be serving up delicious food all day, leading up to the fireworks in the evening. Here's what to expect, so you can organise your stomachs accordingly:

Breakfast: There'll be a full buffet breakfast on offer, plus live Indigenous music being performed from 8-10am.

Lunch/all day: The Ternary's Gourmet Bar has whipped up a special Australia Day menu featuring fresh prawns, buckets of beer and jugs of sangria with live music from 5.30pm until late.

Evening: Choose from two Aussie buffets. From 5-7pm, $65 ($25 for children under 12) will get you a traditional buffet, with the additional option of a seafood platter for two at $80. Then 7.30-9.30pm, Ternary's bringing out the big guns with an indulgent seafood buffet by the harbour, with a full view of the 8.30pm fireworks. That one's $110 per head ($45 for kids under 12).
