Sydney
The first time I visited this iconic city will always remain memorable! We
walked from Kings Cross down to Woolloomooloo and up through Potts Point… The
moment we reached the top of the hill the stunning view of Harbour Bridge and
Sydney Opera House unfolded in front of us, it actually took my breath
away!!!!!

tip: Grab at
snack at Harry’s café de wheels, serves pies and mash at the road side in
Woolloomooloo. Lots of famous celebrities have stopped by too!
There is so much to do and see in Sydney it’s impossible to fit
everything in if your limited for time. I’ve narrowed down what I deem are the
best bits……
The best way to experience Sydney Harbour is from the water. Explore its
Islands by ferry or take a thrilling jet boat ride.
Climb Sydney Harbour Bride
Interesting fact: Before Paul Hogan (from the movie Crocodile Dundee)
became famous, he worked on the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a painter
Head to the world famous Bondi Beach, watch the life guards in action
then take the Bondi to Coogee Trail. Starting at Bondi Iceberg rock pool the
walk has amazing views taking in Tamarama Beach and then onto Coogee Beach.
Travel from Circular Quay on a ferry to Manly, takes
approx 30 minutes. Wander through native bushland on the scenic Manly to Spit
Bridge walk. Explore the shops, bars and cafes along the bustling pine tree-lined
promenade. The ferry ride alone is on of Sydney’s signature travel experiences.
Don’t miss the Rocks, full of history and cobbled laneways. Just 5
minutes from Circular Quay you can take walking tours and discover its past,
including ghost tours. Historic workmans cottages, art galeries, hotels with
harbour views and Sydney’s oldest pub are all worth a visit too!
Explore
Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens, free guided walking tours through the 30
hectare site. Home to thousands of fruit bats, watch them take flight around
the city come sunset!
Hire a car and head
north from Sydney to Hunter Valley, it’s a 2 hour drive. With 120 wineries on
offer, sampling wines and fine dining whilst seeing the Australian countryside.
Free city tours are available and a great way to find your bearings!
Head to Town Hall Square for the meeting point, operates twice daily.
Most cruise companies offer excursions in and around Sydney. Or this is
an ideal pre cruise hotel stay (recommend 3 nights minimum).
