Things To Do Around Sydney

Welcome to SYDNEY, voted twice now as the most beautiful city in the world. Sydney has the tallest buildings, the most expensive real estate, the finest beaches and the best nightlife of any Australian city.

Visiting Sydney is an essential part of any Australian experience. The whole of the city is abuzz with activity with the lead up to the Olympic Games to be held in September 2000.

Sydney, a city with a stunning Opera House, overlooking a vibrant, beautiful harbour. A city which has more than 30 golden beaches stretching north and south, all within 20 minutes of the city centre. With a climate that never really gets cold, life in Sydney is spent outdoors, walking, sightseeing and relaxing in delightful cafes and restaurants overlooking glistening blue waters.

Over recent years a number of historic buildings and areas have been tastefully developed and restored such as Paddington in the Eastern Suburbs, now protected by the National Trust, with its steeply sloping, tree-lined streets crammed with rows of late 19th century houses, trendy art galleries, boutiques and antique shops. The historic, harbourside Rocks Area, site of Australia's first European settlement, encompasses elegantly restored buildings offering a wide variety of restaurants, entertainment venues and specialty shops. Darling Harbour, formerly a dockland area, has undergone a multi-million dollar transformation into a harbourside complex of shops, restaurants and parks encompassing a Chinese Garden and the Sydney Aquarium.

Travelling around is easy by bus, train or ferry and a cruise on Sydney's spectacular harbour is the ideal orientation tour of this fabulous city. For those fortunate to have a few days to spare, hire a car or take a tour for a scenic drive to the fine wine producing area of the Hunter Valley, or through the many picturesque towns and villages famous for their antique curio and craft shops, then on to the Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves.

Below are some links to sites with as much information about this beautiful city and its surrounds as you could possibly need.

We hope that if you are about to embark on a holiday to this wonderful country, that you have time to browse through this site, totally dedicated to letting people know about the wonders of this country. Even people who have left Australia, never really leave. As quoted in the song by our famous singer, Peter Allen, "I still call Australia...HOME".
