Sydney What to Expect

Lane cove is a quite suburb 10 km from the heart of Sydney . I you are in the area the Lane Cove River tourist park is a must do. The Tourist Park is a gateway to a multitude of tourist attractions and activities at other National Park’s in the area. Take a bushwalk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and see Aboriginal rock engravings and hand stencils by the Guringai people. Climb up to the beautifully restored Barrenjoey Lighthouse at Palm Beach to experience one of Sydney ’s most breathtaking views. Cruise the waters of Pittwater by ferry and enjoy its steepsided river valleys and coastal stretches. Buy souvenirs, books, toys and posters featuring Australian native and cultural heritage at the Bobbin Head Information Centre. From the Tourist Park you can walk or drive into the National Park to enjoy a lunchtime picnic or barbecue at one of 35 picnic sites. Hire a rowboat and paddle along the tranquil Lane Cove River , or mountain bike along 40kms of designated bushland maintenance trails. Show the kids injured wildlife in rehabilitation at Kukundi Wildlife Shelter. Or watch them at play while enjoying coffee and cake at the riverside café. The best restaurant for me in Lane Cove is a small Italian restaurant called “Carlo’s Place”. It is located at the top of Longueville Road in Lane Cove. The place is run by a jolly and jovial Italian named Carlo who is also the Master Chef and is ably assisted by his wife Sonia. Great food, lovely ambience, small place but has a very homely feel to it, allround good experience.

Clovelly is a convenient stop on the Bondi-Coogee Cliffside Beachwalk. (allow a full day.) If you are staying in a hostel which provides a "Goodie Bag" you will have a free drink coupon for the Clovelly Hotel. The Beach itself is more of a 'bay' but has a good mostly enclosed area that is good for kids to swim in. There are lots of nice cafes in the area, and although I haven't been there myself yet, I have heard very good things about the one directly accross the street from the Clovelly Hotel.

My favourite city. Where to start?
Harbour Bridge climb the ferries are a great way to get around
Taronga Zoo if you have kids
the market on The Rocks on a Sunday Manly beach on a sunny day
Doyle's fish restaurants, the one at Watson's Bay is my favourite the grass area near the ferry stop at McMahon's Point Enjoy.

Hmmm where to begin? Sydney is a fabulous city, not only because it's on the coast and has the Opera House as a trademark but simply because it is still at a stage where we can call it a metropolitan city but isn't yet so terribly congested. And that is truly the beauty of the city, with lots of green and recreational areas.

But now to some insider tips:
- Do the Harbour Bridge Climb (it's breathtaking)
-Visit the Rocks and eat out in Darling Harbour (the atmosphere is great and relaxed): Restaurant recommendations: Angus Steak House, Jordan's seafood restaurant
- Take the monorail to get around town: Oh at the QVB exit there's an enormous bookshop (if you're looking for a book, they most probably will have it): Kinokunya Bookshop
- Stop at Star City, the QVB (old shopping arcade)
- Visit Tarronga Zoo
- Head to Bondi Beach for a weekend on the beach!

Sydney... I find Sydney a great and exciting city with so much to offer. The harbour is one of my favourite places to hang out on the water or catch a ferry over to Manly. But a good way to see the harbour is the catch the city ferry that does a 2 hour tour of the harbour and little inlets and some interesting facts. A nice city to walk around ( the Botanical gardens and Opera house ) and always feel safe.

Try going around the city by bike. You can go with a group bike tour (complete with a rented bike, helmet and tour guide) or you can rent your own bike. Its safe, it affords you to see much more of the city, its environment friendly and its good for your health.

Sdyney - Australia's largest city,the capital city of New South Wales. Place must go -- Sky Tower + OZ Trek, Sdyney Aquarium, Hunter Valley Winery, Hunter Valley Gardens, Port Stephens, Dolphin Watch Cruise, 4 wheel Drive Sand Dune Sand Toboganning.

If you plan to travel to Sydney, you should visit Terri Irwin's zoo in Queensland cos she is best owner in the world!

Its an AMAZING PLACE however its some what harsh. I would suggest sun screen as a MUST.

A wonderful civilized country, I just love the whole place. Aussies give yourself a well deserved pat on the back!!!!!!!!!

Sydney is hot as it get but you can't get into bars if you are wearing sandals. Good idea but poorly communicated to tourists.
