Sydney
& New South Wales
One
thing's for certain - you'll run out of time before you run
out of things to see and do in Sydney and New South Wales
A
jewel of a harbour
Sydney's sparkling harbour is the jewel in
the city's crown. It's flanked by golden beaches and bushland,
and bisected by one of the most famous bridges in the world.
Islands sprinkle its waters, and it's crisscrossed by all
manner of craft. Take a water taxi, yacht, tour boat or ferry
and explore the world famous harbour.
 Sydney
Opera House
The Opera House is one of the world's premier performing arts
centres. Why not board a water-taxi and be whisked across
one of the world's most beautiful harbours to the distinctive
white shells of the Sydney Opera House? It's the ultimate
Sydney night out!
 The
climb of your life
From the moment your BridgeClimb safety harness
is snapped onto Sydney's beloved bridge, you're in for the
climb of your life! Weave through catwalks and up ladders.
Stop to hear your expert guide's fascinating commentary. Reach
the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and take in the dramatic
360 degree bird's eye view from the Blue Mountains to the
Pacific Ocean.
 Superb
city beaches
With more than 70 uncrowded beaches within
easy reach of its cosmopolitan heart, Sydney is a mecca for
sun worshippers and surfers. From famous ocean beaches like
Bondi to Manly, to less well-known strips of golden sand,
you'll be spoiled for choice.
 Dining
and drinks – Sydney's dining scene
reflects its multicultural diversity and willingness to embrace
new things. While many gourmet restaurants feature outstanding
harbour views and flavourful combinations, a plentiful cafe
society thrives in Sydney's inner precincts and beaches. Paddington
and Balmain have flourishing pub-dining scenes and quality
food is also on offer at historic pubs in The Rocks.
 Shop
around - Sydney's brilliant markets
from Balmain to Bondi offer an eclectic array of food, fashion
and ambience. For more formal fashion, Double Bay is the place.
Oxford Street, Paddington features the funkiest designers
and Pitt Street Mall is a retail heaven.

Sydney Opera House
Sydney
Sunny, sexy and sophisticated, Sydney basks in its
worldwide recognition as the shining star of the southern
hemisphere. The white-sailed Sydney Opera House, caught mid-billow
over the waters of Sydney Cove, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge
are the pride and joy, but there's far more on offer.
Blue Mountains, NSW

The Blue Mountains is one of the most spectacular
wilderness parks in Australia . Less than a 90 minute drive
from Sydney, the world heritage listed park stretches over
3,800 square miles and is an inspiring mix of rainforest,
canyons, heathlands and tall forests. These richly forested
hills superb bushwalking, scenic drives and adventure activities,
as well as historic towns built from timber and stone.

houses dozens of major wineries and boutique vineyards. A
peaceful area of lush valleys and hills, offering cosy guest
houses, resorts, and some of Australia's best restaurants.

breakfast, tee off at world-class golf courses, or take a
leisurely cycle or guided walk through the countryside? |
