After a huge plane journey from England you would be glad to land just about anywhere in the world, but when you step out of the plane into Syndey, you realise that the long wait was more than worth it. Sydney is the capital of New Soth Wales, not Australia as i had been led to believe, however it may aswel be. Sydney is iconic in itslef, you think of Australia and you imagine the Opera house with Tower bridge, as pictured above, Sydney optimises Australia. Im from a quiet town and dislike the citys, however when i first went to Sydney i just knew that this would be different. It is quite busy, nowhere near as busy as London and the like, but busy ...  Read the complete review

Once in the city the train system connects you to pretty much ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sydney- the cleanest city in the world (916 words)

From the moment you step foot in this city there is something special about it, although maybe I was bias as I had wanted desperately to go to Australia for years. Set around a beautiful harbour on the southern part of the east coast of Australia, Sydney is the cleanest city I have ever visited. When working out where to stay, the closer you can get to the harbour the better as this is where the city really comes into its own. Though be aware, the closer to the harbour the more expensive everything becomes, especially restaurants. If you're on a budget though, Australia has lots of cheep but perfectly decent youth hostels. Apparently us Brits always give ...  Read the complete review
