Sydney Harbour National Park Reviews

As I arrive, i'm fatigued by cantankerous immigration staff, an extorionate chocolate milk and the sweetest (not neccesarily nice), most expensive do-nuts i've ever had the mispleasure of eating, all while waiting for the bus to the hostel on a bitterly cold Sydney morning. A half moon is still visible. There's not a cloud in the sky. I ...  Read the complete review

From September to December 2005 I was seconded to a suburb of Sydney, Australia which, as secondments go, was a pretty juicy one for a 23 year old to land. As readers of my other pieces will attest to I got out and about in Australia during my time there, but since Sydney was the place I was working 4 days per week, every week, I also got to spend ...  Read the complete review

I landed in Sydney on Boxing Day evening 2003 armed with only my backpack and my Lonely Planet guide book for company. I was on my own, (due to being let down by the friend I was supposed to be travelling with) and determined to have a good time. Needless to say I didn't find it too much of an effort. I had booked hostel ...  Read the complete review

Sydney – somewhere I had wanted to visit from being a small child. I have no idea where the draw to this city came from but fixate me it did! Odd then that it took two trips to Australia to actually "get there", but at the beginning of this year I finally managed it…… ~HISTORY~ Sydneys story ...  Read the complete review

Australia's most celebrated city remains an obligatory stop on most itineraries around this vast continent. With a bulging population of 4 million this is a city that is going places. Many vistors are spellbound by the intoxicating mix of fine weather, superb natural environment and a cost of living that is attractive when compared to ...  Read the complete review

Phew, I think this is my longest op ever, so please bear with me until the end.... As I lived and worked in Sydney for two years, I thought I would share my experiences with you. I first went to Sydney in November 1997, but unfortunately this was only for a few days as I was on a three week assignment in Brisbane. However, less than six ...  Read the complete review

Having been travelling to Sydney for all of my life, I have seen the changes that have taken place since events such as the Olympics, I can honestly say that I wish my relations lived somewhere else. Sydney, post 2000 Olympics, is very clean, and navigating once in the the city is easy. Busses are cheap, and the monorail is a fun way to ...  Read the complete review

Sydney is probably Australia's most well known and well renowned city, if not one of the most well known throughout the world! It is situated perfectly on Sydney harbour, which has one of the most famous attractions in the world, the Sydney harbour bridge! Whilst here you have the amazing opportunity to walk right along the top ...  Read the complete review

Whatever you do don't let the travelling time or distance put you off going to Sydney. Providing you go for 2 or more weeks, you will enjoy it. It is a long journey so allow yourself a day to recover. I was lucky that I stayed with friends, they forced me to stay awake till 8/9 pm on the first night (at which point I had been awake for ...  Read the complete review

Never mind about Brisbane, if you are travelling up the East Coast from Sydney stop here and stay for a while. This place has everything. Gorgeous beaches, shopping malls for even the poorest of travellers, great little cafes and ice cream parlours. Try a place called Wendy's that do the most mouthwatering strawberry smoothies yummmy. ...  Read the complete review

Sydney has to be one of the most exciting beautiful functional cities on the globe. Not only is there tons of things to do there but it blends aesthetically with the New South Wales climate and landscape giving the city energy and a real buzzz. Going to work in the morning on a ferry gliding over the crisp blue harbor swell is certainly the most ...  Read the complete review

I loved Sydney and watching the Olympics last year brought back so many great memories. I travelled there 5 years ago with 4 of my friends for 2 weeks and we wanted to stay there forever. The first thing that struck me about Sydney was the size of everything, especially the Opera House. It is huge and a very impressive ...  Read the complete review

Sydney is great, full to the brim of wacky and weird people which is what I like to see in a major city. Variety! There are many areas in Sydney that would take a very long time to explore properly. As you know, the Olympics are here in the year 2000, September! When they won it was beer on the house! Great stuff. ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Australia, and spent quite some time in Sydney. There is no denying it - it is a beautiful place and well worth going to, but once you have done the big things - the harbour cruise, the opera house, they are both spectacular, but other than those there is not a great deal left to do. Of the other things worth considering, ...  Read the complete review

There is a huge array of different trips around the magnificent Sydney Harbour. It is a spectacular area and offers the best views of the world famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. You can also admire the many different & interesting house of those rich enough to live on the harbour front. My cousin, who lives in Australia, has over the years ...  Read the complete review

I am a well-travelled person; I live in the UK but have been lucky enough to visit the four corners of the world - that's all seven continents in 19 years. Of all the places I have lived in, holidayed in or visited I can say this: SYDNEY IS THE BEST CITY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! I recommend the city for its great cultural diversity, fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Sydney is like New York, a city which looks and feels like a capital, even though it isn't. Though on a map it looks like it sits on the coast, it is in fact a short distance from the mouth of the river, which is very wide, and so at times Sydney feels like a city on a lake. You can use ferries as a convenient way to get around, and pretty ...  Read the complete review

Having lived in Sydney for 5 years, i can say with experience that Sydney is the one city you simply must visit at least once in a lifetime. From a Sydneysiders point of view there is nothing to help you relax then going to work on a ferry across the harbour on a beautiful sunny morning. Certainly beats the tube in rush hour..And how about a ...  Read the complete review
