Sydney - City to Sea
Sydney just mentioned the word and people all over the world see the shining white sails of the Sydney Opera House, and the steely grey arch of the Harbour Bridge. Kangaroos and Koalas aren't far behind. But there is more to Sydney than cute marsupials and iconic arches. Sydney is the gateway to Australia for most visitors and from the first G'day you will feel at home. On the drive from the airport you will notice golf courses, parkland, residential developments, and, looming large in the taxi or Limo windscreen, a cluster of skyscrapers, standing tall and proud.
Once ensconced in your luxury hotel, go exploring the city streets. Weekdays they are busy, but you will not find the harried crowds of New York or chaotic bustle of Paris or Rome. There is room to move in Sydney, and locals will only be too pleased to give you directions or advise on what to do and see. Compared to other cities, Sydney is relaxed, vibrant, and young lady content in her skin. The City has it all-beautiful beaches, glorious National Parks in the shadows of the CBD, cutting - edge fashion, fantastic shopping and all the facilities, activities and accommodation any visitor could hope for. From most city hotels around the CBD, there will be a view or glimpse of the body of water that is Sydney's pride and joy. Sydney Harbour is the star in most visitors' photo album.
They will take photos of the glistening blue water from every possible angle-from aircraft on scenic flights, from Skywalk and the Bridge climb, from Ferries or yachts, or from foreshores. It would be a fairly safe bet that no first time visitor would leave Sydney without at least a photo of the harbour safely tucked away on a memory card or roll of film. Sydney seaplanes (visit www.seaplanes.com.au) and Sydney by seaplane (www.sydneybyseaplane.com.au) are two of the companies conducting scenic flights and from the moment you take off you will be absolutely mesmerised by the fantastic sights. The coastline's rugged cliffs and golden beaches, the city skyline, the harbour bridge, Opera House and the distant blue of the mountains are spread out before you in a stream of beauty. These companies also offer combination fly dine tours, with the excitement of touching down on water sure to be a highlight. If sailing is your choice, why not hire your own charter yacht and explore the harbour at you own pace, or participate in a scheduled sail. The main player in this field is Sydney by Sail (www.sydneybysail.com) at Darling Harbour, with a fleet of luxury Hunter yachts and an innovative range of charter and leisure activities.
It is one of Sydney's charms that you can be in the middle of George Street in the city one minute, and can be strolling through beautiful bushland before the hour is out. Discover the past at the Rocks including the historic pubs. Enjoy the shopping, galleries, museums and fine dining in central Sydney or immerse yourself in the wonderful waterways of Sydney harbour - there is so much to enjoy.
