About Sydney
Sydney's laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world's top cities to visit and live in. The stunning harbour provides a dramatic backdrop for the city's famous icons - the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydneysiders are a friendly, energetic bunch with a positive approach to life.
Sydney is Australia's only global city. It's a city with a genuine sense of style, a love of sport and celebrations including New Year's Eve, Mardi Gras, the Sydney Festival, and the Sydney International Art Series.
You'll find plenty of things to see and do in Sydney. Sydney Harbour is a natural playground, and the views are world-class. There's a wide-ranging cultural life, a dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches - most notably Bondi and Manly - and five major national parks deliver unforgettable outdoor experiences.
Sydney Attractions
With its rich natural environment, Sydney is the ultimate outdoor playground. One of the best ways to enjoy Sydney's stunning natural attractions is on a coastal trail such as the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. This walk isn't just a great workout; you'll discover secret nooks for picnics, grab a coffee at a beachfront cafe along the way or sit down and take in the views.
Leafy Centennial Parklands is an idyllic spot for cycling, walking, rollerblading and horseriding with plenty of room to move - 360 hectares, in fact. The Royal Botanic Gardens in the heart of the city is peaceful and beautiful; lie back under a shady tree and watch the world go by.
Sydney Harbour is the gateway to a world of natural attractions. Navigate your way around the inner-harbour islands by ferry, or why not hire a kayak and paddle your way to a secluded harbour beach for a swim and a picnic?
A short drive from the city reveals more beauty. The world's second-oldest national park, the Royal National Park, lies to the south of the city, while the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area is a scenic 90-minute drive west of the CBD. Both popular tourist attractions, these pristine natural environments come alive in spring and summer with wildflowers and wildlife, and are fantastic destinations for a range of outdoor activities ranging from bushwalks and hiking to camping, mountain biking, abseiling and canyoning. You'll discover wetlands, eucalypt woodlands, rugged bushland, lush rainforests and sandstone gorges; there are photo opportunities at every turn, and you'll come away feeling refreshed and invigorated. If all that activity has you working up a sweat, cool off with a swim in a crystal-clear stream or waterhole, or under a tumbling waterfall.
Sydney Activities
Iconic venues, such as the Sydney Opera House, the State Theatre, the Sydney Theatre Company's home base at Walsh Bay and the Belvoir St Theatre in Surry Hills, play host to an array of theatre and unique shows.
Carriageworks runs a range of exciting events and exhibitions. Or see Illuminate at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the next inspiring show in the Sydney International Art Series.
Sydney has a diverse range of art galleries, from major collections to small artists' studios in the city centre and suburbs, including Balmain and Bundeena, Paddington and Palm Beach. Plan your visit to the Art Gallery of New South Wales and other major public galleries including the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the Museum of Sydney. Cutting-edge private galleries worth a visit include Object Gallery, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, The Hughes Gallery and White Rabbit Gallery.
Newcastle is Australia's sixth largest city and the second largest in the state of New South Wales. Situated 160 km north of Sydney, on the mouth of the Hunter River, it is the predominant city within the Hunter Valley region, a significant coal shipping center and Australia's largest provincial city (that is, the largest city that is not the capital of a state or territory).
Newcastle Attractions
The Bathers Way - Stretching from Nobbys Headland to Glenrock Reserve, this 3-mile coastal walk takes in many historic and scenic sights including the art deco Newcastle Ocean Baths, enticing sand beaches and rock pools. Newcastle Regional Museum - The states largest museum features a fascinating mix of permanent and traveling exhibits covering items of social, scientific and technological interest.
Newcastle Activities
Newcastle has a thriving arts scene, where creative pursuits are encouraged and artistic flair is celebrated. Wander through the colourful and expansive array of inner city art galleries, from the Universitys' Watt Space Galleries and historic John Paynter Gallery to the prestigious Newcastle Art Gallery, and admire the public street art.
The city boasts a rich and varied cultural life with a wonderful selection of theatres, cinemas and concert venues offering a diverse range of experiences.
As Australia's second oldest city, Newcastle is a region rich with unique history. Tunnel into Newcastle's 200 year history with a visit to the recently reopened Fort Scratchely. Explore Newcastle's maritime past with a visit to the Maritime Center at Lee Wharf or view aviation history at Fighterworld and observe the FA-18 Hornets taking off from the nearby RAAF base. Experience life behind bars with a guided tour of Maitland Gaol, hosted by an ex-inmate.
The cool and casual capital of Queensland offers all the glitz and glam of a big city without the big city airs. Located on the banks of the Brisbane River and surrounded by rolling hills, this urban oasis sure is easy on the eyes. Whether you're headed uptown, downtown or out of town, you'll be sure to encounter your fair share of first-ever experiences. Scale the legendary Story Bridge, take a sandboarding tour on North Stradbroke Island. Or if you'd like to connect with your inner Aussie, try your hand at sheep shearing at the Australian Woolshed.
Brisbane Attractions
If finding furry Australian natives is on your to-do list, take a tour of the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary - it's the largest in the world. Here you can spend some quality time with the resident kangaroos and even cuddle a koala.
Brisbane Activities
Outdoor enthusiast? You can test yourself in Brisbane without leaving the city… Hold your breath as you abseil 20 meters down the 20 million year old kangaroo Point cliffs in only 20 seconds or rock climb your way to the Top with the meandering Brisbane River at your back! Want to be closer to the water? Then kayak your way around every bend of the river; no matter what the weather! Get a bird’s eye view of how the river shapes our city when you do the Story Bridge Adventure Climb. When you get to the top of Brisbane’s most famous 1940’s icon, catch your breath and look around for a glimpse of the beautiful Moreton Bay. How about cycling or rollerblading along the Riverwalk – over 20 km of riverside paths and bikeways?
Known as the world's largest Sand Island. Take time to explore this glorious island by four-wheel-drive vehicle and you will be amazed at the natural beauty and variety that awaits you.
Townsville, the largest Australian city in the tropics, is a colorful collage of gardens and fountains, great panoramas atop Castsle Hill and Northern Queensland´s only gambling casino. Its major tourist attraction, however, is a world-class aquarium which showcases the Great Barrier Reef.
Townsville Attractions
Townsville is packed with leisure and sporting facilities and opportunities to expand your knowledge. Whether it be a flutter on the blackjack table or a close encounter with a croc, Townsville has it all.
Melville's Pioneer Farm is another great family day out. Hop aboard a restored Cobb & Co coach or learn how to crack a whip or shear a sheep. This farm offers the total Aussie experience! Because of its climate, it's not surprising that the region boasts so many spacious parks and gardens.
Set a leisurely pace through the Dan Gleeson Memorial Gardens and stop to experience its beautiful Perfume Gardens. Or a visit to Anzac Park on The Strand and take a fascinating stroll down the Heroes Walk.
Set in the dazzling blue waters of Trinity Bay, Cairns is ideal for big game fishing and motorized catamaran trips to the Great Barrier Reef. Sample delicious seafood at charming bay side eateries, shop for tropical goods along palm-lined streets, or take a scenic train ride to Kuranda to see a world acclaimed Aboriginal dance troupe.
Cairns Attractions
Although Cairns' foremost draw is as a departure point for trips to the Great Barrier Reef, take a walk around the town center for its sites of historical interest and a look at recent developments. Abbot Street boasts some imposing neo-classical buildings from the 1920s. A walk along the Esplanade offers views across the estuary to spectacular mountains covered in rain forests.
Cairns Activities
Cairns Museum - The museum features a display on the construction of the Cairns-to-Kuranda railway, the old gold fields and a collection of Aboriginal artifacts. It is housed in the 1907 School of Arts building in the center of town.
