“Sydney” Benandnicola’s photos around Sydney, Australia (halong dragon’s pearl)

Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney” Entry: “We are just leaving Sydney after a fantastic week. We loved it so much, that we extended it an extra few days! Our first views of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House were absolutely magnificent. Our apartment was on the 23rd floor and we had 2 balconies with the most amazing views. We stayed at the Quay West Apartments for 4 nights. On our first night we met Kim and Michael in Manley, which is a short boat trip from the circular quay. It was fantastic as we sailed up close to the Opera house. The next morning we did the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb and climbed to the summit of the bridge. It was an organized tour that took around 4 hours. The day was sunny and clear so we could see for miles. It was an excellent experience and well worth doing. On the Friday night we met Owen and Elaine, we then headed off to the Casino, where we met Kim and Joel. It was a boozy night, which ended with Nicola taking a tumble and calling Kelly on her mobile for about 30 minutes. She wouldn’t have minded however, she can’t remember any of the conversation. Saturday night we went for dinner at Owen and Elaine’s local, the Lord Dudley. Sunday we went to the Blue Mountains with Kim and Joel. First to Echo Point, were we saw the Three Sisters rock. We also …

Preview of Bong808′sblog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney!” Entry: “Well I got back into the city on Tuesday, Oct 13th and had the afternoon off after a long drive back from Bathurst. I was looking for accommodations because the hostel I stayed at prior was full. As I was sitting at the internet cafe, I was slipping into exhaustion still felt a bit jet lagged, so I decided to go to the one right across the street. Turns out to be very cheap, a little basic, but I met some really interesting people. A few of them are your typical backpackers, but mostly people who are staying longterm and are basically working throughout the week at various jobs. That night I walked the length of Kent st. to find Lord Nelson’s Brewery. It was worth the walk because I found a great beer at the end of it. Old Admiral is a red ale with streaks of black, or a brown ale to be simpler put. They also had three sheets pale ale and old blood, which is a stout. There were a few others on tap that I must go back to try and the food looks good to. It is the oldest brewery in Sydney and still to this day brews their beer on site, mostly. On Wednesday I went to the Australian Museum where they had an Egyptian Pharaoh exhibit which is only here for a few weeks. They had a lot of mummy’s both in and out of their caskets, as well as artifacts …

Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney” Entry: “Day 126 Saturday 05/03/05 Brisbane – Sydney We caught a bus to the airport and flew with Qantas to Sydney. After waiting a while for the hostel’s free minibus we took a while getting back through the city – the Mardi Gras was on and the parade had closed many streets causing loads of traffic problems. We dumped our bags, had a snack in a local cafe and headed down to Oxford Street to grab ourselves a watching space. We were there 2 hours early and still didn’t get a front row space! The parade lasted 1.5 hours and had fireworks too. It was an interesting parade that was good fun – displays by the police (who got a great cheer), the firefighters, the Welsh and the Scottish were our favourites. A big emphasis was put on gays/lesbians adopting kids as there have been some controversial cases recently – lots of kids were marching in the parade too. After the end we headed back to the hostel stopping for a delicious Thai meal on the way home. Day 127 Sunday 06/03/05 Sydney We started the day with some disappointing local markets at the lovely El Alamein fountain (allegedly thistle shaped!! – but it looked more like a dandelion to us). We then took a train to the Town Hall and walked through the main business/shopping area to get to the harbour. we …

Sydney Food Court Visitor

harbourside hotel sydney

Image by mamamusings

I was quite surprised to run into several of these birds in the Harbourside food court near the hotel. Not sure what it is, though, other than intrepid.

–

Update: thanks to my two favorite birders, I now know that this is an Australian White Ibis, also know as a "Sacred Ibis." Wikipedia provides this interesting tidbit:

"There has been debate in recent years over whether to consider them a pest or a possibly endangered species. Birds in tourist areas of Sydney such as Darling Harbour, the Royal Botanic Gardens, or Centennial Park have been a problem due to their strong smell. Populations in the latter two areas have been culled.[7]. The birds have also come to be regarded as a problem species in Victoria as a result of their scavenging activities, scattering rubbish from tips and bins in the process. They are even known to snatch sandwiches from picknickers. Such behaviour, together with their propensity to build nests in "inappropriate" places, and competition with captive animals, led to surplus birds being relocated from Healesville Sanctuary to Sale. However, the birds returned in a few days."

“Sydney Central” Ruairioc’s photos around Sydney, Australia (destinology/coastal areas)

13 Jan 2012 - admin

Preview of Ruairioc’sblog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney Central” Entry: “If New York is the city that never sleeps then Sydney must come a close second; this city has it all, beaches, museums, parks, coastal walks, beautiful weather, the best bars and restaurants not to mention the myriad of world class sights on offer. One of the highlights had to be the visit to the Opera house and the flamenco show by Sara Baras that we attended. This building is without doubt a marvel of modern architecture and justifiably is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Surrounded by the views of circular quay, the harbour bridge on one side and the stunning botanical gardens on the other you just end up standing there with your mouth open in awe of this impossibly beautiful setting. From spectacular Darling Harbour, to buzzing Chinatown to the pounding beat of 24hr parties in Kings cross we explored and explored to our hearts content. So easy to get around too with monorail, subway, trains, buses and ferries all interlinked and running like clockwork. Jeez this sounds like an ad for the Sydney tourist office! The public ferries gave us the chance to see lots of the coastal areas like the fishing village of Watsons bay and its beautiful walk to the lighthouse and a bit of an eyeful as we passed a nudist beach. Seriously it …

“Sydney side up” Lisamcsherry’s photos around Manly, Australia (new south wales)

11 Jan 2012 - admin

Preview of Lisamcsherry’s blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Manly, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney side up” Entry: “This probably isn’t the best time of year to visit the southern half of Australia, just as it isn’t the best time to visit NZ, but once we crossed the Tasman sea and landed in Sydney, it felt like a world away. The sun was shining (I know, it’s not Auckland’s fault that the weather was ****) and it was passably warm, as warm as a heat wave in Scotland. The big difference was the life and vibrancy of the place. The streets seemed full and bustling and there was a life about the place that we just hadn’t found in New Zealand (except Queenstown, but that’s just backpacker life and doesn’t count). Pretty quickly I remembered why I fell in love with this place when I lived here for a time in 2001. The towering skyscrapers and lovely parks, but most of all the harbour, are all wonderful. After an age on an “express” bus from the airport (we basically got a tour of Kings Cross and Potts Point while the bus driver went looking for various hotels and shouted down his radio that he didn’t want to go for a drink with someone on the other end) we got off at Circular Quay and got to take in the world famous view across to North Ryde, with the Sydney Harbour bridge on your left and the Opera House on your right. Lisa was instantly impressed and …

Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Sydney – the Opera House, the Bridge and …” Entry: “Sydney – Return trip to Australia Thursday 18th Feb — arrived into Sydney airport 4.45pm local time, gaining two hours. Starting to wonder if you kept travelling endlessly could you actually get younger? Now is that travel fever or what? Got through Customs/baggage reclaim pretty quickly and out to arrivals to check out mode of transport to hotel. Booked a return ticket for the shuttle bus which would drop us to our hotel — we were asked to wait for the driver who would come and bring us to the coach. Eventually a guy arrived talking on his mobile — he then gestured to us (others waiting also) to follow him. Dutifully we all got up and followed. We arrived at the coach stop (No 34) and our coach arrived there to pick us up — as I was handing the luggage to him I mentioned the Hotel we were staying in — he looked at me strangely and said — no Victoria Hotel only Shangri La Hotel. Pardon me? No Victoria Hotel — you have to go back and get other bus. Hello? We stood there bemused only to be met by another French couple who had had a similar experience — they told us that they had been waiting for over an hour at that point and no shuttle yet. I stormed back to the shuttle desk to find out what …

“A Day in the Blue Mountains” Smtcan’s photos around Katoomba, Australia (skyway katoomba coupon)

Preview of Smtcan’s blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Katoomba, Australia Entry Title: “A Day in the Blue Mountains” Entry: “We got up early and walked to Central Station where we took the train to Katoomba. The journey took 2 hours and a day return cost . The first hour was not very interesting, just through the suburbs, but after that we enjoyed mountain scenery. The train stopped very often, seemed like every five minutes. At Katoomba we boarded the Blue Mountain Trolley ( for the day). It was somewhat cloudy, but warm and dry. We saw the Leura Cascades, Kiah lookout with a view of the Jamison Valley then left the shuttle at Echo Point. We went to the information centre then walked down to the viewing platform to see the Three Sisters. When we returned we caught the next shuttle past Katoomba Falls to the Skyway Station. The Skyway cable car took us across the Jamison Valley and we had wonderful views of the Falls and the Three Sisters. We ended in Scenic World where we had lunch. We travelled down into the valley on the Scenic Railway. It was originally a way to get miners down to the coal mines, but was improved for tourists when the mine closed. A boardwalk nature trail led us through the rain forest past the old mine workings. AV and plaques tell the story. The vegetation was very lush and we saw a huge termites nest. At the end of …

“Avoiding the kitsch in Sydney” Ramdux’s photos around Sydney, Australia

31 Dec 2011 - admin

Preview of Ramdux’s blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Sydney, Australia Entry Title: “Avoiding the kitsch in Sydney” Entry: “Well Sydney was an experience and a half. Only because it’s probably the most cosmopolitan and modern city I’ve seen on my travels outside London. In fact, it was a lot like London. So much so that during one of the lunchtimes I spent there, I went into the Central Business District and just observed hundreds of office workers talking on their mobiles, drinking their Starbucks coffee and wearing thick sunglassess. Pretty much like what one would see in the City of London. But seriously, Sydney is the place to be for touristy culture but has so much kitsch stalls and shops selling all types of Australian souvenirs like replica models of the Sydney Opera House to tacky T-Shirts saying “I stood on the other side of the world in Sydney”. I mean who would want to buy that stuff? Three days in Sydney staying in the upmarket area of Potts Point was comfortable though the hotel was just dingy and cold. Still you can’t have it all and it wasn’t as if I was going to spend all my time in the non-existent lobby talking to the geriatric receptionist there. Circular Quay Circular Quay is the place to visit when in Sydney, the area houses the famouse quay leading out to Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Rocks and of course …
