I've spent the last week or so in and around Sydney. It seams strange to say it but know I've been to Sydney I really believe I am halfway around the world.
On the face of it I didn't like Sydney. After visiting both the Harbour bridge and Opera house I felt there was nothing left, the rest of the city seamed to be lacking in soul. It was at this point it became so obvious how new Australia is at only 200 years. It's lacking historical buildings and strange little streets that have been there for hundreds of years.
After discovering the suburbs and out of the way bays I have now come to the conclusion that Sydney does have soul but it is tucked away and nowhere near the CDB.
After a few nights in the centre I decided to head down to Bondi. Which was not the long out of the way beach I had imagined. It has a feel of an English seaside town with bigger waves! but so much more relaxed than the city centre and with free entertainment of watching the surfers.
Adrian and Tash came up to join me for the weekend and took me on a magical mystery tour off the cool bits in and around Sydney. The Royal national park with beaches all to ourselves (it was raining), Watsons bay, the weekend markets and the northern beaches including Palm beach famous for Home and Away.
