SYDNEY

SYDNEY

Blessed with one of the world’s most beautiful harbours, Sydney has always been an exceptional mix of natural and man-made
attractions. Today, Sydney looks more stunning than ever. The sheer range and quality of dining, nightlife and shopping
opportunities will amaze. The heart of Sydney is its sparkling harbour – a playground for sailing, swimming, fishing and exploring.
Whenever you choose to visit Sydney, the great outdoors is never far away – laze on one of the famous surf beaches, sail on the
harbour, walk along the foreshore or take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly. To really appreciate the Sydney lifestyle you must
go where the locals go. Each area has a distinct character, from the street fashions of Newtown, the old world charm of
The Rocks, the designer chic of Paddington, fun and games at Darling Harbour or the relaxed harbourside ambience of
Watsons Bay. Sydney – its yours to discover.
