Overall

Where do I start? It was everything we thought it would be and so much more. Do not let the lengthy flight time put you off - somethings are better waiting for. Visited for the full month of March 2005, didnt leave NSW and STILL didnt get to do everything we wanted to do. We stayed in Manly, what a gorgeous place, just a jetcat or ferry ride from Circular Quay, amazing, but with a more relaxed atmosphere, simply beautiful beaches, a great beach for surf and Shelly beach a short walk round they bay, a sheltered child friendly beach with calm swimming watters and the nicest people. Manly has lots of great bars and restaurants, a weekend market, cinema, and is a great place to start from to travel up the northern beaches - right up to Palm Beach (Summer Bay) In Sydney, dont miss the bridge climb, the views are amazing and its well worth the climb! Visit Doyles chip shop, im Scottish, but they were fab! Bondi beach - great sight to see but soooo big, not my idea of relaxing by the sea! Shopping was good but who wants to visit a mall when you can do that at home? Am planning to visit again and will def stay in Manly - as they say in Manly - 7 miles from Sydney, 1000 miles from care!
