Sightseeing
Walking over the Harbour Bridge is a great way to see the Harbour. Climbing it is the best (so everyone says). I am scared of heights so I won't be going up but am happy to walk across and enjoy my coffee on one end and my champagne on the other:)

Parks & Nature
Our beaches in Sydney are fantastic. Definitely some of the best in the world so if you like the coast allow several days to explore them. Each beach usually has a cafe on or nearby with lovely views to while the hours away while listening to the crashing of waves and watching the Aussie surfers do their thing. I go to the beach almost every week.....you can't keep me away!

We love to Kyack and there are fantastic waterways to do this here. There are hiking trails, two fabulous cafes, paddleboats and small boats to hire, fishing, yachts, picnic grounds, children's playground, lots of wildlife, birds and fish. I love it and only a 15 minute drive from here.
