10 Tips for Staying at Darling Harbour, Monday, 07 July 2008
2. The best Yum cha lunch is the Marigold, 5th Floor 683 George St. seven days a week held every Monday & Thursday from 10am-3pm
3. Get the Metro Light Rail around to Jubilee Park and walk around the harbour for about 30 minutes back to Glebe past the Burley Griffin incinerator
4. You could stop for a very fine lunch at Blackwater Ristorante, with stunning views across The George's River 1/8 Water Street Sans Souci, NSW Ph: (02) 9529 4893
5. You could also get off the Metro Light Rail at the Fish Market and join a Behind the Scenes at the Market tour held every Monday & Thursday. It's the largest market of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Ph(02) 9004 1143.
6. Don't miss the Happy Hour from 5-6pm at the Tokio Hotel. Great view from Cockle Bay Wharf across the water.
7. Get the Sydney Ferries Corporation ferry from in front of the Aquarium and using their brochure Guide to Sydney do one of the great walks to discover the hidden secrets of Sydney Harbour.
8. Master the bus system. It is very easy because most busses go up and down George St going every few minutes to Circular Quay. Buy 10 tickets from the clearly marked outlets.
9. Don't miss the Chinese Garden of Friendship, a very fine example of the Chinese tradition of landscape design.
Sunday in Sydney, Saturday, 28 June 2008
Queen Victoria Building, David Jones ground floor and the David Jones Foodhall. Sit in the Foodhall and enjoy a dozen oysters and a glass of white and spend 15 minutes talking to your neighbours who were either locals or from interstate. Back to your hotel drop your parcels. Where to next. Is it Oxford Street for all the colour and markets, Double Bay for a bit of people watching or a stroll across to China Town,
or a visit to the many museums.
Lunchtime down we go to the Opera House and the many activities on the precinct. Perfect spot to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Choice of venues is wide, seafood, italian or modern wherever you decide to settle you will be surrounded by families enjoying the atmosphere and the music. Its dark we better think about moving but you are too relaxed having watch the people, the water, the activities of others, the wonderful sunset. The end to a perfect Sunday in Sydney
Accommodation and Tours, Saturday, 28 June 2008
There is a public bus every 30min to 1hr that will take you to Circular Quay where you can see the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens or catch another Bus, Train or Ferry almost anywhere. It is also about a 3km down hill walk from Potts Point, past the HMAS Kuttabul navy base, through the Botanic Gardens to the Opera House, awesome on a nice day.
There are Hop On Hop Off tour stops along Kings Cross and Potts Point that will take you around the city, and you can hop on and off the bus at any of these places with a 24hr or 48hr ticket, excellent way to see the city and even go out to Bondi Beach.
There are also a number of tour companies who can pick you up at your door if your staying in Potts Point and take you though the Blue Mountains on a wonderful day trip.

Now it's time to stretch your legs and walk the Cremorne track. Depending on your time you can enjoy a relaxed pace and it shouldn't take you any more then 30mins. The track is shaded in places and there a few spots to take photos & sit if you wish. As you approach the Cremorne point you will gasp at the beautiful view of Sydney harbour. Take some photos as your Ferry docks at Cremorne wharf to take you back to Circular key.
Bon Voyage!
Sassy Sydney, Sunday, 29 June 2008
Wotif I wanted to treat my family to a big city holiday, stay in a self contained apartment, where my family could experience our convict history of the Rocks, the magic of the Sydney harbour by ferry, the multi cultural vibe at Darling harbour and the wonderment of Taronga Zoo. I'd Choose Sydney
