Sydney Tourist Information

Sydney sprawls. Despite its relatively small population, it covers almost as large an area as Los Angeles and seven times larger than Paris. It has more than 400 suburbs, the farthest being about 60 miles from Sydney's Central Business District.

The historic section of the city is known as The Rocks, a beautifully restored warren of alleyways and old stone buildings tucked away under the southern approach to the Harbour Bridge.

Pitt Street and George Street are the city's two main thoroughfares. They both begin at Circular Quay and stretch through the heart of downtown, lined with glittering skyscrapers, department stores and gritty old shops that have somehow managed to survive the scrabble for building land. This juxtaposition of styles, old and new, give Sydney flair. For the past ten years North Sydney, has been sprouting modernistic skyscrapers, and now it looks like a downtown annex.

Bondi. The glam surfy scene, but beware of strong rips. Surf in the south end, be seen in the north end. Tamarama. The water can be rough, but the bods ... No wonder they call it glamarama. If you've been touched with the ugly stick, stay in your kaftan (see breakfast). Bronte. Relaxed family beach and fab cafes.

Camp cove. Pretty little bay with ice-cream stall. Nielson park. Neat park, cafe and leisurely swimming. Manly. Great surfing and cafes, just 30 mins by ferry. Palm. Quintessential beach-chic (see out-of-towners). If you're keen to check out beach and surf conditions / qoastalwatch.com.au / has webcams at several beaches, or / aquabumps.com.au / has all things bondi.

Perf surf let's go surfing. This surf store runs group or one­on-one lessons. They provide the rig, the board and a tasty instructor, you supply the raw humiliation, and then collapse sobbing at speedo's (see b'fast) next door.

Padi daddy pro dive. Everything you need to get you submerged, from basic to advanced as well as excursions, dive holidays, all the kit and the kaboodle. Just add sea.

Strut your stuff bondi coastal walk. Simply follow the scenic path behind icebergs (see rest.lsmart) around the headland to mckenzie's beach, tamarama beach and end with a nibble at bronte beach (see lunch). Otherwise, reverse it and end with a svelte sunset cocktail at icebergs or a schooner at bondi icebergs club.

Manly scenic walk. This 3 hr walk is fabulous. Take some sarnies and a bottle of pop (see v. Useful) as there are scores of charming harbourside spots to dally in, or save yourself for le kiosk (see lunch). Have your taxi go over spit bridge and stop straight away in the lay-by on the left. Look back to the bridge and on the right is a sign reading 'manly via clontarf reserve'. Zip down the steps and under the bridge to clontarf beach, now simply follow the signs. When you get to manly, trundle round to the ferry terminal for the scenic 30 min ride back to town or nip to le kiosk for a bite.

In da house sydney opera house tour. Have a damn good 1 hr probe into the bowels of this arts icon. Or, if you want to get behind the scenes, literally, the 2 hr" 'backstage tour' starts at 7am and includes brekky. Sydney opera house .
Up da bridge bridge climb. Sydney's other great landmark has grandstand views and despite being forced to wear a foul outfit, this is a complete scream. No strappy blahniks and you'll be breathalised, so no martis before.
5 cumberland st.

Silly sports adrenalin. All manner of absurdly athletic things to do involving, amongst others, jumping out of a moving aircraft strapped to a swarthy aussie .•• hang on tight.
