In 1997, while teaching English in South Korea, I used a one week schoolbreak to meet up with my parents in Sydney, Australia.
Taking travel time into account, we only had six days. . .therefore we stayed in the city and simply enjoyed our time together.
Sydney, much like Toronto, is a young, clean, harbour-based city. However, I had the distinst impression that its attitudes and atmosphere had more in common with European capitals.

You did a very good job , as your pages are very good and interesting , specially now that we are preparing our next travel to Australia Gracias !!!!!
Great page. When did you visit Sydney? A bit has changed now, eg Luna Park has now re-opened, and I doubt you can get THAT close to Kirribilli house these days.... Although I could be wrong I should check it out!
Nice overview of some of Sydney's well-known sights - leyle
I see you got a pic of those wretched ibis.
Your photos and comments are really impressive. Sydney is more beautifull through your eyes. Well done!
An excellent page, better done than those by the locals.
Nice page with some very good tips. I saw only a tiny fraction of this city and would love to return some day!
thanks for the great page and tips.. that's an interesting main pic of sydney.. not the usual opera house.. :)
I too found attitudes to be very European, which is probably why I've never been that struck on Aus - I like to go places where the culture is completely different. Agree - exotic birds are as common as pigeons would be elsewhere - seeing that was great!
Great page with very nice pics, hope I can visit Sydney one day..
