One of Australia's favourite past times is drinking beer.
In Sydney we drink it as cold as possible.
The normal glass of beer is known as a schooner 425ml

If you are taste testing you can order a smaller glass known as a middy 285ml

A few Sydney pubs serve traditional pints 568ml

A very popular beer is Coopers. I like its flavour and the fact that it is preservative free means that hangovers are less likely.

Coopers Pale Ale (Green) is a good starting point.
I know it sounds bad to leave good beer behind but you should always leave the last mouthful of a Coopers in the bottle, due to it's natural fermentation process there is always a little bit of ingredient left behind. It does not taste so good by itself.

A schooner of local beer can cost you anywhere between AUD$3.00 - $10.00 depending on where you order it from.
Restaurants, nightclubs and cafes tend to more expensive than pubs.

Some other popular beers are
VB -Victoria Bitter (You can get it walkin)
Tooheys - New (The beer we drink round here)
XXXX - Gold (The beer of farmers and country folk)

The brand new Sydney Wildlife World has just opened in Darling Harbour.
It is a very good native animal experience for tourists and locals alike.
I find when you visit zoo's in big cities you see the same old animals, elephants, monkeys, giraffes etc.

If you are after a 100% native experience then SWW is for you.
Zoo-oligists wander around the different sections carrying snakes, possums and baby koalas.

There is a really cool free service in the zoo. If you switch your bluetooth on in your mobile phone you can choose to download free animal sounds, ringtones, wallpapers and bizarre facts about these fascinating native animals of Australia.
The best thing is that it is free to download.

I had some work to do in Erina and decided to take the train instead of driving.
It really is a spectacular journey.
CENTRAL STATION to GOSFORD is AUD$12 return.
A good part of the train journey travels through the Hawkesbury River. The train tracks are literally meters away from the waters edge.

The journey takes about 1hr 45min each way.
There are toilets on board and the trains are fairly comfortable.

There is not a great deal to do in Gosford city.
It really is a case of the journey rather than the destination.

A brand new ten pin bowling facility has just opened in Darling Harbour.
It's called Kingpin.
A great place to go before hitting the clubs.
The emphasis is really about comfort and style.
There are lots of bars and big comfy leather loungues.
