I was born in Sydney and lived there for more than 30 years. I was once a bit of an expert on the city, but after living away for 5 years I am starting to forget! Luckily I have been returning for the occasional visit which helps me to remember that I am from one of the most amazing cities in the world!
The combination of good weather, blue skies, and the harbour is fantastic. Then throw in the fabulous restaurants & bars and it is hard to beat!
The only reason I don't live there these days is that it is too far from the rest of the world, and I'm not done exploring yet ; )
For the time being I won't be loading up Things to Do on this page, it will mainly be a record of places that I have eaten on trips back to visit family & friends. I shall update it with more helpful information in the future.
- Pros:My favourite people in the world live here!
- Cons:It is too far from London
