Sydney Tourist Trap Tips by Gnome

KINGS CROSS: Be careful as some people (including locals) may recommend that you visit this place at night time. Some locals tend to think that King Cross is the only red light district in the whole world, as it is the largest red light district in Australia, so they think that overseas guests have never seen that sort of thing before. That is all it is - a red light district - so don't expect anything more. And it can be a little dangerous at night - do not venture into quiet side alleys - the people enticing you into the clubs can sense tourists from a mile away. If you a looking for fun, there are plenty of other places to go in Sydney that are much more friendly and safe. If you are looking for a red light district - head down to the Cross.

Beaches - Get out of the tourist areas. This is not really a 'tourist trap' recommendation, but visitors who enjoy beaches should generally explore Sydney's less famous beaches. Although Bondi and Manly and nice beaches by world standards, Sydney has over 40 other beaches that will impress any avid beach bum! Most of them are very accessible by public transport, so make the most of it - the pic below is from Coogee.
