by Ronald_T - last update: Nov 3, 2001

The beautiful old Rocks...

<body>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Here we are at the <b>Lord Nelson</b>, an historic and oldest hotel of Sydney. This is a popular "drinking hole" for workers before retiring home and tourists.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Time to take a view inside.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Tasty ;-)</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">And great old views.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Feel like you are in 1805. Relax and enjoy your tasteful VB ;-)</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">A view of the drink menu...</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The first and of course also the oldest church in Sydney, Garrison Church.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">At the weekends, head for <b> The Rocks Market</b>. Sydney's leading lifestyle market for quality arts, crafts, home wares, jewellery and collectibles.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The all weather market is home to more than 150 magnificent stalls every weekend from 10 am till 5 pm.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Or just relax and rest the legs at the many terraces.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">There is something for every shopper at The Rocks, from fashion to home wares, antiques to souvenirs. The Rocks is a show case for quality Australian (including Indigenous) arts and crafts and innovative design. Restored terraces and historic buildings now house galleries, boutiques and speciality stores.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Observer Hotel, with a pleasant outdoor eatery.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The Rocks is one of the easiest places to get to in Sydney. It is in within 5 minutes walk, train, busses and ferries and is well served by taxis.</font></p>
</body>
<body>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">However for the more energetic, The Rocks is in a comfortable walking distance of Sydney's CBD where many international hotels are located.</font></p>

 What you say about Kings Cross is spot on. A real good range of tips on my current hometown.

 Absolutely excellent tips on my home city Ron. Maybe I should consult with you on what to do before I go into town next time.
