Vibrant City Natural Beauty
Sydney is a vibrant harbourside city with an incredible variety of attractions and sights to see. If you love the outdoors, inspiring architecture, contemporary art and craft… or eating out, you’ve come to the right place! Not only is there an abundance of places to visit in and around the city and harbour, but within 1-2 hours drive from the CBD you can be enjoying a coffee in a quaint mountain village, or walking a deserted coastal track.
Under the ‘Explore Sydney & Surrounds’ menu you will find a selection of fabulous destinations, simply select the area of Sydney that interests you. Each outing takes you on a tour of the area, introduces you to walks, galleries, architecture and most importantly somewhere to eat and drink 🙂 So, put on your walking shoes, grab an appetite and get out and about!
Explore Sydney – Inspiring Walks
Many Sydney councils maintain a vast network of superb bush tracks, these are usually well documented on their websites. Also, with an abundance of beaches, bays and coastal rock platforms, you could easily spend hours just exploring the pools or strolling the beach. While there is no shortage of natural environments to explore, beautiful village and suburb walks offer great alternatives. We love to wander through the CBD, a most inspiring space, with glass skyscrapers, street sculpture and lush gardens!

Contemporary architecture around Sydney is often contrasted beautifully with historic buildings and leafy outlooks. The glass office towers create wonky reflections of the surrounding areas. Narrow alley ways frame the old and new, inviting one to explore a little further. Sydney is a city filled with interesting angles, the perfect place for photographers to be creative.

INFORMATION & LINKS
Places change, they come and they go. I will do my best to keep each post current. If you find links that don’t work or places mentioned that no longer exist I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
