Sydney Travel Information

tony — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 03:12:17 +0000

Sydney’s laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world’s easiest and most pleasant cities to visit. The people who live here are a friendly, energetic bunch with a tell-it-like-it-is approach to life as visitors to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games found out for themselves.

When it comes to which city is Australia’s true global city, there’s no argument. It’s Sydney – with its sense of style, its love of sport and exuberant celebrations including New Year’s Eve and Australia Day. All of its attributes lie within easy reach of the city centre. Sydney’s harbour is its natural playground, the dominant factor in so much of what the city has to offer. The city has a wide-ranging cultural life, dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches and five major national parks deliver unforgettable experiences.

Gateway to Australia and set on one of the world’s most stunning harbours, Sydney extends north and south of the harbour in a golden chain of easy-to-reach, inner-city beaches.

The temperate climate delivers warm summers and mild winters, with rainfall spreading throughout the year. January, the city's warmest month, averages temperatures between 18.6 °C and 25.8 °C. This warm climate attracts people to Sydney's iconic beaches, most notably Bondi and Manly, almost all year round.

Sydney is easily accessed by car and public transport. Sydney's Orbital road network is made up of 10 motorways linked with expressways, freeways and other main roads to get you around the city and surrounding areas. A public transport network of buses, CityRail trains, monorails and Sydney ferries, service Sydney's major tourist attractions including beaches and shopping precincts.

...the place to relax

Just a two hour drive south of Sydney, the Shoalhaven warmly welcomes you and your family to one of the jewells of New South Wales. You’ll find friendly people, bountiful fresh produce, a rich local culture combined with many natural and built tourist attractions for you to enjoy, during your stay.

Regional flavours draw visitors to the Shoalhaven to sample the delights of our restaurants and cafes, fresh produce and local wine. Boutique producers supply locally grown fruit and vegetables, dairy, coffee and olives from farm gates and stores.

The friendly, historic town of Berry is known as the town of trees. Nestled beneath rolling hills, the township has a character, warmth and charm retained from its early days. The market day on the first Sunday of the month brings people from near and far.

No visit to the city is complete without a trip to the unspoiled Jervis Bay and the township of Huskisson, surrounded by spectacular beaches, the bay has many unforgettable stretches of sparkling, white sand including magnificent Hyams Beach.

Jervis Bay

The star attractions of Jervis Bay are the humpback whales, their acrobatic antics an awe-inspiring thrill to watch. They make their passage up the east coast to mate in the warm tropical waters of Queensland, and Jervis Bay is a regular haunt on their journey especially for mothers who take a day or two to rest their weary, new born calves. Whale-watching tours are offered to see these great mammals during June and July and again in the September to November season.

The history of the area revolves around the bay and its ship-building activities, the local timber industry supporting the building of sailing vessels and steamers. The Lady Denman Heritage Complex in Huskisson has a variety of permanent and travelling exhibitions, with the ferry Lady Denman housed in the museum being the showcase and pride of the complex. The museum concentrates on the history of Jervis Bay and district, including early exploration, the timber industry, Aboriginal history, early settlement, lighthouse history, shipwrecks, coastal shipping, whaling history and Naval base history.

With sheltered coves providing safe mooring and great fishing opportunities, the Jervis Bay area is a favourite for avid sailors. All of the townships in the area are positioned on the coast, taking great advantage of the fantastic coastal and basin views, sun, surf and sea atmosphere.

There are good holiday services for the holiday maker and lots of accommodation from top-of-the-range guesthouses and bed and breakfasts to motels, tourist parks, holiday cottages and eco-camping.
