Sydney Holiday

Next holiday, Sydney please!

If you are planning for a vacation, Sydney ought to be the number one option on your list. It is a place like no other having weather that favors holidaying. You may want to get away to enjoy the very white sand beaches that line the coast of this city. Other than this you will find a myriad of activities that you can engage in that will make your holiday memorable and leave you yearning for more.

One of the places to visit (among a long list of attractions) is the Sydney Observatory. Standing on the observatory hill located in a place known as Rocks, the observatory building is an interesting old building that has remained standing for a very long time. It is a building made of sand stone. It was originally built to allow for the observation of a returning comet which ‘never returned’. It also houses a time ball that would drop at one o’ clock everyday. This would serve as an announcement of the correct time to the city below. In this same building you can be able to observe stars as well as planets in the evening. There is a modern telescope that is used for this but the oldest telescope in Sydney is also present and in use.

The Chinese Friendship Garden is also a good place to visit. It is located in the Darling Harbor and is quite close to China Town. In it you will find the dragon wall that was built to show the cooperation betweem Guangzhou and New South Wales. The Chinese Friendship garden was designed and built by Chinese architects. You can be able to attend some of the festivals that are held at this garden of which most show case the eastern cultures. A meal of Chinese delicacies should top it up for you at the end of the exploration of the garden.

When thinking of a holiday, Sydney is like no other.

Sydney’s breathtaking high standing attractions

The Sydney city is well endowed with a fair number of attraction sites. All year round thousands and thousands of tourists flock this capital of New South Wales State to tour some of this attractions. If you happen to be a person who is thrilled by heights then the following sites are a must for you.

The Sydney Harbor Bridge: This is an all known bridge that allows people to cross the Sydney harbor. It has a unique design that makes it look like a coat hanger. In fact it is locally referred to as the coat hanger. To allow people to view the city from the bridge, a viewing point has been made at the south east end of the bridge. Also you can join in one of the adventure climbs that take place on the southern side of the bridge. You have to be ready for this climb as it actually does take some time. This obviously means that you also have to be physically fit for this bridge climbing activity. Before you set out you will be given some instructions and some safety equipment then you can embark on the adventure.

The other place that will thrill your height loving self is the Sydney tower.
This tower standing at 1001 feet tall is the tallest building in Sydney and comes second in Australia. Acknowledging the need for people to view and go up the building there are three areas that the public has been given access to. The first at 820 feet high is an observation deck that is enclosed. Here you can be able to have a 360 degrees bird’s eye view of the city. The second point at 879 feet high is an open air skywalk. For this however, you have to make prior arrangements to tour the place. The last, are two revolving restaurants. For me this is the show stopper. What could be more exciting than having a meal way up above the ground as you slowly revolve allowing you view the beauty of Sydney?
