Sydney Australia – Travel Tips

So here are some travel tips for things to do in Sydney, Australia!

Sydney Beaches

Sydney is renowned for its beach-side suburbs, which include Manly, Bondi and Cronulla plus plenty more. During summer, these beaches are packed full of swimmers, who flock to enjoy the city’s beautiful sandy beaches. Like Rio de Janiero and Los Angeles, Sydney is somewhat unique in that it’s a major metropolis surrounded by beautiful beaches, making it an ideal holiday spot. If you’re heading to the beach in Sydney, don’t forget your sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen, as the UV rays here are extremely high.

Trains, buses

In the beginning . .

Before I start I’d just like to acknowledge the people at Expedia who gave us much needed help in a very professional manner.  Well done!

Here we go from Brisbane, Australia to New York or Bust!

Well, here we are at the Nerang railway station at 5:15 am after having nearly zero sleep last night, worrying if our taxi would pick us up on time .. would we remember to turn the water off .. or turn the hot water off .. or lock the house up etc etc.  All was good 🙂 (we hoped).  I held my trusty Samsung S750 camera out at arm’s length pointed and clicked.  At that time in the morning the flash had a terrible blinding effect.  Great, all we need to do now is step off the platform into the path of a city bound train.

Next stop Brisbane Airport

After battling through airport security we managed to get a good seat near the departure gate.  Something that I would later learn to be a real bonus.  Okay, so I looked out the window to take a snap shot of the plane that was to carry all the people and all their luggage, and there it was .. IT’S TOO SMALL  ARRRGGGGH!  That thing has to fly non-stop to LA, 17,000 miles, for 13+ hours!
