Beautiful city wilderness |
Between Oxford St & Alison Rd Paddington Sydney, NSW 2021 Australia +61 (0)2 9339 6699 http://www.cp.nsw.gov.au info@cp.nsw.gov.au |
If you need a quick country fix, this is it; 220 hectares of unspoilt parkland just minutes from the city centre. Paddington pooches, young Mums, picnickers, in-line skaters and the obsessively fit, all make the most of this perfect park. It is lush, green, and due to its size, relatively uncrowded. Make the most of the free barbecues and picnic areas, and if you forget to take your own comestibles, there are several kiosks serving drinks and refreshments throughout the park. Admission is free.

Tourist haven |
Darling Harbour Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia +61 (0)2 9240 8500 http://www.darlingharbour.com.au |
Darling Harbour is one big showcase of fun and entertainment. Once a thriving dockland, it was redeveloped in 1988 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia and began with the construction of a large exhibition and conference centre, which has been complemented with the addition of shops, restaurants and other attractions. The huge waterfront tourist and leisure park literally hums with its emphasis on family entertainment. Highlights include Sydney Aquarium, the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sega World, the Chinese Garden, Star City Casino, the enormous IMAX Cinema and the Powerhouse Museum. Darling Harbour is a year-round beehive of activity with events for the entire family winter, spring, summer, and fall. Over the Christmas holiday season, the harbour is a magical festival featuring live music, entertainment, christmas tree lighting, search-for-Santa, and Christmas carols. So, if you're travels find you in Sydney during the holiday season, Darling Harbour is the place to be. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Family swimming pool |
Fitzroy Avenue Balmain Sydney, NSW 2041 Australia +61 (0)2 9555 1903 |
Recently restored to its former, Victorian glory, this harbourside pool provides a haven for inhabitants of the inner west. Children and teenagers love to congregate here at the weekend while lappers take advantage of the 50 metre pool area. Swimming can be dubious after heavy rain, or during other adverse environmental conditions, but it is reassuring to know that Harbourwatch checks the water regularly! Free hot showers and handy kiosk. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Big beautiful active park |
217 Kildare Road Doonside Sydney, NSW 2767 Australia +61 (0)2 9622 1644 guardian@idx.com.au |
Just one hour out of Sydney this is Australia's largest private collection of native animals. In a bush land setting, the collection includes koalas, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, emus, dingoes, crocodiles, Tasmanian devils, fairy penguins and a large number of native birds. An "Australian style" cafe, barbecues, picnic areas and a large souvenir shop are just some of the distractions from the "furry" friends. Review © 2007, Wcities |

First inhabited in 1788 by a biscuit stealer, Fort Denison was an isolated prison for Sydney's most dangerous convicts. Also known as "Pinchgut" due to the meagre rations given to its prisoners, the island has a grim history of incarceration. These days, the island is a part of Sydney Harbour National Park and visitors are offered a cannon museum, a bell tower, a working tide gauge, a beautiful view and cafeteria. Bookings essential. Cost:Fort Denison Heritage Adults AUD22; children AUD18. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Panorama and park |
Watsons Bay Sydney, NSW Australia +61 2 9255 1788 (The Rocks Visitors Centre) |
When international director and closet ghoul Alfred Hitchcock visited Sydney in the sixties this was his infamous point of reference. Locals know, and tourists do not, that this is not only the last stop for the desperate few, it's also a beautiful location for a spectacular scenic cliff top walk that begins at The Gap Park. Located within the Watson's Bay area, it is an ideal place to sample fish and chips down at the wharf or take a leisurely walk to the eye opening nudist beach, Lady Jane. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Manicured city park |
Elizabeth St and College St Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia +61 2 9286 0111 (Darling Harbour Visitors Centre) |
Aside from the beautifully kept gardens, Hyde Park provides a tranquil haven to the thousands of daily urban commuters amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday Sydney. Not only a sanctuary to the overworked, it is a fitting home to the famous 1934 Art Deco Anzac War Memorial, and the Archibald Fountain--a magnificent bronze and granite fountain commemorating the French and Australian alliance in World War I. Hyde Park looks particularly attractive at night when thousands of tiny fairy lights twinkle amidst the boughs of the ancient trees, which line the walkways. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Graycliffe Avenue Vaucluse Sydney, NSW 2030 Australia +61 2 9255 1788 (The Rocks Visitors Centre) |
Panoramic views over Port Jackson, a protected shark-proof harbour beach and a shady, pretty park are a few of the reasons that people flock (or pack) this park every summer. It is a lovely, peaceful place set in the upmarket area of Vaucluse. If hunger strikes and you have not bought a picnic basket there is always the Nielsen Park Kiosk, a great Italian restaurant or its adjoining snack bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Owned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, this patch of land is like a floating park, covered in seagulls, a couple of picnic shelters and a few big boulders.

Mrs Macquaries Road Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia +61 2 9231 8111 / +61 2 9231 8125 http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/ |
This large public space is best known for its popular, free January concerts, and as a rallying point for Sydneysiders whenever debatable issues of public importance have arisen. In 1931 it attracted an enormous crowd of more than 100,000 protesting against the Governor General's dismissal. These days the large crowds are on a rather more peaceful mission, they pack a picnic and a bottle of wine and serenade to the sounds of Jazz in the Domain and Symphony in the Domain.

This Australian location is a pilgrimage destination for visitors around the world; however it is a fully functional and operational cemetary first. In spite of its local, state, and national significance and being a treasure trove of history Waverley Cemetery receives no government funding for its operation. All revenue is derived from the provision of their services (the sale of Rights of Burial in graves and memorial gardens, burials and ash interments, grave maintenance plans, guided tours, etc).
