Sydney

We spent the first couple of days exploring Sydney and looking for a camper van. The first site we headed straight for was Sydney Harbour, The Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

The Opera House is huge! Its considered one of the wonders of the world and it was certainly spectacular close up. The building was designed by Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973. We spent some time walking around it. The Darling harbour was next where we would find Sydney Aquarium and the Australian National Maritime Museum. The aquarium is one of the largest in the world with 1000's of different species living in their natural habitat. Our next site was the Harbour Bridge, which we decided to walk along. The bridge's construction was completed in 1932 and provided an important quicker route of access between the city centre in the south and the residential area in the north. Its a great point to take pictures from as well!

Walking around the city is endless with its numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, pubs and clubs. Lots to see and do, but you'll end up with sore feet, so comfy footwear would be a good idea!

Another interesting part of Sydney is Kings Cross. Its renowned as the red light district of Australia. We walked though Kings Cross as we had heard there was an indoor car park there, where travellers were selling their camper vans. We found the car park, but unfortunately we couldn't find a van that we were happy with. We returned to our hostel to look again.
