My cousin (the half-hk one) came over to sydney to visit last month from his working holiday in nz and I took him around after work and during weekends...brought him to all the usual suspects such as Bondi Beach, The Rocks, Sydney Opera House,etc...but the one place i discovered whilst researching on where to bring him was the supposedly famous Bondi-Coogee Coastal Walk...i hadn't been myself...so this was a perfect chance to go...its a 6km walk along the coast from Bondi Beach all the way to Coogee Beach, passing Tamarama Beach, Bronte Beach, and other coastal suburbs...I greatly enjoyed it and it takes roughly 2 hrs to complete...very walkable in my opinion...those who come to Sydney and have the spare time should consider trying it out, very worth your time, believe me!!
I also discovered the Royal Botanic Gardens, which is beside the Art Gallery of NSW (one of my favourite haunts nowadays..hehe...i've always had the art genes in me..) and the views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House from the REG is simply spell-binding to say the least!!
Another place I went to during my cousin's stay in Sydney was the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains (which was really not very exciting..though i enjoyed the small town feel of Leura enroute..my first trip to rural NSW if i remember correctly...) and also the Sydney Olympic Park where the Sydney Olympic Games of 2000 were held...i enjoyed the place greatly...we were on a tour group and so had a quick drive thru complete with guided information by the tour guide...
Was a wonderful time spending time with my cousin on his this trip here...we also caught the Beijing Olympics Opening ceremony together, though, he dosed off after 30mins and i after an hour and a half or so...haha...cos we still had to wake up early the next morning for our Blue Mountains day tour...
