🌍 About Sydney

Sydney is best understood from the water — the public ferry to Manly costs a standard fare and hands you the harbour, the Opera House and the Heads on the way. The walk worth doing is Bondi to Coogee: 6km of clifftop past five beaches and the ocean pools cut into the rock at Bronte and Clovelly, where you swim in the sea but out of the surf. Eat Sydney rock oysters, a small native species that's brinier and creamier than the usual Pacific kind. Skip the crowded Bondi cafés; the coffee's better in the inner west. Come in autumn (March–May) or spring (September–November) for mild days and thinner crowds — December–February is hot, humid, and priciest around Christmas and the New Year's fireworks.
