I didn't exactly expect to watch live football in my first 2 days in Australia, but as an added bonus I did! On arrival at Sydney Airport, I noticed a light blue Sydney FC kit being sold in one of the shops, and with it a fixture list for the local team, which revealed they had a home match against Brisbane Roar just two days later.

Sydney harbour bridge. 134 Metres up and one hell of a climb. This is the best thing I’ve done in Sydney. Very informative and very good views. We were all told to put our sexy climb suits on and because is was a bit windy we were given over pants, and some other stuff to keep us warm and dry. Our guide gave us a headset and off we went. The first bit was easy, but we soon...

I was going to give the ongoing 'front-view mirrors' thread a rest, but Peter Miller in Sydney has had such a startlingly original idea I simply can't resist. He writes: Chris, Hi! I too have been experimenting with mirrors for the 17 foot Dory I row on Sydney Harbour. I tried some caravan towing mirrors on either side of a plank going across my boat but found they would often...

Taking a cue from "the Bridge Climb at the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where visitors pay about $200 for a guided trek along catwalks, up and down ladders and along the outer arch of the coat-hanger-shaped bridge," Golden Gate Bridge officials see a possible source of revenue in an interactive visitor experience.

You Only Live Once @ Bondi Beach So make the best out of it! I've such a great time in Sydney that I think this picture best described my time there. There were just so much to see and experience that one week is not even enough for me to cover all the picturesque spots there. The Bondi Beach (pronunced as Bond-eye) is one of Australia's most famous beaches with just 7 km drive east of Sydney's...

... love walking across the Tyne Bridge on a Blue Sky Day. (This bridge was the model for the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I have seen this bridge also. Not as nice as ours, but I did see a whale whilst I was on it, so maybe it does have some advantages...) The Sage is the strangest looking building I have ever come across but I can't help but love how its curves mirror the meanders of the...

We went to Sydney today! Bright lights and big city! We caught the ferry from Manly through Sydney harbour, past the opera house and alongside the harbour bridge. Met some strange man all covered in paint and doing even funnier dancing than mine. Mum said he was called an Ab-or-genie. He didn't come out of a lamp though. We walked across the bridge as it cost too much dosh...
