Sydney
Sydney, spectacularly draped around its glorious harbour and beaches, has a visual wow factor like few other cities. Scratch the surface and it only gets better.
Brash is the word that inevitably gets bandied around when it comes to describing the Harbour City; and lets face it, compared to its Australian sister cities, Sydney is loud, uncompromising and in your face. Fireworks displays are more dazzling here, heels are higher, bodies more buffed, contact sports more brutal, starlets shinier, drag queens glitzier and prices higher. Australias best musos, foodies, actors, stockbrokers, models, writers and architects flock to the city to make their mark, and the effect is dazzling: a hyperenergetic, ambitious, optimistic and unprincipled marketplace of the soul, where anything goes and everything usually does.
Defined just as much by its rugged Pacific coastline as its exquisite harbour, Sydney charms with its coastal setting. Jump on a ferry and its your oyster the harbour prises the citys two halves far enough apart to reveal an abundance of pearls. On the coast, Australia ends abruptly in sheer walls of sandstone punctuated by arcs of golden sand that are covered, in summer, with bronzed bodies making the most of a climate that encourages outdoor socialising, exercising, flirting and fun.
National parks ring the city and penetrate right into its heart. Large chunks of harbour are still bush-fringed, while parks cut their way through skyscrapers and suburbs. Consequently, native critters turn up in the most surprising places. Clouds of flying foxes pass overhead at twilight and spend the night rustling around in suburban fig trees; oversized spiders stake out corners of lounge-room walls; possums rattle over roofs of terrace houses; and sulphur-crested cockatoos screech from the railings of urban balconies. At times Sydneys concrete jungle seems more like an actual one and doesnt that just make it all the more exciting?
After a lazy Saturday at the beach, urbane Sydneysiders have a disco nap, hit the showers and head out again. Theres always a new restaurant to try, undercover bar to hunt down, hip band to check out, sports team to shout at, show to see or crazy party to attend. The citys pretensions to glamour are well balanced by a casualness that means a cool T-shirt and a tidy pair of jeans will get you in most places. But if you want to dress up and show off, theres plenty of opportunity for that among the sparkling harbour lights.
By Andy Symington
Sydney is full of charms, and the wonderful thing about the city is that people make a point of getting out there and enjoying them. Beaches, harbour, bars and restaurants; its always buzzing with multicultural Sydneysiders out for a good time. But theyre out there enjoying nature too. Growing up in a bushy suburb, Ive always appreciated the extraordinary amount of wild space pervading this large metropolis. Walking national park and shoreline paths is one of the citys great hidden delights, especially if you can get there on a harbour ferry, another love of mine.

Striking, unique, curvalicious is there a sexier building on the planet? Seeing such a recognisable object for the first time is always an odd experience. Depending on where you stand, the Opera House can seem smaller or bigger than you think its going to be. It confounds expectations but is never disappointing. Most of all, its a supremely practical building and what goes on inside (theatre, dance, concerts) can be almost as interesting as the famous exterior. Its a magnificent place.
