Why Sydney, I Hear She is Overrated?

No, Sydney’s not overrated! If you are tired of Sydney you are tired of life! Or, is that London? Sydney was founded by Londoners, anyway, with many of her name places reflecting those of the mother country.  You have amazing Paddington for shopping. Kings Cross and Museum Stations look like a facsimile of the London Underground. Sydney has St. James, Dulwich Hill etc, etc, all from England. The comparison ends with names though, as Sydney’s moved forward. These days Sydney is a Fax Americana; very Hollywood.

What a Wonderful Clime…

Sydney has an incredible climate.  Days rarely rise above 30 degrees Celsius. Warm days and cool evenings greet the visitor for a comfortable visit.  The nut of it is – Sydney has a fantastic climate that means you are rarely uncomfortable. Arguably the best place on Planet Earth to spend a winter.
