It is difficult to pin point exactly what it is about Sydney that is able to charm all travellers, even those who prefer the wilderness.

Perhaps it is the fact that the heart of the city's downtown and classic residential precincts are built around a vast meandering harbour; a harbour alive with old world ferries, modern jet cats, world class racing yachts, exclusive charter vessels and sea planes ready to fly you away to a secluded hideaway or waterfront restaurant in the bush.

Sydney is a cosmopolitan melting pot of two centuries of new settlers from all parts of the globe. They have brought their food, which together with Aboriginal bush food, has inspired what today is world renowned as the dynamic new Australian cuisine.

A day in Sydney can be as hectic as taking a ferry just minutes from your hotel to a waterfront restaurant, to dine on a luncheon banquet of modern local cuisine based on flavours and food from the Australian bush.

Imagine arriving by ferry for an exclusive behind the scenes visit with one of the leading specialists on native animals at Australia's oldest zoo. With the laughter of the kookaburras behind you and the Opera House/Harbour Bridge in the distance, one realises there are few cities worldwide like this!

Your opportunity to experience inner city culture, Opera House performances, journeys on the waterways and flights to the bush will leave an everlasting, rich memory of your time spent in Sydney & its surrounds.
