Visiting... Sydney

We’ve been to a few places in Australia in the last couple of months, including Sydney in May. The best thing about the country is its nature and untouched beauty; you have to see it to believe it. Australia is home to many different species of birds and animals not seen anywhere else in the world. It’s a delight for nature lovers like us who can fully immerse in its surroundings. Must-visits in and around Sydney are the Blue Mountains, Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Bondi Beach and Barangaroo area.

When we visited the Blue Mountains (a two-to-threehour drive from the airport), we stayed at Wombat Cottage at Majestic View, an Airbnb in the Hampton area. It was away from the main tourist attraction, the Three Sisters, but closer to the Jenolan Caves. We chose it as it was amidst the mountains overlooking the valley and is known to have kangaroos in the backyard (we were not disappointed). An area which stands out for its nightlife in Sydney is Barangaroo. It’s home to several pubs and bars and also offers tourists an option to take a sunset cruise with meals on board.
