My Travels Neil Walker - View All

Sydney is an exciting and vibrant city with a lot to see and do.

Way back when I came to Sydney, I was drawn by the harbour, I just had to walk across the harbour bridge and then the beaches. Now years later, I still love to be by the harbour or one of the beaches ... Sydney just seems to get better every year.

My must sees are all free .. to walk Circular Quay with the Opera House and Bridge, Darling Harbour and the Botanical Gardens. With a stop for lunch or a glass of wine in a cafe, overlooking the ever busy harbour with the boats and ferries.

Its a city everyone should visit.
