New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state on the east coast of Australia. It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, and South Australia to the west.

Central Business District

Reviewed By on_the_go_98765

Although Melbourne is rapidly closing the gap, Sydney continues to occupy the position as the largest city in Australia. The CBD is home to so many major business headquarters that help define Sydney's financial heart. George Street is the main thoroughfare. As a result of this prominence, the CBD is a hub of constantly intense traffic and congestion and the crush of population involved in conducting business. For the average tourist not stuck in these miserable commutes (enjoying the freedom to miss peak hours of going and coming), it's a cornucopia of tourist attraction delights. The CBD is filled with skyscrapers intermixed with fine old historic buildings and it extends from about Circular Quay, along Sydney Cove, roughly ending a little past the Sydney Opera House. On the north side, Church Hill Street (so named for the prominence of churches and the compulsory requirement of convicts to attend church on Sunday) defines its boundary. Sydney's CBD is home to the 30-somethings of whom 99% live in apartments and rent 66% of those places. For us, the skyline views were ever-changing, according to the time of the day. Hot air balloons rising early in the pre-dawn hours, spectacular lights reflecting in the harbor at evening time, and the mid-day sun highlighting the gleaming structures along the bank of the crystal blue harbor waters. Sydney tends to be pretty humid and temperatures are higher than Melbourne's. Locals tell constant jokes about the mosquitoes (Aragon is their favorite repellant) and how heavy sunscreen has to be laid on. Maybe some of that talk is just to drive us all back home and leave Sydney alone? Sydney's CBD was easily explored from the Marriott's prime location near the Circular Quay.

Whale Beach

Beach located on Sydney's northern peninsula.

Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia

Whale Beach is a gorgeous spot, a relatively small beach of clean sand and sparkling water, defined by massive headlands at either end. The beach is patrolled and so swimming is quite safe - and there is lovely pool carved into the rock platform at the beach's southern end. It has long been one of my favourites in the Sydney area. The only negative is access: the beach is tricky to reach by public transport so basically you need a car to come here, and then parking is extremely expensive if you aren't a local resident. Unfortunately, free street parking is very hard to come by, too.

This area is a must to visit when in Sydney, it is especially beautiful in the Spring when the jacaranda trees line the streets. A great mix of high end fashion designer boutiques with some beautiful cafes to eat at too. Jackies is a must for brekky or lunch!

Now, we only visited during night time, the colorful surroundings, the bay, the atmosphere then the fireworks, was something really worthy. I’m sure if I visit it during the day will not be the same experience.
