You Deserve "That Special Sydney Holiday"

Every holiday should be special.

The best time to visit really depends on what you want to see, do, experience. The city is comfortable to visit at any time of year, but unless you enjoy humidity, broken by the odd torrential downpour, keep away in summer.

Well known attractions are "The Opera House", The Harbour and the bridge, Manly, The Rocks and many more. It is also the gateway to Australia.

If you want a holiday that is more than just memorable, one that will stay with you forever, then this website will take you there and guide you from first hand experience.

This personalised website provides all you're looking for.. and more! It's been our pleasure to set up this site in order to introduce you the visitor on holiday, vacation or business, to our home town.. one of the most fascinating and vibrant cities in Australia.

Since Jenny and I have lived here for the past 26 years and travelled extensively throughout the state and country, we can provide you with first hand, personal experiences and objectiveness you will not find anywhere else. Whatever you want, we can provide, if we don’t, let us know!

Autumn is delightful, especially around March and April, with clear, warm days and mild nights. In Spring (September to November)there's more chance of rain, but it usually clears quickly. Average temperatures are around 25°C (77°F), though it can get to over 40°C (104°F) in summer. By and large, Sydneysiders enjoy well over 300 sunny days a year.

It could certainly be during the Australian summer which starts on December 1 and ends on the last day of February. This is a time of great cultural activity -- outstanding theatre, street performances, art exhibitions -- as well as a time of pilgrimage to the beach.

So far, so good, but what happens next?

If you are looking for something very specific, just go searching now. We hope you have success in whatever you are searching for. Good luck
