You have chosen a great location in North Sydney. We had friends for many years living at Cremorne Point and it was a great spot to view the NYE fireworks on Sydney Harbour. If you like walking(and it's not too hot) there are a couple of excellent walks from C P. giving lovely views.

You’d better pack your factor 4.
Best of luck for the season and safe trip to you!!'"
Yes looking forward to sharing some beers with Wigan and Rhino's fans during the trip. We fly out 2nd Feb and back on the 23rd.

i've got friends who live in the next area to the north (cammeray) and they recommended the point as its a nice area. you walk a few hundred metres down from the hotel and theres a jetty for getting the ferry across to the city. really looking forward to walking around the area

| if you want to get out and about by bike in Sydney, Bonza bike tours hire out bikes, helmets (mandatory in australia) bags and tools - everything you need for a spin round the city. 40 dollars for a day. a word of warning though, Sydney isn't the friendliest cycle city in the world, especially when it comes to riding on the road, away from the cycle paths

| I've heard there are some good runs along the front in Woolongong with exercise stations at regular intervals.
Boot camps on the beach as well.

Doing Dolls Point on the 10th. We had planned to do Albert Park on the 17th but we'll be heading back to Sydney instead at that time.

I did the Albert Park Parkrun when in Melbourne for the World Cup. Made most welcome and a lovely run. Started at 8.00 though so an early start.

pffft don't worry about that, there are bikes everywhere, just download an app, find a bike, scan the barcode & away you go, much cheaper & more convenient, you just leave it by the side of the road when youre finished

| Quote: Tarquin Fuego "I live in Melbourne and Sydney is not known for rail
Trains can be expensive and not like Europe at all
Uber is very cheap here
However here is a must to save $$$$$ from arrival
There is a train at Sydney airport - use it to get to central Sydney
You are looking at 6 quid a pint minimum probably 8 quid in Sydney
Much better off buying cold cans from Off licence and drinking in a park or the wine is very cheap in a box for example , depends on budget
As long as you behave well people can drink around the many BBQ areas they provide for free
Just bring your own sausages etc
Aussies are quite particular about cleanliness and good social manners
However having been on a couple of Barmy Army tours they absolutely love a great laugh and singing
Aldi is cheap as chips here and the street food/ Vietnamese etc is to die for
Wollongong will defo roll the carpet out and there will be loads to do
And see for couple days
It will be humid and around 30c
Byron Bay is great for a departure from
Sydney and Melbourne is the coolest city in Aus by a mile and an hour flight from Sydney
My 50th lads weekend is in Wollongong so I can't wait'"
8 squids for a pint??? pffft dont be silly, are you sure you live here?? you won't get hit up for that much unless youre really ripped off, and if you have any brains you won't be drinking pints, they go warm too fast in the hot weather & you'll struggle to find a pint anyway, stick to schooners, smaller, cheaper & more chance of staying cold
Wollongong won't know you are coming & its not like there is much to do there anyway, although for you poms you'll probably get a few cheap thrills out of some nice beaches, a few decent pubs etc, but if youre after somewhere livelier, get back to sydney as soon as possible
The trains to the Gong leave relatively often & are pretty cheap, dont bother with expensive tour buses etc, the trains are nice & air conditioned, serviced etc

Flights leaving Manchester on the 7th and returning on the 18th were £670 with minimal lay ups and an apartment with private bathroom (so many have shared bathrooms!) for 10 nights was £1085 making it just £1212.50 each. We're going to hire a car too so we have the freedom to get around and down to Wollongong.
189 sleeps!!!!

cars a god option, nice easy scenic drive down to the Gong, be careful going down the mountain into Wolongong, some good little trips down the coast from the Gong, try Kiama & Gerringong, Mick Cronin owns the pub at Gerringong, shouldn't be to hard to find, i believe he's usually up for a RL chat, also a bit further down is Berry, lovely little country town, very arty etc, better on a weekend, quite a few wineries around that way also
