Sydney Escort Tour Sydney is spectacularly built around the hills, fingers and coves of a brilliant blue harbour, port Jackson, the heart and soul of the city where Sydney escorts tour. The U-shaped circular Quay is the centre of most Sydney escort action. There, modern office towers, art deco architecture and iconic buildings such as the magnificent, white-shelled opera House, blend with the cobbled streets and colonial buildings of The Rocks, a rich reminder of Sydney’s convict heritage. For the culturally minded, a performance at the Opera House should not be missed with your Sydney Escort. For the adventurous, there is a climb up the iron-clad Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sights Art Gallery of NSW Customs House Fronting the Circular Quay area, Customs Square is itself a piece of history. On the square, the Customs House is an imposing building which has undergone a number of transformations, both inside and out, since it was built in 1885 as the first customs collection point in NSW. Built on land belonging traditionally to the Eora people, Customs House is also where the Union Fag was first raised in the colony. The five floors, built around an atrium, house some of Sydney’s best art exhibitions, history displays and eating places. Café Sydney on the fifth floor has an indoor and outdoor eating, and some of the best views of the bridge and the harbour. Ferries Little green ferries and more modern catamarans criss-cross the harbour as a means of commuting for many residents. So much of Sydney wraps around the central waterway, they also offer one of the best, cheapest and most scenic ways to see the city. The longest ferry ride to Manly takes about an hour. Tickets can be bout singly, though it is cheaper to buy a set of ten. Hyde Park Barracks Designed by convict architect Francis Greenway, the Hyde Park Barracks housed male convicts between 1819 and 1848 before becoming the Immigration depot and an asylum for single women and sydney escorts. Take a self-guided trip back in time to the dormitory that used to sleep an average of 600 men in hammocks. It is largely thanks to a healthy family of rats living in the barracks and the material and food they squandered that such an accurate museum has established. The Greenway Gallery at the barracks hosts temporary and usually worthwhile exhibitions relating to history, ideas and culture. The barracks is run by the Historic Houses Trust of NSW which presents excellent displays of history then and now at 11 different museums around Sydney. Manly A promenade heading north along the beach and beneath an avenue of Norfolk pines is as popular with roller-bladers and skateboarders as it is with walkers; it takes you to some of the best surf breaks along the coast including Freshwater and Qeenscliff- surf and body boards can be hired from almost any of the many surf shops in the Corso or on North Styne. Marine Parade heads south and follows the ocean foreshore past the delightful Fairy Bower ocean pool to the more secluded and picturesque Shelly Beach with its pretty pavilion restaurant. Walk up the hill for superb views of the coast and possibly a southern right whale. Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair and the Domain, More comfortable than it sounds, this sandstone rock on the headland above Farm Cover was especially fashioned for Governor Macquarie’s wife, Elizabeth, soon after the first settlement, so she could sit on the rock while surveying the wild, empty harbour waiting for ships carrying letters from ‘home’ to arrive from England. It’s now a favourite vantage point for photographers and to enjoy panoramic views of the Bridge. The magnificent harbour view north takes in Garden Island, a large naval base. Mrs Macquarie’s Rd leads to the Art Gallery of NSW and the public parkland of the Domain. |
