DK Travel : Sydney

Sydney is blessed with stunning ocean beaches, magnificent national parks and a wonderful subtropical climate that makes the great outdoors irresistible to its four million inhabitants. The Eora people, the Aborigines who settled around Sydney Harbour, arrived approximately 50,000 years ago, while the white settlers arrived just over 200 years ago. Free settlers soon followed in the wake of the First Fleet of transported convicts, and after them several waves of migrants seeking a new life. Now, two centuries later, the once far-flung penal colony has matured into a culturally diverse, tolerant and mesmerizing city. Ideally located on the world’s most beautiful harbour, Sydney is as exciting and bustling as it is laid back and relaxing.

Cook & Phillip Park

In the heart of the CBD; also has a gym. Indoor.
Corelli’s Café

A bohemian vibe and large servings.
Cottage Point Inn

A fantastic waterside restaurant that can be reached by seaplane, ferry or car, serving the best Australian food. Meet the local kookaburras, enjoy the views of the rugged beauty of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and visit Palm Beach, the location for 'Home and Away'.
Cronulla

This beach in the southern suburbs was immortalized in Puberty Blues . Still a grommet (young surfer wannabes) training ground, it hasn’t lost any of its teen appeal. Grab a chiko roll and get into the spirit.
Crows Nest Plaza

This little shopping mall has a clutch of good, cheap diners serving Himalayan, Japanese, Indian and Singaporean cuisines.
Cruise

Cruise offers great views of the Opera House. Modern and stylish, the glowing feature wall of this bar periodically changes in colour and mood. A chic crowd makes up for the slightly haphazard service.
Cruise Bar & Restaurant

This swanky bar is perfectly placed for Opera House views and offers an extensive cocktail list.
Crumpler

Need a bag that will last a 100 years? That’s the guarantee Crumpler gives you on their backpacks, laptop carriers, iPod holders and bean bags.
Culture Vultures

The Art Gallery of New South Wales has an extensive program of events for children of all ages. School holidays are peak times with special performances and workshops. There are kids’ art classes once a month and Fundays on most Sundays, at 2:30pm, at which your children might find themselves giggling at a mime artist or discovering Aboriginal art and culture.
Cycling

There are dedicated cycle tracks in Centennial Park and in streets throughout Sydney. For a real cycling adventure, take a tour of the foreshore and ride across the Harbour Bridge, or mountain bike down the lovely Blue Mountains with Boomerang Bicycle Tours.
