DarlingHarbour is one of the most popular travel recreation spots in Sydney. The area has a colourful history playing an integral role in Sydney's early market days when it was used for receiving fresh produce and timber from Parramatta and the north coast. In 1984 the Wran Government announced plans to redevelop the old wharves into an area for leisure, culture and business for the people of Sydney.
Today, it is a great place for shopping, eating and drinking at DarlingHarbour.
Facilities
There are a number of major facilities and attractions in the DarlingHarbourprecinct. For example:
Last time, I choose ferry to go to the DarlingHarbour. It is from Meadowbank to DarlingHarbour. It took me about 40 minutes to reach there. This time, my friend and I droved down to the DarlingHarbour in the evening.
Eating and Drinking
There are more than 50 restaurants and cafes near the Harbourside. It is also a perfect place to have happy hour if u had preferred liquid refreshments.
Gold coast is a coastal city in Brisbane, South East Queensland in Australia. There are many famous tourist spots. Except many beaches, theme park is travelers’ first choice! Today, I will introduce one of the famous theme parks in gold coast, Movie World, which has left a deep impression on me during my holiday.
If you like exciting game such asroller coaster, there is Superman Escape. That is the most popular one there. I have tried it, that is great, a superman beside the roller coaster that seems like he to give an impetus to the roller coaster. ” It is he helps us escape!!”
The streets in Movie World are special, like many funny shops. Journey to the Centre of the Earth, the 4D adventure movie on the left is attractive. This attraction involves strobes and sudden movements. The movement of the seats includes tilting and jarring actions simulation dramatic action packed events. That is my first experience of 4D movies. But a limited number of motionless seating is available; please check with attendants at the attraction.
Finally, there is show every day! I joined 20th Birthday All Star Parade presented by Streets Ice Cream. All Star Parade goes party crazy including Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. Gang, Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes characters as well as Batman and the villains.
My favorite is Tweety Bird. See, she’s dance is really nice. She made me buy a doll of Tweety to home!!!
If you are a fan of movies, you must never miss Movie Worldddddddd!!!

Summer is coming, that is time for you to go somewhere to play with friend. And today, I will introduce an interesting place to you which is Manly Beach. Manly Beachis among the most exquisite beaches in the city of Sydney. From north to south, the three main sections are Queenscliff, North Steyne, and South Steyne.The Fairy Bower and the Shelley Beach is situated close to Manly Beach. There is a walk way that goes along the sea.
How to go to manly beach? It is easy to travel from Sydney's main ferry terminal, Circular Quay, takes 30 minutes by ferry or you can catch the bus from Chastwood. Here is the video give to you some useful information:
The beach is every bit as beautiful as the more famous beaches such as Surfer’s paradise and Bondi Beach, but if you compare these in terms of fame, you will find that Many is a lot lesser known with foreign tourists, and is often neglected. Manly Beach is a good place whether you are a surfer .If you happen to crazy about surfing, Fairy Bower is an obvious destination. The waves here are huge. The large right hand waves break right over the reef, providing a magnificent surfing experience. The beach is situated close to the Sydney Harbour National Park.
In addition, within walking distance of Manly Beach along the oceanway is Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach. There are shops, restaurants, night clubs, and dive bars in town. And the Corso, a pedestrian plaza and one of Manly's main streets for shopping and dining, runs from the ferry wharf and harbour beach, across the peninsula to Manly Beach.
Manly Beach is good ideal to visit in this summer with your family or friend. Let's enjoy your life!!!!
There are fruit shop, sushi bar and fresh seafood shop in the market.
I really want to try Rock lobster, but it is toooooooo expensive for me. So I jsut took some photos.
My favourite seafood is oysters and shrimps, and my friend chose the BBQ food and Salt and Pepper Squid. I prefer to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Please go there earlier, it is crowed and very hard to find seats.
In my opinion, Sydney Fish Market is worth to visiting and enjoy the meal on then wharf.
