There
are a number of suburbs which make up a part of the city and also
surrounding the city. Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and Paddington are inner-city suburbs situated
to the East of the city. Moving further east you'll come across
the upper-class suburbs of Double Bay and Vaucluse.
If you
are looking for a beach resort visit Bondi
or Coogee, South East of
the city. West of the city is Pyrmont, Newtown and Leichhardt, along with Glebe and Balmain, two peninsula suburbs. The
Western suburbs end at the Blue Mountains 50km from the city,
including the Parramatta and Penrith settlements. There are 4
airports in Sydney, although the main airport is the Kingsford-Smith
Airport. The Kingsford-Smith Airport is in Mascot on Botany Bay,
which can be found South east of the city centre.
The
suburbs in the North part of the city are called the North Shore.
They stretch 20km North of the city centre. The suburbs also stretch
20km South marked, like the North, by various National Parks.

There are also plenty of areas close
enough to Sydney to be suitable for a rewarding day trip
or longer stay. Heading about 1 hour west you will come
across the marvelous Blue
Mountains, which offers spectacular natural scenery
and gives you an opportunity to witness the famous blue
haze. |
Heading roughly two and a half hours north
from Sydney is Port Stephens,
a beautiful port known for its resident dolphins and local
fishing. Nelson Bay
makes a lovely place to stay. |

The Hunter
Valley is also only a short drive away from both
Sydney and Port Stephens. You really must visit, as the
scenery and landscape is truly beautiful. The wines are
also a good reason to go, as there are so many delicious
wines to sample and buy. |
