LETS GET ACQUAINTED

                      TOP TIP

To help kick jetlag to the kerb, we recommend

A great place to do just that is Centennial Park.
You can also hire a bike within the park and
even book a horse ride. If you prefer to relax
then Sydney has so many great beaches, Bondi
Beach is the most popular and has a bunch of
great organic cafes and restaurants to try some

restaurant is Icebergs Dinning Room. The
restaurant is perched on a cliff over looking the
ocean pool and across Bondi Beach.If you would
prefer a personalised guide to show you the
hidden gems and introduce you to the locals way
of life, then you might prefer to book our

history, culture and lifestyle of Australia. We
stop for lunch at a private yacht club in the
Eastern suburbs of Sydney. If you are still
