Welcoming 2015 made me think back to how I have spent all of my New Years in the past. That's when I realised without a doubt one of the most memorable New Years (or perhaps even one of my most memorable nights) was spent at the Sydney Opera House forecourt. That's how I decided that my next blog post would be all about my hometown.

I absolutely love Sydney. No matter how far away I travel there's something irreplaceable about where I call home. This city just keeps becoming more beautiful and interesting on each return. I must admit whenever I'm asked about where I come from I can't help but recommend Sydney as a place to visit. I could easily end up talking about why I love it here so much and what there is to do for hours if you let me.


So why do I love Sydney and its stunning harbour? That's easy. I've lived here all my life and I haven't even scratched the surface on what there is to do here. For example you can take a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly or Taronga Zoo, hop on board a jet boat, take a dinner cruise, or even have a go at paddle boarding and that's all just on the water! Apart from hanging out on the water all day there's a few must do activities when you're visiting Sydney - climbing the Harbour Bridge, watching a show at the Opera House, walking through the markets at The Rocks, and choosing where to eat and drink out of the many wonderful restaurants and bars. One of my personal favourites is Opera Bar, how could you beat that view?

There's always something happening in Sydney which makes anytime of the year perfect for visiting. From Sydney Festival in January, Vivid Festival in June and of course Christmas and New Year's Eve in December. For more information on everything that Sydney has to offer head over to City of Sydney where you can read about all of the events, attractions and maps.
