Personal comments
Darling Harbour was always a great place to go to for a night out, as well as George Street in the CBD. I lived at Coogee Beach so my favorite local spot was the Coogee Bay Hotel. The Mardi Gras parade down Oxford Street is a must see in March. Sydney offers so many great cafes and Thai restaurants, Coogee Bay Road had a great selection as well as the main streetw in Glebe and Newtown. The markets in Sydney on the weekends are also fantastic.
