Having lived now in Sydney for a few years, I felt I now knew quite a bit about the city and some of its less famous features. The city is beautiful, but it has a lot more to offer than the superficial views of the harbour and its beaches. I think it's quite sad that most people, including many Sydney locals, never seem to get past that part of Sydney. For them, Sydney is nothing more than that initial layer.
They're missing out on a lot. Sydney is actually a city that has a deep multicultural base with people from around the world. You can get incredible foods and experiences originating from around the world if you only leave the city and drive a little bit further into the suburbs.
Beyond that there are also some incredible sights to be seen. One of my favourites would have to be Sydney Park. This is a huge area of park lands and manicured grass that sits to the south of the city. Every time I've been to visit, it's been relatively empty. The car park always has space and you can walk around the whole area without being disturbed. It rises up onto a hill which also gives an incredible view of the Sydney skyline from the southern side.
One afternoon, I took Manon and Gabby out to visit. We had been eating at the nearby Grounds of Alexandria, when I thought that it would be nice for us to walk around the park as well. Both of them loved the place. The enormous open space and the lawns give you a sense of freedom. You want to run and jump when you are out there.
Gabby made Manon and I walk out a bit because she wanted a picture. She decided that everything looked a bit too much like the Microsoft XP desktop picture.
