Sydney in October?
Hello,
My name is Kathy andI'm new to this newsgroup so here goes. I'm planning a tentative trip to visit Sydney. and would like to take my husband, mom, brother and his 2 teenage boys. My husband and I have been to Sydney before but that was in March and it was lovely. Unfortunately, my husband can only get October off so that is when we'll go. We understand the season is opposite to us here in Canada so we know we'll be going into an Australian Spring is it? In that case, is the water warm enough to swim in? I have so many questions, it's awful. We have relatives in Manly but they can't put us all up, of course. Me, my husband and mom would like to rent a relatively decent place to stay for about 2 weeks. I cruised the web and found an outfit called, ManlyBeachApartments.com. Could anyone reading this reccommend it? Or would there be an alternative? We'd like to take at least 2 days to go to Katoomba (I have to go back there!) and also to visit a place called the Australian Reptile Park that the boys heard about which isn't too far out of Sydney, I understand. I'd be grateful for any reply and thank you. Kathy in Canada |

Hey Kathy!!
You can find lots of great info on Sydney and the Reptile Park at www.tripadvisor.com I find this website is really good when planning a trip. I can't give you specific help with your questions as I don't live in Sydney so can't really answer them properly. I hope you have a blast - I'd love to go to Canada one day! wendy -- -------------------------------------- șoș Going to WDW September '04 "woodsie" wrote in message ... it'll be spring, but weather temps vary when it comes to swimming. pack ur bikin anyway In article uvfnc.33639$U75.113@edtnps89, Kathy Garner wrote: Hello, My name is Kathy andI'm new to this newsgroup so here goes.

Hey Wendy, thanks!
I'll try the tripadvisor site you suggest. One other question. Do you know anything about the Sydney Fish Market. My husband and I went there last year but we were late and only could stay a short while before it closed. I remember lots of stalls but wonder now which would be the best seafood as we're crazy about it. Yeah, Canada is a wonderful place...particularly BC as that's where we are. It's a lot warmer than the rest of the country. Thanks again, Kathy wendy wrote: Hey Kathy!!

The Sydney Fish Markets are a great place for seafood meals at a reasonable
price. Good views but not much in the way of 5-star ambience. Get there about 11.45am for lunch. -- The Commissioner www.the-commissioner.com "Kathy Garner" wrote in message news:Wlync.31136$LA4.18563@edtnps84... Hey Wendy, thanks!

Thanks Geoff. Yes, it will be a definite place to eat - probably more
than once, I'm sure. As accommodation will use up most of our budget, we'll need places like that to nosh. I've also heard that the pier on Manly Beach has some good take-aways. Many thanks again.

Plenty of good take-away meals in Manly. The Ferry Pier is a bit up-market.
Try in the Corso which leads to the beach -- The Commissioner www.the-commissioner.com |

ManlyBeachApartments seem to own (or manage) a great many of the apartments available for rent in Manly, in a variety of buildings and prices, so they probably have something suitable. I've had no personal experience renting through them, however. Jean http://www.avalook.com.au/ |
