Nurragingy Chinese Gardens

Sydney Siders, If you know what the Doonside area looks like in the Western Suburbs, you would NEVER (and I mean never in a million years) guess that in the middle of the Nurragingy Reserve (Knox Rd) would be this hidden gem. The Chang Lai Yuan Chinese Gardens was a late addition to the estate in 2013 and it's beautiful construction was a collaboration of ideas between Blacktown City Council and the Chinese Liaocheng Municipal Government to symbolise a gesture of friendship between the sistering cities.

The architectural designs are based on the Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Chinese Garden features a Gateway, Seven Arch Stone Bridge, Light Mountain Pavilion and Waterfall Gazebo. The view is nothing less of picturesque, a piece of oriental beauty admits the West. Come down to the Garden for a day with the family, a cute date or for time alone. Open everyday from 7am - 6pm the park offers not only wide grassy land to kick a ball around or sit around for a picnic but a serene tranquil atmosphere to escape from your reality.

This is one of my favourite places in Western Sydney and from these pictures you can see why

        You'll leave this place wanting to come back again and again

Circular Quay

Hello Sydney Siders!

Atmospheric, beautiful, hectic and frantic. The hub of activity and people... The stepping off to many of the sites and places of interest around Sydney.

Circular Quay has magnificent sights and views! 
Just look at the below beautiful panoramic photo! 
So go on... soak in the scenes, the people and the atmosphere!

Circular Quay is a must see for everyone! It's full of restaurants and walkways. The walkways will lead you to some of the most popular attractions in Sydney including the Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens, Harbour Bridge and the Rocks. 

There's always lots of people to see - from locals and tourists, to buskers, Aboriginal performers, street artists, living statues and musicians! 

Regular ferries depart from Circular Quay, to many attractions around Sydney like Darling Harbour, Taronga Zoo, Manly Beach etc and often one can see large ships cruising past. 

Why not jump aboard a jet speedboat and get given a WHIRLWIND tour of the Harbour which is really FUN and for THRILL seekers! For a BIGGER and BETTER but pricey but WORTH IT experience, why not live life on the edge in Sydney with the climb of your life, climbing the Harbour Bridge! 

Enjoy your Sydney adventure...

Stay tuned for more!
