Think you've seen Sydney? Megan Singleton rounds up some lesser-known highlights.
Being a surfie chick had always eluded me and I'm sorry to say, despite the best efforts of Let's Go Surfing based at Bondi Beach, it still is. However joining a group or one-on-one lesson is a great reason to hit the waves on this iconic beach - and hopefully you'll do better than me, aka Bridget Jones on the water. Here is my blog on the matter.
Camping in safari tents in Taronga Zoo is probably the most unusual thing you can do in the bustling city of Sydney. Gone are the pup tents and in their place are luxury canvas accommodations with a double bed or singles. They can sleep up to four lucky souls who arrive after hours and get a sneaky tour of what the animals get up to after dark. Dinner and breakfast is included, as well as a behind the scenes tour the next morning before the zoo opens. Expect your sleep to be disrupted by wildlife.
