Glamorous, sleek and shiny, Sydney is the show-off of Australian cities, and with an unsurpassed natural setting, world famous landmarks, beautiful people and beautiful weather, it certainly has a lot to show-off about. In contrast to Melbourne's more understated charm, Sydney is loud, proud, out-there and in-your-face. Like its famous Mardi Gras, Sydney is glittery, glitzy, fabulous and a lot of fun, and close enough to the more tranquil regions north and south for a quick escape when the look-at-me atmosphere starts to get a bit wearing. Stay for a week, enjoy the good life on offer, then move on to more relaxed locations where those unfashionable travelling clothes no longer have to be hidden in shame.
