Darling Harbour

Advantages: A Fantastic place to stop a relax
Disadvantages: None that I can think of...

...Darling Harbour is a small area of Sydney that lies alongside the Chinese garden and only about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Sydney. The atmosphere in the harbour is much more relaxed than in the centre of the city and it seems as if you could be miles away. The easiest way to get there is to walk from the city centre, but we found it quite by accident when we were on the monorail. On one side of the harbour are a shopping centre and various fast food restaurants and cafes. The shopping centre has quite a reasonable selection of shops, but beware of the ultra-tacky souvenirs! The harbour side itself is really nice to walk round and the cafes are great to sit and enjoy a drink or ice cream and watch the world go by. You can take the ‘Land Train’ around the harbour but this is just a tractor pulling some...

Review of Darling Harbour

darling harbour

Advantages: close to CBD,large ammount of shops and cafes,pleasent atmosphere
Disadvantages: crowded at weekends, overpriced, gets boring real quick

...If you are looking for authentic australian atmosphere, then Darling Harbour would be one place best avoided. Okay, its situated around a harbour, but where isn't in Sydney?. Its main claim to fame is its huge exhibition hall and conference centre, where some events in the olympics were situated.But who travels all this way to look at a conference centre. Kids may enjoy Sega World, but apart from that theres little else for them. Cafes and bars are horrendously expensive, although there are a multitude to choose from, plus a large food court. If you are after items of australiana to take home to friends and loved ones then there are plenty of shops to cater for your needs. Whether its a didgereedoo or a toy koala you will find it here in abundance. Expect to pay higher than average prices though as darling harbours main customers are...

SWEET DARLING

Advantages: sweet smelling long lasting scent
Disadvantages: too cheap smelling if ou use too much

...Sweet Darling is a fragrance which was launched by Kylie Minogue in August 2007; following the success of her first perfume which was named Darling. As well as the Sweet Darling perfume you can also purchase the complimentary bath and body products such as the shower gel and shimmering body lotion which both have the same gorgeous sweet scent as the perfume. The complimentary bath and body products help to layer the scent of the perfume upon your skin therefore increasing the longevity of the scent. People who have dry or oily skin and find that the scent of perfumes don't really last on their skin may benefit from using the complimentary bath and body products before applying the perfume; as this would give the scent a base to layer itself upon therefore increasing the longevity of the scent. Everyone's skin types are different...

Review of Kylie Minogue Sweet Darling

What a Darling!

Advantages: Cute
Disadvantages: retired

...Everybody my age had TY beanies, they were adorable! My close circle of friends and I were huge collectors and between us we have most, if not all, of them going! One of the beanies is Darling the Dog. Darling: Darling is such a gorgeous name for a dog. For some reason it reminds me of Lady and the Tramp, a Disney film I adore. It gives the impression that this little doggy is so sweet, and I must say - she is just that! Appearance: Darling is one of the cutest dogs in the TY range. Some of them look quite butch and threatening, which does go with their nature, but Darling here looks a lot more loving. Her fur is very soft to the touch, and quite thick too. It is made of a white colour with golden brown from her head to the tip of her tail. There is a little checkered bow around her neck to add that personal touch. She definitely looks...

Review of Ty Darling the Dog

Whitby's wonderful harbour

Advantages: Lots of history, plenty to see and do
Disadvantages: Some areas are not suitable for disabled visitors

...Whitby is a small fishing town in the north east of England and in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful picturesque seaside locations in this part of England. The town itself has a real old worldly feel to it with its bustling narrow streets and each week thousands of visitors descend on the town to soak up its charm. At the heart of Whitby is its harbour and without this harbour there is no doubt that Whitby would not be the wonderful place that we find today. The town grew up along the two opposite banks of the River Esk, which is spanned by a swing bridge that was constructed in 1908. It is however known that a bridge has spanned this river since medieval times, whilst the town itself predates that by a further thousand years or more. Whitby's most famous landmark, its abbey was built in the year 657AD. Today, Whitby...

Review of Kylie Minogue Darling Eau de Toilette Spray

SOFT AND SWEET DARLING

Advantages: moisturises, softens, hydrates skin, smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: none

...Kylie Minogue Sweet Darling is a fragrance which was launched by Kylie Minogue in August 2007 following the success of her earlier perfume which was named Darling. As well as the perfume you can also purchase the Sweet darling scented bath and body products which help to layer and compliment the scent of the perfume. Sweet Darling as the name suggests is a very sweet smelling and slightly musky perfume which has really good staying power; however some people may find that the scent of the perfume doesn't really last on their skin very well, especially if they have dry or oily skin types. People who have these skin types or simply find that the perfume smells too light on them would benefit from using the matching bat and body products of the same fragrance as this would help to layer the scent of the perfume and make it smell slightly...

The Sydney Harbour Bridge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...My next review is on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is perhaps one of the most iconic monuments in Sydney, if not the whole of Australia. The Bridge is the main thing that stands out when you first arrive in Sydney, its like their gateway into and out of the City, and with its sheer size, its something that people should take the time to look at up close and personal. History: The bridge has a long history, original plans to create the bridge started in the late 1890?s however construction didn?t actually start until the mid 1920?s. The bridge?s total length is a mammoth 1149 metres (3,770 ft), and according to the World Records book the bridge has the tallest arch steel frame measuring 134 meters (429.6 ft) The bridge is accessible by many modes on transport which include, train, car toll, and walking. The bridge connects two main...

Review of Sydney Harbour Bridge

Simply Sweet Darling

Advantages: Beautiful Scent
Disadvantages: a celebrity perfume

...I really love perfume. It is the highlight of any Christmas being bought more, but it has to be said I have rather boring tastes. You almost get stuck in a rut with buying the same perfume year in year out. Initially for me that perfume was Dior Addict. Yes the scent was a bit heavy, but it was a long lasting flowery smell which I adored. However, I came to university and the opportunity to buy perfume became rather non-existent. Last Christmas my boyfriend, hearing my cry of lack of perfume, invested in Thierry Mugler Angel, which was another favourite of mine. The last bottle I had ran out last week, so off I went to buy more, but when I got to Boots the price shocked me. So, in a brave step I decided to broaden my perfume horizons and branch out into something else. My choice this time was Kylie Minogue 'Sweet Darling...

Review of Kylie Minogue Sweet Darling

Kylie Sweet Darling

Advantages: sweet, long lasting, memorable
Disadvantages: none

...I recieved this as a birthday gift from my gran. I was suprised by the modern taste in fragrance my dear old gran has and i'll give her all the credit this time as it is gorgeous! At the same price as the previous Kylie perfume, Darling, this is great value for money. Depending on where you pruchase from i'd say it cost roughly £16-£20 for a 30ml bottle which i think it pretty reasonable. I'm sure you could get it even a little cheaper elsewhere! Currently available in sizes of 30ml, 50ml and 75ml. I'm sure this product would sell anyway as it has Kylie's name on it but it is rereshing to see that she msut have put some efort into is despite her ongoing battles which is inspirational. More than can be said about some celebrities perfumes that are onthe market and smell revolting just to make them quick money. The bottle is more...
