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

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

* Sydney Whtite And The Seven Dorks *

Advantages: Sweet , Charming
Disadvantages: None

...I recently saw the film Sydney White when my friend invited me and a couple of other friends to the cinema. Although I had seen an advert , advertising this movie in a magazine when it was out in the cinemas , I didn't have no idea as to what the film was about although I will admit that I thought it looked appealing. So I was pleased when my friend suggested this movie. We all agreed on seeing this movie. Sydney White is an American movie by Joe Nussbaum. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 12th September 2008. This film comes under the romantic comedy genre and stars Amanda Bynes. Running time of the movie is one hundred and eight minutes (twelve minutes short of two hours). This movie is a PG. Young girl Sydney White wins a scholarship for college. Her mother died when she was nine , and so she hopes to follow in...

Review of Sydney White

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Sydney Australia a dream come true!!

Advantages: Great city opera house
Disadvantages: expensive

...Sydney General Before I went to Australia I had this image in my head of the Sydney Opera and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this was the first thing I thought about when I thought of Australia, so the first thing I did when I arrived was drive down to see it for myself! I was so excited, I almost had to pinch myself as it all felt like a dream but I really was in Australia at last. Standing by the Opera House was a dream come true; it really is a remarkable site and one I will not forget for a very long time. The structure and design is fascinating and I spent a good while walking around it all. The view of the Harbour Bridge opposite is startling it is so huge if you look closely you can make out the small figures of the brave climbing over the top of it. The thing I love about Sydney the most is its beaches, with so many to...

Review of Sydney (Australia)

Travel..Dodge! Sydney Australia hotels.

Advantages: Location and proximity to centre.
Disadvantages: Everything about this hotel services.

...After Traveling around Australia for Months I have stayed in many hotels across the East Coast as you will discover in my Reviews. As more and more of us are traveling to Australia, I think its useful to see what are hotels we are assured of, are actually what we are getting after thousands of miles of traveling to our dream destination. We booked The Travelodge Sydney because me and my partner thought its a reputable name, Travelodge all over the world. Fine within the UK, not great but always comes up to standard. We had four days in Sydney and booked here! what a mistake. We arrived at the Hotel after traveling from Bribane 2-hours away. We were very tired and wanted to get some sleep after traveling from 4-am we needed a little sleep. Our hotel reservations were to check in early, but to our dismay they didn...

Review of Travelodge, Sydney

On Walkabout in Sydney

Advantages: Weather, Scenery, Culture
Disadvantages: Too far from UK!

...As I lived and worked in Sydney for two years, I thought I would share my experiences with you. I first went to Sydney in November 1997, but unfortunately this was only for a few days as I was on a three week assignment in Brisbane. However, less than six months later, I got the opportunity to move to Sydney in the course of my job. A Little Bit of Australian History --------------------------------------- Well, as we all know, in the beginning, the only residents of Australia were Aborigines. However, European man started to explore and everyone wanted to find the Great Land they had heard about. A Dutch Captain, William Jansz landed in 1606, but he figured there was nothing to be had there. However, exploration still continued and in 1642 Abel Tasman was in the area. He discovered Van Diemens Land, or what we now call...

Sheldons Master of the Game - Bagshawe Has Done Sidney Proud

Advantages: Great sequel
Disadvantages: None

...'The Blackwell family were an enigma, rich and powerful beyond compare. Kate, Tony, Eve and Alexandra had a life of dreams, but their dreams were born of greed, ambition and murder. Now that tainted legacy passes on to the next generation.' Mistress Of The Game is the sequel to Sidney Sheldon's bestselling Master Of The Game and it tells the story of what happens to the Blackwell's vast family fortune and global domination as it is passed down to the next, equally ambitious and equally scheming, generation of the family. As you'll have noticed, this isn't written by the 'master of storytelling' himself, but by Tilly Bagshawe author of three novels, including 'Adored' and 'Do Not Disturb'. The reason for this is that, unfortunately Sydney Sheldon passed away a couple of years ago, leaving behind a vast legion of fans from all...

Review of Sidney Sheldon's Mistress of the Game - Tilly Bagshawe

Sydney Harbour Bay!

Advantages: Awesome place/great photo opportunities!
Disadvantages: I was jet lagged when we saw it!

...Last Summer I was lucky enough to go on a world rugby tour to Australia and New Zealand, it was an amazing trip and I am going to review each section of the trip, to let you know how fantastic it was! I will try not to do it in a blog style and hopefully tell you what the places were actually like, how good/bad parts of the trip were rather than simply 'how great the trip was'. Then hopefully if you are planning a trip to Australia and New Zealand you might find something in my review that you would like to do or a place which you want to see. I will put up lots of pictures as well so you get a feel for the places I'm reviewing. Basically our tour consisted of flying to Sydney for 3 days, then to New Zealand for 9 days, then back to Brisbane in Australia for a final few luxurious rugby free days and finally home. A lot of flying was...

Review of Sydney (Australia)

I Spy, In The Sydney Sky...

Advantages: Great views over the city
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...Sydney CBD is quite densely populated with lots of tall buildings, so to get any sort of view you really need some height. Sydney Tower provides this quite nicely in the form of an observation deck at 819 feet (250m) up. The tower stretches a total of 1000 feet (304m) with the space above the people deck occupied by a 162 000 litre water tank that steadies the building on windy days and topped off with an antenna. A popular attraction for tourists, the tower has 3 main sections: 1. THE TOWER ITSELF You can go up the tower, which is good. Not much point in spending $25 million US and 6 years building something that tall if you can't charge people for going up it. Tickets are on the high side of moderately priced: adults cost $23.50 (~ 10GBP) and kids, students and seniors between $14 and $17.50 (~ 6 GBP - 8 GBP) but this price...
