Why would you want to look at the city? Unless your from the bush, and its a rare sight.

Theres no real place to 'camp' to see Sh1tney. the best option would be day trip to Nth Head, to see down the harbour, La Parouse to see Kurnell, and down Botany bay, and Campbelltown/Blue Mountains/Hornsby to see it in yor mirrors as you get out as fast as you can.

jtb - it goes without saying that a view in Sydney will fetch around 6million dollars for a house so most campgrounds simply haven't got that real estate. However, on the Northern Beaches at Narrabeen is what we believe is Sydney's best caravan park. It's on the edge of the inlet to Narrabeen Lakes on the beachfront at Narrabeen Beach. Public transport is limited to buses (no trains on the northern beaches at all) however, if you take the trip into the city takes around 50minutes but you have beach views most of the way as you head south on Pittwater Road, then across the Spit Bridge and into Mosman, Neutral Bay and then across the Harbour Bridge. Hope this helps

I agree with Michelle caravan pk at Narrabeen in Sydney or you could go to Wiseman Ferry campground right on the river or Dargle right on the river 40min Nth west of Syd nice spot and some good driving around the area being close to the Wattagans, Yengo and the Blue Mtns.

Yes Baz that's another great spot. Can you fish there anymore with all the ski boats though? I notice in his signature file that he likes to fish. I should have mentioned that Narrabeen fish is a great fishing beach - with the odd tailer run in season etc.

Bst view in Sydney has to be on the Harbour Bridge walk .. views clear to the Blue Mountains in the west. But, I don't think they will let you pitch a tent there.

I stronly disagree with Wombat. I've lived in Sydney (on the coastal beaches) a long time & travelled a fair bit in Aus & O/S. In my opinion Sydney is the best> Why do you think the real estate prices are so high???

I know a bloke who went to Sydney once. He came in via the Great Western Freeway, got to the top of the run down to Penrith around 6.30 at night, saw all the lights, shat himself and drove back to Adelaide.

Im with you Wombat... It has to be the most overpriced toilet in the country.

Why are realestate prices so high? Damn good question, look at all the trendys that live there.

YMMV.

I wasn't actually intending to denegrate Sydney. What I was suggesting was that the roads leading OUT OF ANY CITY were preferable to the ones leading in. I love the view of Melbourne each night in my rear view mirrors as I head for the peace and quiet of our rural home.

Your question regarding the best place to camp to view Sydney is a hard one as Sydney is such a large place. We are surrounded by many National Parks, you would have to check them out at the NPWS Site but I dont think they like camping very much.

To view the size of Sydney I think the best place is Centre Point Tower, from it you can see just how big a city Sydney is. Sydney is not the CBD although as its near the harbour much of it is very picturesque.

We live but 45 minutes from the CBD but have National Parks and fishing and waterways within easy walking distance. I have taken a few shots of my morning walk plus the moods of the bay for you to see just what the "Modern Birthplace of Australia" looks like and judge for yourselves. It could be more commercially presented and the NWPS is working on that over the next few years.

More people are leaving sydney than movin into it... Check the figures on central coast, and qld, and perth, and vic, and sa etc...

Remember nobody knows where kurnell is or anythin' about it, its one of the most important places in the country, but its more of a void! Mayas well be living in Wheelabarrowback.
