Sydney named world's best city
08:25 AEST Wed Jul 14 2004
.
Sydney remains a dream destination for global travellers after being named the World's Best City.
.

.
The United States-based magazine Travel + Leisure gave the NSW capital the award for the eighth time in 10 years.
.
Sydney won ahead of Rome, Florence, Bangkok and Cape Town.
.
Acting NSW Tourism Minister Tony Kelly said the award confirmed Sydney's reputation as a world city and the first destination of choice for international travellers to Australia.
.
"No other Australian city makes it into the top 10," Mr Kelly said.
.

.
The Great Barrier Reef islands also featured prominently in the awards.
.
The stretch of islands off the northern Queensland coast was named the 10th in the World's Best Islands category, and No. 1 in the Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific islands category.
.

.
Australia's only island state, Tasmania, was second in that category.
.
Lizard Island, one of the Great Barrier Reef's most luxurious and exotic resorts off the coast of Cairns, ranked 16th in the World's Best Hotels category and topped the World's Best Hotels category for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
.
Australia provided 19 of the top 25 World's Best Hotels in the regional category.
.
The Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2004 are based on the evaluations of more than 425,000 readers.
.

Hmmm all the photos of Sydney show that one scene of the bridge and the opera house. Is that all you got?

Budapest is much prettier [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I agree. A flight to Sydney might cost 500 quid. You could buy Budapest for that much.

IIRC Sheila has a great side with many photos about downunda in the web. Found them once when I started planning a trip through Australia.

Hmmmm .... can't find the link . (But I'm sure you can )

If that's, what Memnoch means.

Btw...how can Sidney be the best city in the world..... there isn't even a half decent footballteam in town.

LOL Loudhy - a "sheila" is a babe - a chick - a great bit of skirt - a beaut sort - in short - beautiful girls [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

Back on topic - who would want to go to Sydney - bloody place is full of cockroaches - millions of the buggers .
