Gay Travel To Sydney Under The Souther Sky

Sydney has won numerous travel awards as a popular and rewarding city to visit.  A Gay vacation to Sydney Australia is no exception. The attitude of the locals is tolerant and generally gay friendly making it the prime destination in the Southern Hemisphere. Combine this with the natural beauty and the cultural attractions - Sydney is a winner.

The Gay and Lesbian community is very active in the city. But the most famous event is the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. This is party central and the event has general popular appeal. Many non homosexual Sydneysiders stand along the parade route to enjoy the fun atmosphere.

Beaches are everywhere around Sydney. A short ride across the harbor is the Manly area with it’s surf beach and laid back way of Life. There are a wide choice of beaches that are good for swimming and surfing or just lying back and improving your tan. If you want to find naturalist beaches there are four in the area just to the North of Sydney.

Food is a passion here and eating alongside the harbor or the beach is a wonderful way to pass a sunny lunch hour or a balmy evening. If you are invited to a hotel for a drink, just remember the Aussies often call their pubs “hotels”.

Oxford Street has been termed Sydney’s Pink strip and has a long established history. This is where the parade goes and where you will find shops, clubs and bars for the gay community.

If you are in need of some relaxation and sun don’t forget Sydney is southern hemisphere and the seasons are the flip of what they are in the Northern hemisphere - February is still summer. Gay travel to Sydney Australia is great and the city is definitely gay friendly.
