Sydney, Australia 2013 (Part II) | Days 3 - 4
Day 3
Blue Mountains Day Tour (AUD99) by Activity Tours
Pick-up from YHA Central at 7.35am, drop off at Circular Quay at 5.45pm
Stop 1: Featherdale Wildlife Park
This place is a 45-minute drive from Sydney and we reached at about 8.45am. We were given one hour to explore and I'd say that it is sufficient.
My main aim is to see kangaroos and koalas! :)
So cuteeee!
Not allowed to carry the koalas here :(
Where kangaroos roam freely! Can purchase kangaroo feed at AUD1 (if I remember correctly).
There are many other animals there too; including quokka (dubbed as the happiest animal on Earth).
The entrance ticket is AUD28 per person. A 20% discount voucher can be found in the Sydney guide book taken from the Airport. However, for my tour, the entrance ticket is included in the tour price.
Stop 2: Boomerang
Our guide stopped at an open field and showed us how a boomerang works. It really does return to the thrower! But he told us that the ones what were sold as souvenir does not have a side shaved off, and it wouldn't return.
Stop 3: Bush walk to view Wentworth Falls
This is just a simple 10-minute worth of steps walking. We took some time to take in the beautiful scenery and also some photos.
Stop 4: Lunch at Leura Village
I see nothing much to walk around in this area, but there are a couple of lunch spots to choose from.
Settled for this takeaway place as I feel like trying Aussie's Fish & Chips
I ordered their Fish & Chips (AUD8.50) but I didn't like it. I feel that the fish was fishy and they basically just poured plenty of salt on top. This is coming from someone who can take really salty food. They give fries like they are free, though.
After lunch, it started raining. It was so cold. :(
Stop 5: Echo Point; The Three Sisters
This is where you can get a scenic view of Blue Mountains. We stopped here for a little while to take pictures. I am glad we didn't stop too long either because it was drizzling and my fingers by now were red and numb with cold.
View of the 3 sisters
Stop 6: Scenic World (own expense)
We got the Scenic World pass (AUD35) for unlimited use on the Scenic Cableway, Scenic Skyway, Scenic Railway (world's steepest railway) and Scenic Walkway (walk through a rainforest). I saw that a one-way Scenic Cableway ride costs AUD14, so even though I only went once for each of the attraction, I guess I have made my pass worth.
View from the Scenic Skyway (I think)
Scenic Railway!
For sure I went for the Cliffhanger :)
Really feels like roller coaster, just slower. Would love to ride this upwards!
I didn't get any koala soft toys because I never believed in soft toys. But I could do with taking a picture of me cuddling one. :)
Stop 7: Olympic Stadium & Ferry Terminal
Thereafter, it is about a one and a half hour's ride to the Olympic Stadium which I am not too interested in.
Olympic Stadium - nothing here actually
By now, we are only 5 minutes away from the ferry terminal, where we have to catch a ferry at 5.15pm back to Circular Quay. People say that it is great to at least take the ferry once to experience Sydney as a harbour city.
Ferry Terminal
Sunset picture taken from the ferry terminal
The ferry passes through the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but as the weather is so cold, I did not get to the edge to take photos of the bridge.
Taken from inside the ferry - what nice colours!
We reached Circular Quary at about 5.45pm.
Thoughts on the tour: Average. I feel that we covered very little and wondered if it'd be better if I didn't join a tour instead. Honestly, I saved quite a bit of hassle (especially it rained that day). Also, this tour includes the wildlife park trip which would otherwise make my experience in Sydney less memorable.
Just for record purposes, if one wants to do free & easy at Blue Mountains, it'd be good to purchase MyMulti3 pass instead (AUD17 more) which covers the journey to Katoomba (the station to get to Blue Mountains) but the journey is expected to be 2 to 3 hours long from Sydney. There is a trolley bus which allows hop on and off at specific points you may want to visit.
Circular Quay --> The Rocks --> YHA Central
Since I am at Circular Quay, I went to catch the night view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
Next, I walked over to The Rocks to try out Pancakes on the Rocks. It is now about 6pm and the streets are already quiet and dark. The route appeared to be secluded and I got kind of scared (haha). I found the restaurant in the end, and there was a queue. I waited for about 10 minutes, and in that 10 minutes the queue got even worse.
I can't remember exactly what I ordered but I changed one of the pancakes from buttermilk to chocolate flavour (AUD13.95). I'd pick chocolate over buttermilk anytime but I have to say that their buttermilk pancake is really good! Definitely cannot be compared to Singapore's Strictly Pancakes. Their buttermilk pancake fares better than the chocolate version.
The serving is huge (couldn't finish even though I didn't snack) and I think the pricing is very reasonable! In Singapore's Strictly Pancakes, I paid more than this and I can finish all 3 pancakes!
By 7.30pm, I am back in YHA Central, packing for the next day as I'll need to check out of YHA Central, and move into Bounce Sydney.
Day 4
YHA Central --> Bounce Sydney
By about 7am, I reached Bounce, which is within walking distance from YHA Central. As the check-in time is 2pm, they stored my luggage for me and gave me a communal card so that I can access their facilities and toilets if I need to. I think this is really thoughtful. :) I confirmed that I can get to Sydney Fish Market by tram (about 15 minutes) and off I went!
Bounce --> Sydney Fish Market
Walked to Central Railway Station to catch the tram. When viewing the tram route map, I thought that the tram does not go in a loop but it turns out that no changing of trams if required. I guess the different zones in the route map is meant for calculating the ticket fare.
Interior of the tram; seats similar to our bus, furnishing similar to our train :p
And a tram conductor came along to collect fares...
At the tram stop
When I reached the stop, there already is a fishy smell. But I am looking forward to eating fresh fish here. There are signages here to get me to the Fish Market.
I reached the place at about 7.45am (opens at 7am) because I read that the peak period is lunch time and it'd be hard to find seats. I have no issues with having Fish & Chips for breakfast. Because it was so early, there weren't many people around and all I see was the workers processing (?) the fresh catches. It took me quite a while to find that the dinning area was further in (just under the 'Sydney Fish Market' signboard).
BBQ Grill Sydney | Monray Half Lobster (AUD19.50) - to be completely honest, I think the lobster meat is a little fishy.
Fresh seafood...
Cooked seafood!
Outdoor dining with a view :)
Christie's Seafood | Fish & Chips (AUD9).
This was GOOD - the batter was done to perfection, I liked the seasoning topped and the fish was very fresh. Very impressed that this only costs this much. Fries were plentiful. I did not finish the fries but still was really full. The only bad thing was, the plate was very oily as I see it. Lol.
At this point, as I face the unfinished fries, I told myself that I am not going to eat fries in Singapore for at least the next 2 weeks. I was amused because I love fries a lot, and the reason why I love my air fryer is that I can eat fries without that much of a guilt. I am really missing Asian food by now.
Sydney Fish Market --> Central Railway Station
Thereafter I caught the tram back to Central Railway Station. Realised that it's really nice inside! Took some pictures there and spotted Krispy Kreme.
Central --> Sydney Town Hall --> Circular Quay
From Central, I took the train to Town Hall as I intend to join this free walking tour (3 hours) which starts from Town Hall at 10.30am and ends at Circular Quay. I've read reviews that the tour is really good and works on a tipping system.
However, I observed that the tour guide - even before the tour started - is racist. She talks to everyone else except the Asians. The tour goes more into the cultural and historical aspects and I'm only half interested. Or maybe I was put off by the tour guide right from the start.
There are many nice buildings along the way and I can't remember exactly the places we walked through because there ain't enough time for me to note or take nice photos. A random spurt of photos from the walking tour below...
Spotted this place (at The Rocks) which apparently has good reviews too but skipped this because I was still full at this point (it's already 1.30pm!).
Circular Quay --> Bounce
I was supposed to go for my Beach Coastal Walk (~ 3 hours). But by now, my iPhone's battery is running low. Hence I decided to make a trip back to Bounce to check in, as well as to get my portable charger.
Hostel room - pretty spacious!
Overall, I like Bounce. Its looks cleaner (both literally and not) and there are tags attached to the beds so you'll know if the bed is occupied. And there is a full length mirror! Powerpoint at the bedside - awesome.
Headed out by 2.30pm because the plan is to complete the Coastal Walk by 6pm (including dinner).
Bounce --> Bondi Beach
A little background about the Beach Coastal Walk - basically it is a walk beginning from Bondi Beach all the way to Coogee Beach, spanning a total of 5.9km. Reviews say that the coastal view is beyond amazing and honestly behind my laptop, I don't think it could be that amazing to warrant so many good reviews. I had to try it for myself.
Back to Central Station to make me way to Bondi Beach.
See! They have many platforms and trains... Still amazed even having seen Japan's train system.
I looked out for the platform for the train which goes direct to Bondi Junction (thereafter I'll need to catch Bus 333 to Bondi Beach). It was about 2.40pm I suppose, and the waiting time for the train is 24 minutes. 24 minutes! By the time I get to Bondi it'd be so late already. In a fluster, I remembered that I can catch Bus 333 from Circular Quay as well, and I actually have this route in my itinerary. Just that at that point, I didn't realise that the bus ride would be 41 minutes (equally :O).
I took the train heading towards Circular Quay. But at Town Hall I feel like the train is so empty (their trains are mostly with few people and even at the busiest I've seen, ain't exceptionally crowded like Singapore's), and I decided to get off the train. I regretted when I saw that there are still people in the train. But at that platform I alighted, I realised that the platform beside goes to Bondi Junction and it is departing in 2 minutes! I happily jumped into the train and got to Bondi Junction. :) I was so afraid I don't have time to complete the walk because I don't want to end up in the middle of nowhere not knowing the directions to get back to Central.
From there, I follow the signages to get to the bus interchange, and took Bus 333 to Bondi Beach. Bondi Beach is just 4 stops away. In fact, when you see a beach in the front, that's when you should alight. :)
Bondi Beach --> Coogee Beach (Beach Coastal Walk)
When I reached Bondi Beach, the view already amazes me. It's so beautiful.
I do not know where the walk should start. I just followed the nice view, and ended up at the end of Bondi Beach. Checked on my GPS and realised that I should be walking in the other direction instead. I think they should put more signs because throughout the walk, I think there is a lack of signages to guide the walk. Not too much of a problem; I just ended up walking a little more than I should.
And then the walk begins. A little bit of stairs here and there, a lot more uphill walking towards the end. The views are amazing indeed. Really, I feel like if I weren't there I would have underrated this beautiful place. No wonder despite the toughness, many people are jogging along the coastal walk. The views are so worth it! I never thought I would love the beach so much (lol).
However, I should have worn proper shoes for this walk and my legs were really tired... I took a rest once in a while and was happy that that day I decided to lug with me a bottle of Coke Zero. In the last 10 minutes, I really felt like stopping but seeing that it's just 10 minutes away from Coogee, I pressed on.
I took so many pictures because I was in awe but it may seem repetitive. So only posting a couple of them!
Throughout the walk, I noticed that the most populated beach is still Bondi Beach. By the time I reached Bronte Beach, the people through the coastal walk is significantly lesser. Truth be told, after I see the state of my legs after the walk, I think it probably is a good idea to stop at Bronte Beach. Unless of course, you have more time to walk at your leisure pace or you'd like to do running. At this time, my white flats are on the verge of death. I can feel it in my soles. I could feel a sprouting blister on the sole of my feet.
I am also supposed to stop along the beaches and have dinner at any restaurants I see. But I was so into walking and completing the walk that I completed the stretch without stopping at the beaches and eating dinner. Lol.
Coogee Beach --> Central Railway Station --> Bounce
Used GPS to look for my bus stop and took Bus 372 which will bring me straight to Central. There are also other buses there but I wasn't into exploring any other possibilities because I am just tired. At the point of research, I also did not take down the routes with weird bus numbers like M50, but I think it is okay to take those with the MyMulti1 weekly pass. It may be an express bus, I am not too sure.
It was such a peaceful bus ride. I wasn't looking forward to getting down the bus and be walking again. But I have to because I need to get food. I thought of getting Krispy Kreme which was at the Central Railway Station. I did a search and was glad it's open till 8pm. However, somehow I walked the wrong way (!!!) and in my condition, made about 10 minutes worth of wasted walking. I took the conservative route back to the railway station and finally got my Mudcake donut, it costs AUD3 (yummy!). I also saw a small egg tart selling at AUD4.40 (omg, expensive).
Finally, I got back to Bounce at about 6.30pm and rested the day away. I was still hungry, but I'd rather starve than be walking again. I told myself, tomorrow I will by flying, not walking so I'd be alright. Haha.
This is what I've been doing every night because days end early in Sydney (but I also wake up early, like 5 to 6 am). That explains why this travelogue is so detailed!
