Featherdale Wildlife-Park
Filed Under Sydney, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Featherdale boasts the world’s premier collection of Australian wildlife allowing visitors to get up close to over 2200 animals. You can cuddle up to a koala and hand feed kangaroos for free all day(only feeding though - there is an entry cost though, to the park I mean). The best part of the exhibit is The Extremely Large Alligator! I almost crapped my pants when I made the encounter! Fantastic collection of Australian only animals. $20 will get you in compared to Taronga Zoo which has a $40 entrance fee and exhibits animals from all over the world. Anyways if your interested in seeing just Australian animals this is the place to go!
Located at Blacktown, en route to the famous Blue Mountains, Featherdale is developing into one of the region’s leading attractions. Check out where it is located on Google Maps by clicking here!

The Bra Boys
Filed Under Sydney | Leave a Comment
The Bra Boys are a group of guys that surf the beaches in Sydney’s East. They are centered in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra. The group began as a small surfer club in the 1960s. Named after the suburb Maroubra and not the Board Riders Association as some people may think. Members of the group often tattoo “Bra Boys” and Maroubra’s post code “2035″ on their backs. There is a documentary on Australian Surfing culture called “Bra Boys” that premiered in Sydney, and was released on the 15 March 2007. It details a story of the Bra Boys from the viewpoint of the group, particularly the Abberton brothers. Well known actor Russel Crowe provided narration and it is awesome.

Topless sunbathing (or as the locals know it - sunbaking) and swimming are common place, and the standards of dress are almost as relaxed in the many cafes and restaurants, T-shirts, shorts and thongs (Sandals) are the usual attire. Read more
