From shopping to dining and exploring its wonderful architecture, there are just so many things to do for tourists planning holidays to Sydney. Besides, plenty of natural attractions that surround the metropolis leave one gloating over the decision of booking tickets on Australia bound flights.

The gorgeous Sydney Harbour, iconic Opera House, European style restaurants and pubs, exclusive dining and cosmopolitan shopping; Sydney really is the place that you will instantly fall in love with. Although the city itself is a holidaymaker’s dreams come true, several natural attractions that surround it make vacation to this Emerald City in Australia all the more rewarding. Within couple of hours’ drive, tourists can find a unique natural geography dotted with pristine beaches, sand eroded rocks and lush green parks. Offering much needed respite from Sydney’s frantic city life, this captivating milieu allures hordes of travellers who spend on air tickets aboard flights to sojourn this corner of Australia. This article offers a quick rundown on popular natural attractions near Sydney.

Bondi beach

One of the most popular beaches in Australia, Bondi is the perfect blend of sea, sand and surf. Besides sunbathing at its warm golden sand, tourists flock here to enjoy various water sports such as swimming, surfing and banana boat riding. Come here on Sundays and you can shop to your heart’s content at the famous Bondi Beach Markets. Exquisite seafood and rocking nightlife in this part of Australia also make one’s experience delightful and well worth the cost of tickets on flights to the city.

Manly 

A short ferry ride from the Circular Quay, Manly offers a very unique experience. Its picture-perfect scenery and carnival atmosphere, especially at weekends, make it a popular place both among nature-lovers and fun seekers taking flights to visit Sydney. Taking the Manly Scenic Walk from beautiful Shelly Beach to SpitBridge, visitors can encounter dazzling views of serene beaches and secluded wrappings of bush land. Melodious sounds of birds’ chirping amidst this lush greenery make one feel as if they are in some meandering garden. The entire experience is simply mesmerising and lives up to every penny spent on air tickets for holidaying in Australia.

Blue Mountains

Designated as World Heritage Site, the enigmatic Blue Mountains are located less than a couple of hours drive from Sydney. Unique topography, fascinating greenery and an exotic range of flora & fauna found in this region capture the imaginations of nature-lovers from across the globe and tempt them to reserve tickets on flights for holidays here. Whether it is the exquisite charm of the Three Sisters, three rock formations that according to Aboriginal legend were once siblings, tranquillity and solace in surrounding hills or shopping for antiquities and handicrafts in its hilly towns; trip to Blue Mountains promises a holiday you will never forget! If you’re up for some adventure, try your endurance at canyoning, climbing or mountain trekking in the territory.

Port Stephens

Australia is home to an array of aqua creatures including the giant bottlenose dolphins. And perhaps no place is better than Port Stephens when it comes to watch dolphins in the wild. The lovely coastal town is only a couple of hours from Sydney and features crystal water, golden beaches and a large population of giant dolphins. Quite naturally, it remains on the top of the wish list of many adventurers who net air tickets on Australia bound flights. Not too far away from Port Stephen are the Worimi Conservation Lands, a sprawling protected desert dotted with huge sand dunes.
