Gay Travel To Sydney Australia – Acceptance Down Under
Sydney is one of the world’s favorite cities. Set on a stunning harbor the shopping and dining variety are superb and you are within easy access of the great outdoors. Sydney was voted by the readers of Conde Naste in 2008. Sydney is a gay friendly city and its wide range of attractions encourages gay travel to this part of Australia.
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”.
The main gay district of Sydney is centered around Oxford Street; affectionately know as the pink stip. Here there are many gay friendly bars and clubs and a wide range of shopping opportunities from start up designers to the much more high end range of shopping options.
Gay travel to Sydney, Australia should be on your list of travel destinations. Whether you want to attend the Mardi Gras, or sample some of the food or beaches the options are endless. Sydney is also a great starting place to explore the rest of the vast continent of Australia.
Don’t forget, though that other parts of Australia are also welcoming to gay travelers. For example, consider an extended excursion to the gay destinations in Queensland, as well.
