Sydney is always vibrant around The Rocks and Circular Quay area, not only from the ferries coming and going all the time, but the the didgeridoos are in full voice, and pretty good they are too, plus a number of other performers! There is a plentiful supply of good restaurants, many with outside seating, to enjoy and we found some favourites. The quayside is marked out with brass plaques as to where the edge was in 1788 (how did they know?) and 1844, plus there are tribute plagues for famous people who have visited or commented on Australia. I particularly liked that of Rudyard Kipling from 1937, "Sydney.......was populated by leisured multitudes all in their shirt-sleeves picnicking all the day. They volunteered that they were new and young, but that they would do wonderful things one day"! Struck me as pretty apt.
