Bounded by Sydney Harbour, the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour National Park, Sydney's North offers a tranquil hideaway only a short ferry ride from the city centre. Sydney's North includes the popular shopping areas of North Sydney and Chatswood, the sophisticated harbourside shopping village of Mosman and nearby Balmoral Beach and further north the relaxed, cosmopolitan beachside suburb of Manly.

North Sydney is a satellite commercial centre just across the Sydney Harbour Bridge from Sydney city. It has few visitor attractions as it is an office centre for a wide range of major companies in computers, communications, insurance, travel and so on.

The most significant place of interest is a museum at Mary MacKillop Place, which tells the story of Australia's first and only Catholic Saint. A tour includes a visit to her tomb in the adjoining chapel. Open Sundays to Fridays 10am to 4pm, Saturdays 12pm to 4pm. It is in Mount Street, left at the post office on the Pacific Highway.

Two short blocks away in Napier Street is the Don Bank Museum devoted to the history of the local area (left into Charles Street off the Pacific Highway, then right). There is short term meter parking in the area for cars costing $6 an hour. Bring coins. Buses from the city stop on the highway nearby.

Manly is a place of natural beauty, beach culture and good living. Manly offers a range of recreational activities such as learning to surf or dive, bike riding, roller blading or parasailing in the summer months, or just relax and enjoy the ocean views and harbour breezes at one of the cafes or restaurants.

Sydney's North also offers a wide range of shopping experiences. Browse through the shops along Military Road, Mosman for quality clothes and designer homewares. Reward yourself with lunch or dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants on the esplanade at nearby Balmoral Beach only a short bus ride from Mosman.

One of the most popular pubs for business people in the area is in one of North Sydney's prettiest old sandstone buildings. The Greenwood was once a boy's high school teaching technical subjects. Its vaulted ceiling halls now house bars and a good restaurant. It forms part of the attractive Greenwood Plaza shopping complex which is directly opposite North Sydney railway station, with direct access underground.

The North Sydney area has a few good hotels which provide an alternative to Sydney city accommodation, particularly if the visitor has business to do in the area. It has a frequent train service to the city, and plentiful buses. Taxis between the two cost $12 to $15. But traffic in peak times is really bad and can add substantially to the cost. Street parking in working hours can be a nightmare for visitors, though there are parking stations. Hotels have their own.

North Sydney is surrounded by some of the prettiest harbourside suburbs - Kirribilli, Milsons Point and McMahon's Point, each of which has a village atmosphere and is fun to visit. All three have beautiful views across the harbour to the city.

North Sydney is also the gateway to the Lower North Shore which follows the headlands and inlets of Sydney Harbour towards Manly. It includes the dormitory suburb Neutral Bay, the exclusive residential suburb of Mosman which has fine boutique shopping and good restaurants, trendy Balmoral with its harbour beach and good food, and ends at The Spit with its waterfront restaurants and sailing clubs.

This is a very attractive area with some impressive homes, leafy streets and plenty of goods views of Sydney Harbour. Almost all of the best spots are off the main road so a street directory is essential. You can get seriously lost without one in this part of Sydney.
