Advantages: sun and surf what more can I say! Disadvantages: There are many tourists
...I am originally from Sydney and I want to tell you all about it. Sydney iss very popular as it is a cross between the sun and surf and the working city.

So I do reccommend sydney for holidays but to realize that is not a Tahitian Paradise!...
