Best Sydney Places: Top 5 Destinations For Family Holidays

Hello Sydney Kids was a labour of love for this Sydney mother for all of the 10 years that I researched, photographed and wrote up articles for it. Myself and my four children always had an excuse to get in the car and explore our beautiful city.

This is my absolute favourite family photo! A Sunday morning down at Little Manly Beach after all the kids had been leaping into the water from the sharknet platform. And so had I!

We are now so thrilled to hand over the baton to the next generation, Tom and Lauren of Boobobutt, who aim to help families all over Australia enjoy adventures and explorations of our Great Southern Land.

My own children are all grown up, the older boys are 26 and 23 and the twins are 17, and most of us have moved out of Sydney. Whilst I still pop up and down to the city from our main family base in Orange, I just cannot maintain the website properly. And exploring family-friendly places in Sydney without children seems daft. It is time to let younger mums and dads rejuvenate the website and add great new content to it.

The Hello Sydney Kids’ aim remains the same; to get the kids outside and moving, to explore and have fun as a family and to find the absolute best indoor places, cafes and restaurants too.

As part of saying a fond farewell, whilst celebrating the arrival of new owners and new energy, I’ve collected in this article our family’s favourite Sydney places and the best-ever holiday spots that my family visited.
