In stark contrast to the conceit and posturing of other beach suburbs stands the enjoyably innocuous Brighton-le-Sands. It continues to be maligned, or forgotten, due to its bayside position - right near the airport. This is fine by me. Popularity and consequent crass demonstration is what ruined some of our more famous beaches.
Travellers returning from a Parisian sojourn prattle on about history, architecture, and romance (blecch), but true sophisticates go for one reason: the macarons.
Though we don't have Laduree or a Pierre Herme around the corner, Balmain's Adriano Zumbo gives those Frenchies a run for their eurotrash, oui?
Adriano trained in Paris at the world famous ‘Ecole Lenotre', and he's got mad skills to show.
The Rocks...what a strange mix it is of international retail and terribly garish Australian culture. While I find the fluorescent illustrations of koalas and emus beside Kate Moss' worst ambassadorial decision to date (yes, wearing Burberry IS worse than dating deadbeat Dougherty) endlessly amusing, my ultimate thing about Sydney's tourist Mecca is La Renaissance Bakery.
You don't really feel at home in a new city until you find your favourite bakery. This bakery then becomes part of your family. It looks after you like a second mother, it bakes your birthday cake, it provides your crusty picnic bread and it even offers a juicy ham and cheese croissant after a big night out.
