"The unmistakable orange building on Falcon Street has forever been known for their delectable bowls of ramen - their diehard fans often forming a queue that stretches around the corner. The Ton Kotsu ramen in miso soup with egg, roast pork, shallots and bamboo shoots is so delicious you’ll slurp it down in mere minutes. It would hardly be a rounded meal without a serve of gyoza, and the kimchee provides that addictively satisfying heat."

"Far less popular than the touristy Bondi to Coogee hike, the Spit to Manly Walk is a quieter alternative with more natural busy and varied views. A stunning day hike along the North Sydney harbor coastline that weaves its way through a mix of lush bushland and scenic harbourside trails with secluded beaches, indigenous rock carvings, and panoramic lookouts along the way. You can hike the 10km (6.2 miles) trail in 3.5 hours in a hurry, but I recommend you take your time and enjoy the sights and sounds."

"If you fancy stretching your legs, the walk from Manly to Spit Bridge is a pleasant 2-3 hour coastal walk with amazing views over the ocean. Catch the ferry to Manly harbour and head round the coast – make sure not to miss the ancient aboriginal carvings along the way. When it comes to free things to do in Sydney, this is one of the most popular for good reason."
