Sydney offers so much as a holiday destination that some visitors feel there's no time to see it all. Other holiday makers are so beguiled with the harbour and its icons Wholesale Golden State Warriors Shirts , they never move out of the downtown area. But to truly come to grips with this wonderful city of Sydney, you need to explore some of the outlying regions. Here's the scoop on three side trips to the suburbs of Manly, Watson's Bay and Parramatta.

The seaside suburb of Manly lies seven miles north of downtown Sydney. Other than its 18 beaches, this charming suburb offers an array of tourist delights including an art gallery and Oceanworld Wholesale Detroit Pistons Shirts , which displays all manner of local sea creatures including Barrier Reef fish and giant sharks.

Manly is the perfect spot for beach and water sports including beach volleyball, swimming, sea-kayaking, sailing Wholesale Denver Nuggets Shirts , scuba-diving, and surfing. There's also a varied wining and dining scene with a host of bars, cafes and restaurants.

Another great day trip from Sydney is to Watson's Bay, the most northerly of Sydney's eastern suburbs. You can get there on the ferry from Wharf Number 4 at Circular Quay. It's a scenic run past the beautiful harbourside suburbs with the homes of the rich and famous. Watson's Bay is wedged between the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour and has the relaxed ambiance of a fishing village.

Watson's Bay is a relaxing place with cliffs and hidden beaches Wholesale Dallas Mavericks Shirts , including one legal nude beach. You can take a stroll around the harbour and visit the historic lighthouse.

You'll find a number of eateries near the ferry landing including some up market restaurants such as Doyle's Restaurant which specialises in seafood, and a fish 'n' chip shop. The beach and the fronting the harbour make fine picnic locations.

You can take a walk to see The Gap, the infamous Sydney suicide spot. There are dramatic views in all directions here and it's a good place for taking photographs. If you fancy a swim, you can take a 1-minute stroll to Camp Cove Wholesale Cleveland Cavaliers Shirts , a secluded beach with clear water. Take the ferry back to town at sunset to view even more of Sydney Harbour's many facets.

Finally, you can get a whole new view of Sydney by taking the Rivercat 14 miles to the western suburb of Parramatta. This is a ferry from Circular Quay and whisks you on a 40-minute trip up the river past fascinating vistas of Mangrove wet-lands.

Colloquially known as 'Parra', Parramatta dates back to the founding of Sydney when it became the new colony's agricultural centre. As such the area is full of colonial history with many impressive old buildings such as Old Government House and Elizabeth Farm.

Today's Parramatta has a vibrant cafe culture concentrated in the main thoroughfare of Church Street. It's also a great place to sip a quiet drink on the river and admire the water birds.

Sydney has many more suburbs all well-worth a visit. So make your base in downtown Sydney and visit them all at your leisure. You'll find a wide range of Sydney city hotels to choose from, including the Great Southern Hotel Sydney and the Citigate Central Sydney.

ACCRA Wholesale Chicago Bulls Shirts , June 27 (Xinhua) -- A raging storm is brewing over alleged sale of contaminated petroleum products by Ghana's state owned Bulk Oil Storage Company (BOST) to consumers.


BOST is accused of selling some five million liters of off-spec petroleum product -- product that does not meet national standards -- to a company called Movenpiina.


According to investigations by African Center for Energy Policy (ACEP), the product got contaminated through an accidental blend of petrol and diesel which occurred when a petrol flow-line was misdirected into a diesel tank during a discharge of petrol cargo into the Accra plains depot of the state-run institutions which store strategic fuel reserves for use in times of need.


Following the revelation by civil society group, Public Eye in Switzerland that Ghana had been the dumping ground for dirty fuel for some time, ACEP and other stakeholders have worked with the government to arrive at a consensus to change the regulated sulfur content from the current 3000ppm to 50ppm Wholesale Charlotte Hornets Shirts , effective from 1st July, 2017.


Industry watchers express worry that instead of refining the product to purify it, BOST allegedly sold it to a company which was yet to be registered.


Both the parliamentary minority and the pro-government ACEP are calling for investigations into the deal.


"The norm and practice is that, when such contaminations occur Wholesale Brooklyn Nets Shirts , corrective treatment of these products are undertaken by the Tema Oil Refinery through blending. Why did BOST not arrange with TOR for the treatment of this particular fuel? Available information indicates that BOST failed to exhaust all means to ensure TOR blends this contaminated fuel," Emmanuel Amarh-Kofi Buah, Minority Spokesperson on Mines and Energy, told the press here on Tuesday.


He described as untenable the excuse by BOST that the contaminated products were sold for use by manufacturing companies.


The Minority among other demands called for full scale investigation by the regulatory authorities Wholesale Boston Celtics Shirts , the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), and the immediate withdrawal of the contaminated product from the market to protect consumers with assurances to prevent such occurrences.


They also urged that the financial loss estimated at 14.25 million Ghana cedis (3.2 million U.S. dollars) be retrieved by surcharging the offending officials at BOST in line with the recent Supreme Court decision.


On their part, ACEP deplored the situation, describing it as a drawback .
