Can anyone recommend some gay massage spots in MEL and SYD? Thanks!

In Australia, they don't have a place for massage. Most of the therapist are operate outcalls only.

thank you for the special promo, the dates I needed are eligible

but how far is North Ryde from the CBD area in Sydney? Are there public transports available or only taxi?

North Ryde is located at north of CBD, only buses going there, for bus time table www.131500.com. Taxi is always available, of course, but I only take it on ememrgency. I spent about $30 for 15 minutes ride. If it was a hotel, you might take those at CBD or :

1. eastern suburbs (coogee and bondi are nice coastal area, randwick, kensington, kingsford). Mostly only buses but plenty of buses going there

2. inner city suburbs with express train line (i.e Ashfield, Strathfield, they are about 20 mins train),

3. Rent a care if you have 4-5 people

If you plan to join daily tour I strongly recomend you to stay at CBD because there are plenty of choices and the pick up point mostly CBD and it usually 7-7.30am start.

Forgot to mention lower north shore area (North Sydney, Chatswood, St Leonard). They all have express train and very nice area.

Are there factory outlet in Sydney?

[passinthenight]

Are there factory outlet in Sydney?

The hotel link I sent says this: it an ideal base for attractions like Acer Arena, ANZ Stadium and the DFO outlet centre.

DFO is Direct Factory Outlet shopping centre.

Not really true, but spas tend to be very professional. Lots of home-based guys do massage. Check out the local gay press Sydney Star Observer or SX magazine (they have on-line versions and each has a classifieds for massage therapeutic and erotic and escorts). Also try www.cracker.com.au or craigslist which is pretty active. PM me with your requirements and I'll make a recommendation for Sydney. Costs around AUD60 per hour plus maybe 20 for extras. Some guys charge 70-90 but include extras automatically.

Any nice places to recommend to visit in Sydney, Aus?

[Guest Sydney [July 2011]]

Any advice on the things to do in Sydney on July? I understand it would be winter, but what kind of cold am I expecting?

Lastly, any mature clubs I can visit? I heard Aussie loves Asians <3

[krude]

The day is not that cold, but I guess its good to be in at least covered. The last winter I was there, it was really wet, so prepare a weather proof jacket or an umbrella.

the nights get pretty cold, so its better to pack something in your bag or get changed again in your hotel before heading out in the night.

357 or now renamed as sydney city steam sauna is a good place for you if you're looking for westerners.

its located in the heart of chinatown, and westerners are there for asians. I personally had a hunky korean top who had a thick dick.

[Guest Sydney August]

Hi,

I am going to Sydney on 3rd August, will you still there or anyone here will be there around that time ?

[Guest reeki]

If you are heading to Sydney, you must eat at Atom's Thai food restaurant, located in NEWTOWN just 5 minutes out of Chinatown, Atom serves authentic North Thai food learned from his mother,

A little about Atom, he is from Thai, Cambodian , Laos border, he is with a shanghainese partner called Robin , they are a gay couple out and proud, Robin the partner runs the management and finaces like a Shnaghainese but he is friendly to everyone , he is a bit chubby and a cub too.

The food is superb , after you eat at Atom, you don't wanna touch Singapore Thai restaurant again, their flavors are not common run of the mill Singapore flavors , The staff and waiters are all gays, thai and maybe some Laotian young twinky boys who are friendly and attentive and do part time on the side if you know what i mean.

Newtown is located within 5o m of the gates of University of Sydney, so if you go during the lunch time crowd you get to ogle young Sydney uni guys , who knows you may get lucky.If you play your cards right.

Atom thai is also a bit expensive maybe 20% more what you expect to pay in Singapore but the food and gay ambience is so good , Any gay person just gotta go to Atom Thai food in Newtown , every gay in Sydney will at least go there once a week or more.

http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/atom-thai/

There are at least ten sex shops located on the main street in Sydney.Some in Chinatown, most stock Gay stuff like toys, vids . the local Sydney Star Observer is available free, there are lot free magazines and newslstters for gay info in Sydney and Oz available just at the entrance of most sex shops, these are adult premises .

Some are licensed S.O.P ( licensed SEX on the Premises) meaning they are allowed to provide a safe , secure backroom for gay cruising and quikie sex through gloryholes or mutual JO or Bj on the premises in the locked backroom , of course being a business, a fee is collected A$10-$12 . just go in a sex shop and asked if they have a back room . Most will have a big notice at the counter wall saying they have backroom provided just go boldly.

Sydney steam works or former 357 located aboy ten minutes walk up the hill from Chinatown is the most happening gay sauna in sydney , it is hot during lunch and evening, but the crowd of asians usually goes for old ang moh .

How to fine budget accommodation &what is nice place to visit or local travel agent

[gamcubmelb]

Do you mean 'find budget accommodation' or 'fine budget accommodation'?

Really depends on which one, what your budget is and what sort of accommodation you like... motels, youth hostels (backpackers), or backpackers.

Where/what sort of areas do you want o be close to?

[jwade93]

Please help to find budget accommodation ,price around 50,if possible near to habour

[Hakuboshi]

Go for Backpackers hotel. Near sydney harbor should be up to A$100 per nite. http://www.yhotel.com.au/content/hydepark.htm would be the best

Edited August 8, 2011 by Hakuboshi

[gamcubmelb]

Hmm for $50, you are more likely to get backpackers and dorm type accommodation... not your own room. Especially near the Harbour.

Safer dorms include the ones as central like YHA or the one near Oxford St. like YWCA.

They're pretty good... try the website; www.wotif.com.au for a selection.

[Guest Sydney]

Hi guys

Am going to Sydney for a year end hols, any recommendation of a decent hotel to stay in town, which is preferably near to vibrant scene (such as Sydney bathhouses)? Thanks.

[gamcubmelb]

Well, it depends on what is your budget and which types of bathhouses you are looking for. There are kinda different areas for different things you might be looking for. So, if you can indicate, what your budget range is for accommodation, and what sort of scene you're into, might be able to advise better eh?

[Guest ndro]

[passinthenight]

Get out and do the day tours- money well spent.

Wet on Wellington is nice, but is not that easy to reach the place. Subway is very central, at Flinder's Street Station.

My recent visit to 357 City Steam in Sydney:

The place is quite easily found within the vicinity of Chinatown, along the main road of Sussex St. Just google to get its location map.

Entrance fee is AUD17.00 from 10am - 2pm, Mon-Fri. Otherwise the normal admission fees is AUD24.00

I went on a weekday about 12pm, it is a huge place with a total of 4 levels. All levels are connected via staircase and an elevator (retarded and slow).

1st level is entrance and locker area. Behind it is the general wet area; shower place, steam room, sauna, warm water jacuzzi and toilets. That is also the busiest junction, there is a big couch right at the centre where you may wish to sit there and ogle at others walking in and out of the different areas (and choose your targets).

2nd level is a general cruising area; kinky rooms fitted with live cameras, rooms with glory holes, a room with 2 sided screens, and normal cubicles.

3rd level is another general cruising area with maze, dark areas and cubicles.

4th level is a leisure place with computers, rest area with sofa and magazines, a simple cafeteria and a movie room.

I would estimate about 30-40 guys when I was there, with patrons coming in and leaving simultaneously. About 70% caucasians, 30% asians. The profile is wide, from the fit to the shapeless (unless you deem round is also a shape), from young 20s to the senior in their 50s. Of course there are the 30s-40s group as well.

I would say the place is well-kept, clean and spacious. The locker area is a little cramp though. As Sydney is a place filled with many asians , hence I think there are comparatively more asians here in a western land.

Exchanged glances with a cute boyish chinese looking guy and he whispered to me to go to a room. He turned out to be effeminate, acted girlishly, no acts from him for mutual pleasing, hugged me like a daughter deprived of fatherly love and pleaded me to fxxk him. I left the room soon after.

Quite a number of angmohs showed interest, but I wasn't keen. For me, it was an experience trip and really isn't a place I would frequent as my choices are limited based on my preference. For those who are ok with either, it should be a nice place to explore.

[Guest curious]

I notice that Ozzies are not really into Asians, unless you are going after those in the 50s / 60s bracket. Any Ozzie younger than that tends to stay away from Asians unless you are the perfect beefcake, or unless you are the perfect twink, because of their stereotypical thinking that Asians are effeminate, and subservient. Just look at the Ozzies that go to 357, and see the types they go after, and you can tell.

[lightson]

if you are going to Sydney i highly recommend Bounce the hostel -- very close to the airport. Absolutely clean and i loved it though its a lil expensive for a hostel.

If not, try Wake Up backpackers. equally smashin'. but def more ex than usual hostels in sydney but worth it for the cleanliness!

[SjShiok-FreeMassage]

Anyone visiting Canberra ... as this is the Capital with only 300K+ residents, almost no PLU venue (only 1 mixed club). There is a place name Kambah Pool (Not a swimming pool) it is a riverside with beach area and has legislated nude beaches. And it has been a public secreet that the nude beach section is where all the local PLU having "fun" go deeper after the rocky area, you can have fun in open air by the the beautiful Murrumbidgee river on the rock (so kinky and back to nature). Crowd started as early as 12noon. Busiest day will be weekend.

How to get there? too bad only car can reach there as no other mode available ... best is rent a car if you are visitor

Map :

http://kambah-act.street-map.net.au/kambah-pool-rd/

Drive all the way heading the Kambah pool reserve which have large parking lot near the river (Dont turn to wrong beach as there are family beach and another is nude beach)

Have fun guys!

[Guest Guest]

Which is better sauna to visit in Sydney?

[Johnsontan]

Would love to see surfers' paradise since I am a fan of their apparels.

 

Any recommendation regarding the best time to go and other things I should take note of? 

[Guest guest]

Definitely visit during the end of year period as it is the summer and peak season. But note that it will be expensive accordingly due to the crowd.

You can get tickets to the attraction right at surfers paradise or your hotel should be able to arrange it for you.

Weather wise has not been too ideal the past month with occasional rain and thunderstorms. Bring along a light windbreaker for night use.

Apparel and stuff like Beach wear, rip curl and Oakley etc are generally cheaper so no need to buy them in singapore first.

[Afterwork]

Nice review. Was there recently myself and I cldn't find anyone that I really fancied, so didn't get to do anything much.

There was some open action at the tv lounge area, so dat was pretty exciting to watch.

Other unlikely areas... even in the toilet...

The aussies were really friendly and open, so it shldn't be a problem hooking up if u wanted to.

It's really quite a mixed bag of crowd which shld be the case for any sauna.
