[QUOTE="squidina, post: 847428, member: 14227"] Ok, had a chat with my wife, and here's a bunch of things we came up with. It depends on what you're into and how long you have: - Bondi to Bronte walk. From Bondi beach along the coast, a real great walk. Bondi beach is worth the short trip out on the train - Blue Mountains -- bushwalking, great bush views, etc. - Hunter Valley ( about 2 hours outside of Sydney ) -- wine country ( depends on how long you have in Sydney I guess ) - Darling Harbour is popular with tourists - Circular Quay -- Opera House, Harbour Bridge, the Rocks ( historical part of Sydney ). Ghost tours through the Rocks is great fun and full of history if that floats your boat - Lord Nelson pub ( near the rocks ) -- try the 3 Sheets beer... highly recommended! - Paddington Markets each Saturday ( a short bus ride from the CBD ) - If you don't mind fine dining, Cafe Sydney, Quay or Aria restaurants are worth taking a look at ( but pricey ). They're modern Australian - Fish and chips on Manly beach -- catch a ferry from Circular Quay. Great surfing as well if you're into that - Luna Park -- can walk across the Harbour Bridge if you're keen or near Milsons Point station if not. Great view of the city/bridge and try Ripples at Milsons point ( right under the bridge, on the walkway to Luna Park ) - Centrepoint ( Sydney Tower ) has a revolving restaurant and "Skywalk" ( I think it's called ). Can't say if it's any good as I've not done it, but the views would be great - Sometimes there are things on in Hyde Park, depends on when you come. - St Mary's Cathedral is just across Hyde Park ( if you're into that sort of stuff ) - If you're into the more... erm... "colourful" elements of Sydney, go up to Kings Cross - Sydney Explorer buses are good hop-on/hop-off buses for one ticket. Also noticed they have a Sydney Harbour Explorer which takes you around the harbour for a similar thing but with boats - Museums, art galleries, etc. Actually, don't miss out on climbing the Harbour Bridge, it's well worth it. A little pricey, but awesome! That should start you off anyway ;) [/QUOTE]
