Sightseeing

Take a bus to Watsons Bay and then the ferry to Circular Quay. Great way to see the harbour. You can do it in either direction but check timetable ahead as ferry can be infrequent outside peak times. Fish and Chips on the wharf is a great way to finish.

Take the ferry to Manly. Very frequent from Circular Quay. At Manly walk down The Corso to the ocean side and then follow the path on the south end around to Shelly Beach. The only west facing beach on the east coast of Australia! Great, safe swimming spot with a terrific kiosk.

Drinks & Nightlife

Don't leave Sydney without having a drink at sunset at the Opera Bar. Just head to Opera House by bus or train and settle in for the show. It gets very crowded so get there a bit earlier.

Parks & Nature

Start at the Art Gallery of NSW and walk along Mrs Macquairies road to the point. Then through the Botanic Gardens and on to the Opera House. Views all the way with plenty of spots to sit and take in the peace and quiet right in the heart of the city. Have a drink at the Opera Bar (alongside the Opera House) best in the early evening for an unforgettable sunset.

If you don't like ocean waves head to Nielsen Park by bus. Take the 386 from the bottom of Paul Street next to the Caltex garage. Great for a swim (there's a netted area), pic-nic or stroll in the beautiful natural setting.

Bondi is the best known but for us Bronte is the best beach. It's smaller and less crowded with a heritage rock pool and 'bogie hole' at the south end for a splash. Only swim in the pools or between the flags... but it's a must do.

Grab a bike or your walking shoes and head to the Park. It's a 20 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride. Join the joggers and bike riders for some great exercise. You can even take a horse ride but you'll need to book ahead. While you're there walk or ride along Lang Road on the northern side to see some classic heritage Aussie home architecture and gardens.

Spectacular views of Sydney coastline and harbour. Buses from Bondi Junction or Bondi Beach. From The Gap walk around to Camp Cove beach and then finish at the Watsons Bay pub. Lovely spot at any time but perfect in the evening to watch the sun set over Sydney. Bus back to Bondi Junction or Ferry to Circular Quay to continue your day...

Best snorkelling in Sydney. Borrow a mask and snorkel (I've got some) or join a group. You can walk there along the coastal track from Bondi/ Bronte or take the bus from Bondi Junction. You'll see an array of sea life including a pet groper!
