Sydney Australia

Smoggier than Melbourne, Sydney is the main city everyone thinks of when they think Australia.

Sure it’s got the opera house, which is worth a guided tour.  During the tour you’ll maybe see some ballet performers practicing or somebody tuning  a piano.

Other than that, The Rocks area of Sydney is where all the restaurants and wine bars are. 

If you need to use a gym in Sydney, I recommend Fitness First  – just walk in and pay your $18.  Check out the opening times, they’re funny – as example does not open till 2pm on a Sunday!

Bondi beach is over-rated, but worth a look.  It’s actually a small beach.  Watch out for small jelly fish that wash up on the beach too.

The Star Casino is OK, very big but the restaurant choice is excellent…although watch the opening times, some are closed Sundays and Mondays.  Pyrmont was the best restaurant we ate in Sydney and I would recommend a visit to the casino just to eat.

Another thing to do is take a Catermoran boat out of the harbour and see some of the expensive harbour homes.

Aside from that there is a market in The Rocks which I quite liked too.
