A Singaporean in Sydney

So the Mrs and I will be spending some time away from the Dyaduses this December and ended up deciding on Sydney as our December getaway. She hasn't been, and we weren't in the mood for freezing our asses off up North.

Given the significant Australian population here, I thought I'd check in for a couple of recommendations? Happy to hear what you think are must-dos there. I've climbed the bridge and I've seen the Opera House. I'd grudgingly do those again if I have to since the Mrs hasn't been. But if I could get a couple of cool travelling tips from guys who know the place well, I'd be most most grateful! :D

EDIT: couldn't get that link to work properly :(

anyway, here's a quick reference: http://www.sydney.com.au/sights.htm

sorry for being so "generic". I'll try to write a more detailed list tomorrow.

thanks johnkeys! looking forward to the list detailed list :)

Go to Brisbane instead, check out the Hinterlands and the Beach IN THE SAME DAY!

It's truly amazing.

People living in Brisbane don't appreciate what an amazing place it is and how rich it is.

But if you set on Sydney, I would visit:

Sydney Aquarium

Taronga Zoo

Sydney Tower Restaurant

Bondi Night Markets and the Beach itself

Blue Mountains Wildlife Tour

Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tour

Adriano Zumbo's Patisserie

The Chinese Garden of Friendship

The Royal Botanical Gardens

The Rocks if something good is on.

Chinatown Night Markets

I assume a local would know better places, those are the things I'd hit up if I were in town, as well as you mentioned, the Bridge Climb and the Opera House.



I still vote for Brisbane.

Come to NZ. Visit GGG offices, plus other stuff.

I do like Sydney tho, have fun!

was going for the promised wall-of-text list, but seems like Velocireptile got a lot of things covered.
not bad for a guy from Brisbane :)
