  • Across the world's most spectacular harbour, award winning Taronga Zoo is a Sydney experience not to be missed
  • The Rocks lies beneath the giant arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and overlooks the famous sails of the Opera House. This historic quarter of Sydney was the site of the first colonial settlement in Australia in 1788. The Rocks is now home to colourful characters, residents and artists.

Adventures

  • Go surfing at Manly Beach
  • South Cronulla beach is safe and sandy - and with gentle waves it is great for all beach activities, from swimming to building sandcastles. The nearby tidal pools provide an even more protected swimming in environment and the surrounding rock pools are great fun to explore.
  • Bondi, home of Australia's oldest Life Saving Club, is popular with the locals who participate in a wealth of activities that include beach volleyball, surfing, jogging, skateboarding on the ramp, roller blading and power walking
