What to do and see

Sydney, Australia’s most famous city offers it all whether it be surfing the breaks at Bondi, strolling along the picturesque harbour or shopping along the bustling street of Oxford. Travel to Moore Park and expose yourself to a sporting extravaganza – a golf driving range, grass skiing, cycling and skating tracks are some of the many sports on offer. Moore is also home to the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) which hosts tours of the park and surrounds.

Take a 10 minute ferry from the circular quay to the Taronga Zoo. This amazing location holds an impressive number of furry creatures – nearly 3,500. All the animals are treated very well and because there are open spaces for the animals you’ll see them in a space that’s closer to their original habitat.
Enjoy the huge variety of shops, markets, cafes, boutiques and pubs in Paddington and when it comes Saturday check out the Paddington Markets and wander around the endless stalls of crafts, jewellery, fashion items and scrumptious food.
After a refreshing day spent at Sydney’s Bondi beach book a ticket for Bondi’s giant outdoor cinema. Haven’t eaten? Well this cinema offers a fantastic menu of food and wine to savour as the sun sets on Bondi.


Hot spots – Sydney Harbour and surrounds

One of the best ways to see the harbour is from the water. You can book a ride on a chartered yacht or kayak around the harbour and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You’ll get great views of the area and of the awe-inspiring Sydney Opera House.
