    As i mentioned in an other thread im going to sydney for a few days. So what is there to do there for a first time tourist?

    Opera House,
    Harbour Bridge,
    Zoo,

    These are the things Ill probably do. So anything else. Any museums worth the effort to get to. Im on a budget so things like the bridge climb is out.

    Sydney is expensive in this manner but here is a handy thing we did when we 1st got to Oz were: Use Publc Transport...........

    A boat trip of the harbour, without boat trip prices. Bring your bag of picnic and get the ferry from Circular Key to Watsons Bay and go for a walk on South heads Cliffs or also go out to Manly. Both ferries give great views of the Bay area en route and way cheaper than a cruise !

    Yeah def see Watsons Bay, walk out around the headland (past the nudist beach :eek:) and there's some great views by the lighthouse.. and the beach in Manly is very nice...you could go kayaking out in rose bay..I've been to the Australian Museum by Hyde Park, think it costs $10 in...it was OK I thought, not mind blowing but if you're into that kinda thing..there's more museums that I haven't made it to yet..I'd recommned the fish markets, love going down there and sitting out with some lobster and chips...few places worth walking around include the rocks and darling harbour, could visit the casino if thats your thing..hmm will come back to you if i think of more ideas
