Hi Everyone,

I am heading to Sydney for about 9 days , the end of October. This will be my first time going to Sydney, and first time travelling on my own. Any ideas please on where to go and what to see etc ??

Off the top of my head:

Take the ferry to Manly
Sydney harbour bridge pylon
Opera house and botanic gardens
Sydney Tower viewing deck
Taronga zoo (can get a ferry from Circular Quay)
Walk around the Rock's area
The Blue Mountains (can get a train to Katoomba from Central station)
The Coogee to Bondi walk (bus it to coogee and then take bus back to city from Bondi).

That is just a few ideas hope it helps

Thanks for that list. Im also going in a few weeks for a year. Going to sydney first. That list should keep me busy for a while.

Is there anything to do for free or cheaply? Cheap and free until I get work.

Get the week long travel pass for trains, buses and ferries for 50 dollars.

Great value for getting around and seeing the city, I jumped onto a ferry one day in darling harbour thinking it would be a quick trip around to circular quay, got an hour and a half right trip up the parramatta river and got a real feel for the place.

Manly and zoo are defo worth doing, couple of really nice pubs in the rocks it's a world away from the busy city life yet 5 mins from George st.

I'm going back in two weeks, cannot wait.
