    Sydney Harbour: Catch a ferry or the RiverCat,...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Catch a ferry or the RiverCat, they take you to plenty of destinations, run frequently and are pretty cheap. You can get up the Parramatta River, past Homebush to Parramatta itself which is mainly a business area, but has plenty of restaurants and a good visitor centre. Good shopping centre with a great food mall of various types of food at inexpensive prices
    Circular Quay is a fantastic hub of ferries, Rail and the City

  • Tip Rating:
  • Featherdale Wildlife Park is a really friendly hands on type of Zoo, great for the kids as they can get to feed the Kangeroos and Wallabies. :)

    Blue Mountains: Get to see The Blue Mountains....
  • Tip Rating:
  • Get to see The Blue Mountains. They really are a must see. The most popular destination is Katoomba (The Three Sisters). There are 3 choices of viewing-The Scenic Railway (very steep) The Skyway Cable Car (Very High) and The newest one the Scenic Skyrider (Least Hairy!) There's a rotating restaurant by the cable car ride as well-neat :)
    Unique wildlife and Countryside. Theres some great walks around here, get down to the bottom of the Valley where you are overlooked by the Three Sisters.
