Sydney Things to Do Tips by daelight

One of the first place I visited in a touristy whim was Sydney Zoo. On this day I took the ferry from Circular Quay and as I was a tourist, it had to be the one with commentry tour of the harbour. The lady spoke mostly about all the famous people living around the harbour and how much the houses cost so you could say it was more like a real estate tour :)

When I got to the Zoo I was told there was special discount day, it was just $10 to enter! I took a cable car up to the Zoo and had a look around. It is in a spectacular setting with the Harbour Bridge and Opera house as a backdrop.

And then I came across a Condor - yes a 5 month old Condor that was the first one successfully bred in the Zoo since 1975! It was huge and was allowed in an open place as it couldn't fly yet - although it tried!! 3 nice zoo keepers kept it away from the punters but it did get close to a little child, it would have ate him!

We were lucky to live right next to Fox Studios for a few months. There's always something going on there. For movie premiere's, famous people and just good old fashioned commercialism you can't go wrong here.

Wow, Darling Harbour .. so much in such small place. Just loved it! Every week there seemed to be an event to go along and see. Lots of open air music and entertainment. Just look out for the flags and the flyers, guaranteed great day / night!

Chinatown is fantastic. Lots of life going on. Great resturants and shops here. One day there was a movie shoot going on. I was suprised when I saw this guy dragging a guy from a car with a gun and bringing him into the Hotel!!
