Sydney Things to Do Tips by unravelau

Sydney's skyline is best viewed from a high spot somewhere -- this from the verandah of a unit where I visited some years ago. Other opportunities can be from the Harbour Bridge Walk or indeed from the plane window as you arrive. Just beautiful.

Sunrises and water seem to go together and Sydney has a lot of this, ie beautiful beaches and glorious sunrises. Make the effort.

The beautiful Banksia is just unique. The colour is like sunrise here (which can be brilliant), the foliage is no nonsense and the tree is hardy...........all admirable qualities. It stands out in the bush and I guess if I can liken a plant to a place, it reminds me of Sydney (although this photo was taken in Woolgoolga on the mid-north coast)

Directions: In Sydney, you would definitely find them at the Botannical Gardens.

While I have seen plenty of koala in the wild and often with babies on their backs, this was the first time that I had ever seen a baby suckling its mother. Although this was taken at Taronga Park Zoo and far from being totally in the wild, every effort is made to keep all of the animals in as close to their proper environment as possible.

I have just returned from a five day trip to Sydney where I got up to a bit of mischief but also took some photos......ha, ha.

On Monday, I took a walk after hopping off a bus at Circular Quay. Among those things that I saw, like the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, was the Oriental Gardens within the Botannical Gardens in Sydney. This flower was alongside a yellow one which is the same variety as one that I have at home. Glorious colour don't you think?

Come on, I am sure that you can guess. I took this photo through the front window of my brother's car on Tuesday as he was reminding me of the sights of Sydney.

You guessed it. We are driving on the Harbour Bridge.
