Sydney Things to Do Tips by dmirebella

Darling Harbour is intended to be one of Sydney's "buzz" places. Until now, Darling Harbour has been a place that has appealed more to little folk, due to the number of children's attractions, but the advent of the Cockle Wharf restaurant and cafe complex has added a new dimension to Darling Harbour.

Cockle Bay Wharf and King Street Wharf are two of the latest outdoor and indoor favourite dining and entertainment destinations, places where tourists and locals come to eat, drink, shop and generally be merry!!

This museum was first founded in 1965 by a group of public-spirited individuals to preserve the Sydney 1902 VIP steam launch Lady Hopetoun.

Now, its a community based non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation of Australian and particularly, Sydney maritime heritage. It is funded through donations, membership subscription, vessel charges and proceeds of four art unions per year.

The Museum's 1000 strong membership is a source of dedicated volunteer workers who restore, operate and maintain the Museums' fleet of vintage vessels.

One of the must see I reckon would be the Olympic stadium grounds (now known as Telstra Stadium).

It seats 110,000 spectators able to see the opening and closing ceremonies, track and field program and the final of the men's soccer tournament.

Guided tours are available but check before heading there. Otherwise jz walk around the grounds and be amazed.

The Archery Park adjoins Haslams Creek and wetlands and is part of the open space of Sydney Olympic Park. The building design is distinctly Australian, emulating the age-old beach umbrella or a lean-to hay shed.

Its slightly further away from the Olympic Stadium but a ride along the road will bring you there.
