Warnings Or Dangers: Pretend Melbourne Doesn't Exist
  • Tip Rating:
  • The worst thing to do when in Sydney is to compare it to Melbourne or say you like Melbourne better. The rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne is strong. Both sides love their city and feel that it is the best in Australia. Just praise Sydney (like that's soooo tought to do) and you'll be fine.

    Spiders / Snakes / Animals: One of the Spring Plagues in Sydney....Flies

  • Walking around the Botanic Garden

  • We visited Sydney in October which is their Sprintime. During this time there are alot of flies and gnats. We were swarmed at many occasions by these pesky insects. So many people were seen swatting flies away it looked like they were all waving hello.

    Try to avoid any sweet smelling perfumes, hair products or soaps in order to keep them away. Insect repellent couldn't hurt either.

    Money Changing: Use Your ATM Card
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best way to get local currency is to use your ATM card. The rates are better than at those"touristy" exchange places. There are plenty of ATM machines all over Sydney and at the airport when you arrive.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Be Safe
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sydney is a very safe city but it's always important to be on your guard. When walking in the parks be careful...there are many desolate areas in the Botanic gardens and in Hyde park. Know where you are and how to get where you are going. I was traveling with my boyfriend and was still very careful.

  • Pay attention to warning signs. It's for your own personal safety. Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean that safety shouldn't be a priority.
