Things To Do In Sydney?

[MYSKY1]

Hey,

My GF and I are heading up to Sydney for a few nights this weekend. On the cards so far we have Taronga Zoo, ferry to Manly, Sydney Tower, and shopping :-)

Any tips on things to do, places to eat, sites to see, etc?

Cheers!

The "Vivid Festival" is on too, so bring a camera if you want to see some interesting light shows/projections onto the Opera House and a few other prominent buildings around the city.

I'm keen on seeing the vivid festival at the Opera house. Anyone wants to arrange something for us non-NSWers?

Well forget all those typical places.

It will all be happening at my place this weekend.

Sydney Aquarium

Walk around Newtown

Conspiracy Theory:-

We're all "Full-up" here with 'The Plague'! Just Go away!

Go right past Sydney and proceed from Hume/Princes > Pacific > Brissie.

There is no $200 here to collect - as I said, only 'The Plague'!

We don't know how each resident contracted 'The Disease'

It may have been from Luna Park, The Zoo, Circular Quay, Sydney Tower, Newtown, Aquarium, Darling Harbour, Birkenhead, Harbour Bridge Climb, Opera House, Doyle's Restaurant @ Vaucluse, Sailing trip from Rose Bay, Manly Ferry, Bondi/Tamarama beaches, Royal National Park, Captain Cook Cruise, Balmain shops, Art Gallery of NSW, Elizabeth House Potts Pt, Woollahra Markets, or Paddies Haymarket; but Darlinghurst/Kings X are on the short list. All of these were fun until the lurgy bit us back!

The first time I went there also turned out to be the day of a goth festival... I'd never seen a fat, one-legged goth before.

Oh awesome! What do you mean "festival", it's that every day. They all walk down to Utopia on Broadway... or catch a bus, I don't know. Hooray for working 5 mins from Newy

Thanks so much for the replies. I've been to newtown a couple times cos a relo had a restaurant there. It was a real eye opener cos I was only about 14 the 1st time.

Anyway we've been busy at taronga zoo, harbour cruise, night market at the rocks, and shopping on George and pitt streets. Off to Manly on the ferry tomorrow. Have only seen 2 skylines so far but will keep my eye out!

[Munkyb0y]

how did you like taronga zoo? i love that place. it's so under-rated.
