Sydney
Northern NSW • Sydney • Southern NSW
Often mistaken by international folk for our capital. It is not.
It is however Melbourne’s main competitor in the continuing challenge of “who can get the most tourists”.
The Three Sisters

The Three Sisters are one of those touristy places swarming with cameras.
It’s a rock formation in the Blue Mountains that is significant in the dreamtime legends of the local Aboriginal people.

Taronga Zoo

Sydney’s main Zoo.
It’s point of difference is that it has a chairlift, so that’s fun.
Also you can take a ferry from central Sydney to get there
Sydney Opera House
Website • Google Maps • Wikipedia
You surely know about this already, its only on EVERY single brochure for advertising Australia printed since forever.
I didn’t expect for the Opera House to be as close to the Bridge as it’s usually depicted but it actually is, which is pretty cool.
Anyway, it’s a big music venue. Not just purely for opera, because come on. It’s a very pretty building too.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Website • Google Maps • Wikipedia
This overgrown coathanger is a well-known symbol of Australia, and is often lit up to showcase important events. It’s a very impressive piece of engineering.
You can climb up it, and we have heard rumours that it is possible to push a shopping trolley full of beer to the top.
