      A Perfect Day In Sydney

      8.00am

      Breakfast

      Start your day with breakfast in The Rocks or Circular Quay. Try La Renaissance Café Patisserie on Argyle Street, City Extra or Rossini on the Quay, or Pancakes on the Rocks on Hickson Road.

      9.30am

      Meet a koala

      Hop on a ferry and cruise to Darling Harbour. At Sydney Wildlife World, you’ll meet Australia’s iconic animals, including koalas, wallabies, wombats and crocodiles.

      11.30am

      Shopping

      Sydney is a great place to shop. The Queen Victoria Building may be the most beautiful shopping arcade in the world.

      1.30pm

      Honour in Hyde Park

      Stroll down Park Street to Hyde Park. Visit the moving Anzac Memorial to the country’s fallen servicemen and women. At the other end of the park, the Archibald Fountain is an Art Deco delight.

      2.30pm

      The Barracks

      Opposite the fountain on Macquarie Street is the Hyde Park Barracks. It once housed prisoners, orphans and destitute women in Sydney’s early years. The exhibits illustrate the grim conditions and how the survivors built the country.

      3.30pm

      Great views

      Cross back to Archibald Fountain, then turn right onto Market Street and the Sydney Tower Eye. From the observation deck (more than twice the height of the Sydney Harbour Bridge), you can see the Blue Mountains.

      5.00pm

      Art stroll

      Take a short cab ride to Walsh Bay. Once a busy warehouse and dock area, it’s the centre of Sydney’s performing arts world. The Sculpture Walk features six head-turning sculptures. Relax with a drink at a waterside café as the sun sets. The area is currently undergoing a phased redevelopment to create a public arts and cultural hub.

      6.30pm

      Dinner and a show

      After a pre-theatre dinner, take in a show at the Opera House which is ‘around the corner’. Other than the main theatre there are also performances in the Drama Theatre and Playhouse.

      10.30pm

      On the town

      Drink at one of the oldest pubs in Sydney. The Hero of Waterloo on George Street and the Lord Nelson Brewery both claim the title. Then view the city by night from Blu Bar on 36, atop the Shangri-La Hotel in The Rocks.

      Introduction

      Sunny, surf-fringed Sydney seems custom-built for outdoor enjoyment. Bold, bright and alluring, the city glows with instant sensuous appeal, from the grey-green, eucalyptus-filled valleys on the city’s outskirts to the terracotta-tiled roofs and swimming pools of the urban landscape.

      The city’s glorious harbour, stretching about 20km (121⁄2miles) inland from the Pacific Ocean to the east, is its dominant feature, and was what induced the commanders of the first convict fleet to make their settlement here. The city is now a sprawling metropolis extending more than 40km (25 miles) west, 20km (12 miles) south and 15km (9miles) north of the harbour. The urban area is
