My family is planning a 6 day stop over in Sydney next week. Is it a good time to go sight seeing? |
Travel Info Will it be too cold to do the Mountain Tours? Or will it be damp. cold and gray? What day tours do you suggest? Travel Tips Hi, This is their winter downunder. Sydney has a great deal of one of kind "Things to Do". First off you have to buy the "Passbook" don't recall the name but you'll find it through any travel agency or you can purchase them at the Harbor. Plan your day(s) around the passbook schedule. Here are the things my bride and I did. Take a harbor to the Sydney Zoo you'll see all the country's animals. Tour the Opera house if there is a concert try see it. Tour "The Rocks", if you are at the harbor it's too the left, this is the oldest part of Sydney. There are a number of places in the Rocks to visit. Make sure, if you are up to it to do the bridge climb, this is a real treat. The locals call it the "Coat Hanger", for good reason. There is a museum on one on the pillars close to the rocks that explain the bridge and harbor. There is a monorail in town you have to ride it once. Take a harbor cruise toward the entrance to Sydney Harbor you will see a lot of the area. There are harbor ferries that run all over the place take one to the Aquarium you'll be impressed with the shark tank and Maritime Museum just across the waterway. Walk up to the Observatory on observatory hill. There are two "Ghost Tours" if you have two nights, you must make reservations in advance take one or both. There is a lot of history in and around the Rocks. Shopping, you will not fall short of shopping. There is even an F.W. Woolworth's store. You'll find plenty of information around town on things to do. You will not be bored. The Blue Mountains, don't know about this time of year, but they are fantastic to say the least. If you want warmth, take the flight to Carins this is right on the Great Barrier Reef, do a couple of day trips for snorkleing or even diving. Others no mountains in Sydney but a lot to see there temp is OK at the moment & rain is very rare in all the eastern states at the moment have a look on here for weather info http://mirror.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/... Anytime is good for sight seeing in Sydney. I would hardly call them mountains although it can get cool. I would just pick up brochures from your hotel and decide 24 hrs in advance. The first day you will find plenty to see by just walking around but the Powerhouse museum is a must on the first day. It is interactive so young and old children can enjoy themselves. This will tie up the first day whilst you plan the second. Any time is a good time visiting Sydney cause it's all year's season. Well, you can go to mountain tours (talking about the Blue Mountains?). Could be a bit rainy - but so what? Get yourself sturdy shoes and a jumper and if necessary a jacket. Weather never is too bad - the only bad thing might be if you get dressed wrong. It's late autumn in Australia by this time of the year. The mountain tour is the Blue Mountains - which will be cold, but not too bad. The rest of Sydney is pretty nice, and while it is moving towards winter, temperatures during the day are around 20 at the moment. Sight seeing with the family = Get on a ferry and go to Tarronga Zoo. Also ferry to Manly beach will be cheap and lovely. You could also do the Sydney busses tour to see the city. Some nice museums in the city as well. Heaps of parks and gardens, as well as Darling harbour. Citysearch.com.au is a good starting point. I live in Sydney |
