Just throwing in a few ideas on things to do and see.
I'm up for all or any depending on what everyone else wants to do. ( Just gonna go with the flow )
Hopefully we can get a few more overseas TFP'ers here too.
I'm working the Friday night but can put in a solid Sat & Sun.
What do all you guys want to do?

The Rocks ( Dollar value unknown )
The site of Sydney’s first settlement is a maze of cobbled lanes and beautifully restored sandstone buildings.
In other words,there are plenty of old fashioned pubs.
A great place for a few "quite ones"
There are markets here on weekends too.
Sydney Ferries ( About $6 for a trip to Manly and back and about $8 for the Jetcat)
