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?
.........................................................................................................


Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout ( Cost is $8 )

Open Open daily 10:00am-5:00pm
Nearest Public Transport
10 minute walk from Circular Quay


Website:
www.pylonlookout.com.au

Climb the 200 steps to the top of the Pylon, where you will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the city. Also find out how the Sydney Harbour Bridge was constructed & discover the stories behind the opening celebration.







Hyde Park ( FREE ) Maybe a good place for lunch.

Bounded by College, Elizabeth, Liverpool Streets
and St James' Road
Nearest Public Transport
St James' & Museum Railway Stations, Elizabeth Street Bus Services




Observatory Hill ( Free if not visiting the observatory )

Watson Road, The Rocks
Nearest Public Transport
Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 22, Circular Quay Rail, Ferry & Bus Station

Stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are available from Observatory Hill, the highest point in the city.




Sydney Opera House ( Maybe a good initial meetng point as everyone knows where this joint is )

Open Open daily 8:30am-12midnight
Benelong Point
Nearest Public Transport
Circular Quay Rail, Ferry and Bus Stations, Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 2





Sydney Tower ( About $20 )

Westfield Centrepoint, 100 Market Street
Nearest Public Transport
Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 14 & St James' Railway Station

300m above the city, Centrepoint Tower offers magnificent views that extend to the Central Coast to the north, Wollongong to the south and the Blue Mountains to the west.





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)




.........................................................................................................

Anyway there are heaps of options and these are just for the mix.

Ideas only.
