Hello everyone, I have been planning to visit Sydney with my family. Since, I am real busy with my hectic schedule; I thought that it would be a good place to relax for some days with my entire family. The reason I am here is that I don’t have any close associates that have been there, so I need advice from you people to help me know what are the do’s and dont’s that I need to take care of……..please do advice me on this.
Thanks in advance.

I've travelled to Australia (family who live there). Firstly, you need a travel visa. Just google it and the webpage will come up - you can do it on line. There are lots of trips on ferries from Sydney harbour.

Sydney is a good place and going with your family is just a great idea. While Australia is a "big country" the urban hubs of Sydney and Melbourne and their surrounding countryside can provide guests with days or weeks of wonderful experiences. Within two hours of Sydney you can be in the beautiful World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains, enjoying quaint villages or exploring a fabulous wilderness of this National Park area. If your desire is for fine food and wine then look for Hunter Valley tours. For the accommodations there, I would advice you to go with resorts united apartments and resorts which are independently owned and operated and are located in some of the most beautiful destinations.

Was in Sydney a while back (1993). You will love it. From memory my list of things to do would include climbing up onto bridge (designated route, no equipment required ), harbour cruise/ferry trip, lunch or dim sun in Chinatown, Blue Mountains, drive to Canberra for day if time allows, wildlife park (we went to Waratah, home of Skippy), Sydney Zoo is of a very high standard and also aquarium. Lots more to do & see.
I did enjoy the city but really really enjoyed a 10 day trip up to North Queensland where would be keen to go back to.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Blue Mountains are definitely worth a trip... Katumba is lovely.
If you're interested you can go see where Home and Away is filmed in Palm Beach, it's about an hour from the city in the car. There's a lovely beach and a really nice walk up to the lighthouse.
A surf lesson is great fun! We did ours on Manly beach, it's a bit cheaper than Bondi. There's also a lovely walk from Bondi to Cogee. You pass a lot of lovely beaches going around the coast.
We went up to Queensland from there which was really nice too!

adam.king, get out in the harbour on ferries (eg over to Manly or the zoo) Make the most of the great restaurants. Drive along the coast heading north and get a beech to yourself. I love the place (lived there for a bit many years ago).

adam.king, See if you can get on a yacht and sail past the Opera House out to the harbour heads. Little inflatable ice cream boats come out to you when you moor up and hold up signs showing all the lollies.
