What is there to do in Sydney?

Question

I might be going to sydney for a 3-4 days holiday at the end of september, can someone please recommend what I should do in Sydney?

Answer 1

There are so many things to do in Sydney, exciting things:
Go to zoo, Darling Harbour, ferry ride across to Manly, visit revolving restaurant, museums, Chinatown, markets and the list goes on and on. There are just not enough hours in the day to do everything.

Answer 2

Go to Kings Cross and view all the weirdos.
This is regarded as the hub of Sydney, with plenty to see. there is a station right in the Cross, if you want to move on to somewhere else. Also you don't need to spend much, if you are only looking.

Asian meals in the lanes are extra cheap, and breakfasts on the streets, run by charitable organisations, if you are penniless. good food.
If you have heaps of money, there are plenty of establishments that will take your money quickly.
Darling Harbour is entertaining, with eveything under the sun to amuse you. Have Fun.
