I havn't been for 15 years so Zilch etc will be better to help you. If you want a great place to stay in the Barrier Reef go to Hayman Island - fantastic, or at least it was 15 years ago when Mrs VA & I spent some of our honeymoon there. The Hunter Valley (Wine region) is always a good weekend away too. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Four Seasons is better, a personal fave of mine....

Sydney -
1. I think it's possible to climb the harbour bridge - not 100% sure but if so do it!
2. Go to the harbour entrance (The Heads) for just a fantastic view.
3. Go sailing on the harbour.
4. Take the ferry - anywhere! No better way to commute to work.
5. Have an evening meal at Doyles in Watsons Bay.
6. Have Sunday Lunch at The Bathers on the beach at Balmoral


Remember it has been a number of years since I've been to Sydney so things may have changed. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Thanks VA

....although you won't get my girlfriend climbing bridges, she gets scared driving over them

Also go to the Northern beaches and get a surfing lesson. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Do they have a Travelodge there??

Was there for New Year 2006 did the Bridge Climb (highly recommended) Would also recommend the following:

- Ferry to Manly Beach
- take the ferry to Tonga Zoo interesting zoo and also great views back across Sydney
- Seaplane ride round Sydney harbour
- Take a trip up to the Blue Mountains and go to Jenolan Caves
- Go up the Sydney Tower - great views
- Wander around the CBD and the Botanic gardens

Loads to do and see - you'll have a great time!
