Remember, you can take a photo of your landys with you and for an extra bit of comfort you can take a small rag with some 80w-90 gear oil on it in a plastic bag.:p

Hello ! is there anyone out there? I need help .

Three days, with Darling harbour as a base. First of , as a pensioner , [ I assume that, forgive me if I am wrong] you can buy a day ticket on public transport in Sydney that can take you as far as the Blue Mt's. to the West & Newcastle to the North & as far again south. If you are a walker, I suggest a look around the Rocks, then a walk to the fish markets, [ best battered fish I've tasted] Maritime museum, good value, my old ship Vampire, is there. Get on a ferry, any ferry, look at the harbour. The list is almost endless, when you get to your hotel, they will have suggestions for you. Take the opportunity to check out one of the best cities in the World. Bob
Aorrr! Some come up with the best ideas. :clap2:Quote:

I'm going to get the Big ticket and spend some time around the Maritime museum.
But they don't have 'MONA' do they?
Are there any four wheel drive tracks within 3 Klm's of the CBD, like Hobart has?
Seriously though, thanks for the suggestions. :thumbsup:

Arthur,
Sydney is probably the best city in Australia to be stuck in without a vehicle.
Trains, busses, trams and ferries can take you just about anywhere you want to go.
Jump on an intercity train at Central station and head up to the Blue Mountains, or Newcastle or Wollongong - all of those are great trips and will take the best part of a day if you stopover for lunch and a look around. The scenery is spectacular on any of those trips once you get out of the metro area, and it is still quite interesting in the metro.
As others said, explore the harbour - Manly, Watsons Bay, up the river to Parramatta. Bus to the top of Taronga Zoo, ferry back from the bottom. Tram down from Central to Chinatown for a poke around.
Only thing missing is a Monorail!
It truly is a wondeful place to visit for a few days.
Take a guided tour of the Opera House, looking at the weather you may have to organise in door pursuits, so check out the oldest continuous Aussie.licenced pub, the Australia Hotel, near the Rocks. take the ferry to Manly, have lunch at the excellent restaurant on the wharf. As mentioned , you need more than a few days to take in all Sydney has to offer. But, if you are like most people from quieter areas of Aus., the hectic pace & crowds of Sydney will give you a greater appreciation of your own home. [ Also Sydney was a dirty city last time we were there, especially Chinatown] Bob
It's still there! Last working day is today. No chance of getting on it though, as the final tickets were distributed by ballot some time ago.Quote:
