For most of us, Australia is a pretty long way away (even from places closer like Bali<\/a>, the flights are still a few hours away) so a trip to Syndey is definitely one you want to pack in as much stuff as possible.<\/p>\n

On our trip to Australia from the UK, we flew to Dubai (over 7.5 hours), then to Singapore (another 7 hours) and then to Melbourne (don’t ask why – but still another 8 hours) and then to Sydney (just over 1 hour).<\/p>\n

All in all, about 24 hours spent travelling to Australia! But I digress, here are 15 things I definitely recommend doing when you go to Sydney.<\/p>\n

1.) Sail away… (darn it, now I have that Enya song stuck in my head!)<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

2.) Take a (seemingly eerie) walk through Sydney at night<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

3.) Check out an actual Opera performance at the Sydney Opera House!<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

4.) Stuff your face with some seafood!<\/strong> You’re in the right place for it.
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

5.) Spend an afternoon on the beach…<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

6.) Check out the ‘wildlife’<\/strong> (especially these Cockatoos – which are everywhere it seems).
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

7.) Walk onto the set of one of the TV series<\/strong> (this was the Home and Away one that you previously helped me identify who the actors were<\/a> – thanks for that! \ud83d\ude09 )
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

8.) Spend some time in the Manly Harbour!<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

9.) Not much of a sailing person, you can still rent a small boat and take it out for the day<\/strong>!
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

10.) Hop aboard a motor bike and check out the coast line!<\/strong> (I wasn’t sure if the guy wanted me to take his photo till I realised he stopped and even struck a pose)
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

11.) Have a barbecue!<\/strong> (How can you not?! You’re in Australia!)
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

12.) Hop aboard a ferry to other suburbs of Sydney!<\/strong> Definitely recommended!
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

13.) Head over to Luna Park.<\/strong> (That cheshire-cat-grinning-child entrance makes it look more like Lunatic Park but it’s actually quite fun and kitsch in there!)
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

14.) Do more than just see the Sydney harbour bridge. Walk across it!<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

15.) Or if you have a penchant for heights and lots of spare cash, maybe even walk over the Sydney harbour bridge<\/strong>?
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

16.) Head over to a pub for pint or two… (or three)<\/strong>
\n\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

17.) Try to also explore the city in the glorious sunshine!<\/strong> (Totally different feel from night time, I promise!)
