The approach to Sydney airport flying over the harbour and city is stunning. Once you get into the city there is so much to see and do. If you have a head for heights you can have a meal in the revolving restaurant at the top of the Centrepoint Tower, but for a simply unforgettable experience do the Harbour Bridge climb !! One tip though.....DON'T have too much alcohol the day before because you ARE breathalysed and will be refused from climbing !! Take any harbour cruise for fabulous views of the harbour bridge and Opera House, or take the ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo to see the animals with the city as a backdrop ! Sydney is a vibrant, bustling destination that requires a couple of days to explore. If all that is a bit too much for you then just 2 hours west of the city are the breathtaking Blue Mountains, a photographer's paradise.

I think Sydney is simply one of the most wonderful cities on this planet. Sure, it's far from all glamour, but Christ, what fantastic views, climate, the harbour, the Rocks, that astonishing bridge, the people, the ice cold VB in the Sun. I would love to go back here.
