8 Top Attractions In Sydney, Australia
Katelyn McKinnies

Attractions in Sydney you'll want to see.

1. Sydney Habour Bridge Climb


Scared of heights? I promise this is worth the fear. Climb 134 meters above sea level while your leader entertains you with the history of the bridge you are currently on. Right in the heart of the Sydney Harbour you will get to experience a full view of your surroundings. Not to mention, the company takes the time to personalize a photo and video for you once you accomplish your climb!

2. Sydney Opera House



The 102 million dollar performing arts centre is widely known all over the world. The best view of the Opera House is from a ferry approaching Circular Quay (the second picture that was taken above). Schedule a tour and see the beautiful architecture of the famous Sydney Opera House!

3. Taronga Zoo



Take a 12-minute trip on the ferry from the city and arrive at the marvelous Taronga Zoo. Ride over the treetops on the sky safari and get a glimpse of what attractions you have ahead for the day. Kangaroos, koalas, and echidnas… oh my! Why not try an animal encounter with one?

4. Bondi Beach

One of Australia’s most famous beaches, this beach has tons to offer. Whether you’re coming for an event or just to people watch; there’s always something to do. The main street along the water is called ‘Campbell Parade’. Here you will find a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants. Don’t forget to stop by Bondi Icebergs where you can swim and eat. What are you waiting for? Hit the beach and catch some waves!

5. The Rocks


This historic site lies near Sydney’s Harbour Bridge; experience cobblestone streets, ghost tours, weekly farmers markets, and art galleries. Stop in for a beer at one of Sydney’s oldest pubs or have a wine tasting. Don’t forget to take a look around and take in your historic surroundings.

6. The Sydney Tower Eye

This viewing platform shows a panoramic view of Sydney. Choose the observation deck and use their interactive touchscreens that will give you an insight to the city’s famous landmarks. They also offer the Sydney tower skywalk (a full outside experience). You will walk on a glass floor 879 feet above the streets of Sydney.

7. Sea Life Aquarium

In the center of Darling Harbour, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium houses over 12,000 freshwater and marine animals. These include sharks, tropical fish, stingrays, dugongs, turtles, and penguins. Walk through 14 newly themed zones; the possibilities are endless. Come get lost in the sea with these amazing creatures!

7. The Sydney Explorer

All in all, this bus will show you it all. The open top, double decker is on a hop on- hop off bus route. The bus will take you to all the unique sites, landmarks, and wonderful places in Sydney. During your ride, enjoy the scenery with informative commentary. Your ticket allows you to get off where you would like and allows you back on to any explorer you see (buses are frequently at the stops around town).

Have fun, mate!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
