9 days in Sydney Itinerary

Lent iconic status as a result of its famous bridge and opera house, Sydney has a down-to-earth charm that enhances its spectacular setting and functional efficiency.

Change things up with these side-trips from Sydney: Norman Lindsay Gallery & Museum (in Faulconbridge), Hawkesbury Regional Museum (in Windsor) and Trees Adventure Grose River Park (in Richmond). There's still lots to do: trek along Bondi to Coogee Walk, take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, see the interesting displays at Australian National Maritime Museum, and admire the sheer force of Wentworth Falls Lookout.
