There is so much to do in Sydney. We recently enjoyed the Skywalk at Centerpoint and through the revolving restaurant buffet was fantastic with the kids. The Museums and Art Galleries are all work a visit.
Check out the Rocks for old Sydney and visit the Lord Nelson Pub - one of the oldest in Australia. Go to The ShnagriLa Hotel and sip a cocktail on the top floor - Sydney is a great city.
