El Orans and El Zee's great Sydney adventure

[fairybasslet]

Oh, and if we could see some aboriginal art : awesome.

You can see that pretty much anywhere you go in OZ. I saw galleries with art in Cairns and Sydney not to mention pretty much any gift shop.

Before Thursday preferably (our flight leaves on Friday).

Does your shopping cart have a backseat?

There is also a Sydney aquarium ? Does anyone know if it is worth visiting ?

You can get a pass for the Sydney Aquarium and the wildlife park for about $40 per person, it's a pretty good way to kill a few hours, the underwater shark exhibit is great, and lots of smaller aquariums featuring some of our native wildlife - in particular the platypus as you first enter should be the source of much musing between the 2 of you.

there are also some crocs, and a bunch of other underwater beasties.

The animal park thing next door isn't bad either, you should see Koalas and roos, and even a wombat.

Handy hint - if you want to go up Centrepoint Tower (AMP tower - or whatever they call it now) don't pay $30 each to do the "experience", go after 5pm and just go to the bar for free. Spend the $30 on drinks and enjoy the view as thefloor rotates 360 degrees over an hour. Much more enjoyable than having to deal with a tour guide and a bunch of bored tourists bwin ghsown videos etc...

Also, if you go to the Blue Mountains (the Three Sisters at Katoomba is a good place to start) try going on a weekday - the tourist hoards really do take a little away from the enjoyment, less crowds is always better.

No problem (arriving on Monday, leaving on Friday).
