8 Top Attractions In Sydney, Australia

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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
