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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
