This is a really interesting site that is sprawling. A car takes you from the top of the hill to the museum. It is a fascinating part of the story of Sydney. Have lunch at the cafe and have a swim at the harbour beach. Arrive by ferry or by car - the choice is yours. I hear the ghost tour is good too!

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.
