🎲 Spin the gacha for Sydney & Blue MountainsSydney centres on its harbour: take a guided tour of the World Heritage Sydney Opera House, climb the Harbour Bridge with BridgeClimb, browse The Rocks Markets and ride ferries to Taronga Zoo and Manly Beach. Walk the clifftop Bondi to Coogee path, eat at Sydney Fish Market, or head out to the Three Sisters and Scenic World in the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley's cellar doors and the Stockton sand dunes on Worimi lands.
Good to knowTaronga Zoo is cashless, so bring a card. The Bondi to Coogee walk has steep stair sections, and public transport is easier than parking at either end. The Three Sisters is a declared Aboriginal Place of the Gundungurra and Darug peoples, and Blue Mountains lookouts can close for weather or fire danger.
