Garie Beach

3 days in Sydney, What should I do?

I want to go to the Blue Mountains one day, another day go to Sydney Harbour Bridge, take pictures at Pylon outlook and look around The Rocks and Quay. How long will it take me to do the latter? I'm not much of a shopper. Would there be time to go to Bondi beach the same day or go to Newtown? What else can I do? Is the tribal boat cruise a tourist trap or fun? I'd like to learn a little more on aboriginals. Any other suggestions for my 3rd day?

1. The Blue Mountains is a great but tiring day if you are staying in the city as it is a good drive away. I would recommend that you do a Bridge Climb which is great and you can do this on your second day when you are at the Quay and the Rocks. The jet boat rides that leave from near the Opera House are also fantastic. Bondi and Newtown are not for away from each other- about half an hour by taxi so you could have breakfast at in one suburb and lunch in another. Have a great stay
2. If you have 3 full days of course you can fit in the Blue mountains and Bondi and Newtown ,also what about an afternoon at Taronga Park Zoo, Luna Park (more of an institution than a real theme park),The Rocks Discovery Museum Kendall Lane The Rocks, I have never heard of the tribal boat cruise ,cheaper way to see the Harbour is via ferry go to the following website http://www.sydneyferries.info/tickets-fares.htm they have an all day ticket that will allow you to cheaply all over Sydney.
3. the blue mountains, darling harbor, taronga zoo, shopping, the gardens. hope this helps.
4. skip the blue mountains-v boring! well for me. u might like it. if u go make sure u go on the bottomless cable cart ride and the really steep train thing. do u like vintage shopping? if not skip newtown go to bondi-its lovely i think if u dont do much shopping u could do newtown+bondi in the same day there are specific botanical gardens tours that take u round the garden and tell u about aboriginal heritage and then go to the aboriginal museum (i cant think of the real name) do u plan on going clubbing at night? go oxford street there are nice pyrmont boat trips that take u all around the harbour
