I’m heading to Brisbane and Sydney soon! As a Canadian who opted out of my US trip for something more exciting, I’m looking for recommendations on what to see and do. Any must-visit places or things I should steer clear of? Thanks!

One thought on “Visiting Brisbane and Sydney. What should I do/see?”

  1. That sounds like an exciting trip! Both Brisbane and Sydney have plenty to offer. Here are some suggestions for each city:

    Brisbane:

    1. South Bank Parklands: Enjoy a stroll through this beautiful riverside park. Don’t miss the artificial beach and the lovely gardens.
    2. Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha: A great spot for nature lovers, with scenic views of the city from the lookout.
    3. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: Get up close with Australian wildlife, including koalas and kangaroos. You can even feed them!
    4. Queen Street Mall: Experience shopping and dining in Brisbane’s vibrant city center.
    5. Story Bridge Adventure Climb: For stunning panoramic views of the city, consider climbing the iconic Story Bridge.

    Sydney:

    1. Sydney Opera House: This iconic architecture is a must-see. Consider catching a performance or just taking in the views.
    2. Sydney Harbour Bridge: You can walk across the bridge or even do the BridgeClimb for a unique experience.
    3. Bondi Beach: Relax on this famous beach or take the coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee for stunning ocean views.
    4. The Rocks: Explore this historic area with its cobblestone streets, markets, and pubs.
    5. Taronga Zoo: Located on the harbour, it offers great views and an opportunity to see Australian wildlife.

    Things to Avoid:

    • Public Transport at Peak Hours: While the transport system is efficient, rush hours can get crowded.
    • Overly Tourist-Centric Areas: Some places (like certain parts of Darling Harbour) can be quite touristy and may not offer the authentic experience you might be seeking.

    Tips:

    • Try Local Foods: Don’t miss out on enjoying Australian cuisine, especially seafood and meat pies.
    • Weather: Check the weather before you go, as conditions can vary significantly.

    Enjoy your trip! It sounds like a fantastic choice.
