9.30am

Meet a koala
Hop on a ferry and cruise to Darling Harbour. At Sydney Wildlife World, you’ll meet Australia’s iconic animals, including koalas, wallabies, wombats and crocodiles.


11.30am

Shopping
Sydney is a great place to shop. The Queen Victoria Building may be the most beautiful shopping arcade in the world.


1.30pm

Honour in Hyde Park
Stroll down Park Street to Hyde Park. Visit the moving Anzac Memorial to the country’s fallen servicemen and women. At the other end of the park, the Archibald Fountain is an Art Deco delight.


2.30pm

The Barracks
Opposite the fountain on Macquarie Street is the Hyde Park Barracks. It once housed prisoners, orphans and destitute women in Sydney’s early years. The exhibits illustrate the grim conditions and how the survivors built the country.
