Visit Sydney must do list and what is the Jolly Swagman Backpackers like?
It does not matter whether you have been to Sydney many times or are just on your first trip to Australia, there are certain things that you just have to do.
Whenever most people go to Sydney there are lots of things on a "must do" list. Depending on time, some things have to wait but an essential is Circular Quay. Nothing in particular is the best part of Circular Quay because it is made up of hundreds of really good things to see and do.
Most of the enjoyment to the had in Circular Quay is free.
Just go there and watch. Sunday afternoon is crowded but the people become the attraction.
There are views that cannot be described. Take a smartphone or good camera and take lots of pictures because when you get back home you can expand the view and see all the little things that you could not possibly take in with a human eye. What is in that shop window? Who is on that verandah What is that ship? Who is in the water taxi? What are those people talking about on the ferry?
Walk around from one end to the other and do it all again. The Opera House forecourt facing Port Jackson is stunning and warm in the Sun. The architecture cannot be described. It is something that a human brain conceived and then, thousands of other human brains made it happen. Study the textures, colours, lines and shape.. Take plenty of pics.
Watch the ferry terminal. Dozens of government green and private enterprise white ferries come and go every hour... it takes an hour to see them all.
On the other side of the water, leading to The Rocks, is the Museum of Contemporary Art in a refurbished government building. Another hour gone there !
The Rocks and the Sydney cruise ship terminal are next.
The terminal faces the water and the view from that side of Circular Quay over water to the Opera House is brain overload. The Rocks is a real suburb that is a one off. Can't describe it because it changes during each hour in every day. Shops, cafes, restaurants and art galleries all thrive under the constant overview of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is high in the sky and dominating.
You can take a walking tour of the bridge. Another hour or so gone there.
