Hello everyone!
In about 3 weeks, I'm gonna travell to Sydney (from Greece) for first time in my life and live there for pretty much time.

If you have to suggest any attraction / interesting place to visit, please do it.
We plan to visit the aquarium at first (me and hubby are aquarists and wouldn't miss it for any reason).
Also, I might need some advice, about shopping (food, clothes... ) and pretty much everything about life in Sydney.

Feel free to add me if you want.

Thank you all!

    Hi. Live in Sydney myself. The Harbour Bridge climb might interest u and your husband if you are adventurous. Spectacular views of Sydney and get some exercise calories too. Other attractions include Taronga Zoo, Luna Park and of course catch an event at the Sydney Opera House.

    I live in Sydney. It is getting colder at the moment so be prepared. Have a weekend at the Central coast and see a game of football (nrl is big in Sydney). The Rocks have great markets during the day and a ghost tour at night. If you are willing to travel the hunter valley is winery heaven and you can see it via air ballon.

    Clothes. Our sizes are completely different from other countries so try them on. Best place to shop is DFO at homebush.

    Hello!!!! And thanks all of you for your suggestions! 3 weeks left!
    I know it's getting colder there and loosing summer in Greece is the only disadvantage of this trip. :laugh:
    We'll be together with hubby after 4 months being apart, so it doesn't matter me at all! :love: :love:
