Sydney
The capital city of New South Wales and the site of
Australia's first permanent European settlement.
Sydney is, certainly to its residents, one of the world's
most beautiful cities. Set on a large harbour it has the
natural advantages of walks around the harbour foreshores,
spectacular views bayside parks and gardens and the
architectural magic of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera
House.
The English writer Anthony Trollope, when he visited
Australia, wrote of Sydney: 'I despair of being able to
convey to any reader my own idea of the beauty of Sydney
Harbour. I have seen nothing to equal it in the way of
land-locked sea scenery.'
The best way to understand the greater Sydney region is
to think of it as a huge saucer-like bowl with drowned river
valleys in the north (the Hawkesbury River-Broken Bay area),
the south (Port Hacking) and in the middle (Sydney Harbour).
These three fine waterways were formed during the last ice
age when the sea was more than 100 metres lower than its
current level. When the sea level rose the river valleys
were drowned. These drowned valleys can be easily seen if
you fly over the city.
The centre of the greater metropolitan area is a
low-lying plain which stretches west for nearly 50
kilometres until it reaches the eastern edge of the Blue
Mountains. The westerly extremity of the city is drained by
the Nepean River which flows along the base of the Blue
Mountains and joins the Hawkesbury River near Windsor. In
turn the Hawkesbury cuts a valley until it reaches the sea
at Broken Bay.
Lying to the north and south of the entrance to the
harbour are more than twenty excellent beaches all of which
are ideal for swimming, surfing and sun-baking in the summer
months.

History of the City
Prior to the arrival of Europeans, a number of different
groups of Aborigines lived peacefully and successfully
around the harbour. Captain James Cook sailed up the east
coast of Australia in 1770. He entered Botany Bay and
thought it suitable for a colony. He did not enter Sydney
Harbour and, seeing it only from the ocean, did not
recognise its unique deepwater facilities.
On 13 May 1787 a fleet of eleven vessels left Britain
bound for Botany Bay to establish a penal colony. The
flagship of the fleet, the 520 ton HMS Sirius, was captained
by Arthur Phillip who was to become the colony's first
governor. The vessels arrived at Botany Bay on the night of
19 January 1788.
Phillip quickly determined that Botany Bay was
unsuitable. On 21 January, accompanied by a small detachment
of marines, he rowed north. On the afternoon of 21 January,
Phillip entered Port Jackson. He was later to write that it
was 'one of the finest harbours in the world, in which a
thousand sail of the line might ride in perfect security'.
On 26 January Phillip led the fleet north to Sydney Harbour.
By the middle of the day convicts were cutting down trees
around the edge of Sydney Cove and, as the day came to an
end, Phillip and his officers raised the Union Jack of Queen
Anne and toasted the British royal family and the future of
the colony.
The settlement started with nothing. Houses had to be
built, streets and lanes carved out of the slopes on either
side of the Tank Stream, quarters constructed for the
soldiers and convicts, fields planted and the countryside
explored. This was the true origin of Sydney. A dirty and
desolate penal colony at the end of the world.
Conflict between Aborigines and Europeans occurred within
months of the landing. As early as May 1788 a convict
working beyond Sydney Cove killed an Aborigine and shortly
afterwards two convicts were speared and killed while
gathering rushes at the place now known as Rushcutters Bay.
The history of Sydney from 1825 until the 1860s is that
of a prison slowly evolving into a society where free
settlers and emancipated convicts worked together. The
turning point occurred in May 1851 when Edward Hargraves
brought 120 grams of gold to Sydney triggering the
goldrushes. Overnight workers in Sydney downed tools and
headed for the goldfields. Miners and prospectors from all
over the world passed through Sydney eager to try their luck
on the goldfields.

The city continued to expand throughout the 1870s and
1880s. The post-World War II development of the city has
seen the construction of the Opera House, the creation of
efficient urban transport, the enormous growth of suburban
Sydney so that it is now a city similar in size to Los
Angeles, and the modernisation of the city centre.
Modern Sydney suburbia is remarkably similar to American
suburbia with large shopping complexes, huge parking lots,
the majority of people driving their own cars, freeways
abound and most people live in single-storey brick bungalows
on neat suburban plots.
Sydneysiders enjoy the city's excellent wine bars and
coffee lounges, they range widely across the city's diverse
ethnic restaurants, and they display an easy tolerance
towards the immigrants who have so significantly altered the
city's lifestyle over the past fifty years.
Things to see:

| Kirribilli and North
Sydney with the Harbour Bridge and city centre in
the background |
The Harbour Bridge
No visit to Sydney can be considered complete without a
leisurely walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge. Entry to the
pedestrian walkway is via the southeast pylon which is
reached by walking up Argyle Street in the Rocks, ascending
the Argyle Steps, crossing Cumberland Street and following
the signs marked 'Bridge Stairs'. The view is spectacular at
any time of the day but is particularly impressive in the
early morning or late afternoon.
The Bridge is Australia's most famous and distinctive
construction. It took nine years to build, weighs 60 000
tonnes and, at its highest point, is 134 metres above the
harbour. The bridge forms a vital link between Sydney's
northern and southern suburbs. Prior to its completion
people living on the North Shore either caught ferries to
the city centre or made the long journey to Parramatta where
the harbour could be crossed by a number of small bridges.
It is now possible to walk over the top of the bridge.
The adventure is not cheap, and not for the faint-hearted
but it does offer the best views of Sydney and it also
offers the cachet of being able to say that you have done
it.
The Rocks
Although now predominantly a tourist attraction consisting
of historic pubs, restaurants and chic gift shops, it is
still possible (particularly if you explore beyond the main
streets) to see that, in the 18th and 19th century, this was
the centre of the city¹s wild military and convict night
life.
The Rocks remain Sydney's most concentrated area of
historic significance. The Sydney Cove Authority recognises
twenty important nineteenth century buildings in the area
bound by the Cahill Expressway, Sydney Cove and Cumberland
Street.
A sensible walk through The Rocks starts on George Street
at the Cahill Expressway, moves down to the Mercantile
Hotel, turns back along the walkway below Cumberland Street,
descends the stairs at the Argyle Cut and cuts back through
Playfair Street to the Rocks Square. This walk, which could
take as little as half an hour, would include the old Police
Station (1882) on the western side of George Street, the
Museum of Contemporary Art over the road, John Cadman's
cottage (1816 - a stone cottage built by the superintendent
of boats which is Sydney's oldest building) which is next
door to the Rocks Visitors Centre (the largest information
centre in Sydney - open every day between 9.00 - 5.00) which
is located in the old Sailor's Home.
Further along, on the Quay side of George Street, steps
lead down to the Mariner's Church which was built in 1856
and the ASN Co. building (1884). Continuing along George
Street, past the Old Sydney Park Royal Hotel there is the
Merchants House Museum on the left and the impressive stores
on the right which contain both the Rocks Weekend Market and
the Earth Exchange, an excellent geological and mining
museum which is open from 10.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. every day.
The entrance is from Hickson Street.
Turning the corner at the Mercantile Hotel there is a
pleasant walk back to the Argyle Steps which go down to the
Argyle Centre and The Rocks Centre.
The area has a wide range of free shows, a number of
interesting galleries (particularly the Aboriginal Art and
Tribal Centre at 117 George Street.

district rises behind Circular Quay
|
Circular Quay
Circular Quay is the hub of Sydney. It was the centre of
Australia's first European colony and, even today, it is
still the place where Sydneysider congregate on special
occasions. On a warm, sunny Sydney day there can few greater
pleasures than idly wandering around the foreshores of
Sydney Cove. Lying at anchor in Campbells Cove is the tall
ship Bounty, a faithful replica of Captain Bligh's 18th
century vessel which was built for the Mel Gibson film
Mutiny on the Bounty.
Beyond lies the gracious sandstone Customs House which
has recently been turned into the Museum of Contemporary
Art. It is well worth a visit. It has travelling exhibitions
as well as an excellent permanent collection of important
international contemporary art works.
Circular Quay itself is a major transport node. It still
provides a wide range of ferry services to Manly, Taronga
Zoo Park, Cremorne Point, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Darling
Harbour, Balmain and a number of other destinations. It is a
delightful way to see the harbour, the bridge, the Opera
House and the harbour foreshores.
Opera House
John Douglas Pringle, an editor of the Sydney Morning
Herald, wrote: 'There it stands, like Santa Maria della
Salute on the lagoon in Venice, a perfect symbol linking the
city to the sea, welcoming incoming ships with its wide open
arches, shining brilliantly in the summer sun or gleaming
palely by moonlight, contemporary in feeling yet reminding
us of other ages when great buildings were built to the
glory of God or the splendour of princes and not simply for
utilitarian purposes. I believe it is a building of which
all Australians may rightly be proud, perhaps the only true
work of architecture on this continent.'
The design for the Sydney Opera House was determined by a
competition which was announced in 1955. There were over 230
entries from 32 countries. The prize of £5000 was awarded to
a 38-year old Danish architect, Joern Utzon.
The actual construction took 14 years and cost over $100
million. The project was funded by a state lottery. The
buildings famous 'wings' or 'shells' required extraordinary
engineering skills. People often think of the Sydney Opera
House as just a single opera theatre. In fact it has a five
theatres - a concert hall, an opera theatre, a drama
theatre, a cinema and a recording hall - as well two
restaurants, a number of bars, six lounges, a library, five
rehearsal studios and 65 dressing rooms.
There are regular Guided Tours of the building which are
conducted daily between 9.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m. and Backstage
Tours occur on Sundays between 9.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.. For
more information contact General Information on tel: 9250
7111.
Botanic Gardens
Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are a truly beautiful and
cool retreat in the heart of the city. These magnificent
gardens became a Botanic Garden in 1816 when Governor
Macquarie had a road constructed to Mrs Macquarie's Chair
and appointed Charles Fraser as the superintendent of the
gardens. Over the years the 29 hectares have been laid out
so that there is now an Upper, Middle and Lower Garden
through which nearly 2.5 million visitors stroll each year.
The gardens have over 4000 trees and plants from all over
the world. There are specialist collections in the herbarium
and the pyramid glasshouse where the heat and humidity
support an outstanding mixture of tropical and sub-tropical
plants.
The gardens contain a Visitors Centre, Gardens Shop and
Gardens Restaurant and there are free guided walks which
leave the Visitors Centre on Wednesday and Friday at 10.00
a.m. and on Sunday at 1.00 p.m.. The gardens are open from
6.30 - sunset. For information contact the Visitors Centre -
tel: 9231 8111 and 9231 8125.
Mrs Macquarie's Chair
To the east of the Royal Botanic Gardens is Mrs Macquarie¹s
Chair (often called Lady Macquarie's Chair) where the wife
of Governor Lachlan Macquarie used to sit and enjoy the view
across the harbour. For over 150 years it has been one of
the most popular of all the harbour vantage points with
excellent views across to the island of Fort Denison. The
construction of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge have
meant that the westerly view, particularly at sunset,
produces the dramatic effect of having both buildings
silhouetted against the setting sun. It is become a popular
haunt for photographers.
Art Gallery
The Art Gallery of New South Wales has representative
examples of art works ranging from a substantial Aboriginal
collection to modern Australian masters and excellent
examples of the country's finest colonial artists are all on
display. Of particular interest are the works of Conrad
Martens (Australia's answer to J.M.W. Turner). The gallery
also contains works by European masters including Picasso
and Rembrandt.
The gallery often has visiting exhibitions. Admission to
the gallery is free. It is common to pay for entry to the
visiting exhibitions. The Gallery is open from 10.00 a.m. -
5.00 p.m. daily. There are eating facilities and an
excellent bookshop. For information telephone either 9225
1744 or 9225 1790.
Mitchell Library
Known to Sydneysiders as the Mitchell Library, the State
Library of New South Wales is the state's major repository
of historic documents, sketches and information. The
centrepiece of this interesting combination of old and new
buildings is the Mitchell Library, the largest collection of
colonial Australiana in the world. The core of the
collection - the initial 61 000 volumes - was donated by
David Scott Mitchell, an avid bibliophile. It is open from
9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. Monday - Friday and 11.00 a.m. - 5.00
p.m.on Saturday and Sunday. Entrance is free. Telephone 9230
1414 for further information.
Macquarie Street
Macquarie street runs from the Opera House to Hyde Park
passing through the city's medical specialist area and being
edged by the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Conservatorium of
Music, the state's parliamentary complex and such
historically significant buildings as the Mitchell Library,
Sydney Hospital, the old Sydney Mint and the Hyde Park
Barracks.
Of particular interest are the handsome 19th century
townhouses and Georgian buildings (one of which houses the
Royal Australian College of Surgeons) at the northern end of
the street. These are a reminder of a time when Macquarie
Street was home to Sydney's high society.
To the south is Sydney Hospital, built in 1880, and the
elegant building which houses the New South Wales houses of
parliament. Near the hospital is Martin Place the centre of
the city's banking district. At the bottom of the Place is
the city's cenotaph and the huge and stolid General Post
Office building. Built in 1810 Parliament House in Macquarie
Street is one of the city's most elegant historic buildings.
It is open between 9.00 a.m. - 12.00 and 2.00 p.m. - 4.00
p.m. Monday - Friday with guided tours being available when
parliament isn't sitting. For more information: tel: 9230
2111.
Next door are the Hyde Park Barracks. Built in 1819 they
are now a tourist attraction focussing on the working lives
of the early convicts. The highlight is an evocative
soundscape designed to create the life of convicts.
Hyde Park
Hyde Park is the city's central open space. Originally the
site, in the early 19th century, of the city's first
racecourse, it was established as Hyde Park in the early
years of the 20th century. Spread over 16 hectares it is
divided by Park Street with the dominant feature of the
southern section being the New South Wales War Memorial and
the dominant feature of the northern section being the
Archibald Fountain.
The War Memorial is an art deco construction which stands
30 metres above the Pool of Remembrance. There is a Hall of
Memory and a Hall of Silence. The war memorial is open
during the day. There is an exhibition of photographs of
Australians at War in the exhibition space underneath the
building. For more information contact (02) 9267 7668.
St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral and St Andrews
Anglican Cathedral
St Mary's Cathedral, located to the east of Hyde Park, is
still incomplete although the foundation stone was laid in
1868. The location has been used by Sydney's Catholics for
more than 170 years. In 1821 a stone was laid on this site
and the original Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was
built. It was destroyed by fire in 1865 and three years
later the foundation stone of the present cathedral was
laid. The building is classically Gothic in design. Today it
is the centre of Sydney's large Roman Catholic community. It
is currently having the spires, which have waited over 100
years to be completed, to be installed.
St Andrew's Anglican Church, located in George Street
next to Sydney Town Hall, is Australia's oldest cathedral.
The foundation stone was laid by Governor Lachlan Macquarie
on 31 August 1819 and the original plans for a typically
Gothic cathedral were drawn up by the great convict
architect, Francis Greenway. Unfortunately there was a
shortage of funds at the time and the cathedral got little
further than a foundation stone until 1837 when it was
redesigned by Edmund Blacket (he was the architect
responsible for Sydney University's central buildings) in a
style which was based on St Mary's Church in Oxford,
England. It was eventually completed and consecrated on 30
November 1868 - St Andrew's Day.
Queen Victoria Building
Pierre Cardin, the famous French couturier, is reputed to
have described the Queen Victoria Building (known to
Sydneysiders as 'the QVB') as 'the most beautiful shopping
centre in the world'. The building which connects Town Hall
railway station with Market Street in the city centre is
architecturally magnificent. Built in 1898 and designed to
resemble a Byzantine palace it spent decades in a state of
serious disrepair. Threatened with demolition in 1959 it was
restored at a cost of $75 million and opened in 1982. It is
open seven days a week. Contact tel: 9264 9209 for general
information.

Centrepoint Tower
One of those tourist 'things' that everyone visiting Sydney
should do is take the lift to the top of Centrepoint Tower.
The views from the Observation Deck are remarkable and give
every visitor an understanding of the structure of the city
with views to the north across Sydney Harbour, to the west
across to the Blue Mountains, to the south across Botany Bay
and Sydney Airport towards the Royal National Park and east
to the Harbour Heads and the Pacific Ocean. Located at 100
Market Street it is open every day and night. Tel: 9229 7444
for more information.
Australian Museum
The Australian Museum, the nation's oldest and largest
natural history museum, is located at 6 College Street near
Hyde Park. Its displays of Australian flora and fauna are
considered the finest in the country and some experts have
rated it as one of the world's top natural history museums.
It is the repository for over 8 million pieces. Of
particular interest to the visitor are the permanent
exhibitions on Aboriginal Australia, local mammals, birds
and insects. There is also an excellent, and hugely popular,
dinosaur display. The museum is open seven days from 9.30
a.m. - 5.00 p.m. For details of current exhibitions the
Museum's Alive Line is 0055 29408.

| Clock at the Powerhouse
Museum |
Powerhouse Museum
Powerhouse Museum is an outstanding science, arts and
technology museum with exhibits ranging from New South
Wales' first steam train to the huge Boulton and Watt steam
engine which was built in 1780 at the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution. The museum also includes exhibitions
of furniture, clothing, aeroplanes and it has special areas
for children, regular specialist exhibitions and a
restaurant decorated by the popular Australian artist Ken
Done.
The museum's decorative arts displays include historic
costumes, a Wedgwood collection and some fine examples of
Thomas Hope furniture. The space technology display combines
pieces from the USA, USSR and Chinese space programs
including a Saturn V rocket launcher and a replica lunar
lander module.
Australian National Maritime Museum
Located at the northern end of Darling Harbour, the
Australian National Maritime Museum is designed as a
comprehensive overview of Australia's relationship with the
sea. The museum is organised with sections devoted to six
themes in Australian maritime history: (a) discovery of the
continent from the earliest Aborigines to the arrival of
Captain Cook (b) passengers and the long sea voyages that
were involved in reaching the continent (c) the commercial
value of the sea and its working, economic potential (d) the
sea and leisure with an emphasis on sun, surf and sails (e)
the Australian Navy - the difficulty of protecting Australia
from outside invasion. It is possible to climb aboard a Navy
destroyer (f) Australia and the USA - the links across the
Pacific. As well there are a number of changing exhibitions.
For more information contact either tel: 9552 7500 or the
Infoline on tel: 0055 62 002. The museum is open from 10.00
a.m. - 5.00 p.m. every day.
Museum of Contemporary Art
Located in the old art deco Customs Building on the western
side of Circular Quay, the Museum of Contemporary Art offers
an excellent cross-section of international contemporary
art. Acknowledged masterpieces in the collection include Roy
Lichtenstein's Crying Girl and Robert Indiana's Love. It has
become one of the city's cultural centres holding lectures,
films and, occasionally, concerts. As well the MCA shop has
an interesting collection of gifts and pieces of art.
For more information contact tel: 9252 4033. The museum
is open from 11.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. every day.

| Darling Harbour
|
Darling Harbour
Darling Harbour is Sydney¹s equivalent to San Francisco¹s
Fisherman¹s Wharf. It is a large complex of hotels, museums,
gift shops, restaurants, fast food eateries and a constant
parade of entertainments all set against a backdrop of the
harbour.
When it opened in 1988 the Darling Harbour complex was
the biggest urban redevelopment ever undertaken in
Australia. A rundown collection of wharves and warehouses
were converted into a place which now is one of the city's
premier tourist attractions.
The major attractions include the Monorail, the National
Maritime Museum, the Sydney Aquarium, Jordan's Seafood
Restaurant, the Exhibition Centre, the Chinese Garden, the
Sydney Entertainment Centre, the Harris Street Motor Museum
and the Powerhouse Museum.
Built amid much controversy and public debate, the
Monorail runs a circuit from Darling Harbour (there are four
stops in the complex) to the city centre. It is a
moderately-priced and efficient way to visit Darling
Harbour. If you intend making more than two trips make sure
you purchase a Monorail Day Pass.
At the northern end, near the Aquarium, a ferry service
runs every thirty minutes. It completes a circuit stopping
at Balmain, McMahon's Point and Circular Quay. It is a
pleasant short journey around to the Rocks and the Opera
House.
A sensible first stop at Darling Harbour is the Visitors
Centre where maps, daily information and information about
special 'deals' are provided. It is open from 8.30 a.m. -
5.00 p.m. For details contact: tel: 9286 0111.
|
| Darling Harbour and the
Aquarium at night time |
The highlight of Darling Harbour is the Sydney Aquarium,
an outstanding collection of exhibits which provide a
comprehensive overview of Australian aquatic life with
everything from seals and crocodiles (they can remain so
motionless that many visitors think they are stuffed) to
sharks, stingrays and the wide range of fish which live in
Sydney Harbour. The exhibits include fish from the Far North
of Australia, fish and crustaceans from the Murray-Darling
River system, brightly coloured fish from the Great Barrier
Reef and a touch pool where visitors can make contact with
the crustaceans and molluscs that live on the shoreline. It
is open from 9.30 a.m.- 9.00 p.m. every day. For details
contact: tel: 9262 2300.
Chinatown
Just beyond Darling Harbour is Sydney¹s Chinatown. Chinatown
is a popular centre for Australian Chinese and for more
recent immigrants and students from south-east Asia. In the
past decade large numbers of Asians, many of them refugees
from Indo-China, have arrived.
Chinatown, which centres around Dixon Street, is a
showpiece for Chinese and Asian culture in Australia and
offers the visitor a range of outstanding restaurants which
include cuisines from Vietnam and Thailand as well as
regional varieties of Chinese cooking.
The Chinese Gardens at the northern end of Chinatown and
at the southern end of the Darling Harbour complex are a
symbol of the involvement of Chinese in Australian life.
This traditional Chinese garden, reputedly the largest of
its type outside China, is based on gardening principles
which date back to the 5th century. It is designed as a
place of peacefulness and tranquillity with miniature
mountains, lakes, waterfalls, forests and flowers. It has
been constructed so that each vantage point offers an image
of China in miniature. It is open daily from 9.30 to sunset.
Kings Cross
The most famous, or 'infamous' of all the inner city areas
is Kings Cross - Sydney's equivalent to London's Soho. In
the 1930s Kings Cross was the centre of the city's bohemian
community. This continued up to the 1960s when 'the Cross',
as it was affectionately known, was still a strange and
wonderful mixture of high class hotels, bohemians,
prostitutes, strip clubs and classy nightclubs and quality
restaurants.
Today 'the Cross' is still a tourist attraction with many
excellent hotels and fine restaurants. In the daytime the
leafy parks and tree-lined streets, the smell of coffee from
the numerous excellent coffee lounges and eateries and the
attractiveness of the El Alamein fountain are all magnets.
Victoria Street to the south of the Kings Cross tunnel has
some outstanding places to eat and its cafes offer some of
the best coffee in Sydney.
Oxford Street
Oxford Street is what Kings Cross used to be. It is the
heart of Sydney's nightlife. A wonderful strip of hotels,
nightclubs, restaurants, late night bookshops, cinemas and
coffee lounges where those people who have no trouble
partying until dawn gather, promenade and generally enjoy
themselves.
Historically the street has long been associated with the
city's large gay community. A decade ago it was an almost
exclusively gay domain with hotels like the Exchange and the
Albury being well known gay hangouts.
The Harbour Islands
There are thirteen islands on Sydney Harbour. Access to the
islands varies greatly with some - notably Glebe Island
which is now a container terminal and Garden Island which is
a naval base - being restricted to the public. The most
popular and accessible is Fort Denison, sometimes known as
'Pinchgut' or 'Rock Island', which has regular guided tours
at 10.15 a.m., 12.15 p.m.and 2.00 p.m. Tours can be booked
by contacting the Maritime Services Board on tel: 9240 2036.
The island was originally used as a place of punishment
for difficult convicts. As early as 11 February 1788 a
convict named Thomas Hill was sentenced to a week on bread
and water in irons on 'the small white rocky Island adjacent
to this Cove'. By 1796 a gibbet had been installed on the
island and convicts who were sentenced to death were left to
hang until their bones turned white. The most famous of
these was Francis Morgan who arrived in the colony on the
Sugar Cane from Ireland in 1793. He had been tried for the
murder of a man at Glassneven in Co Dublin, and was caught
wearing the murdered man's watch. Capitally convicted, his
sentence was commuted to transportation for life. After his
arrival here, he was again charged with murder, having
bashed a man named Simon Raven to death on the north side of
the harbour on 18 October 1796.
By the 1840s the colony, fearing invasion, had converted
the island into a fort and by 1857 the fort was manned and
there were two ten inch guns and twelve 32 pounders. The
guns have only been fired during ceremonies and on special
occasions.
The island offers an interesting insight into Sydney's
past and an excellent and unusual vantage point to view the
city and the harbour foreshores.

Harbour Cruises
There are over thirty cruises offered on Sydney Harbour. The
cruises depart from Circular Quay and Darling Harbour
starting from 9.30 and continuing throughout the day until
the night time cruises which leave at 20.00 and return at
around 21.30. They range from no frills, no need to book,
tours around the harbour foreshores in well-equipped
purpose-built cruise vessels to catamarans, paddle steamers,
hydrofoils, a 1902 topsail schooner named Solway Lass and a
re-creation of the sailing ship Bounty which was used in the
Mel Gibson version of Mutiny on the Bounty.
The sensible way to book is to contact the Quayside
Booking Centre either at Jetty 2 at Circular Quay (open 7.30
a.m. - 7.00 p.m.) or Shop 208 on Manly Wharf (open 10.00
a.m. - 6.00 p.m.). They are booking agents for all the major
cruise operators and they do not charge a booking fee. Both
locations are open seven days a week and can be contacted on
tel: 9247 5151.
Cruises up the Parramatta River
Most of the ferries operating on Sydney Harbour move from
one deepwater wharf across the harbour to another deepwater
wharf. For a true change of pace, and something very
different, take the RiverCat from Circular Quay to
Parramatta. This is a journey which was commonplace for the
early explorers and settlers who, without good roads,
preferred to sail west up the harbour and enter the
Parramatta River. The journey has become so popular on
weekends that, if possible, it is better to make the trip
during the week. Apart from the RiverCat, Matilda Cruises
provide a leisurely journey up the river which includes both
morning coffee and lunch. More details are available from
tel: 9264 7377.
For timetables and the best times to travel on the
RiverCat contact either the Parramatta Visitors Centre (tel:
9630 3703) or the State Transit Infoline (tel: 13 1500). It
is possible to buy a Sydney Pass for three, five or seven
days on Sydney public transport which includes journeys on
the RiverCat.
The Olympics Site
Sydney was awarded the 2000 Olympics in Monte Carlo on 23
September 1993. The games are scheduled to be held between
15 September and 1 October 2000 at a number of venues around
the city including the main Olympic complex at Homebush Bay
(all athletes will live in one village on the site - all
venues are within 30 minutes of this central site) as well
as Penrith, Ryde, Blacktown, Bondi, Darling Harbour and a
number of other venues. 10,200 athletes will visit the city
during this time and it is expected the games will be
watched by 3.5 billion people around the world. The
purpose-designed Homebush Visitors Centre has a

Unique Australian Furniture
Click on the heading above to check out a unique range of
fine pieces of Australian furniture which can be inspected
near the Olympics site at the Harvey Norman store at 250
Parramatta Road, Auburn. Australia has some superb woods and
fine materials (both wool and leather) and there are only a
few locations around the country where the products of the
Australian-based Timber Country Australia furniture can be
inspected. Timber Country use high quality Merino wool and
A1 Australian Outback Avanti dark brown leather steer hide
when they make their distinctive Walkabout rockers. They
also make foot stools and coffee tables. The timber used is
Jarrah hardwood which is strictly managed by the Australian
Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), a
board based environmental agency which protects the growth
of new trees. Jarrah is widely recognised as one of the most
beautiful and distinctive hardwoods in the world.
Vaucluse House
Vaucluse House is 10 kilometres from the city centre. Set in
gracious grounds, the original house was built in the early
years of the nineteenth century by Sir Thomas Henry Brown
Hayes, a larger-than-life character who had been transported
as a convict because he had kidnapped the woman he loved,
the daughter of a wealthy Irish banker.
The house was taken over by Captain John Piper (after
whom Point Piper was named) in 1822 and in 1827 it was
purchased by the famous explorer, William Charles Wentworth
(he was one of the trio who first crossed the Blue
Mountains) who carried out extensive renovations and
modifications and lived in the house until 1853. It is
likely that the first cabinet meeting of the newly
enfranchised government of New South Wales was held at
Vaucluse House in 1856.
It is a beautifully preserved Sydney colonial residence.
The rooms are furnished with superb pieces from the period.
Visitors can experience the luxury of the house and its
gardens and walk through the gardens to the edge of the
harbour. The grounds are open from 8.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.
daily. For more information: tel: 337 1957.
Taronga Zoo
Taronga Zoo which can be reached by either bus or ferry.
Voted the best international zoo in 1992, Taronga Zoo has
superb views over Sydney Harbour and a substantial
collection of Australian native fauna. The zoo can be
reached by ferry from Wharf 2, Circular Quay (the journey
takes 12 minutes) or by bus from the bus termini at Wynyard
or St Leonards railway stations. There are two government
transport travel passes available - the Zoopass which
combines ferry, bus and zoo admission and is available at
Circular Quay and Zoolink which includes rail, ferry, bus
and zoo admission and is available from suburban railway
stations.
