Sydney
Tower has an observation deck 305 metres high, and also
a restaurant if you feel up to it. It is in the Centrepoint
Complex, market street and is open between 9.00am - 10.30pm
(11.30pm on Saturday). On the ground there are wonderful
views from Mrs Macquaries Point, Observatory Hill, Millers
Point, or Blues Point reserve or Bradleys Head on the North
Shore.

The oldest
Cathedral in Australia is in Sydney. St. Andrews Cathedral
is an Anglican Cathedral built in around 1874, the year
that the Town Hall was built.
The Town Hall
has a remarkable exterior and just as splendid interior,
and so is well worth visiting. Just hop off the train
at Town Hall, and you will easily find it.

Sydney
also hosts a number of different architectural styles. In
the centre you can find the Victorian 'Marble Bar', which
is situated opposite the attractive Queen Victoria Building.

Theatre.

Martin
Place is a key runner in the pole for the heart of the city. The
pedestrian mall stretches from Macquarie Street to George
Street, with plenty more to see other than shops. This includes
a Cenotaph to commemorate the War, an amphitheatre and monumental
financial buildings. Many of the buildings along Macquarie Street
were commissioned by Lachlan Macquarie, realised by convict/architect
Francis Greenway. There are also plenty of public buildings well
worth seeing.

A
great way to see Sydney is to hop on the informative Sydney
Explorer Bus, or alternatively join one of the
wonderful Sydney walking tours. There are
also a number of Aboriginal tours around Sydney by Sydney
Aboriginal Discoveries, where you can find out about the
history of Aborigines in Sydney and Australia.
