Sydney Australia

[Troy]

My employer is sending my back to the other side of the world again but this time they decided I needed to stay a few extra days and meet (ie "train") some other employees in Sydney. I'll be in Melbourne (again) for part of the last week of January then hop on a plane to Sydney Friday night - which means I'll actually have a whole weekend (for once!) to do touristy stuff before working Monday-Wednesday. It's a short trip but definitely better than the original plan which was 80 hours of travel to spend 3 days in Melbourne. When I go back in May it will be strictly Melbourne so this is probably my one shot to see something else.

What can I get myself into?

lots ,  stroll around china town, the rocks ,   circular key ,catch a ferry  to Taronga zoo, you  get to see the city/opera house /harbour bridge   from the harbour(the best in the world )  and see one of our really good zoo's . that's a day trip from the centre of Sydney , depends where your staying. if out of Sydney catch a train to central station and go from there  .

someone from Sydney can give you more info ,I know we've got a few members from there   

can't guarantee weather its wet one day and 40*C the next   

  hope the sun shines for you    phil

You could do the bridge walk on the coat hanger.

If you can I would also check out Aussie Muscle Car Sales and check out some of the rare Aussie and American muscle cars.

Definitely do the bridge walk,wort every penny and try to see the Opera house at sunset as well,just beautiful!
I worked and travelled 8 months in Australia,what an amazing country and people!!!
Wish I could go back but plane tickets for 3 people and accommodation would break my bank.

Well, work covers everything that's directly related to work (travel, hotel, meals, etc.). Sometimes I can add a few days to either end of a trip for "vacation" and then I only have to pay for those out of pocket. The biggest expense is the plane tickets! The nice part about this trip is getting there a day early AND I actually have a whole weekend in the middle where I don't have to actually work (usually we work the entire time - nights, weekends, etc. - and travel on the weekend). I've been checking the social calendars. Most of the things are stuff my parents would enjoy.
