I did not climb up the Harbor Bridge, but it is an impressive site. Attended a performance of "The Magic Flute" at the Sydney Opera House. It was an excellent production.We took a harbor cruise where there is a stop at the Tangara Zoo. It's a nice zoo, and it's up on a hill so you get a wonderful view of the Sydney skyline. It was the only place I got to see koala bears. They're hard to see in the wild in that part of Australia.I didn't get to spend as much time there as I would have liked to. It's definitely on my list of places I want to return to. I loved Sydney. I did not climb up the Harbor Bridge, but it is an impressive site.

As local I can tell you that the best times to visit Sydney are either mid September to mid December which covers most of Spring and the beginning of Summer or alternatively March to mid May which covers most of Autumn (Fall).There are LOADS of restaurants / cafes in Sydney!!!! Three of my favourite restaurants are: * 'Yellow Bistro & Food Store' - 57 Macleay St, Potts Point - http://yourrestaurants.com.au/guide/?action=venue&venue_url=yellow_bistro_and_food_store * 'The Nepalese Kitchen' – 481 Crown Street, Surry Hills - http://yourrestaurants.com.au/guide/the_nepalese_kitchen/ * 'Thai Patong' In Newtown – 294 King Street, Newtown - http://www.thaipothong.com.au/Now....... who's been to Paris?? Tell me EVERYTHING! :) Flights are cheap at the moment so now would be a great time to book.

Even though i've been here for 16 years I am still impressed with the superb vista which is the harbour, the bridge and the opera house. For visitors, do get to the beaches (not necessarily the traditional Bondi) and especially visit the majestic Blue Mountains. Good summary of my home town.

The view must be amazing from there!@Tamara, I've heard that Leichhardt, often called Little Italy, has good restaurants. Apparently you can walk or take bus 301, 302, or 306 from circular quay.
