On Saturday I'm flying to Cairns to stay for a week and then I'm going to spend a few days in Sydney before I return. Anything I should be sure to see?

You could pop in on a few TBers. |

Sydney is an OK place, too big for me, but Taronga zoo is a must visit, so is The Rocks and of course go for a sail on the harbour if you can. Centre Point tower is cool i guess, if you like tall (by our standards) buildings. But i reckon the 2 best things about Australia is the weather and the people. Oh i nearly forgot, while in Cairns you MUST go scuba/snorkelling on the great barrier reef, apparently it isn't going to be around for that much longer.

Dont judge 'Nulla for that one incident, it has a lot to offer.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Brisbane, Australia | | | Aye, but cronulla always scores low on intollerance tests, i was abused 3 times by rednecks when i was there and i'm as okker as they come. Apparently i'm just 'as bad as them' by hanging around my bangladeshy mates when we went for a read trip to Sydney. It might be a nice place, but the people do suck muchly.
