Message: [QUOTE="Jasper Husky, post: 5298415, member: 4364"] We spent a Christmas and New Year there visiting my GF's daughter who was teaching there for a year, including seeing the fireworks over the Sydney Bridge on NY's from above the Opera House and had a great time. Some additional suggestions: 1.Climb the Sydney Bridge - good story to come home with and much less scary than I expected as you are all harnessed up and some pretty spectacular views. 2. Side trip to "The Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation located in the southern part of the Northern Territory in Australia. It is a sacred site for the Aboriginal people." 3. The seas were too rough to go to the Reef so we tooled around Port Douglas area. 4. Boat ride around Sydney Harbor. 5. Bondi beach My GF's daughter has spent time in NZ on several occasions and loved it. However, prepare yourself for the long plane ride. The second leg from LA to Sydney took something like 15 hours. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
