Australia is not a hop, skip and a jump away for anyone really; it sits secluded mostly in the Pacific and Indian oceans. A flight from L.A. to Sydney can takes about 15 hours, which is a long time to be sitting in a confined space. There are other hassles like jetlag, being unfamiliar with the culture and your surroundings, and having to convert cash to make meal, entertainment and other activity purchases. In reality though these are all just minor problems, after all you can sleep off jetlag, need not worry about Australians being unfriendly, and can always use a currency converter calculator. If given the opportunity you should never pass up a trip to Sydney , Australia . It will be the trip of a lifetime with so much to do and see in beautiful Sydney .

Beaches

Bronte Beach Sydney

There is something for everyone in Sydney . This city boasts some of the best beaches, memorable entertainment and unforgettable history. If you are planning a trip to Sydney then you will have to hit the beach. There are many to pick from such as Palm Beach and Bondi Beach . Depending on what you are looking for will most likely determine which beach you go to. For example, if you are not a fan of crowds, stay away from Bondi Beach . The water at Bondi is like bath water, but the beach is usually covered with people and trash by midday. Other beaches to consider are Bronte Beach , Balmoral Beach and Avalon Beach . All of which have upsides and downsides.

However, there is more to Sydney than beautiful, popular beaches. When in Australia you must visit the Sydney Opera House for a most memorable experience. Be prepared for a fabulous sunset view, fine dining and music. Taking a tour of this beautiful landmark is also recommended.

Wildlife

Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney

It is also a must to explore Australian nature and wildlife while visiting Sydney . A trip to the Royal Botanic Gardens is always a good place to start. You will experience incredible views of Sydney Harbor and luscious greenery. The Royal Botanic Gardens include the Sydney Tropical Centre including the Pyramid Glasshouse, the Herb Garden , the Fernery, the Rose Garden, Succulent Garden , and the Oriental Garden . While you might see a cockatoo at the gardens, you can see a lot more animals at the Taronga Zoo, which was built in 1984. The zoo continues to make improvements and updates, and now features an Asian Rainforest. This is a great visit for anyone, but will be especially memorable if you bring the whole family. However, if it is native animals you want to see, be sure to visit Featherdale Wildlife Park , which has the largest number of native Australian animals. Once you enter the bush you will see koalas, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, emus, dingoes, crocodiles, Tasmanian devils, and fairy penguins. The kids will be sure to love this as much as they would the zoo.

No matter what you do when in Sydney you will be sure to have a great and memorable time. You will probably like it enough to want to return despite the long flight
