Brilliant museum for kids, so much for them to do, great on a rainy day. If you live in Sydney, then it's worth it to get a yearly membership.

John Paterakis

Generally a museum of natural history , with special focus on the wildlife of Australia. Also a strong emphasis on Aboriginal culture.

Get a copy of "The official Sydney guide" at one of the tourist information stands before you come here, it contains a discount coupon. $8 instead of $12 in my case.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is a must, every year.

The bird display is incredible!

Wear earplugs. The noise level from screaming kids reverberates and is magnified by the old walls and is deafening and inescapable.

Great surfing spot for beginners, although I would recommend Manly Beach and its regular waves. Gets crowded in summer but is definitely a place to be 30mn from the City. Bondi to Coogee is a must do - Hugo Fauquenoi
