Highlights

Chill out in Sydney

With its stunning natural beauty, meandering waterways and mild climate, Sydney is an easy city to relax in. Wander along the beach at Manly or Bondi, follow a coastal trail such as the Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk or catch ferry across the harbour and explore Sydney Harbour National Park. You don't have to head indoors to chill out in Sydney.  

Aboriginal art and tours in Sydney

In Sydney, you’ll find many opportunities to uncover the living culture of one of the world’s oldest societies.

On a Tribal Warrior cruise, you’ll enjoy the best of a Sydney Harbour cruise while gaining insights into Aboriginal culture and history. The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney has a unique Aboriginal heritage tour conducted by an Aboriginal guide who explains how native plants are used for bush foods and medicine.

At the Australian Museum you’ll see rare cultural artefacts that include boomerangs, didgeridoos, baskets and ceremonial pieces. Check out when Bangarra Dance Theatre is performing – it’s Australia’s only indigenous dance company. And find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the best Aboriginal artists at Yiribana at the Art Gallery of NSW.
