I am going to Sydney to visit many of the Australia's famous landmarks, urban parks and botanic gardens, museums, market, and learning about its politics
As well as lots of off the beaten path attractions
and ending the visit by take a breathtaking nature walk at Blue Mountain
and stargazing Sydney's night sky
Not to forget, fuelling up with lots of inexpensive and tasty food
All free, all under four days
anything I can do, you can do!
Located on Australia's east coast
Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in the South Pacific
Founded in 1788 and led by Captain Arthur Philip as a British penal colony until mid-19 century
The city has transformed into a major global cultural and economic center with an estimated population of 4.9 million
and consistently rank as one of world's most livable cities
The Sydney International Airport is located around 9 km south of the City centre
Although there is public trains to Central Station, there is a Airport Terminal Station Access Fees
So here is a budget alternative
So I am in the Sydney Airport right now
I recommend you come to terminal 1 or 3
and from here you can take the public bus number 400
This #400 Bondi Junction bus will drop you off at the Mascot suburban rail station
where you can catch a train to Central Station
and within very few stops you'll arrive here at Central
and most likely you'll be exiting out on this corridor to George Street
and its also a good time for me to welcome you to Sydney!
The central station is Sydney's land transportation hub
this is where you can catch buses and trains to and from other Australian cities
This is small inner-city suburb called Chippendale
and where I recommend you stay as it is walking distance to many attractions
Welcome to Casa Central!
I want to take a moment to thank my host Casa Central Accommodations for providing me with complimentary bed during the filming of Sydney
They offers clean and comfortable private and dorm rooms at affordable prices
Best of all, its only few minutes walk from Central Station and The Goods Line, and next to newly developed, the Central Park
And… Free self-serve laundries!!!
Our first attractions is the Chinatown
located in Haymarket, between the Central Station and Darling Harbour
It is Australia's largest Chinatown
initially it was located in Rocks area of Sydney
later moved to Market Street and finally the current site since 1920s
This is also home to the famous Paddy's Market
It is a flea market, specializing in cheap imported clothes, giftware
and this is where you can pick some bargain for tourist souvenirs
There is also has a small section for you pick up some fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood…
oh yeah, you get FREE SAMPLES in lots of stalls
The Chinatown is also great place for inexpensive food
most nobly the Asian traditional pastries
But, if you really… need to fully filled up
go to the Eating World food court and you grab full meals for about $8 to $10
a bargain by Australian standards
However
if you love seafood… You'll love the Sydney Fish Market
If you like seafood, you definitely have to come here
this is the world second largest fish market after Tokyo
it's where the trader come 4:30 every morning to do their bidding
and to the public you can sample the fresh cut seafood inside many of the shops inside there
with that being said, let's go and check it out!
The Sydney Fish Market incorporates a working fishing port
a wholesale fish market
a fresh seafood retail market
a seafood cooking school
and indoor seating and an outdoor promenade for the visitors
Before you start to smell too fishy
let's head over to Darling Harbour and get some nice shot of Sydney skyline
It is also a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the city centre
Originally known as Long Cove
it was renamed after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling
who was the Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831
Today, its home to a number of major public facilities and attractions
including the Australian Maritime Museum
On the way to the next site, we'll also pass by Town Hall
the seat of municipal council for Sydney
Our destination is the Queen Victoria Building, constructed between 1893 and 1898
The building, on the "scale of a cathedral" was designed by the Scottish architect George McRae
who had emigrated to Sydney in 1884 during a building boom
In 1897, the building was renamed to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria
Today, the building consists of four main shopping floors
The ceiling is decorated with two mechanical clocks
each one featuring dioramas and moving figures from moments in history
On our way to the Hyde Park, we can see the Sydney Tower nearby
However, its little too expensive
But I am going to show you an inexpensive alternative later
Also located in the city centre, the Hyde Park
the oldest parkland in Australia
It's surrounded with many of Sydney's famous landmarks
From the very early days of the colony
this open area became the favourite place for sport and recreation
It was known variously as 'The Common'
the 'Exercising Ground'
the 'Cricket Ground'
and the 'Race Course
Now, if you are short in time
what I recommend you go down to ANZAC War Memorial
and walk all the way upward
and you'll see many of the landmark along the way
and this is the Hyde Park
and behind me is the St. Mary's Cathedral
another landmark here in Sydney
and if you keep going that way
there is the Royal Sydney Mint
and right beside it is the Sydney Hospital
and right beside that is the State Parliament
and if you keep going that way
you'll reach the Botanic Gardens
and if you keep going you'll bump into the Opera House
The St Mary's Cathedral is church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese and the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney
The first cathedral was founded in 1821 but ruined by fire in 1865
The foundation stone for the current cathedral was laid by Archbishop Polding in 1868
whom did not live to see it in use, as he died in 1877
Just few minutes away, we'll visit the Sydney Mint to grab some spare change
it's a free attractions
Located in the southern wing of the Sydney Hospital
built between 1811 and 1816 paid with 45,000 gallons of rum to the contractors
then known as the Rum Hospital
It's the oldest public building in the Central Business District
The building was used as a coining factory between 1855 to 1926 after the British approved the colonial government request to establish a mint in Sydney
which was to be the first branch of the Royal Mint outside England
After the mint operation creased, the building was used by various government departments
Gradually these buildings were planned for demolition until activists successfully led a campaign in 1979 to preserve it
Right next door is the Parliament House for the State of New South Wales
The facade consists of a two story Georgian building
flanked by two Neo-gothic additions containing the parliamentary chambers
That is the Speaker's Chair here in the Parliament of New South Wales
The Parliament of New South Wales is the main legislative body in the State and oldest legislature in Australia
The parliament is bicameral
with the lower house being the Legislative Assembly, and an upper house being the Legislative Council
both directly elected by the people of the state in general elections every four years
Also right beside the Parliament House is the State Library
but we'll catch up on my reading later as we'll head over to the Art Gallery of New South Wales
