One week in Sydney and one week in Melbourne...

So I thought I'd share itineraries (and a couple of thoughts) about things to do in Melbourne and Sydney, inspired by the itineraries I used for my family when they came to Australia. Use these if you wish!

SYDNEY

Day 1 : Explore area where the hotel is. Enjoy some of the food!
Day 4 : 1 day trip to Sydney Harbour, taking in the Opera House and the bridge. Go to whatever show is on there!
Day 5 : Sydney zoo - https://taronga.org.au/taronga-zoo
Day 6 : Explore Darling Harbour, Botanic Gardens and whatever art museums you like
Day 7 : Blue Mountains.

Do Blue Mountains on a Sunday - it takes a while to get to, but transport is maximum $2.50 on a Sunday.
Do a sporting event on a Saturday.

MELBOURNE

Day 1 : Explore area where the hotel is. Enjoy some of the food!
Day 2 : Take a free city sightseeing walk. They are either in the morning or in the afternoon.
Day 3 : 1 day Great Ocean Road tour. I used Melbourne Coastal Tours - which went well.
Day 4 : 1 day Philip Island tour. I used Little Penguin Bus, this was probably the highlight of the trip.
Day 5 : Neighbours tour. Only do this if you're a diehard fan, it was really pretty poor. Not really engaging (watching a DVD isn't really what you want) and the street is quite disappointing.
Day 6 : Heide museum, it's a lovely day out and has lots of grass. OR Scienceworks for the science in you
Day 7 : Shopping at DFO, South Wharf (for factory prices).

Enjoy!
