Trading Hours
by islandhopping
One of the most important thing that travellers to Sydney should remember is that after 6pm things tend to close down. The general trading hours are between 9am and 6pm for retail shops/malls/shopping centres. Banks open at 9/9:30am and close at 4:30/5pm. So whatever your planning to do in Sydney, it is always good to check the opening/closing times. Off course there are exceptions to this rule. Some places will stay open longer and Thursday is late night shopping day where things will close around 9pm. So if hanging out in a pub/club is not for you, the choice of activities after dark can be limited.

There are so many things to choose from, but one that I always recommend is a visit to the Paddington Market on Oxford Street(not to be confused with Paddy's Market). The market is on Saturdays (between 10am and 4pm)and is filled with locally made clothing, jewellery, furniture, just all sorts of stuff. Nothing cheesy! There was also live entertainment and great food (try the 'glory rolls'). The friendly and laid back nature of the Australian people and the cleanliness and excitement of Sydney.
Bondi
by beachboy
Bondi, the most well known Sydney's city beach, is located at the eastern suburb of the city. The beach is roughly 1 km long, enclosed by north and south headlands. Away from the beach there are numerous cafes and restaurants, as well as hostels, hotels, a great variety of shops, and even a small golf course. If you're lucky, you may bump into Hollywood's celebrities sun bathing on the beach.

The Town Hall contains an 8000-pipe organ and is one of the largest in the world. Free lunchtime concerts featuring the mighty organ are held regularly. See for more pictures in the
