Circular Quay
by Marpessa
A great place to walk around in summer. Yes there are heaps of tourists, but that's what makes it a lively place to be. You have the Sydney Opera House on one side, the Rocks and Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. In the middle are different kinds of ferries that will take you to almost any point in the harbour. There are quite a few street performers around the Quay with all performing different kinds of acts, some comical, some 'dangerous' (aka, with fire involved) and there was even some aboriginals performing 'tribal' dances (representing a story).

It is said that meat pies are icons or part of an original Australian symbol.

Visiting China Town: Unlike what one may think, has a mixture of, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese. It is also a place where many of the places stay open until 3 or 4 am. The food halls offer good value and during the day Yam Cha is available at nearly every restaurant for breakfast or lunch.

Clothing
by gabriellefox
Squashy duffle, not much storage space on a boat. Swimming costumes, towels , sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, reef shoes if you want to walk out at low tide, smart casual attire for dining out, your medical certificate if you are planning on learning to dive or your Dive Certificate if you want to do more advanced diving.
The weather is usually warm and balmy but evenings can get cool. So 'layer dress' - bring a lightweight jacket or cardigan, or a few extra long sleeved t-shirts or shirts so you can add extra light layers if you need to. Bring everything you are going to need with you if you have chartered a yacht. sunscreen and bottled water.
