    I think its $35 ... i use the blue ones so I am not 100%..... but the red one doesnt cover the airport train line (if that is why you wanted the train).

    Sounds like all you will need is the blue one. (and a taxi to/from the airport).

    Check out the roar and snore packages at the zoo... not sure if they do weekdays though........ you will love it!

    If you're in Chinatown have Yum-Cha for breafast.
    I always take my OS visitors to Bondi for fish and chips by the beach.
    The bridge climb if you're not scared of heights.
    5f you drink a pub crawl through The Rocks gives you a chance to look at some historic sites. Lots of the pubs around there have a story - The Fortune Of War used to be used for press-ganging sailors. They'd go for a drink and wake up at sea (poor things).
    If you want to act like kids have a play in the water features in Darling Harbour.

    Do the bridge climb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its great views

    A captain cook dinner cruise is nice also we did one a few years ago.

    The sydney tower walk on outside is good also but bridge is better.

    DH proposed to me on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge!! We also did the Tower Walk last year when we were Sydney at the end of our honeymoon.

    A pub crawl at The Rocks sounds fantastic - will put that one on my list. Yum Cha for breakfast??!!

    Roar and Snore looks awsome - a bit exy though.

    Yum Cha is a Chinese breakfast.
    You sit down and they wheel trolleys full of yummy food (dim sum) past your table and you pick the ones that you like. Each time you get one the server puts a stamp on your bill then they add it up at the end. I'm not sure how but the more people you have the cheaper it works out even though you eat just as much.
    East Ocean (in the Chinatown mall) and Marigold are my pick of the Yum-Cha restaurants.
    My favourite dishes are the steamed prawn dumplings and the steamed chinese spinach with the black sauce.
    There's no agonising over the menu or waiting for your meal and each plate only has about 4 things on it so you can try heaps of things.

    Dach that sounds so delicious! I've written those restaurants down - YUM YUM YUM

    So I think Monday will be spent on the Ferries (Manly, Watsons Bay, and a half day at Taronga then the concert)
    Tuesday will be Haymarket, RBG/Government House, Circular Quay and The Rocks
    Wednesday - NO IDEA!!!

    The concert I'm going to is in Kensington - is there anything fun to do there (apart from shop at Peter's) or good places to eat?
