Things to do in Sydney - HELP!

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?

I have only ever ventured over to kensington to go to the roundhouse too...... not sure what is on that side of the city.

We would get in pretty early - about 8ish I think.

Hmmm perhaps we can push Taronga to Wednesday and spend Monday afternoon in Kensington.

Centenial Garden is close to Kensington. I used to love riding my bike round there - I'm pretty sure that you can hire bikes from somewhere nearby or horses from the stables if you're into riding. You're not to far from Bondi Junction in Kensington (there are buses between them) and there is some good shopping there. A bit further and you're at the beaches - Bronte is my favourite of the beaches but they're all nice.

Thanks Dach! I will get out a map of Sydney tonight so I can get my bearings!

Very excited DH hasn't had any time off since our wedding - and that was a year ago next week! Really looking forward to having a little break with him. We need it!

Take a float plane from Rose Bay up to the Cottage Point Inn and stay the night in one of the rooms behind the restaurant....even if you don't want to spend the night up there, then think about the plane trip for the views.... Click Here
