In episode 8, I talk about my recommendation on how to spend your first day in Sydney.
Although it is quite touristy, I recommend spending some time on a bus tour of Sydney. The Sydney Buses “Sydney Explorer” is a very convenient and cost effective tour. It’s easy to arrange, and a good way to get “oriented” to the layout of the city.
A pretty unique alternative is a “hop on, hop off” harbor cruise tour of the city and harbor.
We also talk about some of the options for getting to and from Sydney Airport when you first arrive. Although there are a few options, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Driving in Australia
Driving in Australia is quite safe, but it is important that any overseas visitor understands the simple precautions and differences to driving elsewhere.
In Episode 7 of The Sydney Visitor, we talk about when you would want to drive avehicle in Sydney, and when you are better off relying on Public Transport.
