Until now, the best way to experience the
architecture wonders of Jorn Utzon is to attend a performance under 67m sails
of the Opera House, where often holds the Sydney Symphony, Bangarra Dance
Theatre and Australian Ballet concerts, and even welcomed Stephen Fry and Oprah
Winfrey. Or, sign up one tour and visit the theater, the opera house and the
famous concert hall with 2,690 seats (the tour costs from $29.50; www.sydneyoperahouse.com). You are promised a
great dinner at Guillaume at Bennelong in southern area (www.guillaumeatbennelong.com.au),
while the Opera Bar next to it is a great place to soak in the local scene. In
the front, Macquarie road has many colonial buildings - Parliament Building,
Royal Mint and Hyde Park Barracks and around the corner, the Royal Botanic
Gardens has precious and rare Australian plants. See if you can identify one
Wollemi pine form the dinosaur era or not, let's look at the trees near the
café to see hundreds of bats that the city government has resettled them over
years, although they did not succeed (www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au)

Taronga zoo
Sydney's giraffes not only own the best
real estate of the city but also own some of the most beautiful sunset views
from across the harbor at Taronga zoo. In the zoo (I do not like it much),
Taronga is an interesting place, both in terms of the arrangement of living
cretures in Bradley cape, where there are rich landscape and support for
conservation, education and nurturing animal at risk programs (Australian sea
lions and small penguins).

It's best to come here early (avoid
weekends) and go ahead to the Australian animal populations, where everything
appears. First of all, the marsupials beside kangaroo, and many relatives of
kangaroo cause you headache - these marsupials belong to Macropodidae and
kangaroo in the hills of Australia, tree kangraroo, rat kangaroo, potoroo and
bettong. These marsupials also include koala and opossum, marsupial in
Tasmania, and wild cat, numbat or ant-eating animal, big-ear kangaroo, and
small bilby, the Wombat grass-eating wombat and marsupial mole. I will not
bother you with the strange mammals which lay eggs - the platypus and echidna -
or big kookaburra of Australia, the flightless ostrich and other birds live on
the ground, the master of imitation can mimic the voice of 20 kinds of bird,
even the sound of camera shutter, car alarm and the sound of chainsaw. They are
not the same kind. The event includes Free-Flight Bird Show and Seal Show. You
can also register the event "ultimate sleepover, Roar & Snore" of
Sydney, where you can spend the night and wake up by the sound and sight of the
Opera House. Opening daily at 9 am to 5 pm; adult ticket is $44, ticket for
children over 4 years old is $22; www.taronga.org.au

Beer to Sydney people
Be the world's 5th highest beer consumption
per capita, seems this young colony developed on rum. Wine has caused
widespread drunk so that beer is advertised as a better choice. Australians
love to drink beer outdoor are endless, there is no outdoor party without
barrels of beer (375ml short beer bottles), while many pubs have beer drinking
style like Bravaria garden. The Australian brewery has produced soft beers,
wine and stout let's try Tooheys, Hahn, James Boag's, James Squire, XXXX,
Coopers, Carlton, Cascade, Swan, Emu & Little Creatures. Pub culture (in
English - Irish is "public house") is lively and interesting, many
Sydney people go to the local pub or bar in the city every day of the week.
