🇦🇺 Sydney Travel Diary

"Three days of koalas, sunsets & seafood raids—Sydney stole my heart!" 💙 ☁️ Weather 17°C = hoodie + jacket perfection. 🚃 Transport 💳 Opal card: $40 AUD exactly covered 3 days of trains/buses/ferries. 📍 Highlights 1️⃣ Taronga Zoo 🦒 Must-do: Koala photo ($15, no touching but super close!). Pro tip: Book animal encounters in advance (sells out!). Best view: Giraffe platform = Opera House skyline shots. 2️⃣ Observatory Hill Park 🌇 🌄 Sunset sprint from Circular Quay (steep but worth it!). 📸 Pink-purple skies + cityscape = Instagram gold. 3️⃣ Bondi Beach 🏖️ 🚌 Train to Bondi Junction → Bus 333. 💙 Turquoise water = instant calm (but pack a windbreaker!). 4️⃣ Fish Market 🦞 🦀 Cheesy king crab legs + fatty salmon = food coma. ⚠️ Seagull alert: They stole my tuna mid-bite! 🛍️ Shopping Hits & Misses ✔ Lululemon: Cheaper than China (but no crazy discounts). ✔ Ralph Lauren: Good sweater selection. ✔ UGG: Australian prices = win. ✖ Arcteryx: Only dark colors in winter. 📸 Polaroid Mini 12: $108 AUD at airport (steal!). #SydneyDiaries #TarongaZoo #BondiBeach #SeafoodLover ✨
