Sydney, Australia Day Trip
Ashley aka The Wanderlust Gourmet
Available for hire
G'Day and
Originally I scheduled the hop-on-hop-off bus tour to take me around the city but they were disorganized and the schedule was unreliable so I chose to Uber to a few places on my list. It was more economical and I enjoyed walking around a few districts in Sydney. I had a full day of shopping/eating/animal watching and sightseeing. Plenty of varied activities in this guide. Tips if you are arriving via cruise.

King Street Wharf
@Thewanderlustgourmet
This is a great place to stretch your legs and walk. Right on the water, plenty of restaurants, shops, and yacht's. Great loop and ends at the Wildlife Zoo and the Wax Museum. I ate breakfast and lunch here. Tagged below.

The Rocks
@Thewanderlustgourmet
The Rocks is a great little district in Sydney. Full of shops, restaurants, cobblestone streets and mixes of architecture.

Circular Quay
@Thewanderlustgourmet
If you arrive via ship you dock here. It's a great neighborhood to walk, full of restaurants, museums, very cool shops, and of course currency exchange and lots of ice cream shops. My suggestion is to end your day in this neighborhood and then you are walking distance back to your ship.

Tips:
*First thing you will notice (that I missed the first time!) is the currency. Australia does not accept New Zealand Dollars. If you dock in Circular Quay there is a Crown Currency Exchange right in the building.
*If you are arriving by ship half of the ship will be disembarking at this port. Be prepared to go through customs as you leave the ship and when you board again. Check the customs site linked so you are aware of what you can bring into Sydney and back on board.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hello! I'm Ashley also known as "The Wanderlust Gourmet." I've been planning travel and putting pins on maps since childhood. I've lived in 5 states and have been to all 50 🇺🇸. I've been to 3/7 continents and I'm halfway through the Canadian provinces 🇨🇦. Nothing excites me more than finding new spots to explore. I find a blend of local specialties, hidden gems, history, coffee, cupcakes, spas, cocktails, and of course amazing food wherever I wander. I enjoy road trips, flying, cruising, hiking, and staycationing equally. My trips will always be a blend of activities and options for everyone but all trips will have gourmet food and plenty of helpful tips.
Please follow me on Instagram to see my latest pics, guides and delicious food finds. Please contact me for personalized travel or collaboration opportunities 📬.
May many blessings be with you wherever you roam and guide you back safely to family and home 💚....and always take the scenic route....
