A MUST visit when going to Australia and a great starting point to the trip. Give yourself at least 2-3 full days for the city, then additional days for excursions beyond the bustle.
Accommodation: Staying close to circular key or Darling Harbor is ideal if you're visiting the city. Public transport is GREAT in Sydney so you can easily hop on and off the train as well as taking the ferry.
In the heart of the CBD this hotel is perfect for a couple nights in the city. You can walk everywhere and easily hop on the train to get to other suburbs.

Spend the day further south in Cronulla Beach! This is where i grew up, about an hour south of Sydney. You can take the train here. Walk all along the board walk to Salmon Haul and hangout in the Bay by Darook Park
