I have been blessed having a generous boss. We will be having our company outing this August in Sydney. I am so excited. Though I still don't have my visa yet. I hope everything will go well. Can you give me some tips about Sydney. What can I do there for 4 days? It is just a short trip but I will make the most out of it.

I have never been to Sydney, but when I travel I check online the place where I am going so that I can choose a bit what to do according to my interests. We will be waiting foe your posts when you come back telling us everything. Take care!

Thanks for the greeting! I usually do the research ahead of time. But I am looking for the little places or joints that the locals enjoy. I leave the tourist spots to my colleagues. They will arrange the itinerary for the whole group. What I am after is what I can do after the tours. Where to eat, dine, watch or just have some fun.

Sydney is a great place! So green with many bays full of boats on them! Make sure you visit some of the beaches and I hope you have a good time there! Do visit the Taronga Park Zoo as it is very interesting, with a chance to see kangaroos and koalas!

I will definitely not miss the chance to have my picture taken with the kangaroos and koalas. hahaha... That will complete my trip. I would love to try their beaches but I know August is their winter month. So I would rather skip it...hehehe...

Wow my friend. That is my favorite city in the world. I went there when I was aged 20 to 21 years old. In four days you could visit my favorite sights and experiences perhaps. So begin on day one at the Sydney Harbor Bridge, Opera House and the Botanical Gardens. On day two get a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly or to Watson's Bay. If you do that you will be able to walk along the coast from Watson's Bay to South Foreland. You might be able to fit in a swim at Shark Bay. Don't worry it has a protective net. On day three you could walk around the historical Rocks Area and see Darling Harbor. On your last day you could so some souvenir shopping and have a look at historical Paddington. Good luck with your trip to Australia for four days.

Hello friend. I am so happy for you to have such a generous boss that you are offered another free trip abroad to Sydney. I am sure that you will have so much to see there in Sydney like the famous Sydney Opera. It seems that working in a company is more fun than working in a school. Good luck to you.

about the visa processing, if it's a company outing, wouldn't it be faster if the company had them all processed in bulk than you doing it individually? but then august is till a way off so there's plenty of time.
august would be winter there, right, but then you've probably traveled to cold countries so you already know what to pack. one site i looked at mentions sydney design week being held in august and dropping by the botanical gardens.
you'll probably buy koalas and kangaroos as souvenirs.

I can suggest you to hire a campervans in nominal range which will provide all needed and well equipped services and follow the roads of Sydney. You can opt which having many options to choose in an easy way.
