Spent six, fantastic days in Sydney.  Worth visiting, even if only to view arguably the world's most beautiful harbor (Port Jackson, or "Sydney Harbor"), bridge (Sydney Harbor Bridge), and architectural icon (Sydney Opera House).  What is more, you can do all three at the same time.

Highlights:

Lounging and swimming on Manley Beach.

Visiting Taronga Zoo, which has to have the best view of any zoo in the world.
