We have been travelling around in Australia for 9 weeks with friends from Austria and Switzerland. Today we visited the Sydney Opera House at 11:15am. The guides name was Bella. Lovely energetic young lady! It was the BEST, and only tour in the entire of Australia that my friends understood every word of the places she took us to today. Wonderful and very articulate when she speaks. Clear concise and entertaining. It was exactly one hour tour with fantastic stories, great photo opportunities, brilliant setup of lights for the illusionist and the “bumping out” and maintenance of the Joan Sutherland Theatre! Finally tour concluding with a happy ending in the Utzon Room. The building truly is remarkable inside and out with fantastic people working. Must see for all. We are glad we did this and took our friends here today! Do the tour!

Pinnacle Lookout

Reviewed By TravelTrips12 - Sydney, Australia

Quite a trek up stairs in the bush but well worth it. Signs indicate it takes 15min to walk up and I think that’s a reasonable estimate for a person with average fitness levels. Once up top, you’re greeted with 360 degree views and a wonderful cool breeze to whip off your sweat from the walk up. Well worth it.

We were told of this gallery and were fortunate enough to experience the amazing glass displays for ourselves. There are so many beautiful pieces of glasswork that you have to be in awe of the talent that produced them. If you are visiting Wagga this is a must see gallery.

Green Cape Lighthouse

Reviewed By 4_Aussies_inOz - Sydney, Australia

This was our first stop on a day trip from Eden, visiting the main local highlights by car. An easy, albeit slow, drive to the lighthouse was met with a good-sized car park and well preserved site. We took time to walk around the lighthouse, out onto Green Cape and then out and around Ly-we-moon Cemetery. This is a place to take some pretty stunning photographs - the lighthouse is quite immense, the coastline is rugged and spectacular... lots of coastal plants & wildlife too! Don’t forget to stop at City Rock and Disaster Bay Lookout - but be prepared for some real 4WD conditions to access these two locations!

Echo Point Lookout

Reviewed By ammyyyb - Terrigal, Australia

Echo Point NEEDS to be on your list when you go to The Blue Mountains. The lookout that's been created is incredible. The views are out of this world, the view of The Three Sisters is uninterrupted and breathtaking, there are walking tracks, multiple viewing platforms, what more could you want?! Being English, I loved that there is a lookout named after Queen Elizabeth! Made me feel closer to home. Get there before 9am and you can park for free. There's toilets on site and a restaurant nearby - this wasn't open when we went but from what I've seen online it looks like lovely food and the views of course would be incredible.

Leura Cascades

Reviewed By 336Chelsea - Sydney, Australia

I guess the Blue Mountains is pretty spectacular whenever you go, but the cascades are still something special. It’s a relatively easy walk from Leura, or if you are up for a challenge, walk in from Katoomba and work those legs! When done hit the high street cafes for a well earned break.
