Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

Funny, we have often walked down Grosvenor Street and yet we never noticed St. Patrick's. That was our loss. A beautiful 1840s built church which is well worth a visit - whether you are religious or not. The Altar, windows, statues, especially that of St. Patrick are beautiful. We will pay another visit, as when we visited this time preparations were made for mass and we did not want to impose by wandering around.

St. James Church is located in a central part of the city of Sydney, amongst legal and commercial buildings. It is a significant part of the city as it is the oldest surviving building in the area, having been built in 1824. It is a lovely church and part of the history of Sydney,and is worth a look if you happen to be passing by.

St Stephen's Uniting Church in the city, is a safe place and all activities are to be in line with the ethos of the Uniting Church in Australia. The Uniting church seeks to give contemporary expression to the ancient Christian tradition in ways that bring God's life and hope to communities and individuals. Our present building was built in 1935 and is a Heritage Listed building, interior and exterior, under the National Trust of NSW. Join us for worship on Sundays at 10am and stay for refreshments.
This beautiful church was built 1935-1937. It is as beautiful inside as outside with stain glass windows. There was an organ recital on the day I visited. It was originally Stephens Presbyterian Church but became the Uniting church when merged in 1977. St Stephen's Presbyterian church was founded in 1842 In 1855 the congregation imported a prefabricated Iron Church where the State Library now is/ The name St Stephen's was taken from the St Stephen's Chapel in Britain.It is on the State heritage Register

From the outside this delightful sandstone church is almost understated in architecture and is set in a very beautiful old part of Sydney. The Rocks and Sydney Observatory are very close by. I recommended the length of stay in the box below as under 1 hour but honestly, I think you should spend 2 or 3 hours walking around this very historic part of Sydney and the church. Once you walk inside, it is simply sublime, I went on a Friday because I wanted to sketch for an international sketching group that I am part of and Craig, the minister very kindly opened up for me, I spent 5 hours inside, the ambience is so calming, although if you went on a weekend it is much busier, or there might be a wedding.
