Things to Do in Sydney 

• Get off the tourist trail in Sydney and visit Shark Island. It produces some of the heaviest waves in the world and attracts die-hard surfers and bodyboarders. If you aren't brave enough to hit the surf, pack a picnic and watch surfers tackle the waves.
• No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Make sure you schedule some time before you head home on your Sydney to Adelaide flights for these bucket-list activities.
• Want to escape the city for a few hours? Head to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. Spend an afternoon wandering around and immerse yourself in the stunning scenery and plant life.
• Visit Sydney's Bondi and Palm Beaches. If you've always wanted to learn how to surf, there's no better place to start. But if that's not your scene, you can work on your tan or enjoy a cocktail at one of the nearby beach bars.
