4. Incredible canyon views, waterfall pictures and cliff edge hikes. There are a few walks to choose from that go down to or overlook the Wentworth Falls or Empress Falls at the Valley of the Waters which is a harder walk. Depending on our time and fitness levels I will recommend this walk or some easier walks in the surrounding area.

About Sydney

Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.

The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
