There’s so much to see, learn, and explore in Sydney. Your best bet is to give yourself a few days in the city to really get a sense of it. But, if you only have one day (or maybe two) these would be my top picks for you to explore.

Perth (or by its Indigenous name: Boorloo) is the capital of the vast state known as Western Australia. It is very much an up and coming city – from trendy new restaurants to exciting tourism activities. The city is your gateway to this large state and it’s well worth spending a day or two here.

When many of us think of great Australian beaches, Bondi is certainly in the top 3. Thanks to a friend and a few TikToks, I discovered the beauty that is Manly beach in Sydney. I think you should do the same.

If you’re looking for deliciously-prepared, fresh seafood then look no further than Garfish at Manly Harbour in Australia. This popular Sydney restaurant is an absolute must-visit when in Manly or even just Sydney.

Each of the desserts were divine – the flavours in the description all shone out but were beautifully balanced. The Koi team have a knack for mixing delightful flavours that hit different parts of your mouth at just the right time.
