5 Day Sydney Itinerary
Just posting my Sydney and Melbourne Itinerary which you can completely switch around. I could have gone around more but I also factored in visits to family and friends. The details as well as the stories will be found in a separate post. |

I flew to Sydney via Cebu Pacific. I took a red eye flight which was perfect as I had 8 hours to sleep and I can go around Sydney as soon as we arrive at 10am.
