SYDNEY BOTANICAL GARDENS - The botanical gardens are located in the CBD (downtown center).  It is a park of tropical and exotic trees. Because of the botanical gardens
you can witness flocks of bats flying overhead at sunset.  The Anzac War Memorial is also located @ the Botanical Gardens.

SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE - Harbour
Bridge was built in 1932. At 503 meters
it was the longest single span bridge in
the world when it was built.  There is a
$2 toll on the bridge for motorists
(payable only when heading south) but
it is free for pedestrians and bicyclists.

For a whole lot of money ($150-$260)
you can also walk atop the bridge to the
other side, which I am sure provides
some amazing views.
