Q: Keep in mind, we don't want to go too far to take a whole day to travel. Also, does anyone have suggestions on places not to miss in or around Sydney? I'll be there at the end of May. Thanks!
A: Sydney is situated on one of the most beautiful harbours in the world and you could easily spend two days just riding around on its many ferries. Take one to Manly and walk down to one of Australia's famous surf beaches (it will be too cold to swim at the end of May). You can also go by ferry to Taronga Zoo where you will see our unique wildlife. Special zoo tours are available on which you can feed kangaroos and koalas. You can also go up market and take one of the many privately run harbour cruises if you're not inclined to travel on commuter ferries. http://www.sydney.com.au has heaps of ideas for day trips. Enjoy your stay.
