Hello everybody, we are young group pf students and are planning to visit Australia. The places that we have got listed are Sydney, Queensland and Brisbane. There is scope for more places as well and we are just preparing our schedule. I am here to take suggestions on as to what are the places worth seeing and how about the staying there? I would like to have any useful suggestions that might come on the way.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are lots of places worth a visit.
When are you going to be over there and for how long ?
Are you renting a car, travelling by bus or are you able to take low cost flights from one place to another ?

How long will you be staying?

The city of Sydney offers plenty of sites to visit. Some are infamous, like the Sydney Opera House, but there are many other exciting places awaiting your discovery.
Darling Harbour

Close to Sydney's CBD (Central Business District), this beautiful harbour features outdoor restaurants, the Chineses Garden of Friendship, Sydney Aquarium and the Sydney Wildlife World. Accessible by bus, train or the monorail.
The Rocks

It's Sydney's oldest part of the city featuring early colonial architecture, historic pubs, archaeological dig sites, fine restaurants, bars, hotels, galleries and shops. It's also just steps away from the Circular Quay train station and the Harbour Bridge.

Chinatown

This exciting bustling part of Sydney is located near the central business district and Darling Harbour. Tantalizing smells tease you as you walk around Dixon Street, a pedestrian mall filled with Chinese restaurants enclosed between two Paifangs (traditional Chinese archways). It's close to George Street, known for its affordable fashions, fast-food restaurants, movie theatres and entertainment centers.
