It is sad but true that Sydney's skies aren't always blue. There's gotta
be a little rain sometimes.
So what do you do if it rains when you are in Sydney?
If you want to make a run for it there are options north, west and
south of Sydney:
If you have kids:
Stay in Sydney when its Raining
But if you're a fighter and intend to stick it out with the rest of
us you should grab your umbrella, waterproofs or wetsuit (what ever
your preference) and get out there and have some fun.
Sydney
Harbour Bridge - A good looker whatever the weather
Climb The Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon
The Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon is great value and packed full of great
information and 200 steps. You will be rewarded at the top with a great
view of the Sydney Opera House so unless it is really chucking it down
its well worth taking steps to see it.
Sydney Aquarium in Darling Harbour and Oceanworld at Manly
Manly's Oceanworld or Sydney Aquarium are good lousy weather activities.
Having the sharks, manta rays and other large beasties swim up close
is quite an experience.
Visit which ever is the most convenient on the day and aim to be there
during feeding times (but not if you're planning a dip!). Feeding time
at Oceanworld is interesting as the giant Mantra Rays 'cuddle' the divers
handing out the fish. Click below for more information:
Sydney has a Wild, Wild, Wildlife World in Darling Harbour
What
are you looking at? A Cassowary of course.
Wildlife World is is conveniently convenient. Conveniently located
next to Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour Wildlife World also has lots
of wildlife conveniently group together. It is sort of townhouse zoo.
Great for a wet day.
Powerhouse Museum - Darling Harbour
The Powerhouse Museum is a science and design museum with interactive
exhibits. The museum is family friendly, educational friendly, interestingly
friendly and basically, a really friendly place to visit. The Powerhouse
Museum usually runs a number of different exhibitions. Technology and
Space Exploration often feature.
The Powerhouse does well for kids, particularly during the school holidays.
This is an excellent wet weather thing to do.
You'll find the Powerhouse at the edge of Darling Harbour in Harris
Street, Ultimo.
Imax 3D Movies - Darling Harbour
Located at Darling Harbour the Imax Theatre has the worlds largest
screen (apparently) so I wouldn't advise sitting too close to the front.
The Imax shows some good 3D movies. If you haven't seen a 3D movie before,
or not for a long time, Imax is well worth considering. It also shows
feature length movies like Star Trek, which is something on the really
really big screen. Imax is a good wet weather thing to do and is conveniently
located in Darling Harbour.
Go Shopping
It is possible to shop your way from Town Hall to Pitt Street Mall
without getting wet.
Queen Victoria Building (QVB)
The QVB is a lovely old building converted into a multi level shopping
mail. The QVB also functions as part of a well traveled pedestrian thoroughfare
between Town Hall Train Station on the south side of George Street to
the heart of Pitt Street Mall. On your way have a look at the clock
on the top floor of the QVB particularly on the hour. Rumoured that
the prices go up in the QVB as you do.
Yoga, Massage, Shopping and Sydney - what a combination
