Sydney Luna Park
The Luna Park is an icon of Sydney with its fabulous view of the Harbour bridge and The Sydney Opera House. Luna Park's entry with a big laughing happy clown face and the slogan of "Just for fun" is a happy memory for every Australian in every generations.
To briefly introduce the history of Luna park,
The first year that Luna park constructed was 1935 and it has been changing since then.
However, Luna Park was closed in mid-1979, immediately following the Ghost Train fire, which killed six children and one adult. Most of the park was demolished, and a new amusement park was constructed; this originally operated under the name of Harbourside Amusement Park before resuming the Luna Park name. The park was closed again in 1988 as an independent engineering inspection determined that several rides needed urgent repair. After another redevelopment, Luna Park reopened in 2004 and has continued operating since
Luna Park is located at Milsons Point.
1 Olympic Dr, Milsons Point NSW 2061
For the price of ticket, it is free to enter the luna park. But you have to buy ticket for the rides. And the cost depends on what time you want to visit.

There's a good short road trip to a place called Hunter Valley. Hunter Vally is place contains a lot of different kind of wine factory. Also, there's a chocolate tasting and cheese tasting, therefore, it's not just for the adult, kids gonna love that place as well.
To Hunter Valley from Sydney is only 3 hours drive.
In Hunter Valley there's a place called LOVEDALE <3
People can catch the helicopter and view the HEART Shape land on the sky.
Then, heres some of the wine factories. You can taste all the wine for free.
But it's good bargain to buy their wine in Hunter Valley, cause personally i think their wine tastes much better compared with the wine in Sydney liquid store.
The price in Hunter Valley normally around 30 -40 dollars.
Kids gonna LOVE this place :)
This chocolate shop has a lot of interesting design chocolate, it;s good to buy it as a gift to your friends ^^

Once the preserve of expat Thais, this little red-hot chilli pepper now has queues out the door. No wonder, as everything we’ve tried from the 70-plus dishes on the menu is superfragrant and superspicy. It's been so successful that they've opened the upmarket Spice I Am – The Restaurant in Darlinghurst.

State Library of NSW
| State Library of NSW Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000 Australia |
The estimable State Library holds over five million tomes, including James Cook’s and Joseph Banks’ journals and Captain (later Governor) Bligh’s log from the mutinous HMAV Bounty. The main reading room is an elegant temple of knowledge clad in milky marble.
Also worth checking out are the temporary exhibitions in the galleries, and the elaborately sculpted bronze doors and grand atrium of the neoclassical Mitchell Wing (1910); note the map of Tasman’s journeys in the mosaic floor. Beneath one of the windows on the Macquarie St side of the building is a sculpture of explorer Matthew Flinders with his intrepid cat Trim.
Exhibitions & events
The State Library of New South Wales provides dynamic, informative and entertaining exhibitions and display programs from over one million pictorial images as well as maps, manuscripts and ephemera from our collections.
Five historic galleries in the Mitchell Wing enable visitors to see many treasures through a changing exhibition and display program.
The State Library of New South Wales also hosts inspiring talks, tours, movies and courses covering subjects as broad as our own collections. Join journalists, artists, writers, historians, researchers, curators and even food critics - there's something for everyone's taste.
