Summers are slightly cooler, with temperatures in coastal areas rarely dropping below 5°C. The coldest month is July, with average extremes of 8.0°C–16.2°C. The lowest minimum ever recorded is 2.1°C. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed between summer and winter, with slightly higher amounts in the first half of the year due to easterly winds.

The average annual rainfall is 1.5 mm, moderate and not very variable, with an average of 138.0 rainy days per year. Snowfall occurred in the Sydney area in the 1830s.

While Sydney doesn't experience cyclones or major earthquakes, the El Nino phenomenon or El Nino Southern Oscillation is influencing Sydney's weather conditions: droughts and bushfires on the one hand, and storms and flooding on the other, combining the two opposite sides of the oscillation.

Many areas of Sydney bordering forests have experienced bushfires, particularly in 1994 and 2002—bushfires tend to occur in spring and summer. Sydney is prone to rare hailstorms and gale force winds.

The central business district is the large area covered by the Sydney metropolitan area, which was previously divided into more than 300 local government areas (for postal purposes) and is now governed by about 38 separate local government areas (the New South Wales State Government and its agencies also have a large number of functions).

Sydney is a small city, covering only the central business district and the surrounding inner city areas. In addition, Sydney has many informal divisions for urban areas.

However, it is worth noting that there are many suburbs in Sydney that are not included in the following informal divisions: Eastern Suburbs, Hills, Inner West, Lower North Shore, Northern Beaches, North Shore, South Sydney, South Eastern Sydney, South Western Sydney and Western Sydney.

Sydney's central business district stretches about 2 km (1.25 mi) south from Sydney Cove, the first European settlement. It is dotted with skyscrapers, historic sites such as sandstone buildings such as Sydney Town Hall and Queen Victoria Building, and public buildings such as Sydney Parliament House.

There are parks such as Wynyard Park and Hyde Park. The central business district is adjacent to many parks to the east - Hyde Park, The Domain, Royal Botanic Gardens and Farm Bay in Sydney Harbour. The central business district is adjacent to the tourist resort Darling Harbour to the west.

Central Station is at the end of the CBD. George Street is the north-south street in Sydney's CBD. In the south of the CBD, the streets are slightly grid-like.

The streets of Sydney are well-organized; in contrast, in the older northern part of the central business district, the streets are more chaotic. This reflects the special development of Sydney's early bullock lanes. Sydney's streets are narrower than those in other Australian cities, which also reflects its characteristics as Australia's first ancient city.

Although Sydney's central business district was Sydney's commercial and cultural pillar in the early days, other commercial and cultural districts have continued to develop outward since World War II. As a result, the proportion of white-collar jobs in the central business district fell from more than 60% after the end of World War II to less than 30% in 2004.

Sydney's five most important outer ring business districts include Hurstville in the south, Parramatta in the central and western parts, Blacktown in the west, Liverpool in the southwest, Chatswood in the north and North Sydney north of Sydney Harbour.

1. Sydney's time is Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is two hours earlier than Beijing, and one hour earlier during daylight saving time.

2. Almost all Chinese and foreign tour groups do not enter the essence of the Royal Botanic Gardens. They only go to the place where there is a stone carved chair (named Mrs. Macquarie's Chair after the wife of Lachlan Macquarie, the first governor of New South Wales).

Then we took photos of the Sydney Bridge and Sydney Opera House across the bay, and that was it. It took no more than 30 minutes, which was a pity. Yunluo strongly suggested that we take photos of the Sydney Opera House after that. Like Yunluo and An Qingju did on this trip.

Walk along the seaside and enter the Inner Botanical Garden through the gate. (The place where Yunluo and An Qingju are walking now, including Mrs. Macquarie's chair and the viewing platform where the Sydney Opera House was filmed, are all in the Outer Botanical Garden. This is not the essence of the Botanical Garden.)

Then we walked through the inner botanical garden and entered the Sydney Opera House. Because the botanical garden is so beautiful and there are almost no foreign tourists, it is very quiet and you can personally experience the leisurely life atmosphere of the local people in Sydney.

3. In Sydney Opera House, it is recommended to join the opera house's own Chinese tour guide to visit the small group, adults AUD24 per person, you can enter to visit their theater, the theater is not allowed to take pictures. But they will let you enter the inner area of ​​the opera house.

Their staff will take photos for you, and then you can get a Sydney Opera House souvenir set made by them for AUD25 after you come out, including:

1) A very beautiful envelope, which contains: a large photo with your photo inside the Sydney Performance Hall + a large photo with your photo outside the Sydney Opera House.

2) 4 celebrity photos with your photos, including: Photos of the Sydney Performance Hall + Photos of the Sydney Opera House exterior + Night view of the Sydney Opera House + Panoramic view of the Sydney Opera House

3) A brochure about the Sydney Opera House

4) A CD

I suggest you join the tour first, and then they will give you a voucher, and then you can get a discount on your consumption in the Sydney Opera House! It's a pity that Yunluo and An Qingju didn't know in advance, and they ate first and then went to visit, otherwise Yunluo and An Qingju's Chinese food could have been discounted, although not much, it was also good.

4. When arranging a tour in Sydney, it is best to have a relatively free night. When visiting the Sydney Opera House, you can ask the tour guide to help buy a ticket for the show so that you can go in and enjoy it at night. It is really worth it. Yunluo and An Qingju didn't have time this time. Take a ferry from the fifth pier in

This is much cheaper than taking a cruise, and the effect is similar. Yunluo did not write down the specific cost per person, but only wrote down the ferry ticket cost for Yunluo and An Qingju, two adults and one child.

6. This is an advertisement for a ferry pass found at the disembarkation point at Darling Harbour. If your itinerary requires it, it is quite cost-effective to buy this pass. It may not be clear after being posted. Friends in need can send an email. At the Sydney Bridge, there is a building called Wildlife Sydney. This is a wildlife museum in the downtown area. In the lobby, there are little koalas that are advertised for free viewing by tourists. This is a little koala in eastern Australia.

The big koalas that Yunluo and An Qingju saw in Perth are two different species of koalas, and it is located at the exit of Darling Harbour, so it is worth a visit.

1. Sydney Airport - Hotel Taxi: about RMB 193,

2. Devere Hotel, a 2-night room costs AUD179, about RMB 1,005.

3. Breakfast at the coffee shop next to the hotel: 1 cup of coffee + 4 kinds of bread (or hot dogs), about RMB 111.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

3. I bought two ice cream cones from the store outside the Royal Botanic Gardens where I took photos of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Bridge, for a total of AUD8, about RMB 45. 4. Meal at the Sydney Opera House +=, about RMB 143.

5. Visit Sydney Opera House AUD24*2 (children get a free ticket). AUD48 in total, about RMB 270.

6. Buy a souvenir set for visiting the Sydney Opera House (Yunluo and An Qingjue photo set) for AUD25, about RMB 140.

7. Sydney Opera House Pier 5-> Darling Harbour Ferry, two people, total cost is about RMB 82,

8. I drank a beer at a bar in Darling Harbour, AUD8, which was about RMB 45.

9. Take the subway for 2 stops, total fare for two people*3=, about RMB 80,

10. Shopping in the HS supermarket next to the hotel, about RMB 306.

This tour was booked by Yunluo at a travel agency on the street after arriving in Sydney and getting off at King's Cross Station near the hotel on the subway last night. Yunluo had read a guide written by others, which said that you can take a train to the central area of ​​the Blue Mountains - the town of ba (Katoomba).

Then they decided to buy a sightseeing bus pass that allows them to get on and off at any time, but considering that this was too troublesome, they just went to a travel agency on the street and bought tickets for Yunluo and An Qingjue for a one-day trip to the Blue Mountains. After the tour.

Yunluo couldn't help but clap his hands in celebration, thinking that he had made the right decision, because taking the train + local bus to visit the Blue Mountains would not only take more time, but the price was almost the same as Yunluo and An Qingju's group tour. In addition, after arriving in the Blue Mountains, he realized that the town of Ba was the center of the Blue Mountains.
