Flights to Australia

I paid £650 for Heathrow to Sydney in October. I then paid another £100 to secure the exit seats on the top deck.

A380 all they way :)

So £750 for maximum leg room and a nice part of the plane.

Edit: SIngapore Airlines

I am going Qantas/BA, but luckily not economy so hopefully some of the crappiness mentioned above will be ironed out. :(

Sydney?

Go to the Bottanical Gardens for the must have photo of you with the bridge and opera house in the background.

Check the weather - if its an awesome day you MUST go to the Blue Mountains.

Go up the Sydney Skytower. The view is amazing and the Oztrek experience you get free is a laugh.

Sydney Widlife World isn't bad either.

Hire a car and drive through the Blue Mountains to Bathurst and drive around Mount Panorama race track. Have a look at all that GM junk you like in the museum ;)

Drive the Sydney-Newcastle Highway if you fancy a Motorway that runs through utterly unspoilt, thick forest on the side of amazing hills with loads of rivers/lakes. Impressive for a Motorway!
 
I got my LHR>Melbourne, Sydney>LHR flights for £420 + ~£130 for exit row :) This was back when Singapore had there deal on though, and this is for a trip in December!

I was going to do the bridge climb for my trip in December, but am not sure i'll bother now. You can't take a camera which really puts me off. I think i'll just go up the pylon, as thats wayyyyy cheaper, and you can take your camera!

Not being able to take camera's is not good, that's quite off-putting actually :/ Whats the pylon?

No because its absolutely extortionate. It's something like $180 each.

Did you investigate it at all while there? Ignoring the money it seems like a good thing to get up to. Guess i wont really be able to tell until i am there.
 
I walked the bridge so saw everyone doing it. It's about a half day thing after all the breifings etc. You walk right to the top, stand up there, and walk back. It's expensive because you need climbing harnesses etc.

Rubbish, a climbing harness is usually around £40 to buy, for climbing you normally get stuff free to borrow (or a small charge). They blatently charge that much because they can. :)
