Sightseeing
World famous coastal walk, well worth doing at least once on your visit to this area. It's 6km so if you don't want to walk the return trip you can get a bus back to Bondi junction, then another from there to Randwick! There's lots of cafes along the way, and beautiful beaches so wear your cossies.

As a day trip take the big ferry from Circular Quay to Manly.
On Sundays travel is cheap – currently it’s $2.50 for all day bus/ferry/train travel all over Sydney on an opal card (but this can change so check it). So get out and just wander around! Balmain is nice area to visit by Ferry from Darling Harbour, lots of small shops and cafes and a market on Saturdays.
