 But you can also get some good views from the Harbour Bridge – if you 
go up the Pylon Lookout – and the Opera House as well. I’d go for the Tower though, if you’ve 
got a good head for heights! 
2. That’s MCA – it’s got some wonderful modern and contemorary art 
3. You should go to the National Maritime Museum. You can visit twelve or so historic ships in 
the outdoor display and the indoor exhibitions are also well worth visiting. 
4. you could go to Bondi Beach, or there’s some great beaches to the north. 
5. you could try the Power house Museum – that’s got a lot of hands –on stuff- but if they’re 
interested in sea-life then it’s got to be the Aquarium 
6. Yes, go down to Sydney harbour – I’ll show you where – and take any one of the cruises. 
There’s a lot to choose from I recommend one of the old squareriggers. 
7. There’s always Chinatown if you like Chinese food. Or alternatively, I could give you the names 
and addresses of some good Thai restaurants – they’re my favourite 
8. The place to go is Luna Park. It was restored and modernized a few years back and it’s great. 
You’ll love it, I guarantee it! 
9. if I were you I’d go to the Botanical Gardens or the Chinese Garden. 
10. I can recommend lots of places to go shopping, but I think the place you’re talking about is the 
Queen Victoria Building.

Guide commentaries

The elegant building you can see on your left with the lovely green lawns in front of it is, of 
course, one of the most famous buildings in America. It is also one of the most powerful. It was 
designed by James Hoban after the site had been chosen by George Washington. Building work 
began in 1792, and althoght it was burned early on by the British in the war of 1814, it was 
restored. John Adams was the first president to live here. 
2
You are now standing in front of one of the most famous sights in the whole world. It is without 
doubt the finest example of Mughal architecture. The glorious white marble exterior stands as a 
symbol of purity and love. It was built by the emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum – a burial place 
– for his beloved wife Mumtaz, and it took nearly twenty years to build. 
3
The magnificent structure we are now passing is 300 metres high and has stood on this site for 
over a century. It stands as a proud example of the technological and engineering achievements of 
19th century France. It is said that the British planned to build a similar structure just a bit higher, 
but they only got as far as the first stage when – so the story goes – the structure began to collapse.

Now, standing in the middle of this square we have a splendid view of the largest and most 
important church in the Christian world. The church was started in the early 16th century and took 
over a hundred years to complete. Bramante, Raffaello, and Michelangelo all worked on it. The 
centerpiece of the church is the magnificent dome standing over 120 metres high. We shall now go 
into the church and climb to the top for some wonderful view of the city – so I hope you are 
feeling fit!

The building in front of you is nearly two-and-a-half thousand years old. It is a masterpiece of 
architecture, reflecting the advanced development of the culture which producted it. It wa built as a 
temple to the goddess Athena, but in its long history it has also been used as a Christian church and 
as a mosque. Over the years much of it has been destroyed, indeed a lot of the sculptures are held 
in the British Museum in London. 
6
We’re now approaching a very famous sight indeed. It has a main span of 1,280 metres, with a 
total length of 2,824 metres, making it one of the world’s longest suspension bridges. As we cross, 
look to your left for some superb views of the city and the bay, and to your right you’ll be able to 
gaze out to the blue horizon of the Pacific Ocean. 
7
Soon we’ll be entering one of the most famous ancient buildings in the world. Most of what you 
can see is original. Imagine the blood and the death, the cruelty, and the peculiar pleasures of the 
declining empire. It was here also the Christians are said to have been thrown to the wild beasts.
