what makes a great city we start with a
good skyline some beautiful parks
spectacular harbour add one of the
world's great architectural icons and
you've got Sydney Australia it's more
than opera this is culture this is life
this is explorations and tell me where
we are
well you are in the spectacular northern
foyer of the Sydney Opera House we do
everything here we do circus we do
comedy we do over 2,000 performances and
events you live on the harbour this is
where you come to get around it's like
Grand Central Station
Barry and I know Criss crossing the
harbour all day all he thinks everywhere
you look there's water cut bait to fill
around grow up in it and then you get
addicted to it this is the closest you
can get to swimming in the harbour
the spectacular salt wonderful right
underneath Harbour Bridge you come up
here and have a look you've got the
beautiful Sydney Harbour Bridge so we're
about 89 meters high above the water you
can climb the bridge you can see it grew
thought they are ready yes so easy to
get lost and down every little Street
there's a new Vista this is the rocks
the oldest part of Sydney the Heritage
District in the old days sailors landed
here bought it out in the docks went to
the opium dens now it's an open-air
market we're on a day trip to the Blue
Mountains just an hour and a quarter
outside of Sydney Kitumba is the main
jumping-off point for exploring the
wilderness
the blue mountains are a million
hectares of wilderness I think they
translate to just under two million
acres most of it is eucalyptus forest so
the blue mountains really are blue
you've got an eclipse leaf when the Sun
hits the leave the oil warms up it forms
his haze we had this beautiful blue yeah
atmosphere about a third of the bird
species in Australia and in the Blue
Mountains a lot of those bird species
are found in the rainforest we knew
there was rainforest way up north but we
didn't expect to see way here in itself
it's so prehistoric looking I've
expected dinosaur to come walking around
the corner it's easy to hike down and
take the railway up the world's steepest
railway oh my god this is so steep I was
not expecting that it's hard to believe
this vast wilderness it's just over an
hour from Australia's biggest city
