Darling Harbour
The waterside tourist precinct of Darling Harbour, close to the
central business district, is crossed by a monorail and offers
plenty of entertaining diversions, museums, carnival rides,
restaurants and shops. For example there is the Imax Theatre with
Australia's largest cinema screen; the magnificent Chinese Garden
with its serpentine paths and placid pools; and the huge Star City
Casino and the Sydney Entertainment Centre. An absolute must-see is
the Sydney Aquarium, one of the world's best aquariums, which has
underwater walkways through two huge tanks filled with an amazing
array of sea creatures. Also look out for the Powerhouse Museum and
the National Maritime Museum.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
