Cross the Dateline
The International
Date Line is an imaginary line on the earth’s surface that
approximately coincides with the 180th meridian (LONGITUDE), and
separates the calendar date. Traveling east across the line takes
the traveler back one day; traveling west, takes the traveler
forward one day.
Day 3
Arrive Sydney
On arrival into Sydney you will need to clear customs and immigration before making your way through to the main arrivals hall.
Sydney - Australia's premier city is the oldest settlement in Australia, the economic powerhouse of the nation and the country's capital in everything but name. Built on the shores of the stunning Port Jackson, you would have to die and go to heaven before you see a more spectacular setting for a city. It's a vital, self-regarding metropolis, exuding both a devil-may-care urbanity and a slavish obsession with global fads. The Sydney area was the ancestral home of the Daruk tribe, whose territory extended from Botany Bay to Pittwater.
There are some 2000 Aboriginal rock engraving sites in the Sydney area, and many of Sydney's suburbs have Aboriginal names. The city of Sydney began life as a penal colony in 1788 and for the next 60 years received the unwanted, persecuted and criminal elements of British society. Despite its brutal beginnings, the city's mixture of pragmatic egalitarianism and plain indifference has transformed it into a thriving multicultural society. Sydney now attracts the majority of Australia's immigrants and the city's predominantly Anglo-Irish heritage has been revitalized by large influxes of Italian, Lebanese, Turkish, Greek, Chinese and Vietnamese.
Days 4-7 At Leisure, Sydney
The next few days are at leisure to explore Sydney and the surrounding areas. Sydney is Australia's largest city and most famous for its spectacular harbor, the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. There are many places to see in Sydney and the restaurants are excellent, the Rocks area is filled with history and there are many wonderful places just outside the city that are worth a visit.
Day 8 Fly Sydney to USA
Make your own way to the airport for your departure flight.
