My flight landed at the Sydney International Airport at 8:15am. I arrived at my hotel, the Swissotel at 10:00am.
The hotel under the Sydney Tower was conveniently located right in the center of the city.

After getting settled at my accommodations I walked all around the city.
I spent a lot of time around the harbour viewing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.

I began New Year's Eve by walking over to Darling Harbor and catching a Matilda Ferry to the Taronga Zoo.

What makes the Sydney Zoo special is the fantastic setting. Built right on the Sydney Harbour overlooking the city.
