One of the first things I did in my recent visit to Australia, during bushfire mania in 2020, was to take a walk from my hotel towards China Town and up towards the Sydney Darling-side Harbour. Later, to get some grand panoramic views of the center of Sydney I went up the Sydney Tower Eye.
Lots of entertainment venues, pubs, restaurants, and various attractions, like a ferris wheel, with an assortment of parks and gardens all over. It makes for a wonderful stroll for a couple of hours, even of a gloomy bushfire smoggy day.
