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.
