Olympic Park
The site of the 2000 Australian Millennium Olympic Games, built
on a former garbage dump, has become a favourite tourist attraction
(there are afternoon bus tours from Circular Quay in central
Sydney). Call at the information centre first for information, maps
and tour guides. The marvellous Stadium Australia, built for the
Olympic track and field events, is currently the venue for
Australian rugby and soccer matches. Tours of the stadium are
available. The Aquatic Centre is open to the public for swimming. A
great view of the eco-friendly Olympic Park and city can be had
from the observation deck of the Novotel Hotel.
