More Things To Do And See At Circular Quay!

When you walk around Circular Quay there are often Aboriginals playing the Didgeridoo. This is very interesting to see and to hear, they are very friendly and encourage tourists to come and take pictures or ask questions.



Along the outskirts of Circular Quay is The Rocks, which is a historic part of Sydney that has a lot of shops and restaurants. I went into a lot of the souvenir shops just to look at all of the wonderful and brightly colored boomerangs and Didgeridoos for sale. (Some are extremely expensive! I saw a Didgeridoo for over $300!) However, it is fun to see all of the Aboriginal designs; each one is unique!




Just across the street from the wharf is the Customs House, which features an amazing scale-model of Sydney in the ground floor. The Customs House also hosts a library and has information about exhibits. The building has beautiful architecture and is a work of art in itself! I definitely recommend a visit to The Rocks and the Customs House if you are at Circular Quay (I mean, what do you have to lose? It's free!) You can learn about Australia's heritage, see historic buildings, and experience the culture all in one visit to Circular Quay. It is amazing!
