Schmap Sydney guide and map

Sydneysiders really do "throw shrimp on the barbie," and the Sydney Fish Market is where they go to buy their seafood. Guided tours of the market and the docks are available, where you can watch thousands of fresh fish be unloaded.

Sydney's Fox Studios is the location for the filming of such blockbuster hits as Star Wars II and III and The Matrix series, and includes a unique theatre, Hoyts at Fox Studios. There is plenty to see at Fox—a fabulous collection of shops and cinemas, restaurants and cafes, and a great weekend market.

The Tarmac Tours of Sydney's airport provide great insight into the workings of this busy international hub. If you have ever harboured dreams of being a pilot, this tour is for you. Another captivating tour is Sydney Aboriginal Discoveries. Australia's indigenous heritage is part of Sydney's fabric, and Aboriginal guides trace their culture's historical roots on this tour.

You do not have to be leaving on a jet plane to enjoy this tour, fact is, you have probably only just arrived. Even better you certainly will not experience any jet lag as you enjoy a guided tour behind the scenes at Sydney's busiest airport. The 90-minute tour, with full commentary, takes in the control tower, various aircraft and also provides a great viewing spot for take off and landings.

supplydept@sydneyfishmarket.com.au The biggest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere, every weekday morning at 5a, Sydney's best restaurateurs clamour for the catch of the day, all 65 tonnes of fresh catch in the 500-seat auction room. But it is not just a wholesale market; Sydneysiders trawl the retail outlets for the freshest fish, crabs, clams, lobster and a myriad of sea-creatures. There are also eateries where you can enjoy sushi or fish and chips.
