Queen Victoria Building
Last Updated: Sep. 08, 2008
The Queen Victoria Building in Sydney (known to the locals as the QVB) was a beautiful building in itself when it was completed in 1898 but it has now been transformed into a shopping arcade filled with over 200 boutiques and galleries. The building is packed with pedestrians during rush hour as people walk through the building to get to work but the small one-off shops and major chain stores fill the opulent interior and create an escape form the often hectic pace outside.
The Queen Victoria Building is on York Street in the heart of the city.

Make sure you are at the QVB on the hour. There is a very interesting clock that plays music and shows different sceens for about 10-15 minutes best viewed from the top floor. Durring Christmas time the entire building is decorated to the max. You will also find unusual museum pieces inside the building as well. Its a defiante must see!

Itter was one of the nicest town's I've ever been in, absolutely gorgeous. It's a sleepy town, but on Contiki you bring your own nightlife. This was one stop I wont forget.
I'm a Bondi local...it is always packed with people...if you're looking for a more chilled beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
I bought a high sierra duffel bag - it has a zip down panel on the back and you can pull out the back pack straps…I also have a laptop back pack…
