Funkhouse to Opera House Walk

One of the first things which every new backpacker to Australia will do is the famous Funkhouse to Opera House walk. Getting to the Opera House from the Funk House is very easy and only takes 20 minutes with some of the most amazing views of Sydney you will ever see.

Turn left on Lankelly Place where Funkhouse is located, then left again on Orwell Street until you reach Victoria Street. Then turn right and walk along it until you see a set of steps across the road.

Going down the stairs you will get to (1) WOLLOOMOOLOO BAY where the Australian Naval base is situated and also HARRY'S CAFÉ DE WHEELS. This is an Australian icon serving pies, pasties and hot dogs to celebrities, tourists and locals.

Soon after the bay you get to (2) ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS. Stop at MACQUARIE POINT for a shot of the Opera House with the Harbour Bridge in the background and then it is just a short walk from there to the famous (3) OPERA HOUSE.
