Things to do in New South Wales

Tazzette by Tazzette Talking(January 2007) (rank 496th)

I went looking for places that I could take Taylor when he gets a bit older & thought that I would share them with you. I will do it for each state. If anyone knows of some more please either leave a comment at the bottom or in my blog

& I will get straight onto it. Perhaps other's could do it for their own country or state.

Re: Things to do in New South Wales
This is good how you have provided all of the pricing for people to plan their budget - sometimes these places have specials in the off season too.  If you are planning to visit any of these places, get on the email list a few weeks before you go, you might get a discount.

Fairfield City Farm
My son went to Fairfield City Farm for a school excursion last year and loved it. They have both traditional farm animals and native animals too. His fav part was the whip cracking, and being able to milk cows. Highly recommend it!

Some other animal attractions:

Other Attractions:
http://www.anmm.gov.au (national maritime museum - has some hands on displays and some ships you can explore)
http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/ (has a HUGE hands on section for kids)

And this link might help too:
